20th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 0y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Three-time AW winner at a modest level on Flat; beaten long way in two similar events over 2m at Hereford recently; steps up in trip but easy to dismiss. |

21st May 2026 Good 1m 7f 217y Class 6 |

Longstanding maiden; effective at the track and ran creditably over 1m4f here last week; still looks opposable for win purposes. |

29th Apr 2026 Good 1m 4f 104y Class 6 |

Placed several times (including C&D) but this 10yo remains a longstanding maiden and failed to beat a rival on her Newcastle reappearance seven weeks ago. |

20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 87y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Won on the Flat here (2m, soft) in November; fourth on hurdle debut here (1m7f, good to soft) later that month and improved when runner-up at Kelso (2m, good to soft) in December; he's high on the list today. |

9th Oct 2025 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Course regular who landed a fourth win here (his third over this trip) when 28-1 and beating Edwardtheninth one month ago; flopped under a 5lb penalty the following week (Team Endeavour second) but that tactical race may be best ignored; could well bounce back. |
7/1 |

5th 1 (4) |
19th Sep 2025 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Won his fourth race at this track and third over C&D when scoring at 28-1 last Thursday on his return from a break; 5lb penalty doesn't leave him well in but this is a weak event. |

21st May 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
A lot of years since his trainer saddled a Flat winner and he'll do very well to end the run, back from almost a year off and from 6lb out of the handicap under Venetia Thompson (0-7 under both codes currently). |

Both wins on AW, the latest over three years ago; well held on AW at Southwell when last seen and not hard to look elsewhere. |

10st 12lb |
Three-time Flat winner (1m-1m6f) for Richard Hannon; having only his fifth start over hurdles when scoring by 15l at Southwell (2m, good) eight days ago; 7lb penalty shouldn't preclude another big effort. |

Regressive on the Flat and tailed off returned to hurdles in March; limited appeal now attempting a handicap (1lb wrong). |

18th Mar 2026 Good 1m 7f 171y Class 4 |

A declining force on the Flat and his return to hurdles (second attempt) over C&D last Wednesday saw him beaten 52l at 300-1. |

25th Oct 2025 Good 2m 6f 151y Class 4 |

Disappointed on a filthy day at Hexham last time but probably best judged on eariler efforts on a sound surface; will need to raise game if he's to win this, though. |

3rd Oct 2025 Good 2m 7f 63y Class 5 |

Launched handicap hurdle career with two wins this spring, the first over C&D on good ground; slightly disappointing when well-held third at Perth (3m, good) three months ago but further progress remains possible. |

Launched handicap hurdle career with two wins this spring, the latter over C&D on good ground, and also ran well when clear third at Hexham (2m7f, good) 11 days ago; back in action just before latest 2lb rise takes effect and makes significant appeal. |

Modest ability in bumpers and over hurdles; tailed off in two AW Flat starts over shorter than this since joining current stable; the longer trip may help but he probably isn't good enough. |

Ex-Irish maiden who's never been involved in a finish and has done most racing over further; poor effort when well behind Mond last week and is hard to recommend. |

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. |
