16th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
8yo who has been in fine form this spring, winning at Kempton (1m, AW) last month then going close at Lingfield (1m, AW) and Nottingham (1m, good); there's every chance he'll be bang there once more. |
9/1 |

2nd 2 (7) |
9th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Ten-time winner split between turf and AW; his last success was at Kempton (1m) last month and he backed that up with a close third under a penalty at Lingfield (Polytrack); did well to hang in there from a wide draw last time and he's respected off same mark back on turf. |
13/2 |

3rd 1 (10) |
14th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Tended to do his winning in the past in batches, which bodes well under a 4lb penalty for last Monday's Kempton victory; well over two years snice he won off a mark this high and hasn't been at his best in two previous runs here but needs considering. |

29th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
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. |
33/1 |

9th 9 (9) |
28th Feb 2025 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
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. |
12/1 |

7th 6 (1) |
1st Feb 2025 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
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. |

28th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Scored with a fair degree of authority at Ayr (1m2f, good; from 2lb lower) in April 2025; absent since toiling at Chester 362 days ago, which raises concerns, but he did win over C&D on his 2024 reappearance; the betting should help to guide expectations. |
11/1 |

4 (5) |
31st May 2025 Good To Soft 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who was all the sharper for his reappearance when resuming his progression with a 2l win at Ayr (1m2f, good); the runner-up was 6l clear of the third so the handicapper could have put him up by more than 4lb; could be more to come from him now stepping up to 1m4f for the first time. |

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 |

5 (3) |
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. |

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. |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |

Fine looker, and for all that he's an infrequent winner (2-35), was once rated in the 90s; placed in a Class 4 over C&D (from 10lb higher) last June but he's been steadily regressive since; safer options elsewhere. |
