20th Jul 2025 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 3 |
10st 10lb |
Dual 1m6f AW Flat winner for Joseph Parr; didn't jump that well when pulled up on hurdles debut; should improve. |

1st Jul 2025 Good To Firm 2m 0f 70y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Won two low-grade 1m6f AW handicaps for Joseph Parr when fitted with cheekpieces in February; changed hands for 8,500gns in May; goes without headgear on stable/hurdle debut but will be fine stamina-wise; market may guide. |

29th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Simply bumped into one on a rare turf start six weeks ago and returns to Polytrack off the same mark; cheekpieces go on for the first time in almost a year and his claims are obvious. |
6/4 |

2nd 5 (4) |
18th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 68y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Has resumed in good form and a 2lb rise for his recent AW win here under Ashley Lewis seems fair; has yet to win on turf (only run on it once since 2023) but otherwise has a decent chance of following up. |

It's now 15 runs since his last success but this course winner posted a solid third of ten over C&D 17 days ago; he's one for the shortlist. |

28th Jul 2025 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
He's just 1lb higher than when winning over C&D last December but he returned from a break with a heavy defeat over C&D in May and was again well beaten at Ffos Las last month; a major turnaround is required. |

30th Jun 2025 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Three of his five wins have come over C&D, including a division of this race last year when rated 5lb higher; not shone yet this winter and he arrives with a bit to prove. |

16th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Three-time course winner (1m6f) but he's been out of sorts in his last five runs and latest was at this track three weeks ago; has something to prove and his tactical speed will be tested back at this trip. |

14th Sep 2025 Heavy 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 6lb |
Kept on well to score off this mark at Chepstow (2m, good to firm) in July and also has a soft-ground success on his record but both runs last month were below par and conditions are probably not ideal for him today. |

27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Thriving since the cheekpieces went on in December, winning six of his nine starts in them and that includes his last four races (on Southwell Tapeta four runs back); the big majority of those races were on AW, with a comfortable success at Lingfield last time (has never run at this track); up another 5lb and into a better race but he may well carry on the good work. |

Thriving in 2026 and he gamely made all when completing a hat-trick in 2m Goodwood handicap ten days ago; up another 2lb but this likeable dual C&D scorer is a big player once more. |

20th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Won off her basement mark when dropped back to 1m at Chepstow (soft) in June but has not really built on that performance since and was just a respectable fifth behind James Park Woods over C&D last month. |

Dual AW winner who is 0-7 over hurdles; good first run in cheekpieces when second at Ffos Las (2m4f, good to soft) but never got involved the last time (2m6f); perhaps a fast-run race back at this distance will benefit her. |

26th Jun 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |

Dual AW winner; 0-6 over hurdles; in first-time cheekpieces when runner-up over 2m4f at Ffos Las (good to soft; fine on good) and she wasn't stopping; interesting now sent further. |

Dual AW winner; beaten 5.5l over C&D (good) a month ago on first run for 187 days and could be sharper for that outing, and benefit from the new cheekpieces; one to consider. |

18th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

Out of the frame in all 14 starts and was beaten 12l in a small-field handicap at Chelmsford (1m6f) last month; has lots to prove back in trip and this looks tough at the weights; change of headgear. |
