5th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
His three wins have come over 6f but he's hinted when running well over that trip this summer that this return to 7f is worth exploring; versatile ground-wise and could be in with a chance. |

14th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
C&D winner last year; promising efforts over C&D and at Yarmouth (both on soft) last month but he found things happening too quickly on good to firm ground over C&D on Monday; blinkers now replaced by a new visor. |
16/1 |

9th 12 (2) |
11th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
Form off current mark, all in Class 4, features a success over C&D in 2024 and placed efforts the last twice; steps up two grades but Oliver Carmichael takes off a handy 7lb; could go well. |

22nd Aug 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Few chances on AW but he ran well over C&D in November off 3lb higher; returned to winning ways in a Racing League handicap at Chepstow two weeks ago (6f, good to soft); respected despite a 4lb rise and his draw in stall 1. |
10/1 |

8th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |

He's had a mixed campaign but has shown spark on occasions and was stretched by 7f last time; now below last winning mark and he's not ruled out. |
7/1 |
|
12th 3 (13) |
12th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Much better known as a sprinter but has form over 7f; now 3lb lower than when placed at Goodwood (6f, heavy) in May and his more recent efforts were perfectly respectable; back up in trip with William Buick up; a possible. |

30th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Veteran who popped up at Newbury (6f, good to soft) in June; hasn't matched that in four runs since but is back down to that winning mark; still needs to turn the ship around. |
16/1 |
|
8th 11 (9) |
8th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Veteran who popped up in a Class 5 at Newbury in June (6f, good to soft); hasn't matched that in three runs since and although he's often run well here, he's yet to win at the track; minor money perhaps his best hope. |
16/1 |
|
4th 1 (2) |
25th Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 3y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Understandably not the force of old now a 10yo but he registered the ninth win of his long career when beating ten rivals at Newbury (6f, good to firm) in June; held in a couple of Class 4 events since but he's won here in the past and is not ruled out on this drop back in grade. |

20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Veteran who showed his best form for a while when winning at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) in February; below his best on turf at Goodwood 19 days ago but cannot be overlooked back on AW. |
12/1 |

8th 6 (9) |
1st May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |

Kickstarted 2026 with all-the-way 6f Wolverhampton win in February; up 2lb but this veteran C&D winner can't be discounted after a break. |
6/1 |

1st 3 (7) |
3rd Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |

Four wins in 2025, including over C&D and off this mark; made a pleasing return from 142 days off when fourth over C&D five weeks ago; can take a step forward today. |

1st Jun 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
Favourite for this race last year but his was one of the stalls to open late and his chance was compromised as a result; solid effort at Doncaster two weeks ago and rider's claim will help offset being 3lb out of the weights; effective on most ground and likely to go well. |
10/1 |

1st Jul 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Campaigned mostly over 6f and on turf; not particularly solid on his form this season for new stable; enough to prove back at 7f for the first time since 2020. |
16/1 |

10th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Has gained most wins at Windsor; made the frame there last time (second run for new yard) but was beaten 6l and needs to raise his game; losing run is mounting up. |

26th May 2025 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 3 |
8st 9lb |
Solid sprint handicapper for the Channons over the years but only occasional flashes of his old self in 2024; has dropped down the weights but he reappeared for new yard with tailed-off effort at Ascot 16 days ago and can only be watched after that. |

21st May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Two wins at 7f on AW and he went close on that surface at Wolverhampton (7f) in March; below that form on last two starts and has something to prove back at 6f on this forecast easy turf; blinkers go on. |
8/1 |

6th 7 (4) |
27th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |

Regressive gelding who's often been inclined to pull hard since returning from a year off; winless since his 3yo days and there are safer options. |

3rd Jul 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Versatile trip-wise; C&D winner; put a couple of low-key runs behind her when a front-running second at Chester three weeks ago (7.6f, good); 1lb higher but her apprentice takes off a valuable 7lb; one to consider. |
8/1 |

13th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 127y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
On a losing run and she came in a below-form seventh of ten in 6f Windsor handicap 18 days ago; others appeal more. |
