26th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

20-1 for her stable debut here two weeks ago but she kept on well to see off nine rivals (1m, firm); still has plenty of handicapping scope and she could be the answer. |

Often leads; tight between him and Francisco on C&D form in April but he couldn't hold his place on the turf track here since and this looks competitive, especially with others in the field who like to lead. |
14/1 |

5th 11 (11) |
19th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

Without a win since 2024 but went close here (7f, AW) last month; this race may be more competitive than he is used to but he's not dismissed. |

2nd 11 (8) |
27th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |

On the downgrade last year; third to Vitalline in a 0-50 classified event on his Kempton comeback early last month but has since run only fairly from the front over C&D; others appeal more. |

1st Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
No sign at all of age wearying him during the winter, having won over C&D in November, and he returned from a break as fresh as paint with a 7f win at Southwell last month; back up 4lb; one of a few to consider. |

Modest 7f/1m handicapper on the Flat; pulled hard when tailed off on only previous run over hurdles in November 2023 (2m, good to soft); best watched for now. |

Two wins in 7f classified events last month; runner-up in his last two completed starts; unseated rider early at Chester on Friday; each-way shout but hardly an unknown quantity. |
8/1 |

10 (7) |
12th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Fourth, nearest at the finish, to Hallowed Time in this last year; back with James Owen again and arrives in the midst of a productive spell, recent second-place finishes (visored) to add to earlier wins at Yarmouth and Brighton (7f); can often miss the break though, which isn't ideal at Chester. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 3 (8) |
8th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Nine of his ten wins have been on turf and he came from off the pace when good second off this mark at Brighton (6f; first-time visor) last month; has claims if he can repeat that form but he's 1-12 on AW and that success was in a claimer. |

31st Aug 2024 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Back-to-back AW wins in the spring, latterly over C&D; made a good return from eight weeks off when second at Brighton (7f, good to firm) 11 days ago; considered back here. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 8 (6) |
20th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 210y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Form has dipped slightly since two AW wins in March/April and remains on a 2lb higher mark than for the most recent win; however, he posted a better effort at Newbury in June, having been denied a clear run before finishing his race off well, and is worth considering on the back of that. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 18y Class 6 |

Both wins came over 6f on soft ground in 2024 but he's mostly struggled since the latest of them; off for 134 days and he's best watched. |

8th 9 (1) |
20th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |

Produced one of his better efforts in last C&D attempt but is by no means sure to reproduce it, being far from consistent; yet to win on AW. |

9th 12 (2) |
21st Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Snapped a string of lacklustre efforts when a much-improved third at Southwell (5f AW; 100-1); RPRs illustrate this is his optimum trip but whether he can replicate that latest effort back on turf is questionable. |

30th Jun 2025 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Made all at Lingfield (5f classified) in January but that was a narrow success and he's been vulnerable to finishers in five subsequent runs; could be the same story here and he looks opposable back in a handicap. |
14/1 |

5th 2 (9) |
10th Jun 2025 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |

Won a similar contest at Lingfield (5f, Polytrack) in January and his proven early speed is an asset over this C&D, but the outside stall poses a problem; cheekpieces return. |

Fifth AW win came over 5f at Lingfield in January in second-time cheekpieces but backward steps since and was well beaten at Wolverhampton (6f) 12 days ago; he's won on turf but needs to return to form in the added blinkers. |

23rd May 2025 Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Three-time Wolverhampton 7f winner who rarely runs on turf or in sprints these days; usually has plenty of use made of him but whether he'll be able to hold a pitch, down in trip from the outside stall, remains to be seen. |

21st Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Can front-run; three of his four wins have been at this track but he's been disappointing since his C&D win in October; still 3lb higher than for that last success and he needs to turn things around. |
7/1 |

6th 3 (6) |
15th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

Can front-run; three of his four wins have been at this track (6f/1m), with the most recent coming in October; below his best when fourth at Southwell (1m, AW) last time but that was his first start for 75 days and he may come on for it; can be competitive back to 7f. |
