8th May 2026 Good 2m 2f 140y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
His only appearance at Chester was a successful one in eight-runner handicap last August (2m, good to firm) off 3lb lower than today, in a manner that was encouraging for this test; absent since a lesser show in September but scored in 2024 after a 113-day layoff and needs a close look. |

27th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Game winner of a 2m fast-ground Chester handicap before finishing fourth of five runners back over hurdles; only 3lb higher than for that recent win and goes on any ground. |

Had four runs over hurdles, winning in maiden/novice company (good to soft; soft) and close up in one of his two handicaps; returns to this scene after taking a Class 4 Flat handicap over 2m at Chester ten days ago; major player. |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
C&D winner in January 2024 and several fair efforts after that; ran his best race since a 590-day break when a good fourth at Catterick last time; each-way chance. |
7/1 |

11th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 13y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Well treated on his 2024 exploits and, having returned from a long absence in February, it's possible he's working his way back into form; however, this 8yo is not easy to fancy on the evidence of this year's two runs. |
33/1 |

12th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 5 |

Pulled hard when finishing last in a 0-55 handicap over C&D recently, his first start in around 18 months; entitled to improve but is very hard to recommend. |

Proving expensive to follow but continues to run well now and again and can't be left out of calculations even though down the field here yesterday. |

22nd Nov 2024 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 6 |

Has never attempted this far on the AW before, but he has run well over similar trips on turf; losing run of 31 is a concern, though. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 39y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Tailed off over hurdles last time but ran well in that code in March; he's on a handy mark on last year's best Flat form; not ruled out. |

17th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Sole success in 17 runs over hurdles came at Perth last summer (2m, good); he's consistent but not progressive and was a well-held fifth in this last year off the very same mark. |

Sole win over hurdles, from 16 attempts, came at Perth (2m, good) last July; ran okay over C&D in January on his last two hurdle starts (good to soft) and is not ruled out each-way. |

4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 16y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
11yo who was a close third over 1m1f at Ayr two starts ago and is versatile trip-wise; however, Ayr brings out the best in him and he was well beaten at Musselburgh last time; 0-4 here, with last visit coming last June. |
25/1 |

21st May 2026 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Veteran who has won at this track but who is better known for his exploits at Ayr; solid third at that track 16 days ago (1m1f, good to firm); shouldn't be far away if backing it up. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 7 (3) |
5th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 20y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Veteran who has won 11 times here, including three last year (1m2f/1m5f); on a good mark and should come on for his run at Musselburgh last week; contender. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
All 13 wins have come elsewhere but he does have course form and he did so well when going close at Ayr (1m1f, good to firm) last week; however, he's now 6lb higher than his September win which might be a step too far. |
9/2 |

2nd 9 (6) |
20th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 20y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Rounded off last season with a game win here (1m Class 5, good to soft; from 4lb lower), that his 13th win; struggled in a competitive Sunday Series Handicap at Musselburgh 24 days ago, and it might be a similar story here; stablemate of Pearl Eye and Motawaared. |
40/1 |

26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
11yo who was as good as ever last season, winning three times, including at Ayr in September when last season; this two-time course winner is not ruled out on his return but there's a suspicion he'll improve for the run. |

11st 4lb |
1m2f AW and 1m4f turf Flat winner (RPR 96); well below his best in that code for some time; well beaten on sole hurdles start in 2022; plenty to prove. |

9st 0lb |
Yard has won two of the last three runnings and his mark continues to fall; however, he struggled last year and was tailed off on last week's reappearance here; a first-time visor replaces cheekpieces. |
