24th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
C&D winner who bounced right back to form when second of ten back here eight days ago; already due a 2lb rise for that but stall 13 is far from ideal. |
12/1 |
|
2nd 8 (5) |
16th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Three Tapeta wins, including C&D; recent form figures not inspiring but she didn't run too badly when sixth of 14 over C&D on her first run back from wind surgery and an excuse emerged last time (reportedly lost action). |

Front-runner who won over C&D in 2024; beaten around 6l when third here in January but he's been well held in two starts since; others preferred. |

Front-runner and C&D winner, but patchy form since his latest success last summer and was well held in a 0-50 classified event here four week ago; others preferred. |

Front-runner; C&D winner; he hasn't been at his best since November and he may find a few of these seeing out their race more strongly. |

3rd Oct 2024 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 10lb |
Good strike-rate on AW and he's run creditably on his last three starts; drops back in trip and he's one to take seriously. |
12/1 |

17th Sep 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

4-9 on Tapeta including two wins over 6f here; 7lb below his last winning mark and has run with credit over 7f at Southwell in his last two starts, but this stiffer track does pose a question. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Fourth on all four appearances at Brighton; 29 races overall, with both his wins on Southwell AW last March/September; thrown in on that form but he was out of form this winter and on recent return to turf after five months off; others have more pressing claims. |
20/1 |
|
10th 15 (7) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Both wins have been gained at Southwell (6f/7f) but he was out of sorts there in his final three runs last year; on lower mark back on turf but he's 0-8 in this sphere and has something to prove after five months off. |
20/1 |

9 (4) |
29th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |

Respectable fourth over 6f at Brighton last time but shaped as if he ideally needs a return to 7f, which is his usual trip; still has a poor strike-rate. |

19th May 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Dual course winner who can miss the break and/or pull hard; does most racing now over further and didn't offer much on her comeback here last month without the usual hood (back on today). |
25/1 |
|
13th 13 (7) |
20th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Scored off this mark over C&D last March but she didn't hit the same level in seven subsequent runs last year; has a bit to prove after eight months off and regular hood is missing on this step back up in grade. |
20/1 |

22nd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
All her three victories have come on the AW but she wasn't disgraced when third of eight in 1m Redcar handicap last month; effective at this much shorter trip so can't be discounted. |

Sole win in 23 starts came over 5f in Britain two seasons ago; has made a quiet start for his current yard; of some interest with Dylan Browne McMonagle teaming up with a trainer from his native Donegal. |

5f winner in Britain two seasons ago; a long way below his best on his last four starts last year and a Gowran claimer on reappearance; seems most effective at 6f, though was placed over this trip on AW last year; first time with cheekpieces. |

18th Aug 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Not much luck round Chester since switched to blinkers, being drawn wide in June and then having his jockey lose an iron soon after the start last time; is 3lb lower than when winning a Polytrack nursery last October; one to consider. |
5/1 |
|
5th 11 (1) |
12th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Lingfield nursery winner (7f AW) last October; hasn't progressed this year, with newly applied blinkers seemingly not yielding initial improvement over 6f here (good; sixth of 12) last month; 2lb lower, and much better drawn on this occasion, so can potentially sit handier; possibilities. |
6/1 |
|
6th 9 (12) |
14th Jun 2024 Good To Soft 0m 6f 17y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Caused a 40-1 surprise when scoring at Lingfield (7f, AW) last October but he's not gone on from that and has been beaten 7l on Tapeta and turf in last two runs; continues to edge down the weights but he needs new headgear to make a difference back at this trip. |

Won two 0-50 classified events here (8.6f) early last year and finished third of nine over this trip in between, but it did appear to expose her stamina; others preferred. |

4th 5 (6) |
12th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Won twice at Wolverhampton over 8.5f last year but she's been below her best in five starts since the latest of those wins; cheekpieces which were worn last time are now removed, and the tongue-tie returns. |
33/1 |
|
10th 5 (8) |
30th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Dual C&D winner in similar events to this and has saved her better efforts for this surface; well below par since winning here last March; plenty to prove in first-time cheekpieces. |

Made all to win a 7f handicap here in June; not beaten a rival in three subsequent runs; has the pace to be effective at this trip and he's favoured by these weights; not ruled out. |
5/1 |

12th 1 (9) |
18th Aug 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Dual winner from the front this season, including over C&D in April off 12lb lower, who hasn't been able to dominate the past twice and has been eased off each time; needs to bounce back and also show this mark within range. |
12/1 |
|
13th 5 (8) |
2nd Aug 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Successful under positive rides over C&D in April and at Wolverhampton (7f, Tapeta) in June; taken on in front when last of nine at Chester (7.6f, good) ten days later; not many confirmed front-runners among this opposition, so he could be dangerous if allowed his own way. |
