30th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Has not run badly in two starts back from around 18 months off but has never been quite this far before; goes in first-time cheekpieces (worn a hood twice before) back from ten weeks off. |

7th 7 (1) |
20th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
C&D winner; made good progress in 2024 and he made a satisfactory return from a lengthy absence at Southwell three weeks ago; dropped 2lb and could take a step forward this time. |

5th 1 (6) |
28th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Triple AW winner who was placed off 3lb higher at Chelmsford (1m, Polytrack) in October 2024 but he's been on the sidelines since; bit to prove after a long absence but he was progressive during his last campaign and he needs checking in market. |

20th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Three wins over 7f/1m on turf/AW last year; endured a wide trip when fifth of ten on her return from 253 days off at Chelmsford (1m, AW) last month, but she remains 6lb above her last winning mark. |
14/1 |

14th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Won three times last year including twice at this track (7f/1m); returns after 253 days off but this reliable mare still looks on a workable mark and she has won when fresh; dangerous with Jim Crowley booked. |

7th May 2026 Good 1m 5f 84y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Versatile and consistent handicapper who landed the 2025 Cesarewitch (2m2f) in most recent turf attempt and has been placed in all AW starts (1m2f-2m) this year; however, faces a very difficult task at the weights upped in class. |

9th Sep 2024 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
All five wins on the AW and not a lot wrong with his recent efforts at Kempton and Southwell, the latest a 7f Racing League Handicap; stays this far and can again make presence felt. |
5/1 |
|
5th 8 (1) |
29th Aug 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Behind a couple of these over C&D last month but he signalled he was ready to strike when second at Kempton two weeks ago, coming from well back having been dropped in from a wide stall; 3lb rise shouldn't prevent a bold showing. |

5th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 7f 219y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Won two in a row at Pontefract (1m, good to firm) in August but he's been well held in last two runs including when last of five at Newmarket (1m, soft) last week; has quite a bit to prove again and others are preferred. |
9/1 |

5th 6 (12) |
27th Sep 2024 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Consistent turf form this year includes two wins at Pontefract (1m, good to firm) in August; better than bare result (hampered) last time; however, faces a stiffer assignment back up in grade. |
14/1 |
|
8th 1 (8) |
31st Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Two Pontefract wins this month and he turned in another solid effort when third at Redcar last week; effective over C&D and should make another bold bid. |

27th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Should be making a big impact at this level and he is 1lb lower than for his Southwell win (7f) in November; still to convince he wants this far though. |
8/1 |

10th 17 (11) |
24th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Good record here with three wins including a division of this (soft; acts on good/good to firm) in 2024; cashed in on reduced mark to open AW account over 7f in November and just 1lb higher on this return to turf after three months away; possibilities. |
12/1 |

5th 6 (1) |
20th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
10st 12lb |
Opened his AW account in C&D event in November; switch to front-running didn't quite pay dividends here last time but he still ran respectably; remains of interest in this scenario. |

9th May 2025 Good 2m 0f 53y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Made a bright start over hurdles and it was his stable debut when making all for a narrow success at Wincanton (1m7f, good) in March; those tactics could only bring an 11l-second at Taunton (about 2m, good to firm) nine days later but he impressed with some good leaps on the way round and the winner is promising; now makes handicap debut and this track should suit. |

Inferior to Vaguely Royal on the Flat but has made a bright start over hurdles and it was his stable debut when making all for a narrow success at Wincanton (1m7f, good); looks to have more on his plate under a penalty but still respected. |
