10th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
11-time course winner, including three since December; only 1lb higher than when completing a C&D double in February but he has struggled on his last four starts; needs to get back on track. |

2nd 7 (8) |
27th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 96y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Has won here twice already this month, taking his course record to 112311; all those races were over the extended 1m, so this race asks a slightly different question but he grabbed control well over 1f out last time, is back in career-best form and highly respected. |
4/1 |
|
1st 8 (10) |
12th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Prevailed by half a length last week, taking C&D record to 11231; successful in this race for the last two years and commands respect, even under a 4lb penalty, kept to his ideal scenario. |
4/1 |
|
1st 1 (14) |
4th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Acts on good to firm and soft ground; overall record of 3-38 but his last two wins have come over C&D and he returned to form with a front-running third here 11 days ago; remains well handicapped off 2lb lower than for his last success and he could make another bold bid. |

27th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |

All seven wins have been here, including three over C&D; in the money twice here since his last win and holds place claims at least. |
8/1 |
|
10th 2 (11) |
5th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Frequent Wolverhampton winner who's 0-12 on turf, including in his Irish days (has 4lb lower mark than on the AW); very consistent, though, and should get the good pace he wants, so every chance he gets involved again. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 3 (2) |
13th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

8.6f win here last month and turned in another solid effort back here on Monday; wouldn't want a tactical affair back at 7f but still more appealing than many. |

1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Has caught the eye a couple of times recently, but isn't proving easy to win with despite a declining mark; needs first-time blinkers to make a difference. |
9/1 |
|
5th 1 (5) |
13th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
On a long losing spell but has shaped encouragingly in two AW outings this year and remains on a workable mark; effective on turf and difficult to dismiss. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 4 (6) |
26th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
It's now 12 starts since his last victory but he got back on track in first-time cheekpieces when fourth of eight in 1m2f Lingfield handicap last month; headgear is dispensed with now but he still needs considering eased 1lb. |

16th Mar 2024 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Maiden who's had valid excuses since headgear went on and is 3lb lower back from a two-month break; sat close to a strong pace down to 1m last time and holds claims in an open handicap. |
7/1 |
|
6th 9 (4) |
11th Jan 2024 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Six-race maiden who has some encouraging form on the Tapeta at Newcastle, most recently shaping better than the bare result over 1m2f last week (made a challenge before fading late on); looks open to improvement back down in distance; interesting. |

3rd Sep 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Got off the mark on turf at Beverley (7.5f, good to firm) in June off 1lb lower mark when making all; he had to use up energy to lead from a wide stall and didn't have much left once headed when fifth at Beverley (8.5f, good to firm) nine days ago; chance if able to dominate from the front. |
8/1 |
|
5th 6 (9) |
25th Aug 2024 Good 1m 0f 100y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Free-going front-runner who has won three times this year, most recently here (7.4f, good to firm) in June; suffered worrying dip in form afterwards but steadied the ship with respectable fourth at Epsom (7f, good) last week and will be fine over today's trip; no surprise if he makes a bold bid. |
8/1 |
|
4th 3 (1) |
16th Aug 2024 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Triple all-the-way winner already in 2024 and perfectly drawn to attack this time, but can sometimes prove too free for his own good and hasn't beaten anything home since the most recent success; risks attached. |

10th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Several good runs in Class 6 turf events this summer, winning at Chepstow (7f, good) in August; not at her best last time and others look stronger. |
10/1 |
|
3 (8) |
25th Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 14y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Had been threatening for a while before winning for Taryn Langley over 7f here, back in the cheekpieces, off 4lb lower 11 days ago; there's little wiggle room off this mark but the extra furlong's fine round a course she likes, and she's a player. |
7/1 |
|
3 (5) |
14th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Largely consistent mare who was placed over 1m here (good to firm) last month and went down fighting when very close second to Romanovich over C&D (good) a fortnight later; wears headgear for first time since 2023; likely to make her presence felt again. |

20th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 23y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Nine wins to his name, including C&D, and just 1lb higher than for March's narrow Kempton success (1m3f); two creditable efforts have followed but he could use the ground drying out if he is to add to his tally. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 2 (2) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Ridden by Rossa Ryan (now on Kurios Lady) on last two starts, prevailing narrowly at Kempton (1m3f) before a close fourth at Southwell (1m3f); they were on AW and he ran only once on turf last year, when a respectable third off this mark at Haydock (1m2f, good) last July but he needs better than that. |
