7th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Ten-time winner split between turf and AW; his last success was at Kempton in April and he finished well to snatch third off this mark there last time; should be in the mix again and he has a good record under Alec Voikhansky. |

19th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Two wins from ten starts over C&D include a success in April off 3lb lower; didn't look in a great mood at Ascot last time but he still ran well to finish fairly close fourth; not ruled out. |

Five-time turf winner who matched that tally on the AW when landing Kempton handicap (1m) in April; never a threat over that C&D last Thursday and it's been a while since he won off a mark this high. |

29th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |

Campaigned mostly on AW, reaching a fairly useful standard; posted good efforts in November/January but form dipped last month; something to prove off current mark in this warm event back on turf. |

28th Feb 2025 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 2 |

C&D win last April; runner-up in handicaps at around this trip at Southwell and Wolverhampton this winter but his form dipped back at Wolverhampton four weeks ago (9.5f); cheekpieces now added. |

Hasn't finished out of the first three in five AW starts, on the latest collared only in the final strides by the reopposing Smart Hero over 8.6f here; this low-mileage 4yo is likely to give another good account. |

17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 5f 26y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
All four wins have been on good or slower ground and latest was at Hamilton (1m5f) in July; creditable in-frame efforts twice since (1m2f here first occasion) and this course scorer is capable of having a big say. |

10st 1lb |
All four wins have been on good or slower ground and latest was at Hamilton (1m5f) in July; that was a narrow success but he's only 1lb higher here and was creditable fourth over 1m2f at Ayr last time; respected back up in trip. |

10th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |

Resumed winning ways in 1m5f handicap at Hamilton last month; this C&D scorer needs considering in refitted cheekpieces (won in them here) nudged up 1lb. |

23rd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Returned to form to win over here over 7f a week ago, beating six rivals; a 5lb penalty still leaves him on a handy mark based on last year's form and he's relatively unexposed on the AW; contender with the step back up to 1m no concern. |
3/1 |
|
6 (5) |
16th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
On a reduced mark but he's been well held in his last five runs and is now 0-17 since his last win in August 2024; withdrawn after refusing to enter the stalls at Kempton last week, but he was 7-2 at the time. |
11/2 |

10th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

On a reduced mark but he's not been on top form in 2025; drops back down in grade today but others are more appealing for win purposes. |

24th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 4 |

Narrowly beat Individualism when winning over C&D off 2lb lower in June (good to firm); excuses for two lesser runs since (soft ground; too free); contender. |
6/1 |

2 (9) |
10th Aug 2025 Good 1m 2f 100y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Soft ground provides an excuse for below-par effort last time; solid record (1333121) otherwise for current stable and gained the most recent success, at Beverley (1m2f, good to firm), in game fashion; remains of interest. |
6/1 |
|
9th 8 (12) |
24th Jul 2025 Soft 1m 2f 23y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
In very good form since being upped to 1m2f, which continued when he won at Beverley (1m2f, good to firm) last month; it's a long time since he ran well on slow ground but he's in the mix if the surface isn't an issue. |

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. |

14th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

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. |

5th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Recent efforts have not been his best but he's a dual C&D winner who has never been this low in the weights; a revival would come as no surprise. |
10/1 |
|
5th 5 (3) |
20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
No turf win since 2022 but he has won three AW handicaps in the last 14 months; should be well treated but recent efforts haven't been his best; this is a drop in class so not dismissed, even though the return of cheekpieces wouldn't be an obvious plus based on previous usage. |
9/1 |

4th 5 (4) |
4th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |

Not won on turf since his 2yo days but it was a fairly close third at Musselburgh (7f, good) in April; now 4lb lower after four lesser runs; handicapping case can be made but percentage call is to oppose. |

9st 9lb |
Losing run goes back to C&D win in March 2024 but in good form on this track for his last yard, albeit he didn't help his mark by running well from out of the weights in July and he's now 4lb higher than for a defeat here the time before; likely to go well for new stable, even so. |

2nd 14 (4) |
26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |

He's 9lb lower than when third in this last year and he returned to form when going close over C&D early this month; has a modest strike-rate but he can be bang there if backing up that latest performance. |
