19th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 133y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Made a winning stable debut at Goodwood (1m4f, good to soft) last June but she's now 12lb lower following some lesser efforts; better is needed but any rain will suit. |

Made successful stable debut/reappearance at Goodwood (1m4f, good to soft) in June last year, but now 9lb lower for a reason; others stronger. |

15th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won this off 4lb lower last year (good) not long after a success over hurdles; lightly raced since, with a novice hurdle win in November before well beaten on handicap hurdle debut in December; major player if he's in the same form as 12 months ago and he has run well after a similar break before. |

23rd Oct 2025 Good To Firm 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Needn't make all to win but did for April's Chepstow maiden hurdle success (2m, good); refused to settle there and same trait ruined his finishing effort when last seen back on the Flat in June; likely needs to get all the basics right conceding weight all round this time. |

22nd Oct 2024 Soft 1m 2f 23y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Four-time AW scorer who has proved consistent, including on grass, since most recent success (in May); went close off this mark at Chester (good) on last turf attempt; in the mix. |
7/2 |

3rd 5 (5) |
3rd Oct 2024 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Won twice over 1m2f on Polytrack in the spring and has continued to run well, most recently runner-up at Kempton (1m3f, Polytrack); that surface may suit better than Tapeta but he's not discounted here. |
3/1 |

2nd Sep 2025 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
All five wins have been on the AW, the latest over 9.5f here in March last year; placed in a seller (9.5f) and a handicap (1m4f) here in April; poor run back on turf after a break last time; blinkers replace visor. |

7th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
On lengthy losing run but he's been placed at Wolverhampton (9.4f/1m4f) in last two starts and three of his five wins have come over C&D; has each-way claims again back at this track. |
9/2 |

21st Apr 2025 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Handy sort; has done most of his winning at Chelmsford, but he does act here (244232172); hasn't had many goes over this far, but finished second of 11 in his only previous attempt over C&D; interesting back up in trip at this level. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 198y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Three wins here (1m, good to firm), most recently in October, immediately raise interest and he stuck at it when third over 1m2f on his final start of last term; quiet reappearance in February probably best ignored and he's worth another go at this trip (tried once two years ago); respected. |
100/30 |

12th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Four-time turf winner including three at Brighton; placed in both starts on Polytrack (7f/1m2f) and the biggest question is how ready he will be after 79 days off. |
14/1 |

2 (7) |
16th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 5 |

Two C&D wins in 2024, the second off current mark; behind two of today's rivals here most recently but good chance if back to best. |

4th Mar 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Two creditable shows in midwinter, including over C&D, but his sole win was back in 2023 and he ran no sort of race on this track in January; needs to shrug that off. |

8th 9 (4) |

It's now 19 outings since his last victory but he wasn't discredited when fourth of ten in 1m Southwell handicap 11 days ago; possibilities. |
