12th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 137y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Exposed multiple winner who could improve for having a recent run here under his belt, with that his first appearance in three months; handicapped to win again. |
3/1 |
|
3rd 1 (3) |
27th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has a better strike-rate on AW than on turf and returns to this sphere with a doubt over his current form; however, may prove resurgent off current mark dropped in class. |
8/1 |

8th 6 (3) |
29th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Record of 6-17 at the track stacks up well (2-27 elsewhere) and he has dropped to a dangerous mark; hasn't looked to be in the form required to capitalise though. |

2nd May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Recorded his tenth win when scoring at Wolverhampton (2m, Tapeta) in January; held his form with creditable efforts in next three starts but his good spell came to a halt at Lingfield last month; has bit to prove again after that heavy defeat and his last turf win was in 2022. |
10/1 |
|
13th 10 (11) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Three course wins have come over 1m4f, but he has won over this sort of trip elsewhere; finished half a length behind St Faz when third of four at Southwell (1m6f, Tapeta) and now 11lb better off; each-way claims. |
18/1 |
|
3rd 1 (3) |
26th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Multiple winner who arrives in form, his success at Wolverhampton (Tapeta) in January followed by solid third at Kempton (also about 2m, Polytrack) a fortnight later; ran well for second over extended 2m2f here three weeks ago and just as effective over this shorter trip; warrants respect. |

3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
8st 10lb |
C&D winner who defied a ten-month absence when making a successful stable debut at Kempton (1m3f, Polytrack) in January, but a rise in the weights seems to have found him out twice since. |
16/1 |
|
7th 8 (12) |
4th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Dropped a long way in the weights during a winless spell with Mick Appleby and returned from a ten-month absence to make a winning start for new connections over C&D in January; had a bit up his sleeve that day and a subsequent defeat over 1m4f probably shouldn't be taken as evidence the handicapper has him as he was still in front entering the final furlong; player back at 1m3f. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Flat/hurdles winner; ran encouragingly on his return to chasing but has failed to back up that effort in two starts since, taking record in this sphere to 0-8; admittedly well treated on best form. |
10/1 |
|
5th 1 |
23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 107y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Posted best effort for these connections when third at Sedgefield in April (2m5f, good), before appearing to find it harder work last time; mixed record over stayers' trips, and would appreciate the ground drying out. |
10/1 |
|
5th 2 |
8th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Both hurdles wins (one at today's trip) came on sound surfaces last year, and April's staying-on Sedgefield chase third (2m5f, good) is his best effort to date for current connections; coming to the boil again. |

1st Jul 2024 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
10st 4lb |
took keen hold, led but pestered, increased tempo 3f out, headed inside final furlong, soon lost second and no extra |
6/4 |
|
1st 2 (6) |
27th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who won two in a row last winter (1m4f/1m3f, AW) and returned to form when going close in first-time blinkers (retained) at Windsor (1m, good to firm) recently; able to run off 2lb lower today (due to be 6lb higher in future) and can be bang there if confirming that latest promise. |
2/1 |
|
2nd 3 (4) |
17th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
AW wins in the winter came over middle distances and he's been expensive to follow since handicapping; has still to prove he's as good on turf and it could well be all or nothing coming right back in distance in first-time headgear. |

27th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Kickstarted 2026 with success at Wolverhampton (9.5f) in March and backed it up with a good third of 12 in another 9.5f handicap there since; this C&D scorer can go well again off the same mark. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 4 (12) |
20th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
His first seven wins were all gained over 1m4f/1m3f, with the latest of those last October, but he then made all under Olivia Tubb in a six-runner race over C&D 13 days ago; that win was by a neck and he's been raised 2lb since, but a wide draw complicates today's task. |
12/1 |
|
1st 5 (3) |
7th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Has gained all wins over 1m3f/1m4f, including at Southwell (narrowly) in October when last seen; the 8yo is still competitively treated on historical data but has something to prove back down in trip. |

9th Jan 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
2023 novice winner; 0-10 since, pipped over C&D in November but beating only one home in 1m4f Southwell handicap 20 days ago; needs to bounce back and, having worn cheekpieces on those last two starts, he now sports a visor. |

Consistent sort who has been knocking on the door recently, latest when second of nine at Lingfield (1m2f; 9-2) last month when beaten a head in first-time cheekpieces (retained); steps back up in trip and holds claims. |
