3rd Jul 2024 Good 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
All-the-way win at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm) in May in his third handicap but flopped at Thirsk 18 days later and the jockey reported that he hung right-handed throughout; that run has to introduce a note of caution. |
100/30 |

7th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 4f 8y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Improved his record to 2-6 when justifying favouritism with an all-the-way win at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm; hood removed) 18 days ago; hit a personal best on that switch to fast ground and he remains feasibly treated after a 3lb rise; big player again for in-form yard. |

7th Aug 2025 Good 1m 3f 198y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Won this 12 months ago and returns on a hat-trick after another course win (made all) and a success at Salisbury that looked unlikely until he picked up late on; might travel sweeter back at this track and can cope with this mark. |

12th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 4f 5y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Returned from three-month break with front-running win at Brighton (1m4f, good) in May and will be fine on the faster surface here but he's probably not quite as good as he was; younger rivals appeal more. |

30th May 2025 Good To Soft 1m 3f 198y Class 5 |

Ordinary form on the AW during the winter but he is 5lb lower than when winning over C&D (good to firm) last August; off since February but he's respected back here on this return. |

Fairly useful at up to 1m4f on the Flat, winning two of his 16 races, but he makes this hurdling debut following two poor shows on Flat in August; wore cheekpieces latest and bled from the nose. |

Doesn't win too often on the Flat these days but he has been placed on his last two starts, chasing home Seraphic at Chelmsford four weeks ago (1m2f); each-way claims again. |

Prolific winning hurdler who opened AW account with clear win in amateur riders' race at Chelmsford in June; returned to the Flat with two below-par runs at Kempton this month, though, and has only dropped 1lb. |

12th Sep 2025 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Veteran who showed a fire still burned when winning a six-runner handicap at Lingfield (1m2f, good to soft) in June; third to Beach Point over C&D next time but his form has dipped on his last two starts; rain will help but vulnerable to less-exposed sorts. |

29th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Won five times over hurdles (once over C&D) and three times on the Flat last year; quite versatile regarding ground but has been safely held on both starts this summer (hurdle/Flat) and current mark probably demands a personal-best. |
20/1 |

8th 3 (1) |
2nd Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Progressive form under both codes last year included a 1m4f course win; quiet return to jumping at Cartmel two weeks ago but that was after a lengthy break and he's on better Flat mark than he is over hurdles. |
4/1 |
|
8th 2 |
18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
Progressive on the Flat and over hurdles last year, collecting eight wins (one over C&D) in total; absent since respectable fifth in Scottish County Hurdle at Musselburgh (1m7f, good to soft) in January, though, and current mark demands another personal best. |

On a losing run but he's proving consistent this season and posted a solid third of six in 1m2f handicap here two weeks ago; this course winner ought to be thereabouts once more. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 2 (1) |
10th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Consistent 6yo who was placed at Newbury (1m2f, good to firm) last month and remains 1lb lower than when scoring over C&D (good to firm) just over a year ago; ought to be right in the thick of things. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 1 (9) |
23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |

Consistent 6yo who was beaten under 1l when fourth of eight at Chester (extended 1m4f, good) 12 days ago and will be fine over this shorter trip; likely to be on the premises again. |

30th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 17y Class 5 |

Best known as a Brighton specialist but also runs this track well; needs to rebound from disappointing C&D run four weeks ago but looked in good nick when scoring at Brighton (1m2f, good to firm) in June; shortlisted. |
3/1 |
|
7th 1 (8) |
1st Jul 2026 Good 1m 2f 17y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
Five-time winner who has been placed in half of his six visits here, including when third in this race in 2024; carries a 5lb penalty for winning at Brighton (1m2f, good to firm) ten days ago but Toby Moore's 7lb claim will aid his bid to go back-to-back; considered. |

18th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Veteran who's had ten wins overall and has a 3-22 record at Windsor, which also includes five seconds; he's not sparked this season but the best of those performances was a C&D third on reappearance and he's now 8lb lower, racing off a career-low mark. |

1st Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 137y Class 6 |

10yo who is a ten-time winner, but he's not posed a threat in four runs this season and was beaten 8l at Ffos Las (1m4f, good) last time; mark continues to fall but he needs to rediscover his spark. |

28th Aug 2026 Good 2m 5f 164y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Took form to new level when scoring by 10l over C&D (good to soft) in March but his two hurdle runs in May were disappointing and, following a wind op, he was soundly beaten on the Flat 12 days ago; has a point to prove. |

50-1 winner of this race last year off 4lb lower; following 228 days off; 10l winner over hurdles this March, followed by two modest shows in May; had wind operation (his second) in July and needs a second look. |

Four-time hurdle winner and career-best form to win by 10l at Fontwell two runs ago (2m5f, good to soft); went up 8lb for that and was back down to earth on his return visit when beaten 20l; hard to know entirely what to expect from him. |

10st 1lb |
Five Flat wins in 2024, culminating in this race (1lb lower today); well suited by ploughing through the mud and best result this term came on soft, when runner-up at Yarmouth (1m6f) in July; ran respectably here on good to soft last time and a bold show seems likely if he's in the mud today. |

20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 5f 61y Class 2 |

Five wins in a tremendously progressive 2024; well suited by ploughing through the mud and his best result this term came on soft ground, when runner-up at Yarmouth (1m6f) in July; respectable fourth in a Racing League event over 2m on Southwell's AW latest; feasibly handicapped and would enter the reckoning if the ground remains on the soft side. |

Five wins in a tremendously progressive 2024 on Flat; well suited by ploughing through the mud and his best result this term came on soft ground, when runner-up on penultimate start; beaten 20l when last on his sole AW start in 2023 and others have more compelling claims. |
