6th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Goes well here; all four AW wins have been over C&D; third over C&D last month but below his best at Bath since; looks sure to go close at his favoured track. |
14/1 |

8th 6 (10) |
13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
His last four wins have come on AW at Wolverhampton; six C&D runs have yielded formfigures of 243234; third at Wolverhampton 12 days ago (for today's rider) and he should be in the thick of the action once again. |
4/1 |

3rd 10 (2) |
1st Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Three-time C&D winner, latterly off 4lb higher in February; fine on Polytrack but the return here is an obvious plus off a career-low mark and he's another with claims in an open handicap. |

13th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Five-time AW winner including over C&D; his last success was 17 months ago but he returned after a short break with an eye-catching fourth in a Wolverhampton handicap (6f, Tapeta) last week; didn't get much luck in that race and he's in the mix back up in trip; visor reapplied. |

4th 9 (1) |
7th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
His C&D third in March was his only effort of note since wind surgery last summer; it hasn't been a springboard to better things and he's not a solid option. |
12/1 |

4th 7 (1) |
3rd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
10st 3lb |
Rarely seen on turf these days even though he has won on it; only one piece of recent worthwhile form and jockey (who also owns him) is having her first ride in public; has dropped 8lb below his last winning mark, though, so could play a part if producing his best. |

17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 13y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Off the mark for the season when winning a 1m2f handicap at Doncaster 16 days ago, suited by the strong pace; 3lb higher mark to contend with and his stamina isn't assured. |
100/30 |

1st 3 (3) |
1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 43y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Some return to form in his last two races and wasn't far away over 1m here last time when a stronger pace would have helped; interesting returned to further, having won over this far. |
11/4 |
|
4th 4 (6) |
23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Latest Nottingham third in this headgear was a bit better and he'll be a threat to all if recapturing the form he showed when a close second over C&D (good to firm) off 2lb higher in April, particularly with Jack Callan taking an additional 3lb off. |

15th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 4f 5y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
AW winner in February who took another step forward when coming from last to first in ten-runner race at Chepstow (1m4f, soft) eight days ago, winning by just over 4l; Jack Callan was placed on him in his previous two starts (one here) and returns today, to help combat his 8lb rise. |
13/8 |

1st 1 (4) |
7th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Perhaps hasn't quite lived up to the promise of an AW win and a good turf run (1m2f, good to soft) in the spring but he's been running well in defeat and was caught out only by a well-treated one over C&D (good; tongue-tied added) last week; solid chance. |
2/1 |
|
6 (8) |
30th May 2025 Good To Soft 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Sole win over an extended 1m1f on the AW in February but he stays much further and wasn't beaten by a lack of stamina when third at Salisbury (1m6f, good to firm; first-time blinkers, retained) last week; acts on good to soft and major claims down in grade. |

16th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Veteran with eight AW wins to his name, including one last November and another this February; both were on Wolverhampton Tapeta (8.6f and 9.4f) and he showed enough in two runs last month to be considered, even though he's very rarely seen over this far nowadays. |

29th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Veteran with pretty good 8-54 AW strike-rate that includes two C&D wins (one on Fibresand); no longer the force of old but ran well off his lower turf mark a fortnight ago and has a fighting chance here. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 5 (5) |
14th Sep 2025 Heavy 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Much more prolific on AW but has a soft-ground C&D win on his CV; did not enjoy run of the race when sixth in 1m Chepstow classified in July, after a break, but still needs to build on that performance here. |

21st Apr 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Off the mark at the 12th attempt in a 0-50 classified event over C&D last month and his heavy defeat in a handicap back here a week later can be forgiven on account of the draw; better berthed this time and could go well. |

4th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 3f 140y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Scored at Wolverhampton (1m4f) in March; mainly in good form subsequently but not at his best when sixth of seven in 1m6f handicap here last month; the sort to bounce back. |
25/1 |

6th 5 (7) |
7th Aug 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Set plenty to do in a muddling race for amateurs when third at 8-15 at Catterick on latest Flat start (1m4f, good to firm); bit below-par over hurdles last time; first try at 1m6f. |
6/1 |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |

Four-time Flat winner who finished third in both his handicap hurdles, the latter at Market Rasen (2m, good) in May; seemed to give the leaders far too much rope when beaten at skinny odds on the Flat on Wednesday but that run was still good enough to confirm his wellbeing; shortlisted. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |

Strong at the finish when winning a C&D handicap last May off 1lb higher; retains all his ability, in the frame on his last two start, and going back over this trip will suit; one of two runners for the stable. |

27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |

Last of five wins came at this track (7f) in May 2025 off this mark; returned to form when beaten a head here (7f, good) 12 days ago but not sure the step back to 6f for the first time since February 2024 will be in his favour. |

16th Jun 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
All four wins have been at this track; his last success was 14 months ago but he's run plenty of good races since including when runner-up here (8.6f) 13 days ago; didn't get a smooth run in that race and has possibilities if he gets a good pace back at this trip. |

All four wins have come over 8.6f/9.5f here and now 7lb lower than when twice runner-up over 7f at this venue last October; his last four efforts raise serious doubts over his ability to capitalise, though. |
