28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Good fourth in this in 2024 (soft) and respectable eighth last season (good to soft), making his reappearance each time; runner-up on three of his five subsequent starts last term (good to soft/soft); his four wins have come on soft/heavy going and such testing ground today seems unlikely. |

All eight wins have been on the AW and he's been coming up short in weaker handicaps than this on turf. |

21st Jan 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Veteran who drew a blank in 2025; latest midfield finish over C&D needs bettering but he has slipped to a lowly mark. |

11th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 113y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Often leads; won this race (soft) off this mark last year but his form has dipped noticeably since two creditable thirds in June; last time's Racing League appearance can be forgiven, however, and he's not totally dismissed back here. |

16th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 5 |

Eight C&D wins, the most recent off current mark in August; not in the same form since and was behind a few of today's rivals last time. |

29th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Has struggled on his last three starts but always a force to be reckoned with at this track having registered an eighth win here on his last visit in August (1m, good; ridden by Oliver Carmichael); only 2lb higher. |

17th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 2f 23y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Useful in his younger days but nothing like as good for Alan King this year back from around 18 months off; perhaps the return to his old yard will do the trick and a reproduction of his Newbury third (1m2f, good) in May would give him a fair chance at this lower level. |
