28th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Three wins over 7f this year, two of them here, and he turned in another solid effort at Southwell 38 days ago (6f); no obvious reason why he wouldn't go well once again. |
9/2 |

3rd 4 (7) |
21st May 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Dual C&D winner, but has raced exclusively over 7f since December and was successful over that distance here four weeks ago; has to prove he still has the speed for this trip, but his course record makes him hard to dismiss. |
4/1 |
|
1st 6 (4) |
23rd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Eight wins on the AW include three at this track (6f/7f), the last win coming off 2lb lower at Wolverhampton last month; ran well when runner-up here 16 days ago and there's no reason why he can't go well again. |

11th Feb 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
C&D winner; in good order this winter, including when midfield over C&D last week (met trouble on a few occasions); Rossa Ryan retains the ride and he should be in the thick of it once again. |
7/2 |

5th 2 (9) |
4th Feb 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

2nd 2 (7) |
28th Jan 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Generally consistent, including over 6f (raced mainly at further); has made the frame at Southwell in three starts since returned to AW; won his last Kempton attempt (in late 2024); solid. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Narrow winner of a 6f handicap here (good to soft) in May and that has been followed by three similar efforts in defeat; creeping up the weights so she will need a bit more now back up to 7f. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 4 (7) |
27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Back to form when scoring over C&D (good to soft) last month and has made the frame twice since over C&D; she looks sure to be thereabouts. |
15/8 |

2nd 4 (1) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Back to winning ways when leading late in a C&D handicap last month (good to soft); not quite so good when fourth to Too Much Trevor nine days ago but it was still a fair effort; shouldn't be far away. |

Veteran who is on a losing run but he was finishing his race off strongly when second over C&D last month; a 2lb rise doesn't handicap him out of things and he's on the shortlist. |

30th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
10st 11lb |
Made all to win a 7f classified stakes at Newcastle 11 days ago when wearing cheekpieces for the first time; below best in two previous runs over this trip (has won at 1m). |
5/1 |
|
1st 12 (5) |
19th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
No win since 2023 but he did record his best effort since returning from a 296-day break when second in 1m Southwell classified event 15 days ago; claims if in similar form with cheekpieces added. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 9 (2) |
4th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
C&D winner in December 2023 (all three of his wins came in 2023); struggled on his first two starts since returning from a 296-day break but he ran better at Newcastle (1m, AW) 28 days ago; blinkers removed. |

28th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |

Has won three 6f events on AW since August, one here; last run at Pontefract forgiven as he was drawn wide but he was also below par here the time before when behind Mount Ruapehu. |
8/1 |

13th 11 (13) |
7th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 6 |

Prominent racer who has won three 6f events on AW since August; not at his best at Southwell last month and he has a wide stall to overcome returned to 5f. |

14th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Enthusiastic front-runner with three 6f wins to his name on AW, including here last October; ran his best race for some time when scoring at Chelmsford three weeks ago but even that will need bettering if he is to overcome a 4lb rise. |

21st Feb 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Maiden; picked up for 1,000gns out of Eve Johnson Houghton's yard in January; sent off favourite when third in C&D handicap on last week's stable debut (took keen hold); had been off for 55 days; may build on that but he carried his head high under pressure so doesn't look one to trust; maybe the refitted tongue-tie will help. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 4 (2) |
14th Feb 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
0-9 for Eve Johnston Houghton, one his best efforts when fourth of 11 over C&D in November; changed hands for 1,000gns last month and improvement needed on debut for David Evans; no headgear today. |
12/1 |

8th 9 (3) |
21st Dec 2024 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Still a maiden but this keen-going sort was fitted with cheekpieces when an encouraging fourth of 11 on his Tapeta debut at Southwell (7f) last month; he's one to consider eased 2lb now if his stamina holds out. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won twice over 1m at Southwell last year; struggled on her first four outings this term but returned to some form when fourth of 18 at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) last month; needs to build on that. |

4th 18 (1) |
14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 213y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Gained sole turf win at Doncaster but returns here with a big doubt over her current form, highlighted by those duck eggs next to her name. |
33/1 |
|
12th 10 (17) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Blows hot and cold and she's struggled on Tapeta this spring in her three runs after a break; plenty to prove and probably more potent at 1m these days. |
