2nd Oct 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Best coming off a solid pace, as was the scenario when a winner last week at Southwell (1m, AW); 4lb well in with no penalty to carry. |

26th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
No win since last September but he's fallen in the weights and looked much more competitive again on last two outings, under Cara Tuke on first occasion; has a bit more to prove here but not totally dismissed. |

31st Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Newcastle win this time last year came off a 7lb higher mark; well backed on the drop to this company at Carlisle a few weeks ago, when faring much better, and is one to consider (likely to be dropped in as usual from the outside stall). |

17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
C&D winner in May and also runner-up here in June/July (all good to firm; won on soft in Ireland earlier in career); has ended the summer in equally good form, including getting his head back in front at Newcastle (1m) 12 days ago but he's yet to win back to back in his 54-race career. |

27th Feb 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Enhanced his excellent record over C&D when extending his lead at the line 13 days ago with three of these rivals left trailing in his wake; up another 6lb but Warren Fentiman claims a useful 7lb (different claimer took away 3lb last time); very solid. |
7/4 |
|
7 (10) |
14th Feb 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Has form figures of 1111351 over C&D and he hit a personal best with that latest win 13 days ago; 6lb higher back up in grade but he still looks feasibly treated and should be in the thick of things again. |

20th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
11-time course winner who defied this mark over C&D in December; some creditable efforts since but he has been a bit up and down and was only sixth behind Anthropologist here last time; others preferred. |
16/1 |
|
6th 5 (9) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
11-time course winner, the latest over C&D in December, and he twice finished placed over C&D last month; certainly of interest on that form but this 12yo has gone off the boil on his last two starts. |

17th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
A regular at Southwell, where he has a win and five places; had slipped in the weights before creditable efforts over 6f and 1m last two starts; today's intermediate trip should be ideal and he's high on the list. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 6 (6) |
2nd Oct 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Four-time turf winner but he's 1-31 on AW and was well held back in this sphere at Southwell (7f) last week; cheekpieces are now added but he has work to do on this return to sprinting. |
14/1 |
|
5th 7 (4) |
24th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Rather a modest third returned to turf last time; only 1-30 on AW but gained the success over C&D (off current mark) and holds a fighting chance back here. |

31st Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Only 1-32 and should have run better in a classified here last week as he stays 7f. |
14/1 |

6th 1 (4) |
25th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has modest 1-31 strike-rate but gave good account when third of 13 in 6f handicap here last month and now dips into this basement grade for the first time; fine over 7f; high on the list. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 5 (6) |
26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Inconsistent 5yo whose losing run goes back 27 races and he was below par at Wetherby last week, however he was a close second at Ripon (6f, good) prior to that and is effective here; each-way claims if back on song. |

Four wins at Wolverhampton include this race (off 1lb higher) last year; not solid on recent form but is interesting returned to this venue and back down in grade (3-5 in Class 6). |

2nd Oct 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |

Regressive 8yo who has not won since last summer and was particularly disappointing on turf a fortnight ago; needs to turn things around. |
14/1 |
|
9th 10 (6) |
17th Sep 2026 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Dual course winner (1m/1m2f) but his last success was 13 months ago and he's finished down the field in last five runs; on reduced mark but he needs to raise his game and it would be a negative if the ground dries out. |
