Multiple winner and successful here in March, but not in the same form since; others look more persuasive. |

20th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Runner-up twice at Chepstow this season (1m, good/good to firm) but is far too inconsistent to rely upon, and his recent efforts have been very disappointing; swaps usual blinkers for refitted cheekpieces. |
33/1 |
|
9th 10 (1) |
30th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Very hit-and-miss these days and his second of 13 at Chepstow (good to firm) in July hasn't been reproduced in six subsequent starts; 1lb out of the weights and others look a lot safer. |
33/1 |

17 (1) |
25th Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 14y Class 2 |
8st 3lb |
Usually leads and has the option of going up the far side from stall 1; hit-and-miss these days, for a trainer also responsible for Romanovich (a fellow front-runner drawn on the opposite wing) but is capable off a feather weight if tactics decide the day. |

Again slowly away when not running much of a race here on Wednesday, continuing his poor run of form. |

12th 2 (7) |
6th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Regularly misses the break; form has nosedived since winning at Southwell (7f, AW; first-time blinkers) in January, including when beaten nearly 15l in a similar event over C&D one month ago; can't be recommended at present. |
50/1 |

3 (9) |
25th Jul 2025 Good 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Regularly misses the break; second to Fact Or Fable in this race last year and won at this track (7f, good to firm) in September; back on the scoresheet at Southwell (7f, AW; first-time blinkers) in January but quiet since and he ran poorly at Brighton last time when back from a break. |

Dropped away to finish last of ten over 1m here last month, his first outing for 429 days (150-1); best watched over this longer trip. |

Went close over C&D (good) in April but he's not matched that form since and was beaten 17l here last time; losing run is now up to 22 and others are preferred. |

24th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Course specialist who landed his sixth win on this track earlier this month, in a C&D classified; beaten at odds-on over 7f here 24 hours later but will be more at home back over 1m and must be on the shortlist. |
11/4 |
|
3rd 4 (2) |
6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
8yo who has worked his way back into form this season and he won a 1m classified here yesterday under Molly Gunn, which was his sixth course win; strong claims under 4lb penalty if running again today. |
9/4 |
|
1st 5 (7) |
5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 216y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Gained five of his 11 wins at this track; not at best in three handicaps since returned to turf in June but was only beaten about 2l when fifth of seven at Windsor (1m, good to firm) last time and is strong interest in this lower grade and with cheekpieces refitted. |

13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Overcame a slow start to win a C&D handicap (firm) in April; completely blew the start at Wolverhampton last month and was always behind thereafter; has the ability to pop up again but too risky for comfort. |
15/2 |
|
11th 5 (11) |
11th May 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Got into the habit of blowing the start but in fair form, adding to her trainer's good recent run when winning on turf last time; has not looked to see it out in a couple of previous tries over this far, though, and is drawn widest upped 3lb. |
6/1 |
|
1st 2 (3) |
29th Apr 2026 Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Three-time winner, most recently at Brighton last May off a 2lb lower mark than today's; has posted some good efforts on the AW this year, including when runner-up at Wolverhampton (8.5f, AW) last month, but she can be slowly away so she needs things to drop tight. |

24th Feb 2025 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
12-time winner including over C&D; has mixed record since last success in May 2024 but he's reached the frame here in two of his last four runs; things didn't go well over C&D last time but he had a wide trip in that race and could be dangerous if he can bounce back. |

7th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 216y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Ten-race maiden who ran one of her better races when third of nine at Salisbury (7f, good to firm) in June but not so good in two runs since, including in cheekpieces latest; headgear quickly dispensed with but others have more pressing claims. |

7th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 216y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Three of his six wins have come here (7f/1m, good to firm), the latest in a similar event last August; out of sorts since though; doesn't look the stable's first choice, with plenty to find at the weights in the refitted visor. |
25/1 |

7th 1 (8) |
9th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 0m 7f 216y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Three of his six wins have come here (7f/1m, good to firm), the latest in a similar event last August; moderate in the meantime, though, and has plenty to find even at this level; tongue-tie removed after one use; stable triple-handed. |
25/1 |

9th 8 (11) |
22nd Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 3f 133y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
All of his six wins have been at 7f/1m and he's been out of sorts in his last nine runs; has lots to prove and he's never raced over this far; regular blinkers removed. |

20th Oct 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Four wins this year, two on the AW (1m2f, 9.5f) and the last two over 1m on turf at Brighton (good to firm) and Bath (good to soft); on a career-high mark now but is progressive and should go well. |
5/1 |

3rd 4 (4) |
28th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 216y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Perhaps handled the good to soft ground better than his rivals when a clearcut winner at Bath last time and shot up 8lb for that; effective here under these conditions but new mark is a worry. |
3/1 |
|
1st 6 (10) |
13th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Prominent racer; consistent this season with the exception of his penultimate run, but bounced straight back from that three weeks ago at Brighton (1m, good to firm) and the runner-up ran well this week; 2lb higher. |
11/2 |
