20th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 5f 110y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Won over C&D (good to soft) last July but he's lost his way and has been out of sorts this season; now 17lb lower than for that last win but the veteran has a lot to prove. |

9st 2lb |
Four-time course winner who has tumbled down the weights and runs here for the first time this season; however, this 11yo has been struggling this year and a major turnaround is required. |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
A solid run when fourth in this race (good) last year but he struggled subsequently, with slow starts also becoming a feature; handicapped to be competitive if a 174-day break has freshened him up. |

18th Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Overall record of 1-14 but he finished runner-up five times last season and is well treated on the pick of that form; returned after wind surgery with an encouraging fourth at Doncaster (6f, good) in June but he was disappointing at Thirsk last month and needs to bounce back after that; cheekpieces removed. |

30th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Arrives in great form, having won three of his four turf starts this season, two of those here over 7f and the latest over C&D; up another 4lb but looked like he had a bit more up his sleeve last time; big player. |
9/4 |
|
1st 5 (2) |
21st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Thrives here - form figures 72111 - twice accounting for Vince Le Prince over 7f last month; weakened at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) 19 days ago, but this track is a much better fit, and he's unlikely to be hindered by rain; still fairly treated off 67 based on historic form. |

17th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Has nine career wins, the most recent at Lingfield (7f, AW) in February off 2lb lower; should be better for his fourth of eight at Lingfield (6f, soft) last month and has won off 8lb higher when in his prime; not out of this. |
10/1 |

4th 5 (2) |
6th Jun 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Failed to back up the form of his February win last time, kept to 7f on AW; multiple sprint winner on turf and made the frame in last four attempts in this sphere; solid. |
7/1 |

7th 4 (1) |
9th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 4 |

Had been banging at the door prior to his 7f win at Lingfileld last month; a 4lb rise for that win demands more but he has had few chances in this headgear. |

11th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Stable yet to get rolling for the year but he was a bright spot when springing a surprise over C&D off 3lb lower in February; not entirely convinced over 7f a couple of times since and holds each-way claims. |
10/1 |
|
4th 7 (6) |
11th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
6f winner here on his penultimate start and he didn't fail through a lack of stamina when third at Chelmsford 13 days ago; he was well positioned in a race where nothing challenged from the rear there though and others appeal more for win purposes. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 6 (3) |
26th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Strong at the finish when winning a 6f handicap at Southwell two weeks ago; the subsequent 4lb rise looks less of a concern than the additional furlong. |

4th Sep 2024 Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Gives her all and wasn't beaten far when fourth to Rock Melody over C&D (soft) in August; should be thereabouts again, although she holds no secrets from the handicapper and others appeal more for win purposes. |
6/1 |

4th 4 (10) |
13th Aug 2024 Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Very consistent in defeat earlier in the season (on ground ranging from good through to heavy) and she was beaten just over 1l when fourth of six over C&D (good to soft) last time; has won three times over C&D and every chance she'll be in the mix; the blinkers adopted last time are left off. |

15th Jun 2024 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Regressive 8yo who is yet to add to his Listed AW success in February 2021; did nothing wrong when second under Sam Feilden at Carlisle (6f, good to firm) last month but the forecast rain is unlikely to aid his cause here; younger rivals are preferred. |
9/1 |

2nd 2 (10) |
20th May 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 182y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Well treated on AW form and soft ground was a possible excuse returned to turf last time; has the ability to win this race but he's on a very long losing run. |

10th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 110y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Took advantage of a lowly mark at Southwell in December and he has flourished since, adding two more AW wins over the winter and going in again at Salisbury (6f, soft) last month; second in two fast-ground handicaps since; should remain competitive but this test will be sharp enough. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 6 (6) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Gained his third success of the season when winning at Salisbury (6f, soft) last month and he was a good second of ten at Windsor (6f, good to firm) six days ago; steps back up to 7f with solid claims. |
11/8 |
|
2nd 8 (3) |
27th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Gained a third win of the season in 6f Salisbury handicap 18 days ago, just holding on; this reliable sort can make his presence felt again nudged up 2lb. |

24th Oct 2024 Heavy 0m 5f 8y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
4-29 on turf and although he hasn't won on genuine soft ground he again showed he acts on it when second at Bath (5.7f) latest; each-way player. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 4 (5) |
21st Oct 2024 Heavy 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Has patchy record but he won on fast ground at Windsor (5f) in July and was beaten less than 2l on soft at Redcar (fourth of 11) last time; seems tactically versatile and he's not ruled out on this drop back on grade. |
13/2 |
|
7 (10) |
5th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Dropped away in the final furlong in the race won Our Absent Friends at Ripon last week; Paul Mulrennan is a good booking (close fourth on him at Newmarket 11 months ago) but others appeal more. |
