30th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Just one win from 25 starts but that was over C&D and he ran well to finish fourth of 12 over C&D (good to soft) on his penultimate run; has been a bit up and down in five runs this season but his best form form puts him in the picture. |

His sole win from 24 starts came over Bath's extended 5f last May; has the same mark today and some minor honours this term, but the switch from cheekpieces to today's visor needs to make him step back up a notch. |

23rd Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Course regular who led close home to score over C&D (good) last month; reportedly unsuited by the soft ground when well beaten here 16 days ago; current mark is workable if she's back on song. |
9/1 |
|
8th 6 (8) |
7th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |

Notched a third course win when ending a losing run over C&D 17 days ago (unlucky Vape not far behind in sixth); got messed about a bit herself and has a fair chance of defying a 3lb rise. |

Suffered lots of defeats since last win nearly two years ago, though went down by a short head at Salisbury (6f) two runs ago; she was entitled to run better here last week over the 7f, though. |

9st 9lb |
Seven wins include two at this track over 6f (good to soft/good to firm) but her last success came in October 2024; beat only one rival home on her reappearance here over 6f last month and now drops back in trip on her return to classified company. |

15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |

Mudlark who starts her campaign off a lowly mark; she has a nine-month absence to overcome, however, and that hasn't been the time to catch her in previous seasons. |

14th Sep 2025 Heavy 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |

Effectively 11lb lower than when winning on heavy ground at Windsor (5f) last October but placed on only one of her nine appearances this year and evidently not as good as she was. |

19th Feb 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

She didn't run badly in a 7f 0-50 classified event at Wolverhampton last week and the return to 6f shouldn't inconvenience her; rider good value for his 7lb claim; cheekpieces the headgear of choice this afternoon. |

10th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Losing run is now 16 and slow starts continue to hold him back, even when sent over 6f; a stiff 5f is manageable but he's risky from a win perspective. |
5/2 |
|
3rd 6 (2) |
3rd Sep 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 16y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Has more ability than most with his sort of mark but he isn't easy to win with; this track suits and Laura Coughlan has won on him a couple of times, so he is one to consider, especially given his penultimate effort was promising. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 9 (2) |
26th Aug 2024 Good To Soft 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |

Dual course winner last season (5f/6f) and ran big race in defeat over C&D (good to firm) 11 days ago; pretty versatile regarding ground and ought to be right in the thick of things again. |

14/1 |

12th 2 (11) |
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. |

18th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Long-distance raider; AW winner but 0-11 on turf; far from disgraced when 2.25l sixth of 14 at Windsor last time (6f, good to firm); each-way chance. |
11/2 |

6th 3 (1) |
23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Trainer off the mark in the week with another who was formerly under the charge of Stuart Kittow; this three-time AW winner made it 0-10 on turf when some way off the front three on comeback (won first time out last season); needs a deal more. |
12/1 |

4th 9 (3) |
13th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Winning reappearance on AW in 2025 and there's other evidence that shows he goes well fresh; however, he's 0-9 on turf and is hard to weigh up, having left Stuart Kittow since some so-so runs in the autumn. |

Dropped right out on his sole course run, in May, but comes into it on his best turf form and also some AW handicap runs over the winter; capable of a big run at this easier level. |

7th 8 (7) |
13th Jun 2024 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Now 15lb lower than when winning at Chelmsford last November; that is indicative of a decline in his form though and the return to turf didn't help matters at Bath three weeks ago. |

8st 5lb |
Won Kempton classified (7f, Polytrack) in March and, after five unplaced runs, he returned to form with convincing handicap win at 20-1 at Newcastle (6f, Tapeta) last week; bang there if backing up that latest effort. |
9/2 |

1st 9 (5) |
26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Won a classified race at Kempton (7f, Polytrack) in March but he hasn't come up to scratch on his five starts since and needs to raise his game. |
16/1 |
|
5th 8 (3) |
2nd Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Serial slow-starter who has won seven times over 6f/7f on the AW; held in handicaps lately, but the return to this level offers hope and he's capable of playing a part if things pan out his way. |
