25th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Turf winner who has bagged four wins at this venue; returns following a two-month break (has gone well fresh) but he's more a place prospect than a win-only one. |

22nd Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 80y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Returned to form with 8.6f AW win in March and comes here after two good efforts over 1m on turf; drops in grade here and should be fine over this extended 7f; might be the answer. |

18th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 212y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Four-time AW winner who returned to form when scoring at Wolverhampton (8.6f) in March; record of 1-18 on turf but he went close at Chepstow (1m, good) last month and is a big player if he can back that up off unchanged mark. |

27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 14y Class 5 |

Has won seven of his 25 races on turf; has run well in three starts since returning last month and should run his usual solid race. |

15th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

17th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Boasts a decent record in handicaps round here (two wins and two seconds from six starts) and ran better than his final position suggests over C&D from a wide stall two weeks ago; one to consider. |
12/1 |
|
9th 3 (9) |
3rd Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Didn't get home at Southwell (7f, Tapeta) last month, but his record in handicaps around here reads 21412, his latest win coming over this trip in November after six months off; still just 1lb higher and respected; stable also runs Bungle Bay. |

9st 6lb |
Made it 0-13 when only sixth over C&D 11 days ago on his second start of the season, but it's possible he's working his way back to form and he's well handicapped on last season's best efforts; not written off. |

Made it 0-12 when tailed off in reapplied cheekpieces on recent reappearance; however, if he's following the same pattern as last year there could be a big run forthcoming with the blinkers back on this afternoon. |

19th Oct 2024 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Hasn't found it easy in handicaps since a novice win last November; down in the weights and fitted with new headgear today but opposable from a wide stall. |

30th Sep 2024 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

Won a 7f novice at Newcastle last November; disappointing since, and plenty to prove after finishing last of 11 after a break at Newcastle last time. |

10st 0lb |
8lb lower than when twice runner-up on the Wolverhampton Tapeta (8.6f/9.5f) early last year, but is now 0-15 and has never tackled this far before; others preferred. |

20th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
14-race maiden; not beaten far at Lingfield (1m2f) this month, his second run after a layoff, and now 7lb lower than when going close over C&D in March 2024; not ruled out. |

19th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
0-13 but he's still relatively unexposed as a sprinter and he wasn't beaten far into third at Brighton ten days ago; one to consider. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 4 (6) |
9th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
12-race maiden with form figures of 5808756 for his new yard since December; has dropped a long way in the weights but slow starts have been an issue at times and he was never involved at Salisbury two weeks ago; others are more convincing. |
9/1 |

24th Jul 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Started handicap life on an unrealistic mark for Richard Hannon last year but is competitive now and shaped nicely again last time; it remains to be seen whether he has the toe for 5f but he's a keen-goer and one of the more interesting runners. |

19th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
A two-time 1m scorer at Newcastle last autumn; yet to hit top form this season though, only seventh of 14 back over 1m there last month; mark is slipping but he still needs to take a step forward. |
10/1 |
|
7th 5 (9) |
26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
He hasn't been at his very best this year and a refusal to settle is becoming an issue; however, he was returning from a break at Doncaster three weeks ago and that run may have got the freshness out of him; impressive when winning two in a row over C&D last autumn and not written off. |
20/1 |
|
5th 12 (7) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Two clearcut wins at Newcastle (1m, AW) last autumn but he wasn't at his best on Tapeta during the winter; has scored over C&D in the past but he's never won a Class 4 and this is competitive on his return; others preferred. |
