12th 4 (8) |
11th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Runner-up at Kempton (7f, AW) two starts ago and he has a 9lb lower mark to work with on turf; however, he's been inconsistent this year and his sole turf win (from 15 attempts) came back in 2023. |
8/1 |

9th 3 (8) |
11th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Two-time C&D winner; solid efforts in defeat on his last two starts; still feasibly weighted but happiest when dominating and a few of these like to force the pace. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 4 (1) |
2nd Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Seven of his eight wins have come on AW, including two over C&D; only 1lb higher than for his last success in October and he ran for a long way when fourth at Chelmsford 18 days ago; has good draw back at this track and it wouldn't be a surprise if he made a bold bid. |

12th Jun 2025 Good 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
In good form this spring, winning at Thirsk (1m, good) and over C&D (good to firm) last month; front pair were 6l clear that day and if he can maintain that level of form he'd still look well treated despite a 5lb rise. |

22nd May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |

7yo who was better than ever last season, a campaign that concluded with a fine second of 17 over C&D (good); races off the same mark today but he hasn't shone on his two outings this year. |

3rd Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Eight-time winner on AW and 0-24 on turf but he went very close off his lower turf mark at Nottingham (8.5f, good to firm) one week ago; same mark here and must have claims in search of his turf breakthrough. |
15/8 |
|
2nd 1 (3) |
26th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 75y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Last nine starts on AW; ended a losing run when scoring at Lingfield (1m) in December but that set up for his closing style and he's not really threatened in four runs since, latterly at Kempton (7f) 113 days ago; can race off his lower turf mark today but others are more persuasive. |

2nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

In reasonably good form having made the frame in last two starts, rallying both times; on a two-year losing spell but remain 7lb below last winning mark; enters calculations. |
6/1 |
|
4th 11 (1) |
17th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Winless in two years but has slid to a handy mark and resumed in decent form; holds each-way claims but this is a stronger race than the Thirsk handicap in which he was a bit unlucky not to finish closer last time. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 7 (4) |
2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Hold-up sprinter and on a losing run of 21; well handicapped as a consequence and should be sharper for his Ripon reappearance 16 days ago. |

27th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Shaped well, amid traffic issues, over 6f at Kempton on reappearance; has gained most wins over 7f, including twice at Wolverhampton; interesting back up in trip with Toby Moore taking off a handy 7lb. |
8/1 |
|
5th 4 (4) |
14th Jan 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
6f winner but majority of his wins at 7f; went back-to-back at Chepstow in May/June; not in same form since and returns to AW after a break with his mark still looking tricky; drop back down in trip also a slight query. |

13th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Won a division of this off 9lb lower in 2025 when it was run as a 0-85, and raised his highest mark defied twice more after; holding his own in Polytrack Class 2s of late, but has more back in his favour tonight. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 4 (6) |
27th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Has registered all wins over 7f and in lower grades; however, ran respectably in Lingfield Class 2 most recently, while shaping as if this return to 1m is worth a go; whether he can defy current mark is another matter. |
12/1 |

4th 3 (5) |
14th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Into the veteran stage but in the form of his life this winter, finishing third over C&D before a Wolverhampton win and a Southwell second; likely vulnerable to an improver but should give his running again. |

Made a winning racecourse debut in November 2023; he has found life tougher in handicaps, including four runs for new yard in 2025; latest effort was slightly better but others appeal more. |

9st 1lb |
Almost as good as ever at the age of seven and went down narrowly at Ripon (6f, good) earlier this month; hard to knock but this is a warm race and he faces some unexposed rivals. |
14/1 |

3rd 5 (7) |
8th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Began this year with two Newcastle wins (6f, Tapeta) but he was only eighth of ten there last month; has won over C&D but has a patchy profile and needs to step up again on this return to turf. |
10/1 |

8th 8 (1) |
13th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
8st 12lb |
Began the season with two C&D wins, the second an impressive one; only fourth at Wolverhampton last time but he was putting in good late work and that form has been well advertised since; another 4lb higher today but the return to Newcastle is in his favour. |

Not yet fully exposed after only nine runs and won over 7f on this surface at Newcastle a year ago; ran well in defeat behind much-improved rival over that C&D in October and has good claims if in similar form after break. |

6th 11 (5) |
1st Jun 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
Dual 6f winner at Southwell (AW); good second dropped to 5f at Carlisle (good to firm) most recently, meeting traffic then keeping on well once in the clear; unexposed at this distance and warrants respect off unaltered mark. |
13/2 |
|
2nd 1 (2) |
20th May 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Both wins over 6f on Tapeta at Southwell; led until folding in the final 1f at Thirsk (6f, good to soft) most recently, suggesting this drop in distance is worth a shot. |
