Has lots of Kempton form but she's been out of sorts over C&D in last three runs and her last win was two years ago; opposable. |

9st 8lb |
All of his four turf wins have been on good or slower including heavy; his last win was at Bath (5.6f) last September but he's finished down the field there in his last three runs; now drops back in grade but he needs to rediscover his spark; regular hood is removed. |

Ties in with a couple of today's rivals on C&D reappearance form but ideally needs a return to further; yet to score over a bare 5f; gained his Bath win over the extended 5f. |

5lb lower than when successful at Newcastle (7f, Tapeta) a year ago, but that his only win in his last 22 starts; well beaten on last month's stable debut under Alexander Woodford at Southwell (6f, Tapeta); others preferred. |

Absent since below-par run last June on final start for Ivan Furtado; others arrive with less to prove but this course winner is one to watch in the betting, with his new stable also running the bang-in-form Piperstown. |

20th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Runner-up twice at Chepstow this season (1m, good/good to firm) but is far too inconsistent to rely upon, and his recent efforts have been very disappointing; swaps usual blinkers for refitted cheekpieces. |
33/1 |

9th 10 (1) |
30th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Very hit-and-miss these days and his second of 13 at Chepstow (good to firm) in July hasn't been reproduced in six subsequent starts; 1lb out of the weights and others look a lot safer. |

25th Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 14y Class 2 |

Usually leads and has the option of going up the far side from stall 1; hit-and-miss these days, for a trainer also responsible for Romanovich (a fellow front-runner drawn on the opposite wing) but is capable off a feather weight if tactics decide the day. |

Winless beyond 5f or since her 2yo season, and it's been possible to call her well handicapped for ages; outran her mark again at Salisbury latest, however (6f, good), missing out by under 1l; some appeal. |

29th Apr 2026 Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Eight-time turf winner including three over C&D (good to firm/firm); disappointing effort on his final start last year and he was held in sixth here on his reappearance 12 days ago; may come on for that. |
14/1 |

6th 8 (5) |
17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
8st 6lb |
Eight-time turf winner including three over C&D (good to firm/firm); well handicapped on his best form in 2025 but he's not easy to predict and he ended last season on a low note; market should guide after 169 days off. |

Regressive on the Flat since last autumn and yet to show anything more than minor promise after three hurdling starts this season; open to improvement in handicap hurdles but others here have more pressing claims. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Hardy mare who landed four races on AW (1m to 9.5f) between February and April; also a previous four-time winner on turf but this is just her second crack at 1m2f on her 111th start; still not discounted. |
12/1 |

7th 4 (5) |
6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

9yo who has won four times since February including twice over C&D; held in third when unpenalised at Wolverhampton last time but she wasn't beaten far and that was another creditable effort; should be in the mix again off 3lb higher. |

9st 0lb |
Won off reduced mark at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) in March and has remained in good form since; only faded out of contention in closing stages when fifth over C&D (good to soft; behind Too Much Trevor and Connie's Rose) last week and ought to be better suited by today's faster ground; one to consider. |
9/2 |

5th 11 (4) |
21st May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 16y Class 5 |

Four-time C&D winner, including twice in the month of May; got his head back in front at Wolverhampton (7f) in March; respectable return to turf when third of 11 at Bath (1m good) 17 days ago; can be expected to go well back at Chepstow. |
11/2 |

3rd 3 (3) |
4th May 2026 Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
10st 13lb |
Back to winning ways in a 7f handicap at Wolverhampton in March; not so good back at Wolverhampton last month but 1m on fast ground is no problem and he is still on a fair mark. |
