20th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
His win in July took C&D record to 3-4 (good to soft and good to firm); had a very awkward start here since and was soon tailed off (stablemate Cherry Cobbler was second) but, given his fine strike-rate here, he can't easily be left out. |
10/1 |

9th 6 (4) |
31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
All four turf wins have been gained on this course (7f/1m); beaten around 9l in his first two runs this season but he returned to form when beating Jumby over C&D (good to firm) 13 days ago; only 2lb higher here and has leading claims if he can back that up. |
7/2 |

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. |

25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Didn't find much after travelling strongly at Newbury (6f, good to firm) last month but that was his first run since February and he's on a good mark if the outing brought him on. |
12/1 |
|
7th 4 (4) |
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 |

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. |

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. |

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 |

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. |

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. |

Three course wins in the first half of the year, the latest (6f, good) off a 3lb lower mark; his form has dipped on his last two starts but a revival wouldn't be a great surprise. |

11th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 8y Class 4 |

In good form at Windsor early in the summer but a couple of below-par efforts since, including back there; wants a proper test over an easy 5f and will need to bounce back to his best off this mark. |
6/1 |

11th 11 (1) |
27th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 3 |

Ended a losing sequence over 5f here in June; not at his best when beating just two in 5f Ascot handicap 16 days ago but no surprise to see him bounce back returned to this track. |
