31st May 2025 Good To Soft 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Six AW wins since December, including a four-timer in February/March after the cheekpieces went on; four defeats have followed but he was staying on again when hampered in the closing stages over the extended 1m2f here last time, suggesting this return to a longer trip may suit. |

13th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
11-time AW winner including four at this track (7f/1m2f); has a patchy record this year but he came from the rear to finish runner-up in a classified event at Wolverhampton (8.6f) last Tuesday; should get a decent tow into this race and he's respected back on Polytrack. |

7th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |

Prolific winner down the years; not at very best this summer but he drops into a classified race with apprentice Myla Coppins taking off a useful 7lb; may need more of a test these days. |

Good runs on the AW earlier this year but unconvincing since those and has another switch on the headgear front. |

30th May 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 216y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Five-time winner on AW at Wolverhampton but 0-16 on turf; handicapper's giving him a chance and, while recent efforts don't suggest he'll take it, he did run well both previous visits here. |

16th Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Couple of absences in recent times and he has regressed (well drawn when faring better in a soft-ground handicap last time); goes well here, though, and holds each-way claims. |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |

Both wins came on AW in 2023 when trained by Richard Hughes; has gone into freefall since and was last of 11 at Bath last month. |

Well handicapped on last season's best forrm (AW) but he ended the year with a whimper and returns from a 135-day break with an inexperienced amateur booked. |

31st Aug 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Frequent slow starter who's consistent but hard to win with and who will always need things to fall just so; on a fair mark, though, under Billy Loughnane (ordinary 2-33 for the yard), having run well over C&D early in the month. |
6/1 |

3rd 6 (5) |
6th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Sole win on the AW came at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) in December; has posted some good placed efforts since and left the impression he's still in form when sixth of 13 there over 1m3f last time; can be slowly away but is considered. |
6/1 |

25th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |

8th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Six-time winner, the latest over C&D in May off 2lb lower; underfoot conditions shouldn't faze him but he does need to rebound from a lesser effort at Chester six weeks ago. |
10/1 |

6th 9 (5) |
26th Jul 2025 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 4 |

Only 3lb lower when beating five others at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) in May but he was beaten a long way over hurdles last time having bled from the nose. |
