30th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Won three times in the summer of 2024, including twice over C&D; several good runs in defeat last year and he starts out for George Baker (same owner) off a competitive mark; one to consider. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 166y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Dual AW winner on the Flat who was 61l adrift when beating one home on his handicap hurdle debut at Kempton (2m) last month; just a fair effort on the Flat a fortnight ago; upped markedly in trip for his second go in this sphere. |

8th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Mainly seen over hurdles lately and is just 2-33 under rules, but one of his wins came over C&D and his last few efforts on the AW off similar marks would give him an each-way chance here. |
13/2 |

23rd Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Goes handicapping for the first time in this sphere but probably doesn't have anything in hand, with opening hurdles mark roughly in keeping with his Flat ability; that doesn't necessarily mean he can't run well. |

C&D win last December; off the mark for the year when winning a Yarmouth handicap (11.5f, soft) in good style in October; ran well over 1m2f here four weeks ago, carried right by the errant winner, and he's capable of another prominent showing. |

Handicap debutante managed to win twice on the Flat for Charlie Fellowes but very few positives to take from three qualifying runs in maiden hurdles; well beaten on the Flat latest; others preferred. |

10st 1lb |
Won twice on fast ground in the summer of 2024, including at this track (extended 1m3f); she hasn't stood much racing since, seen just four times since September 2024, and there are major question marks over how much of that old ability she retains. |

Four course wins, latest two over C&D and 1m5f early in 2024 (both with no headgear; cheekpieces refitted today); creditable return from break at Kempton and no blame attached to his third over C&D since; not far away. |

His last win was in September 2024 but he went close at Chelmsford (1m2f) in February and he ran respectably over C&D last time; usually comes from off the pace and could be dangerous if he gets the breaks. |

Front-runner with very modest 1-24 strike-rate, the win gained in basement-grade classified race at Kempton (1m3f, AW) in January; placed off today's mark handicap over that C&D last month but his latest run was disappointing and others have more pressing claims here. |

Off the mark at the 20th attempt when making all in a 0-50 classified event at Kempton (1m3f, Polytrack) in January; finished third behind Churchill Rose and Dillydingdillydong in a handicap back there a fortnight ago; may get his own way in a race lacking pace; worth a second look. |
