1st 7 (5) |
18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
All three wins on turf have been achieved on this course (7f/1m); beaten around 9l in two comeback outings in recent months but eased 3lb and capable of bouncing back to form to a form with a bang. |
9/2 |

4th 10 (11) |
10th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 3y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
All three wins on turf have been on the Newmarket July course (7f/1m) but he has been placed in two of his three starts over this C&D, including on soft; never featured on his reappearance 25 days ago and needs to build on that. |
16/1 |

10th 9 (4) |
16th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Inconsistent last term but won on the other Newmarket course (1m, good to firm) last June and he kept on well for third over 7f here (good) in September; possible player if at the top of his game on this reappearance. |

23rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Won at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) last December and was third there (7f) next time; absent since heavy defeat at Southwell (7f, AW) in February but he ran well last May following a break and should be fine back on turf and back down to 6f; not ruled out. |
10/1 |

12th 6 (12) |
20th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Notched his first win for this trainer at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) in December and again ran well there when third having been drawn wide 39 days ago; another wide draw to contend with here but he holds solid claims. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 8 (9) |
4th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |

On a good mark and suited by this C&D but out of form lately and has quite a bit to prove; non-runner 2.20 Ascot Friday. |

23rd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Gained his second C&D success when winning off a 2lb higher mark in February but he's been down the field in four starts since, including when missing the break at Lingfield 27 days ago; return to form is needed. |
8/1 |
|
10th 4 (7) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |

Well short of his best on his last three starts but he won off this mark at Southwell in early February (7f); capable on a good day but this isn't sure to be run to suit. |

29th Jan 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Familiar sight over 7f on other AW tracks, now having her first go at this one; sole win was at Wolverhampton in December, coming from off a good pace, but she followed that with a modest show off this 7lb higher mark; 7lb claimer is now enlisted. |

6th Jan 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |

Generally consistent; opened her account with 3l success over C&D last month in a race that set up nicely (came from off the good pace); could defy a 7lb rise provided the cards again drop right. |

25th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |

Hard to fault on the score of consistency this year but it's nearly two years since his last success and others appeal as likelier winners. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 3 (7) |
2nd Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Both wins came over C&D in 2023, but losing run now up to 17 despite a slipping mark; beaten only 3l into fifth of 13 at Southwell (1m, Tapeta) eight days ago and could play a part if building on that in the returning cheekpieces. |
5/1 |

12 (7) |
25th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |

Both wins over 7f at Wolverhampton; has form at 1m, too, but he hasn't excelled himself in two C&D starts and others have stronger claims. |

28th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Course regular; his latest third (8.6f) was a remote one behind an easy winner but it was still a creditable effort; no sign of age denting his enthusiasm and he should make another bold bid. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 5 (7) |
16th Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Three wins here in the winter to take his course tally to 11 but he's rather lost the plot since and doesn't often go beyond 7f these days; needs a revival. |

19th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 0y |

All four wins have come on AW over 7f, including here in March off 55; ran no sort of race when last seen here in July from a wide draw (much better draw here). |

|
3 (13) |
12th Jul 2025 Standard 1m 0f 0y |
10st 0lb |
All four wins from 45 attempts have come on AW over 7f; her last win was at this track in March from a mark of 55; well held in four starts since (one here and three on turf); not discounted now back on this surface. |

25th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |

Turf winner who has bagged four wins at this venue; returns following a two-month break (has gone well fresh) but he's more a place prospect than a win-only one. |
20/1 |
|
2 (5) |
22nd Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 80y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Returned to form with 8.6f AW win in March and comes here after two good efforts over 1m on turf; drops in grade here and should be fine over this extended 7f; might be the answer. |
7/2 |

8 (6) |
18th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 212y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Four-time AW winner who returned to form when scoring at Wolverhampton (8.6f) in March; record of 1-18 on turf but he went close at Chepstow (1m, good) last month and is a big player if he can back that up off unchanged mark. |

30th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Arrives in great form, having won three of his four turf starts this season, two of those here over 7f and the latest over C&D; up another 4lb but looked like he had a bit more up his sleeve last time; big player. |
9/4 |
|
1st 5 (2) |
21st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Thrives here - form figures 72111 - twice accounting for Vince Le Prince over 7f last month; weakened at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) 19 days ago, but this track is a much better fit, and he's unlikely to be hindered by rain; still fairly treated off 67 based on historic form. |

Well drawn when third in this race 12 months ago and he is 5lb lower this time around; arrives on the back of some good runs and another big run is expected. |
12/1 |
|
4th 7 (2) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Has done a lot of his racing over 6f and found his stamina coming into play late when winning a handicap run to suit over C&D three weeks ago; no complaints about a 2lb rise for that but this looks a bit stronger. |
7/2 |
|
1st 3 (7) |
1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
On a losing run but he got right back on track with fourth of 17 in handicap at Ascot (5f) last month; can go well off an unchanged mark. |
11/2 |
