10yo who has been beaten 19 times since his last win in September 2024 but he's been runner-up a few times this year (including here) and was third at Hamilton (1m, soft) last time; has a career-low mark; each-way chance. |

26th Aug 2024 Good To Soft 1m 0f 14y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Often leads but it's not essential; has had a good slice of the pie in 2024, winning five times since cheekpieces fitted, three over C&D (good to soft and good to firm); up 4lb for the latest one 11 days ago but is still improving. |

took keen hold, made all, clear over 3f out, ridden when reduced lead inside final furlong, kept on |
11/4 |

2nd 5 (2) |
19th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 0m 7f 212y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Much-improved filly since cheekpieces were added last month, winning four in a row (all 1m) before losing out only by a short head at Chepstow (1m, good to soft) a week ago; another 3lb higher here but the likely quicker ground won't be a problem and she might still be on the upgrade. |

16th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Completed a hat-trick of wins in this race a year ago (good to firm; 2lb lower mark); not in such good form this season and probably best watched for now. |
12/1 |
|
9th 6 (8) |
24th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Ran up a four-timer around this time last year, including two course wins, latterly off a 3lb lower mark; back in form last time and has a fair chance of making it 4-8 round here. |

17th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Recorded his 12th AW win when scoring at Wolverhampton (8.6f) last month but he flopped under a penalty there eight days later; has bit to prove again after that heavy defeat but he has won three of his last seven starts and is capable of bouncing back. |
10/1 |
|
10 (2) |
22nd Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Beat a serial loser of late over C&D three weeks ago, taking Hector Crouch's record on him to 2-2; 4lb rise is of no great concern considering he's been rated much higher in the past; handy draw. |
5/1 |
|
1st 1 (6) |
1st Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Nine of his 12 wins have been on AW, the latest from 5lb higher at Chelmsford (1m, Polytrack) in March; not beaten far into fourth of 13 at Brighton (1m, soft) last month and he has to be of interest in this field. |

22nd Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
C&D win number three came off 3lb higher in January; hasn't threatened in four runs since, including in this headgear combination last time; has no great record fresh. |
10/1 |
|
1 (5) |
18th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 212y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Handles most ground but his two turf wins have on soft and good to soft; last success was off 1lb higher on Polytrack in January but he's been out of sorts since then and was never involved at Doncaster three weeks ago; cheekpieces are now added and he needs to get back on track. |
14/1 |
|
7th 6 (8) |
28th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Finished out the back on AW return but may have needed that run and the form is there to feature off this mark. |

15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 173y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Popped up at Southwell (1m) off a 2lb higher mark in January; the odd good run since but he needs to bounce back from a lacklustre AW run last month. |
14/1 |
|
10th 8 (4) |
7th May 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Gained his fourth win at his track when coming from off the pace to win by a neck here in January; kept on into fifth behind Avatar Jet over C&D 12 days ago and has each-way claims if this is run to suit. |
16/1 |
|
5th 6 (6) |
25th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Four-time course winner, all in the winter months, latterly off this mark in January; usually misses the break and again hung left when behind Marry The Night over C&D last time; a stronger pace would help for last year's winning yard. |

29th Aug 2024 Good To Soft 1m 1f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Course winner in June and she comes here in good form, a close fifth in 1m1f Hamilton handicap six days ago; she's one for the shortlist. |
8/1 |
|
5th 5 (2) |
23rd Aug 2024 Soft 1m 1f 35y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Six-time winner who is suited by good or slower ground; has mixed record this season but she won at Carlisle (1m, soft) in June and went very close at Chester (10.3f, good) last time; on same mark as for that last run and she's a big player if she can repeat the form. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 8 (9) |
4th Aug 2024 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Won over C&D on good ground in 2021 and came from off the pace to end long losing streak at Carlisle (1m, soft; first-time blinkers) in June but her form has dipped since that latest success and others in this field have more persuasive profiles. |
