23rd Mar 2024 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
ducked left start, held up in last, smooth headway over 2f out, going easily but waiting for room against near rail over 1f out, soon switched left, pushed along and squeezed through to lead inside final furlong, readily |
6/4 |

1st 2 (2) |
12th Mar 2024 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Five-time course winner, three of them over tonight's trip, latterly off 2lb lower last month; hit traffic in a messy affair at Wolverhampton latest and, while a bigger field would have been ideal (is usually dropped in and can pull), he's shortlisted. |

1st May 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
1m3f wins here and at Windsor (good) last autumn came racing prominently; unfailingly consistent back over further under mostly rather more patient tactics since, and interesting to see how he's played tonight. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Four-time turf winner who last scored at Brighton (1m4f, good to firm; has won at this trip) two years ago; went close on two occasions at 1m3f (visored) during latest AW campaign but his latest effort when last of ten at Southwell (1m4f; raced freely) wasn't an ideal springboard for this switch back to grass; blinkers (has won in them before) go back on. |
8/1 |
|
10th 10 (9) |
28th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Just 1-30 on the AW, but the win came over C&D and he was only beaten a head by Jack Andrea here (1m3f) last month; 5lb pull makes him a player even though his losing run is mounting up. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 2 (9) |
28th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Only 1-29 on AW but gained the win at Southwell (in 2022) and is currently in a consistent vein of form, mainly here and most recently at Chelmsford; frame possibilities. |

12th Jun 2024 Good To Soft 1m 3f 104y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Both wins were over 1m4f on Wolverhampton AW, the latest in January; close third of seven over C&D (good) on latest start, which was only her third run on turf; remote when out of her depth on heavy, her only run on softer than good; place chance (like most of these) if the ground is okay. |
10/1 |

3rd 1 (5) |
4th May 2024 Good To Firm 1m 3f 104y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Recorded her second AW win when scoring at Wolverhampton (1m4f, Tapeta) in January but she was only fourth of six at Newcastle last time and was beaten 4l; bit to prove again after that and she's struggled in both previous runs on turf. |

21st May 2026 Soft 2m 0f 45y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
9yo who went 0-11 last year and was soundly beaten on last month's reappearance at Catterick; however, he may have needed that latest run and is on a competitive mark judged on last season's placed form. |
9/1 |
|
7th 6 (7) |
8th Apr 2026 Good 1m 4f 13y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Course winner who is on a competitive mark on last season's efforts, which came over 1m5f-2m1f; however, this 9yo went 0-11 last term and today's reappearance trip may prove to be inadequate. |

10th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 5f 218y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
More than a year since he ran well on the Flat and the switch to blinkers didn't help last time (returns to the usual cheekpieces today); would be a surprise winner upped from 1m2f. |
25/1 |
|
8th 7 (3) |
30th Jul 2024 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
10st 4lb |
On a lengthy losing sequence and he failed to beat a rival in 1m4f handicap at Leicester last month; blinkers replace the usual cheekpieces here with plenty to prove. |
25/1 |
