10th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Four wins over 5f for Iain Jardine, but unplaced in three starts on the AW since returning for this yard in January; 8lb below last winning mark, but drying ground and return to 6f pose questions; cheekpieces return. |
12/1 |

7th 2 (12) |
5th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
A fair 5f scorer for Iain Jardine; shaped encouragingly for his new yard when fourth at Southwell (5f) in January but raced too freely over 6f when seventh at Wolverhampton since; can bounce back here. |
16/1 |
|
7th 5 (8) |
16th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Campaigned mostly over 5f; posted a resurgent effort at Southwell on stable/seasonal debut; successful twice off current mark, so holds possibilities provided he's as effective back at 6f. |

31st Jan 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
The veteran of the field but he arrives in top form, finding only the revitalised Mondammej too strong over C&D three weeks ago; not dismissed lightly off an unchanged mark. |

30th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Multiple sprint winner who runs here for the first time; 3lb higher than when last winning at Leicester (6f, good to soft) last September; not badly treated on that form but has yet to produce one of his better efforts following a break. |
16/1 |
|
3rd 3 (5) |
21st Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Below best at Leicester recently; had won two of his three 6f starts previously but he hasn't run on the AW for over a year and has been better on Polytrack than Tapeta in the past. |
7/1 |
|
3 (11) |
7th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Has returned to 6f for last three races and produced figures of 121; had his race won some way out here four weeks ago (on good) and should go well again despite the 6lb rise. |

13th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Posted a second-place finish in May but isn't particularly solid on the rest of his 2025 form; further drop in weights takes him to 10lb below last winning mark. |
16/1 |

1st Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
10st 7lb |
Runner-up at Hamilton (5f, good to firm) in May but he has been below his best in five starts since; needs a return to form with the visor back on for the first time since 2021. |
7/1 |
|
10th 8 (12) |
21st Sep 2025 Soft 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Four-time C&D winner; runner-up here in May but not in anything like the same form since and needs to stage a revival. |
16/1 |
