16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Dual AW winner but he's generally struggled this year and was beaten 10l at Newcastle (7f, Tapeta) last month; continues to drop down the weights but he has plenty to prove and is 0-11 on turf. |
14/1 |

20th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
8st 5lb |
His last win was in October 2024 and he's been well held in most of his runs this year; on reduced mark but this looks tough back up in grade and others are preferred. |

11th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |

She won three times in the second half of last year (6f/7f, good/AW) and her current mark isn't necessarily beyond her; a market check is advised but she may need this comeback run. |

4th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Not far behind Spartan Fighter here last month and now 11lb better off; not so good at Southwell last time when the cheekpieces were left off; headgear back on today. |
6/1 |

9th 8 (8) |
22nd Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Often slowly away, as when winning over C&D last February; three 6f runs since October have all been creditable and the step back up in trip could give him a lift. |
8/1 |

2 (10) |
18th Nov 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Three AW wins, the most recent over 7f at Southwell in February; respectable fourth, running on, over C&D last time when back from layoff; in the mix. |

Eight wins here, the latest off 3lb higher last March; return to this trip should suit after three runs over further, but he is hard to predict these days. |

4th Jan 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Veteran who is a 13-time AW scorer; however, has something to find on his autumn form and consequently needs to raise his game on return from two-month layoff. |

17th Feb 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |

Well treated on his old form but he's an infrequent winner who has finished down the field in his last six starts and last two have been on Tapeta; down the list. |

26th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
11st 2lb |
Beat Mister Sky Blue by 2l to win over C&D this month but was comfortably held off this 6lb higher mark last week; consistent. |
13/2 |
|
6th 10 (6) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Largely consistent mare who had edged her way down to a good mark before clearcut C&D (good) win 11 days ago; evidently in good nick but moves up from 0-55 grade today and recent 6lb rise might leave her vulnerable. |
9/2 |
|
1st 4 (9) |
7th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |

C&D winner; two creditable fourth-place finishes this year; likely to give it another good go under suitable conditions. |

6th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Tough 9yo who has won four 6f handicaps here this year; form dipped last time, however, and returning to 7f isn't enough to tempt. |
9/1 |
|
9th 1 (2) |
14th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Has won four of his five races, all over C&D, this year, his latest win coming last Tuesday when getting home by 0.5l; up 6lb but has won off higher marks in the past; should go well |
7/2 |
|
1st 9 (7) |
10th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Sprightly 9yo who completed a quick hat-trick of front-running C&D wins last month and lost out only by a neck off today's mark here on Wednesday; upped in grade but likely to give another good account. |
