13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
On a long losing sequence and he came in a below-par seventh of 12 in 5.7f handicap here 22 days ago; yet to score on turf too. |
12/1 |
|
7th 2 (5) |
22nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Tapeta specialist but he's hung right before finishing a well-held fifth at Wolverhampton (5f) in his last two starts; continues to edge down the weights but he's 0-13 on turf and has not run in this sphere since last May; others preferred. |

5th 7 (7) |
21st Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
8st 6lb |
Four C&D wins (from marks in the 60s); excuses when a closing third over C&D on penultimate start; hung right when three places (over 4l) behind Shalaa Asker subsequently; has won for Kieran O'Neill but needs everything to drop his way. |

23rd Oct 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Multiple winner on the AW and consistent in the main; in front 2f out but didn't quite get home when third here last month; respected off same mark. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 5 (7) |
27th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Won twice over C&D early this year and he's now 2lb lower than for the second of them; showed signs of a return to form when fourth of nine at Lingfield three weeks ago; solid candidate. |
9/2 |

1 (3) |
8th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Three wins this year include two on the Southwell AW; hasn't been flying of late but he's the type to bounce back and this mark is fine. |

25th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Won two Class 5s before a strong-finishing third at this level here last time having been last at one point; however, stall 11 could be a killer. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 9 (3) |
10th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 110y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Course win (5f, good) last July; arrives in top form, winning Class 5 events at Bath and Newbury (5f, firm and good to firm) this summer; 2lb rise shouldn't prevent another bold bid. |
5/1 |
|
1st 1 (2) |
1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 34y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Ran twice over C&D last summer and performed with great credit on both occasions, finishing second to Faustus in July and filling the same position one month later; career-best effort when winning at Bath last week (5f, firm); penalty demands more but he can't be discounted. |

1st Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 60y Class 5 |
8st 7lb |
Three-time course winner but last season ended on a low note and he was tailed off here on last month's return, albeit on ground faster than ideal. |
12/1 |
|
6th 1 (4) |
5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Three-time C&D winner, most recently last May; absent since two disappointing runs here last August, though, and would appeal more on good or slower ground. |
13/2 |
|
5 (2) |
1st Sep 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 60y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Two wins this season, the latter from the front over C&D (good to soft) in May; also suited by good to firm ground and last month's down-the-field finish here can be excused (stumbled leaving stalls) but others in this line-up look better handicapped; finished last of 13 in first-time visor here yesterday. |

reluctant to load, ducked right start, pressed leader, led 2f out, headed inside final furlong, weakening when eased inside final 110yds |

16th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
9yo who has dropped down the weights and showed spark when second of four at Nottingham last month; however, well beaten at Thirsk since and he's winless on turf since September 2021; others appeal more. |
50/1 |
|
12th 9 (5) |
1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Talented veteran but has temperament to match his ability; no turf win since 2021 and when second at Nottingham 11 days ago there were only four runners; more minor money perhaps his best hope. |
9/1 |
|
2nd 1 (4) |
21st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 8y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Winless on turf since 2021 but showed more on his second run back from a break last time, is now 2lb lower and this is easier than the handicaps he's used to contesting; tends to be held up and a speed-favouring 5f in a small field may not be optimal but he's capable. |
