2nd 8 (6) |
28th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Most of his wins have been at 1m but he swooped late on to score over 1m3f in January and led 1f out when asserting in tidy style over 1m4f early this month, both at this track; back up another 5lb and he's a 7yo, but peak form (October 2024) was a little better still and he's now 7-12 at Kempton; on the shortlist. |
15/2 |
|
1st 5 (5) |
2nd Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Most of his wins have been at 1m but he made it 6-11 at Kempton when swooping late for a last-gasp win over 1m3f in January; up 2lb but he remains well handicapped on his best form and is strongly respected back up in trip. |
4/1 |
|
1st 9 (7) |
28th Jan 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Somewhat interesting off an attractive mark back at Kempton, being 5-10 here, but all of that course form is over 1m; has a mixed record beyond that distance so carries risk back up in trip; however, certainly holds a fighting chance provided he's in top form. |

10th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Veteran who finished runner-up in his only previous go over C&D, but that was in 2020; exclusively campaigned over 1m these days and is on a losing run of 23, so has enough to prove. |

6th 11 (7) |
1st Nov 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
10yo whose losing sequence goes back 19 runs to 2020; ran some big races last season but seen only twice this year (both Goodwood), failing to build on comeback sixth (Linwood third) when down the field three weeks ago. |

9th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 144y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
4-6 on good ground over hurdles, notching another personal best when returning from a break to win readily at Plumpton (2m; 15-2) last month; a 10lb rise demands further improvement but he's thriving and should encounter suitable conditions again. |
5/1 |
|
1st 7 |
5th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
Very progressive in completing a good-ground hat-trick last year and when third to Tutti Quanti in a Class 1 handicap at Newbury in November (soft); still on a competitive mark despite all that and for whatever reason he didn't show his true form at Kempton on final sighting at Christmas; if forgiven that, and he's had a break, then he enters the picture. |
5/1 |

1st Nov 2025 Good 1m 7f 157y Class 2 |
10st 12lb |
Pretty useful in 2024 on Flat; won on good ground at Huntingdon, Warwick and Market Rasen (2m1f) in all three of his handicap hurdles, with mistakes at the last two flights on latest outing but he'd travelled much the best and won by nearly 2l; up another 6lb and in class but he keeps looking as if he has more up his sleeve. |

16th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Dual novice winner; 0-4 in handicaps but only 2l away in his last two (7f/1m) and blinkers could be a notable addition as he was on and off the bridle last time at Sandown. |
9/2 |
|
4th 4 (7) |
26th Jul 2024 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Still early days for him in handicaps and this dual novice winner was only 2l away last time at Newbury (7f, good to firm); trainer happy to return to 1m and he's in the mix. |
8/1 |
|
4th 7 (10) |
13th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Three runs over 7f last summer, winning two novices (Doncaster and Wolverhampton) before reportedly unsuited by soft ground on handicap debut; 305-day absence before respectable seventh of 12 at Kempton (1m, AW; 13-2) three weeks ago; needs to improve his turf form and these are early days. |

3rd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Ended a losing run at Windsor in June but only five ran there and he has finished down the field in three runs since; looks vulnerable once again. |
33/1 |
|
4 (6) |
8th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 0f 31y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Only beat four rivals for his 1m win here in June and was pretty much last in his two races on either side of that; again beat just the one home here 16 days ago. |
14/1 |

6th 2 (2) |
23rd Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 31y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Snapped a losing run when beating four rivals over C&D (good to firm) in June but he's not easy predict and was last of 13 at Chepstow two weeks ago; needs to bounce back again after that and he comes with risks attached. |

26th Aug 2024 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Three wins in a busy campaign this year, the latest at Pontefract (1m, good) last month; another solid effort when second of 13 in a Racing League handicap at Windsor (1m, good to firm) 11 days ago and although up another 3lb, still makes the shortlist. |

1st Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Three AW wins, the latest over C&D in December; went through a quiet spell since his most recent 7f run here (in January) but fared better back over C&D in May when going close off a reduced mark; bang there. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 6 (6) |
8th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Not at his best of late, but has dropped 8lb lower than when successful over C&D in January; needs a resurgence, but is too well handicapped to ignore. |
20/1 |
|
7th 3 (3) |
6th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Kept on well to score over 7f here (10-1; from 5lb higher) in December; form has dipped since February, slowly away, failing to beat a single rival at Newcastle (1m) just over a fortnight ago; needs to rediscover a spark. |

1st Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Things didn't pan out for him when back over 6f here in April (first-time visor; cheekpieces now refitted) but he has a good C&D record, winning once and close up in all three handicaps; has a good run in him. |
10/1 |

4th 8 (1) |
17th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Went close here (7f) on his penultimate run but he's not easy to predict and was well held when favourite at Thirsk (7f, good) last Friday; needs to step up again after that and all of his three wins have been over 7f; first-time visor. |
15/2 |
|
7th 8 (4) |
10th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Three-time winner and has been shaping as though his turn could be near once more, going down narrowly the last twice at Wolverhampton (7f); can race keenly but if getting some cover from stall 4 he should be on the scene. |
