16th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Veteran with eight AW wins to his name, including one last November and another this February; both were on Wolverhampton Tapeta (8.6f and 9.4f) and he showed enough in two runs last month to be considered, even though he's very rarely seen over this far nowadays. |

29th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Veteran with pretty good 8-54 AW strike-rate that includes two C&D wins (one on Fibresand); no longer the force of old but ran well off his lower turf mark a fortnight ago and has a fighting chance here. |

14th Sep 2025 Heavy 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Much more prolific on AW but has a soft-ground C&D win on his CV; did not enjoy run of the race when sixth in 1m Chepstow classified in July, after a break, but still needs to build on that performance here. |

13th Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Best handicap form when a close second of 11 on Wolverhampton AW (about 1m) last November but he hasn't been in much form this year, including back at Wolverhampton on Sunday. |

10th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Best effort when a close second of 11 over C&D last November, but not matched that form in three outings since and now 0-10; being 2lb wrong and drawn widest little help either. |

17th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Nine-race maiden but he ran some good races last season, including a third at Windsor (1m, good to firm) and a second at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW); looks interesting on that form and he had an excuse when dropped to 6f on Windsor reappearance last month; now has another crack at 7f but he's well handicapped if he can bounce back near best. |

Course regular; 0-7 since joining Tony Carroll but he was placed over C&D in November off a 3lb higher mark; minor money perhaps his best hope. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Hardy mare who landed four races on AW (1m to 9.5f) between February and April; also a previous four-time winner on turf but this is just her second crack at 1m2f on her 111th start; still not discounted. |

9yo who has won four times since February including twice over C&D; held in third when unpenalised at Wolverhampton last time but she wasn't beaten far and that was another creditable effort; should be in the mix again off 3lb higher. |

25th Jun 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Won three of her first nine starts for Mick Appleby; a particularly slow start cost her dear when fourth to Maids Head at Chelmsford last time (sent off favourite, perhaps as she was unpenalised for winning an apprentice contest); 2lb higher here. |

31st May 2025 Good To Soft 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Six AW wins since December, including a four-timer in February/March after the cheekpieces went on; four defeats have followed but he was staying on again when hampered in the closing stages over the extended 1m2f here last time, suggesting this return to a longer trip may suit. |

19th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Steadily on the downgrade now but has been placed in two handicaps here this season (1m/7f) and also ran well in a recent classified race here (7f); suited by fast ground and probably worth another crack at 1m2f; more appealing than some of these. |
6/1 |

7th Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |

Had two wins elsewhere since a course win last June; further good runs here back in the spring but returned from 78 days off yesterday (C&D) and, having led for much of the race, trailed in sixth of the eight runners; these classified terms are favourable. |

17th Jan 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
Won his first four starts on Tapeta after the visor went back on, rising 34lb in the process; however, he could only manage a midfield finish off this mark at Southwell (7f, Tapeta) on Wednesday which means he has something to prove all of a sudden. |

Last of five wins came at this track (7f) in May 2025 off this mark; returned to form when beaten a head here (7f, good) 12 days ago but not sure the step back to 6f for the first time since February 2024 will be in his favour. |
