24th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Two front-running 1m Kempton wins in 2024; belatedly returned to form when narrowly denied there (7f) in December but didn't come close to backing that up over 1m last week; blinkers are refitted now. |
11/1 |

14th Jan 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Two front-running C&D wins in 2024; little to enthuse over last year until a prominent market position correctly predicted a return to form when beaten a head over 7f here last month; up 3lb but still below his winning marks and looks a leading contender despite possible pace pressure. |

10st 5lb |
13-race maiden; fair third (beaten over 4l) over C&D in October on final start for Jane Chapple-Hyam; is entitled to have needed his recent Southwell (7f; stable debut) comeback, but still prone to being picked off late again if adopting the same trailblazing style; others preferred. |

Placed in 3-12 starts, including over this trip, when with Jane Chapple-Hyam; changed stables since latest start in October; trainer among the winners and it wouldn't be a huge shock if he manages to coax a first one out of this gelding, who drops back again in trip; check for any market confidence. |

4th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Both of his wins have been at Kempton over 7f, the more recent in January 2024; beaten 1l when fourth of seven in a classified event at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm; first-time blinkers) 20 days ago; back into a handicap on this return to AW. |

15th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Operating below a winning level kept mostly to 7f-1m this year; record of 033 granted 6f on turf (one place over C&D), never failing to record an RPR of at least 51, so this first assignment granted such a trip/surface combination since spring 2023 may be worth a go; blinkers added. |

30th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

Has been running well for a while now and was only a length away last week at Ffos Las (extended 7f); however, finds winning extremely hard with a strike-rate of 1-41. |

22nd Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 80y Class 6 |

Has modest 1-40 strike-rate but scores very high marks for her consistency on turf/AW over the last year or so; runner-up off today's mark at Southwell (1m, AW) three weeks ago; probably on the premises again here. |

9st 2lb |
Both wins have been here on the AW over 1m2f; ran well when runner-up at Kempton (1m, AW) in March but well beaten there 55 days ago and he's struggled in each of his three starts on turf. |
12/1 |

25th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Both wins have been over 1m2f at Lingfield (AW) but he gave it a good shot when runner-up over C&D three weeks ago; on unchanged mark and he should be in the thick of things again. |

2nd 9 (6) |
2nd Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Both wins have been over 1m2f on Polytrack at Lingfield; several respectable efforts there since October but he's been well held in last two runs and his tactical speed will be tested back at this trip. |

Broke duck over 8.6f here and another decent run to be fourth on his return visit; Kempton last time was disappointing but he's hard to rule out; having his first run over this far which might not be a bad thing. |

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 |

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. |

Strike-rate of 2-22 on the AW but both wins have been this year, the latest off 3lb lower over C&D in February when a well-backed favourite; has been off since so may be better for the run. |

17th Feb 2026 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |

11th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |

Frequent Wolverhampton winner who's 0-12 on turf, including in his Irish days (has 4lb lower mark than on the AW); very consistent, though, and should get the good pace he wants, so every chance he gets involved again. |

Two wins on AW this year, with first over C&D in April and latest at Lingfield (AW) last month; disappointing back at this track last time but he may have done too much too soon and he's capable of bouncing back; in the mix for in-form yard. |
