22nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Win (off 2lb lower last August) and two seconds to his name from four runs over C&D; pulled hard and didn't see it out over 1m here last time, and this hold-up performer should fare better as long as it doesn't become tactical. |

Won here (7f, good to firm) last August and made an encouraging reappearance when fifth of 14 at Kempton (7f, AW) last month; does stay this far but could do with the ground drying out. |

Four-time Tapeta winner who resumes from eight months off on a career-high mark; gone well fresh before but is used to plying his trade in lesser company and may need some help from the handicapper. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Usually leads; has been off since winning narrowly at Redcar (5f, good to firm; handles good to soft) in August but he went close on his reappearance (6f) here in April and also gave a good account when runner-up in the Class 2 on this card 12 months ago; likely contender. |

Made all off 1lb lower at Chester (6f, good) in May and wasn't beaten far on any of four subsequent starts there, the latest over 5f from a tough draw; may not be seen to quite the same effect on this straight track, though. |

13yo who reappeared with a win at Southwell in May before a good third over this C&D next time; however, he was well beaten at the former track last time and needs to bounce back. |

13yo who reappeared with a C&D win in May before a good third at Wolverhampton (7f, Tapeta) last month; most of these have something to prove whereas he arrives with very solid credentials. |

1st Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

No sign at all of age wearying him during the winter, having won over C&D in November, and he returned from a break as fresh as paint with a 7f win at Southwell last month; back up 4lb; one of a few to consider. |

All 24 of his races have been on AW (won three of them) but he's finished down the field in two starts this summer, including over C&D 34 days ago; bit to prove. |

1st Aug 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Below par at Chelmsford last month but that was his first outing since finishing third over C&D in January and he could strip fitter now. |

15th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Record of 1-35 but his win was off 1lb lower at Brighton (7f) in August and he was only beaten around 2l over C&D last week; ties in with Stock Market on that latest form and he could be in the mix again. |

Refitted with blinkers when finally gaining a first win (switched to front-running) in 7f classified event at Brighton eight days ago; a repeat of that form in retained headgear will see him firmly in the picture again. |

0-11 and shown nothing in two turf runs; they've both come on soft ground and a drying surface may help but it was a low-key yard debut at Cork last month. |

10th Sep 2025 Yielding 0m 7f 0y |

10-race maiden; went close at Chelmsford in December but didn't back that up in two subsequent AW runs and bought for just 4,500gns since; off 239 days and others appeal more. |

1-20 with his win coming over C&D in February; 1lb lower than when beaten less than a length into second of 13 here in April and very much a player if reproducing that form. |

8st 10lb |
Turf wins at about 5f, here and in a classified event at Bath in June; mixed since the latter win but he wasn't far away in a better race than this over C&D in August (hood left off, now returns) under Myla Coppins and has claims on that form. |
