28th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
10st 9lb |
Veteran who does most racing over shorter now; didn't offer a lot back from a break over C&D last Monday and is some way down the pecking order. |

21st Sep 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |

Multiple winner at this venue and showed he can still be competitive when third over C&D in June; others still preferred for win purposes. |

16th Oct 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Enhanced his fine Beverley record with a win over the extended 7f last month but a 0-16 AW record suggests that even a 2lb nudge may leave him vulnerable for win purposes here. |
12/1 |
|
1st 10 (5) |
22nd Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 75y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
His four course wins (8.4f) have all come in the month of May; creditable third 24 days ago but more will be needed back up in class. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 6 (8) |
29th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 100y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Has gained all four handicap wins over C&D, including two this May (good to soft/good to firm); also ran well over the extended 7f here in midsummer and has been given a chance by the handicapper on the back of a poor run at Pontefract five weeks ago; his C&D record affords him plenty of respect. |

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 |
9st 7lb |
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. |

28th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 162y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Won juvenile hurdle over C&D in 2022; ended long losing run in basement-grade Flat race last month but has not run over hurdles since November 2024 and his current ability over jumps is tricky to gauge. |
6/1 |
|
1st 3 (7) |
7th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |

It's been a while since he got his head in front on the line; was beaten less than 3l at Windsor last month and drops into a classified; needs to be considered. |

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. |

25th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Ten wins, with seven on AW and three on turf; his last success was off 1lb lower at Ffos Las (1m2f, good) in June but he's been beaten 8l in both subsequent runs and needs a revival; cheekpieces reapplied. |
7/1 |
|
5th 7 (6) |
30th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 23y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Scored off 2lb lower at Ffos Las (1m2f, good) in June and has claims if judged on that performance but ought to have been suited by return to Polytrack when unplaced favourite at Kempton (1m4f) 18 days ago, and the forecast rain may not aid his cause here. |
5/1 |
|
6th 1 (9) |
12th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Five-time course winner (1m-1m3f) who gained his third success on turf when winning under Billy Loughnane at Ffos Las (1m2f, good) in June; can't be dismissed back on the AW off this 2lb higher mark. |
