7th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Spent most of his career running over a bit shorter in better company than this; cracked late on his return from an absence, having been gelded, at Salisbury a fortnight ago and is entitled to have come on for that; one to consider. |

Dangerously handicapped on old form but looked out of sorts during five-race turf/AW spell from August to January; gelded in March; needs to have been revitalised by 203-day break. |

4th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Recorded the 18th win of his long career when leading late over C&D in February (for Myla Coppins); ran well behind a thriving rival at Lingfield next time but he failed to fire over C&D a fortnight ago (finished behind Coloane); he has bounced back from quiet runs before so can't be ruled out. |
6/1 |
|
8th 7 (7) |
20th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
18th success of his long career when getting the better of Antiquity (winner since and runs in the 6.00) over C&D last month; bumped into an in-form opponent at Lingfield two weeks ago (7f; blinkered first time); another 2lb rise is not ideal but he is likely to give his running. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 2 (4) |
5th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Well into the veteran stage but he retains plenty of enthusiasm and ran on well to beat a subsequent winner (Age Of Time third) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) three weeks ago, his 18th success; a 2lb rise not excessive but late in the day to be giving blinkers a go (has run well in new headgear before). |

Goes well here; all four AW wins have been over C&D; third over C&D last month but below his best at Bath since; looks sure to go close at his favoured track. |
14/1 |
|
8th 6 (10) |
13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
His last four wins have come on AW at Wolverhampton; six C&D runs have yielded formfigures of 243234; third at Wolverhampton 12 days ago (for today's rider) and he should be in the thick of the action once again. |
4/1 |

3rd 10 (2) |
1st Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Three-time C&D winner, latterly off 4lb higher in February; fine on Polytrack but the return here is an obvious plus off a career-low mark and he's another with claims in an open handicap. |

16th Jun 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
All four wins have been at this track; his last success was 14 months ago but he's run plenty of good races since including when runner-up here (8.6f) 13 days ago; didn't get a smooth run in that race and has possibilities if he gets a good pace back at this trip. |

9st 3lb |
All four wins have come over 8.6f/9.5f here and now 7lb lower than when twice runner-up over 7f at this venue last October; his last four efforts raise serious doubts over his ability to capitalise, though. |

Four-time course winner who'll be happier back on Tapeta; now 6lb lower than when going in over C&D early in the year but needs a revival. |

5th 6 (6) |
5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |

Has had more AW than turf success; has gained both wins in this sphere at Nottingham (8.5f on good/good to soft); only midfield when returned to grass last time; others have stronger claims. |

15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 173y Class 6 |

Popped up at Southwell (1m) off a 2lb higher mark in January; the odd good run since but he needs to bounce back from a lacklustre AW run last month. |

All four wins have been on the AW, the last three at Kempton, most recently over 1m in June when last seen off a 4lb lower mark; went close here over 7f in April and can be competitive on his return from a 76-day break. |
11/4 |

10th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Justified favouritism in a C&D handicap in April off 5lb lower; beaten a nose at Lingfield later that month and then met trouble in running at Ripon last week; should remain competitive. |

6th 4 (2) |

5yo who was in top form on AW in the spring, with a win at Kempton (1m) being sandwiched by two seconds; showed some promise in May 2024 when he last raced on turf; key player if transferring good form back to grass. |
