23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Went back-to-back in good-ground handicaps (7f/1m, including here) in September 2024 but no wins since and two runs last month (led before weakening) don't suggest another crack at this trip will turn the ship around. |
8/1 |

7th 7 (3) |
17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Won two in a row on turf in September 2024 but he's drawn a blank since and was well held on C&D reappearance (good) 12 days ago; may have needed that run but he's hard to predict and others are more convincing; blinkers reapplied. |
10/1 |
|
11th 6 (2) |
5th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Regressed last year and goes without the usual headgear on his return from four months off; twice ran well off higher marks over C&D last summer, though, and ran well on his 2yo debut, so a better showing wouldn't surprise as long as there's not much rain. |

19th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 135y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Dual winner here on the AW over 1m; bounced back from a couple of lesser efforts when third of nine here on the AW over 7f last time but he could do without the rain on this switch back to turf (well beaten in three starts on soft). |
13/2 |
|
3rd 7 (5) |
25th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Both wins have been gained over 1m at this track; last success was off 8lb higher last January but he's been generally disappointing since and was beaten 7l at Kempton (1m) three weeks ago; has a change of headgear but he looks opposable back in trip. |
12/1 |
|
6th 7 (7) |
2nd Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Both wins have come on Polytrack at Lingfield but latest was 14 months ago; on dangerous mark and was placed at Lingfield (1m) in November but he's taken two backward steps since and overall record is now 2-35. |

9st 3lb |
Won here over 7f in February either side of wins over this trip at Kempton; encountered a wide trip when down the field in a higher grade than this last time and he may well be able to bounce back. |
8/1 |
|
8th 11 (8) |
28th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
8st 7lb |
Arrives seeking a four-timer, two of the wins over C&D, and he hasn't been treated punitively by the assessor having gone up just 6lb; this is a much stiffer test of his credentials but there are no doubts surrounding his wellbeing. |
12/1 |
|
1st 6 (8) |
4th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Has started 2026 with wins over C&D and in a small field at Wolverhampton (7f); only 1lb higher on the hat-trick bid but this is more competitive and he's drawn widest. |

9st 3lb |
Won over C&D (good) last summer and has run well on the AW here in her last three outings; still 3lb above her highest winning mark, but ought to put up another bold show. |
11/2 |
|
4th 4 (6) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |

Scored over 1m here in September and returned from six months off with a good fourth of 11 over C&D 16 days ago; well in the mix. |
8/1 |
|
4th 2 (2) |
14th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Resumed winning ways over 1m here in September and she signed off for 2025 with a good C&D second the following month; has gone well fresh too so she needs considering on her seasonal return. |

Made a successful handicap debut over C&D in April and was a good second next time; however, poor in his last three races and now goes in headgear. |

17th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Acts on good to firm and soft; runner-up off 7lb higher here (1m) in June but he's not come close to that form since; had an excuse when upped to 1m2f here last time but his losing run is mounting up and others look safer; change of headgear. |
10/1 |

8th Oct 2024 Good To Soft 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |

16th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 0f 31y Class 6 |

19th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 135y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Both wins on turf have been at Yarmouth over 7f and he's also won twice on the AW; went close at Southwell (1m, AW) in January but he did too much too soon there 20 days ago; claims if settling better. |

5th 3 (10) |
29th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |

Twice won back to back and has been knocking on the door of late, loudest when going down by a neck over C&D in January; player if he's not too fresh back from a short break and can be settled. |

Up in the weights following three wins in the second half of last year; not at his best in a couple of starts back off 3lb higher and might need more help yet from the handicapper. |
25/1 |

11th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |

Three wins (6f, good to firm (twice) and 5f, AW) last year; didn't run badly on last week's return to action at Salisbury but he will need a step forward to take this. |

29th Jul 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Two 1m wins in spring 2024, on AW and at Yarmouth (good to firm), but most of her efforts for this yard have been ordinary and she hasn't been in remotely good form on her last two starts. |
6/1 |

4th 4 (5) |
22nd Jun 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

A dual 1m winner in 2024 but she's yet to hit top form this term, beating only one in 1m handicap at Chepstow 40 days ago; others are preferred. |

10th 8 (3) |
13th May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
None too consistent but she's slipped to a basement mark and there was more encouragement to be gleaned when a close fourth at Nottingham last month (first-time cheekpieces, retained); 11lb lower than for her Yarmouth win 13 months ago so needs a second look. |

2nd Oct 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Record of 1-22 and well held at Windsor last time but that was after a solid spell, including a second at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) on his penultimate run; 1lb lower here and could be dangerous if he gets a good pace back at this trip. |
8/1 |

16th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 0f 31y Class 6 |

27th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Won over C&D in January; runner-up at Southwell (1m6f) next time and has won over 1m6f at Wolverhampton and Southwell on his two starts since; his wins have been narrow ones, meaning he is climbing the weights only slowly, and there can be optimism this progressive 5yo has more left in the tank. |
7/2 |
|
1st 2 (5) |
13th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
In fine form lately with wins at Lingfield (2m, Polytrack) and from a subsequent winner at Wolverhampton (1m6f, Tapeta); finished runner-up over this C&D in between and although up 3lb, is likely to be bang there once again. |
