19th May 2026 Good 0m 4f 217y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Has six wins to his name but the last one came in October 2024; second on his return to turf at Windsor (5f, good) and should run well. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 3 (8) |
7th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Two of his three turf wins have come over C&D; solid return to action at Chelmsford in February but he took a backward step at Southwell 12 days ago; William Carson replaces a 7lb claimer; not discounted. |
7/1 |

25th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Consistent 7yo who kept on from the rear for third under James Glennon at Chelmsford (5f) in February, after a layoff; has never run here before but has form on Tapeta at Wolverhampton; can make his presence felt. |

14th Sep 2025 Heavy 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Effectively 11lb lower than when winning on heavy ground at Windsor (5f) last October but placed on only one of her nine appearances this year and evidently not as good as she was. |
8/1 |
|
9 (4) |
9th Sep 2025 Heavy 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
12lb lower than when winning at Windsor (5f, heavy) last October, but patchy form in the meantime with her latest fourth of seven coming in a 0-50 classified event at Lingfield (6f, good); cheekpieces removed after one use. |
7/1 |

9th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Seven-time winner who didn't get home in a Windsor handicap (6f, good) a fortnight ago, but she does stay this far; has won on good to firm, but most of her successes have come on good ground or softer; sports headgear for the first time on her 60th outing. |

9th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
Four-time AW winner who is 0-29 on turf but he ran well to finish third over C&D (good; 100-30 favourite) three weeks ago; rallied well in that race and he should be in the thick of things again off only 1lb higher. |
3/1 |
|
3rd 6 (7) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Led close home to score at Wolverhampton just before Christmas but the handicapper has been winning the argument since; a 0-28 turf record is enough reason to look elsewhere. |
10/1 |

5th 9 (11) |
28th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Led close home to score at Wolverhampton just before Christmas and ran creditably over C&D in February; raced wide from an outside draw back at Wolverhampton last time; that run is best ignored and he can bounce back. |

30th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Dual Polytrack winner here this year, latterly in 0-50 company; didn't look to have any excuses back on turf (now 0-19) off this mark early in the month and needs more. |
8/1 |
|
5th 5 (7) |
7th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Took an age to get off the mark, finally opening his account at the 31st attempt in a 1m2f handicap at Lingfield (AW) in January; four runs since, twice finishing second before recording another Lingfield success six weeks ago; still unexposed at this trip and he is effective on turf. |

1st 6 (2) |
25th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

Enjoyed a generally consistent winter for Jack Dace over C&D; usually dropped in and a lot will hinge on how he settles early back from six weeks off, and how the race unfolds. |

25th Aug 2025 Good 0m 5f 16y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Beaten a neck and a head in this race last year; has run some good races this season but her form dropped off at Salisbury last month and a visit to Brighton, a track she likes, could only produce a fourth of nine last time; handicapper's trying to help, though. |
7/1 |

8th Aug 2025 Good 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
C&D winner who has run some good races this season but her form dropped off at Salisbury (5f, good to firm) two weeks ago; on dangerous mark but has bit to prove again after that last run and she's now 1-26 in handicaps; visor removed. |
11/2 |

23rd Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Beaten favourite on AW last time; only 1-25 in handicaps, compared to 2-5 at classified level, but has done her winning on turf and holds a fighting chance in this field. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
All three wins at Wolverhampton (5f, AW) including two this year; 0-9 on turf, though, and an easy lead seems unlikely, especially from a wide draw; stable also runs Wedgewood. |

5th 4 (4) |
5th May 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |

In fine form on AW this year, winning twice over C&D and placed in his other four starts; record when ridden by Rossa Ryan is 333113; leading contender. |

3rd 4 (7) |
9th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |

Gained his third C&D success when narrowly holding on here 16 days ago (Henery Hawk was third); up 3lb but there's no reason why he can't go well again. |

28th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Fair third in a classified event at Lingfield (6f, AW) ten days ago but this is tougher back in a handicap and her sole win was on Polytrack in December 2023; hood reapplied. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 4 (8) |
18th Jun 2025 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |

Sole win came over Dundalk's Polytrack 6f, though about as effective on turf at her best; trail went cold from the end of last summer, and didn't lay down enough of a marker on this month's return to persuade. |
7/1 |

1st Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Regressed since notching a slow-ground hat-trick early in his 3yo season and he was well beaten on reappearance (6f, good to firm); dropped another 4lb but he's unproven over this trip; lots to prove. |
9/1 |

21st Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Regressed since notching a soft-ground hat-trick early in his 3yo season and is entitled to need this after nine months off; only run once on ground faster than good, when a beaten-favourite, so these conditions would be a concern. |
25/1 |

9th 3 (8) |
16th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Rattled off a hat-trick during the first half of 2023, all on good to soft or slower; not a lot to shout about since, however. |
