24th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Nine-time winner; good runs few and far between in 2025 and he made a low-key return to action over C&D two weeks ago; revival not out of the question but others look safer. |
16/1 |

7th 2 (7) |
10th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Most recent wins were over 5f/5.5f for Darryll Holland in August and September 2024; some fair runs since and just as effective at 6f but lacks a recent outing; back with a former yard. |

6th 2 (10) |
11th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Nine-time winner, including once here (5f), and currently 6lb lower than for his last success; returned to Darryll Holland ahead of his fourth of eight at Brighton 11 days ago; market useful with the stable also running Kodi Red. |

28th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Still a maiden but there isn't much between him and Arlington on C&D form in October and although he was beaten before the 6f trip became an issue at Chelmsford in February he can't be ruled out on return from a break. |
15/2 |
|
6th 10 |
8th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Maiden; often thereabouts in 5f handicaps on turf and the AW but he has ground to make up on Forever Noah on their recent 5f run here and the return to 6f, for the first time since his debut, raises a big question. |
7/1 |
|
4th 9 (1) |
29th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Longstanding maiden but he's been in the first three on 14 occasions; ran respectably in a classified on his return from a break over C&D two weeks ago and holds place claims once again. |

1st Jun 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Dual course winner early in the year for 5lb claimer Ryan Kavanagh, and will be happier back on the AW and down from 7f; would have been better off with all bar one were this a handicap, however. |
16/1 |
|
16th 14 (16) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Won two classified events at Wolverhampton (5f/6f) this year but he's not made an impact in last three runs; this step back up to 7f is no problem but he needs to find more to get back on the scoresheet. |
25/1 |
|
4th 9 (1) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Two wins this year, both in Wolverhampton classified races (5f/6f); probably needs to find something extra in this handicap, though, and below form on last two starts (both 5f). |

19th Oct 2024 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Off the mark with a narrow success in a four-runner handicap at Lingfield (5f, AW) last month; dropped away over C&D last time and others bring stronger claims. |
10/1 |
|
7th 6 (10) |
23rd Sep 2024 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Off the mark at the 11th attempt when beating Battle Point at Lingfield (5f, Polytrack) 19 days ago; that was a last-gasp win in a four-runner race but he travelled well for a long way and is only 2lb higher here; respected back on Tapeta. |

15th Aug 2024 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Still seeking his first win (0-13) and underwhelming since finishing third at Brighton (5.5f classified; 12-1) in June; beaten a neck over this trip on sole previous visit to Chelmsford in January, which does offer hope. |
14/1 |

7th 7 (11) |
23rd Jul 2024 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
12-race maiden; kept on well for close second in 5f Chelmsford handicap in January and was placed in this grade at Brighton (5.2f, good to firm) last month, but he was soundly beaten on his last two appearances and can't be supported with much confidence. |

21st Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 135y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
His win for Dylan Cunha last summer came over 5f and he's stuck to that trip since; well held in two starts for this yard and there must be a worry he'll pull hard again over this distance. |

10th 2 (11) |
3rd Jun 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Sole win (21 races) was at Yarmouth in a 5f classified event on good to firm last July; two thirds subsequently for Dylan Cunha last season also make him of interest, but last month's reappearance less so for new yard. |

Longstanding, regressive maiden who's been as far as 1m and has finished held in a couple of runs over 5f lately, including from out of the weights at the weekend; the lowest rated contender, so again has something to find. |

30-race maiden; placed over 5f here in July, but precious little to enthuse about since, including when reluctant to load in this headgear combination at Pontefract (5f, good to soft) last Thursday; better to look elsewhere. |
