7th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Three-time turf winner who is just 1lb higher than when winning at Lingfield (1m, AW) in February; hasn't been in the same form since and returns from a break today, but drops back down in grade and is not ruled out. |
9/1 |

10th 12 (7) |
4th May 2024 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Often front-runs; Lingfield AW in February ended his losing run and he was 33-1 when well held there in a Class 2 latest outing (rare start with this visor, instead of usual blinkers); second at Epsom last August showed some turf ability remained, but he's 2lb higher today and not the percentage call. |

25th Sep 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Three of his five wins have come at this track; not at his best on turf the last twice but he's edging back down the weights and a better showing can't be ruled out. |
16/1 |

9th 9 (9) |
13th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
8st 9lb |
Five-time AW winner but made it 0-12 on turf when finishing last at Brighton, where he ran well to be third the time before; even if back on song, all his wins have come at a lower level than this. |

6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Five-time C&D winner who's not well drawn for one happiest on the sharp end; resumed in good form, with two solid efforts over 1m, but has never won off a mark this high and isn't improving at his age. |
12/1 |
|
4th 4 (6) |
14th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Five-time Kempton winner who boasts a consistent record round here too; solid comeback from over three months off over C&D last month and is well drawn for one happiest on the sharp end but has never won off a mark this high. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 3 (9) |
20th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Multiple AW winner, including C&D, but yet to win off a mark this high; creditable effort at Kempton (7f; Class 4) when last seen in December; could prove vulnerable at this level once again. |

4th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Recorded the 18th win of his long career when leading late over C&D in February (for Myla Coppins); ran well behind a thriving rival at Lingfield next time but he failed to fire over C&D a fortnight ago (finished behind Coloane); he has bounced back from quiet runs before so can't be ruled out. |
6/1 |
|
8th 7 (7) |
20th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
18th success of his long career when getting the better of Antiquity (winner since and runs in the 6.00) over C&D last month; bumped into an in-form opponent at Lingfield two weeks ago (7f; blinkered first time); another 2lb rise is not ideal but he is likely to give his running. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 2 (4) |
5th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Well into the veteran stage but he retains plenty of enthusiasm and ran on well to beat a subsequent winner (Age Of Time third) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) three weeks ago, his 18th success; a 2lb rise not excessive but late in the day to be giving blinkers a go (has run well in new headgear before). |

9th Jul 2024 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Three 1m Polytrack wins since November, the latest in a small-field C&D claimer six weeks ago; more needed back in a handicap but he's not ruled out; cheekpieces left off today. |
4/1 |

1st 4 (1) |
30th May 2024 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Front-runner; wore cheekpieces on last five starts, including three good runs (one 1m win) on Chelmsford Polytrack this February-April but below form there on latest outing; made less of an impact early in 2024 on his two runs here; wore a hood earlier in career and it's now restored; considered. |

10th Apr 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Has looked quirky/awkward at times; perhaps hard to place after winning first two starts for the Johnstons and he left them for 3,800gns in February; new yard had a winner with a recent recruit last week but this one might be best watched. |

21st May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Two wins at 7f on AW and he went close on that surface at Wolverhampton (7f) in March; below that form on last two starts and has something to prove back at 6f on this forecast easy turf; blinkers go on. |
8/1 |

27th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Regressive gelding who's often been inclined to pull hard since returning from a year off; winless since his 3yo days and there are safer options. |
6/1 |
|
7th 9 (8) |
10th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Overall record of 2-30 but this 7yo has been in good form recently and he was only just caught over C&D last time; only 1lb higher and she should make another bold bid. |

24th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |

10th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

24th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 4 |
