11th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Runner-up at Kempton (7f, AW) two starts ago and he has a 9lb lower mark to work with on turf; however, he's been inconsistent this year and his sole turf win (from 15 attempts) came back in 2023. |
8/1 |

11th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Two-time C&D winner; solid efforts in defeat on his last two starts; still feasibly weighted but happiest when dominating and a few of these like to force the pace. |
6/1 |

2nd 4 (1) |
2nd Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Seven of his eight wins have come on AW, including two over C&D; only 1lb higher than for his last success in October and he ran for a long way when fourth at Chelmsford 18 days ago; has good draw back at this track and it wouldn't be a surprise if he made a bold bid. |

2nd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
0-15; third of seven over C&D on his penultimate start; has dropped 11lb this calendar year and has a chance from this mark on several pieces of form in that period; below par at Wolverhampton (9.5f, Tapeta) latest; jockey has been in the first four in 22-31 rides for this trainer (five seasons). |

16th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
0-14; third of seven in an amateur riders' event at Chelmsford (1m2f, Polytrack) last month, but still to fully convince he wants this sort of trip; Tapeta debut. |

3rd 1 (3) |
21st Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
0-13; down the field at Lingfield (7f, good) 17 days ago but he now returns to AW off a mark 8lb lower than when second of eight here over 7f in October; stamina for this far is a question mark but his pedigree suggests it's worth exploring (dam 1m2f/15.5f winner). |

20th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Three wins over 7f/1m on turf/AW last year; endured a wide trip when fifth of ten on her return from 253 days off at Chelmsford (1m, AW) last month, but she remains 6lb above her last winning mark. |
14/1 |

5th 6 (6) |
14th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Won three times last year including twice at this track (7f/1m); returns after 253 days off but this reliable mare still looks on a workable mark and she has won when fresh; dangerous with Jim Crowley booked. |

19th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

Without a win since 2024 but went close here (7f, AW) last month; this race may be more competitive than he is used to but he's not dismissed. |
5/1 |

2nd 11 (8) |
27th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
8st 4lb |
On the downgrade last year; third to Vitalline in a 0-50 classified event on his Kempton comeback early last month but has since run only fairly from the front over C&D; others appeal more. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Kickstarted 2026 with 6f success at Southwell and comes here on the back of a good third of 11 in 7f Kempton handicap; this three-time C&D scorer must enter calculations. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 3 (5) |
20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Nine-time winner (6f-7.4f), who defied this mark at Southwell in January but he's been well held in three runs since; now drops back in grade but he needs to get back near his best. |
20/1 |

6th 10 (2) |
6th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 1y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Did too much up front kept to AW on return from break last time, again running below the form of his January win; effective on turf but has never defied a mark as high as current one. |

Blew the start over C&D last week but he had been in good order prior to that, winning twice at Brighton this autumn; can bounce back quickly. |

With only one win (last November) in more than two years and not being so good this season, he is some way down the pecking order. |

9th 6 (12) |
19th Sep 2024 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Should be competitive off this mark and he didn't run badly at Newcastle last week; on the downside, he's another that likes to be on the sharp end and he's drawn wide to boot. |

C&D winner but his last success was 2022 and he was quiet in his three runs last year; now 17lb lower than for last win but he needs a big turnaround after another absence; headgear removed. |
