8th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Winner of ten races on the AW including three over C&D; still 1lb below his last winning mark and recent efforts suggest he remains capable of playing a part. |

Ten-time AW winner; just a respectable fifth at Wolverhampton (7f) this month but remains on a workable mark and can't be ignored. |

23rd Jan 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
In good form in the autumn, winning over 6f at Wolverhampton and 7f at Leicester (heavy); not quite so good on last two starts (7f and 8.5f); could bounce back. |
12/1 |

4th Jan 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Versatile trip-wise, having won over 6f on this track in September and later a 7f turf claimer the following month; another sound effort over the extended 1m here next time and although his 7f handicap form isn't particularly compelling, he's in good enough form to be considered. |

3rd 8 (9) |
1st Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
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. |
8/1 |

1st 4 (11) |
7th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
13yo whose most recent success came at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) in November and he ran well when runner-up there when last seen 157 days ago; contender if ready to go on his return. |

9th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Won here over 7f in February either side of wins over this trip at Kempton; encountered a wide trip when down the field in a higher grade than this last time and he may well be able to bounce back. |
8/1 |
|
8th 11 (8) |
28th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
8st 7lb |
Arrives seeking a four-timer, two of the wins over C&D, and he hasn't been treated punitively by the assessor having gone up just 6lb; this is a much stiffer test of his credentials but there are no doubts surrounding his wellbeing. |
12/1 |
|
1st 6 (8) |
4th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Has started 2026 with wins over C&D and in a small field at Wolverhampton (7f); only 1lb higher on the hat-trick bid but this is more competitive and he's drawn widest. |

5th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Serial slow starter who's done most recent racing over 7f and looked to find this trip stretching her a couple of times; capable if getting away and finding the race setting up for her but she's been expensive to follow in 0-50 company latterly. |
12/1 |
|
8th 1 (7) |
24th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Placed in all three starts since dropped to this level, twice finishing runner-up over C&D last month; creditable effort when third of 11 at Lingfield (7f, Polytrack) 12 days ago considering she was drawn wide and blew the start; major player. |
11/4 |
|
3rd 2 (11) |
12th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Finished second in two 7f classified events at Southwell last month, collared close home on the second occasion; this C&D winner is one of two solid candidates for her connections. |

25th Feb 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Easy win in a 7f handicap last month but that race rather fell apart and the handicapper took no chances with a 6lb hike; unable to threaten back here 17 days ago; effective over C&D but others appeal more. |
10/1 |
|
7th 7 (8) |
8th Feb 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Back to winning ways when readily accounting for seven rivals over C&D 12 days ago; the short-priced favourite fluffed the start there and the race may not have taken much winning; a 6lb rise asks a stiffer question of her. |
5/1 |

34-race maiden who has flattered to deceive on occasions; returning to 1m (attempted once in 2023) not the obvious answer. |

14th May 2025 Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Has shown enough to think she could win races, but she's currently 0-33 and she didn't really threaten behind Banana here on her reappearance nine days ago (5f, firm); the extra distance should help, as may a change of headgear, but others appeal more for win purposes. |
