30th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Has done most of his racing over 7f, winning six times (all on AW); back in form with placed efforts on last two starts, latest at Kempton; close third at this venue in sole 1m attempt; again has an each-way shout. |
7/1 |

3rd 6 (5) |
8th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Last 11 AW starts have been on Tapeta (231115111852), but he was beaten less than a length into third of 14 on his last visit here (1m); back up 1lb for his latest second of 12 at Southwell (7f)), but still 1lb below his last winning mark; respected. |
6/1 |

2nd 7 (12) |
21st Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Won six times on Tapeta (twice over C&D) in first half of 2025, despite his tendency to race too freely; back on a good mark now and bettered a low-key reappearance run when respectable fifth over C&D ten days ago but outside draw a negative today. |

9st 5lb |
Arrives at the top of his game, scoring twice over 1m here before a good second of 12 in 8.5f Wolverhampton handicap 12 days ago; firmly in the picture off the same mark. |

2nd 1 (11) |
19th Apr 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
C&D winner just under a year ago and comes into this on a hat-trick after two wins at Southwell (1m, Tapeta), the latest a narrow success under Andrea Pinna 11 days ago; up another 2lb and although his wide draw isn't ideal, he has to be respected in his current mood. |

2-39, but made the frame over 6f/7f here in her first three starts of the year; not the greatest surprise if she did so again (had excuses last time). |

Four wins in a productive 2025, the latest over 7f (good) in September; good third of 21 at York (7f, good) three weeks ago; likely to go well again. |

9st 9lb |
Won at Southwell (7f, AW) and Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) in the spring and has added two wins at Chester (7.5f/7f, good); she needs to transfer her recent improvement at unique Chester back to a regulation track but she's clearly thriving and her latest win has received a strong boost. |

Not far behind Spartan Fighter here last month and now 11lb better off; not so good at Southwell last time when the cheekpieces were left off; headgear back on today. |
6/1 |

9th 8 (8) |
22nd Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Often slowly away, as when winning over C&D last February; three 6f runs since October have all been creditable and the step back up in trip could give him a lift. |
8/1 |

2 (10) |
18th Nov 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Close second in a 6f course classified last month but not in the same form at Southwell twice since, taking her record to 2-39; Liam Bailey in form but others are still preferred |

11th 6 (12) |
10th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
C&D winner two years ago but that remains her last success; close second at this level at Newcastle last month (6f) but faded into sixth over C&D a fortnight ago; capable of a prominent showing. |
7/1 |

6th 5 (6) |
24th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

25th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Five-time 7f winner here (well suited by a good test over that trip) who's currently 0-17 over C&D; patchy since a win here off 1lb lower in February and others have more pressing claims. |
16/1 |
|
18th 1 (22) |
29th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Still on a realistic mark and several good AW runs to his name already this year; 0-13 on turf and 0-31 at 1m+ so he will need to break new ground to come out on top today; Simon Walker booked but others might be seeing it out more strongly. |
10/1 |

5th 11 (1) |
21st Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Dual course winner (1m/7f) this year, following a layoff; managed only sixth when favourite here (1m) 11 days ago but has a big role to play from the inside stall if quickly back in the groove. |
