22nd Oct 2024 Soft 1m 2f 23y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Four-time AW scorer who has proved consistent, including on grass, since most recent success (in May); went close off this mark at Chester (good) on last turf attempt; in the mix. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 5 (5) |
3rd Oct 2024 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Won twice over 1m2f on Polytrack in the spring and has continued to run well, most recently runner-up at Kempton (1m3f, Polytrack); that surface may suit better than Tapeta but he's not discounted here. |

4-8 at Wolverhampton and never ideally positioned in a slowly run race here 17 days ago; never ruled out around here. |
12/1 |

5th 4 (5) |
13th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Wouldn't judge him too harshly on latest Newcastle run and he had bumped into a progressive one at Southwell beforehand; this C&D winner has the assistance of Billy Loughnane in the saddle today; contender. |
7/2 |
|
6th 6 (8) |
6th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Had a good spell in late 2025, winning three Tapeta handicaps at around this trip; good second to a well-handicapped opponent at Southwell last week; one to take seriously. |

20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Seven of his eight wins have come at Kempton including over 1m3f in September; only 1lb higher than for that success but he's been disappointing since and was out the back on his C&D reappearance last month; down the list. |
7/1 |
|
11th 4 (3) |
8th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Veteran who has nothing to prove on this track having won seven times over 1m/1m3f here; can go well fresh so the four-month absence shouldn't be a problem, but the trip remains a moot point. |
5/1 |
|
5 (3) |
24th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Last three starts over C&D; went very close when second of 12 in June then built on his respectable return from a small break to beat 12 others nine days ago; 4lb penalty shouldn't stop him playing a part. |

27th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 75y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Now 5lb lower than his Chepstow win (1m, good to firm) last summer but things haven't been straightforward since and he wasn't at his best under conditions that should have suited in April; others preferred. |
7/1 |
|
6th 5 (4) |
10th Jun 2024 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Winning miler on turf and was only 2l away in a 1m2f handicap here in March; however, he pulled up last month's hurdling debut and then finished tailed off at Yarmouth when good to soft was no excuse. |
14/1 |
|
10th 7 (2) |
22nd May 2024 Good 1m 2f 23y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Flat win last August came over 1m (off 1lb lower) and he has seemed stretched by 1m2f; hurdling debut on latest outing did not work out; cheekpieces (worn on penultimate start) return. |

25th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
10st 8lb |
All six wins have been on Polytrack and five have been at Lingfield; lost his way in 2025 but he's shown some encouraging signs in classified events this year, including when third here (1m2f) on his penultimate run; has plenty of form over C&D and he could be dangerous off reduced mark. |
12/1 |
|
5th 8 |
8th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Lost his way in 2025 but he's shown some encouraging signs at Lingfield this year, including when third in a classified event (1m2f) last weekend; can miss the break but he's a Polytrack specialist who has possibilities if this sets up for his closing style. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 6 (6) |
31st Jan 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Thrown in on best form but has been missing the break of late and couldn't land a blow when fourth over C&D last week; chances hinge on getting away on terms. |

24th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 162y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Fair Flat racer who opened hurdling account at fifth attempt, at Plumpton (2m2f, good) last month; not quite in same form when fourth there (2m, good) a fortnight later but still enters calculations. |
6/1 |
|
4th 1 |
19th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Fair 1m2f Flat scorer; progressing really well in this sphere and she cosily got off the mark over 2m2f here two weeks ago; up 3lb but this strong-travelling sort is capable of better still; leading claims. |
100/30 |

5th Apr 2026 Good 2m 1f 169y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Five-time Flat winner at an ordinary level; lightly raced hurdler who ran well for a long way on her handicap debut at Wincanton (1m7f, good to soft) and she'd approve should conditions be drier here. |

Promising when just beaten on his second start for Jane Chapple Hyam at Newmarket (1m2f, good) in July last year, but has regressed in nine starts since joining this yard; yet another headgear combination is now given a go. |

25th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
All of his five AW wins have been at longer trips but he went close over C&D last summer and was runner-up over 1m at Chelmsford last month; on same mark as for that last run and has possibilities if he gets a good pace and some luck; reapplied blinkers replace cheekpieces. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 5 (5) |
21st Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
All five wins have been on AW, including two at this track; bounced back with creditable third at Lingfield (1m) last month and he caught the eye of the stewards when a never-dangerous sixth there (7f) last time; looks interesting on this step back up in trip and he should get a decent pace to aim at. |
8/1 |
|
6th 4 (5) |
10th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Two course wins, at 1m4f and 1m; has raced only once at 7f, over C&D in August (favourite), and although a fast-finishing runner-up, the early stages weren't too encouraging as he was taken off his legs; if sharper in the early stages he'd look interesting. |
