7th Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Proven winner who had lost his way but got back on track with a near miss at Worcester (2m, good) 20 days ago; just 2lb higher but the new blinkers (replacing cheekpieces) cast some doubts. |

2nd 7 |
17th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Won handicaps at Fontwell (2m1f, good to soft) and Uttoxeter (2m, good) last autumn but he's been back in the doldrums since; now 3lb lower than for his last success but he needs a major revival. |

Inconsistent but has frame possibilities provided latest effort (ran creditably) is backed up; one of only two runners who already have winning form over fences. |

5th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

No better for cheekpieces or this headgear combination in his last three races and he's now 0-15; unconvincing. |

14th Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 122y Class 5 |

Is 0-14 and he underwent a breathing operation before coming in only tenth of 12 in 2m4f Wincanton handicap 22 days ago; visor is reached for now. |

10st 9lb |
0-11 over hurdles and absent since pulled up in first-time cheekpieces at Newton Abbot (2m2f, good) last summer; needs subsequent wind op to have made a big difference. |

15th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 50y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Gave good account when close fourth over C&D (good; also suited by soft) in November but was below that form at Taunton last month and is now 0-16 over hurdles; 1lb wrong; others preferred. |

18th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Made the frame twice (2m, soft/good) in spring 2024; now returns from a lengthy absence but he'll have possibilities if ready to roll. |

19th Jul 2026 Good 2m 2f 110y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Hard to win with but he's on a competitive mark if new trainer Nick Scholfield can get him back on track; market helpful. |
11/2 |
|
5th 9 |
17th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
His last win was over two years ago but he's well treated on old form and was only beaten 3l at Stratford (2m, good to firm) last month; has each-way claims if he can back that up and he won't mind what the weather does. |
11/2 |

17th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Returned to form with creditable second at Taunton (2m, good) last month, his third start for David Brace, but was pulled up on recent chasing debut and has become hard to predict. |

7th 5 (2) |
16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
8yo who went 21 months without a win but has now scored at Windsor, Lingfield, Chepstow and Ripon in his four races this turf season; his second in this race last year was a remote one and the 6lb rise since his latest start asks a question, but conditions fine and he's on a major roll, ridden by Sarah Bowen on last two starts (two in four days); major player. |
3/1 |
|
1st 1 (4) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 10y Class 6 |
10st 13lb |
Completed the hat-trick at Chepstow (1m2f, good to soft) on Monday; carries a 4lb penalty for that and stays 1m4f fine, so likely to have a major role to play again under Sarah Bowen, if electing to stand his ground. |
5/2 |
|
1st 1 (10) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
11st 2lb |
Frequent slow starter who's enjoyed a revival since returned to turf, minus the tongue-tie and headgear; looked to have a bit more in hand than the final margin at Lingfield (1m2f, good to firm) off 3lb lower last time and holds obvious claims. |

30th Aug 2024 Good 2m 1f 162y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Fell in his first two handicaps but got off the mark with clearcut success in first-time blinkers at Uttoxeter (2m, soft) last month; might not be ideally suited by the forecast faster ground here but may still have potential; tongue-tie fitted for first time. |
