19th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 133y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Held on to win at Kempton (2m, AW) in February and posted a solid effort when fourth at Southwell (2m, AW) 84 days ago; off since and this drop back in trip probably isn't ideal on his first outing on turf since September 2023. |

24th Feb 2026 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
2lb higher than when narrowly returning to winning form at Kempton (2m, Polytrack) 13 days ago; that was in a steadily run race, but he has a good record here (4711134) including two wins over this trip; respected. |

Shaped quite nicely from off the pace in a Southwell handicap three weeks ago (1m6f); dangerous if he can build on it and he is a C&D winner on a dangerous mark. |

Won a Sedgefield handicap hurdle in May (2m1f, good to firm) but has been rather disappointing over hurdles and on the Flat since; needs to bounce back. |

Two wins for Charlie Johnston in 2024, including over 1m4f on Tapeta; mixed form since and may be better for the run after 301-day break; refused to enter stalls on intended reappearance. |

Course winner for Charlie Johnston; struggled for this yard last summer and returns from nine months off tonight; did win first time out as a 3yo but would want to see some support before considering him. |

Dual winner last year for Charlie Johnston, also a 2m second on AW last December; best effort for this yard came when runner-up at Beverley (1m4f, good) in May but he's struggled in four starts since; steps back up in trip with a revival needed. |

Runner-up over 2m5f here last April and returned to that sort of form when third over that trip at Exeter (good); she was beaten nearly 7l and is off the same mark here, but perhaps this longer trip is what she needs. |

Ended long losing run when scoring off 1lb lower at Southwell (2m, Tapeta) in November; some creditable efforts since but his form nosedived at Southwell 11 days ago and he needs to bounce back from that heavy defeat. |

Back in excellent form after 12 months off and landed 1m6f handicap at Bath nine days ago; up 3lb but this gutsy front-runner is not taken lightly. |

Won on fast ground last May at Salisbury (1m6f) and Bath (11.5f); tailed off later that month but his recent reappearance here was a step back in the right direction; each-way claims if he's come on from that run. |

Was snapping a losing run when prevailing narrowly at Lingfield (1m4f) but then followed up over the same C&D ten days ago, defying a 4lb penalty without being overly pressed; only 2lb higher for this despite another penalty, but stamina for 2m is unproven. |
