20th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
11-time course winner who defied this mark over C&D in December; some creditable efforts since but he has been a bit up and down and was only sixth behind Anthropologist here last time; others preferred. |
16/1 |

6th 5 (9) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
11-time course winner, the latest over C&D in December, and he twice finished placed over C&D last month; certainly of interest on that form but this 12yo has gone off the boil on his last two starts. |

14th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Failed to fire at Newcastle last week but this veteran had run two fine races in defeat beforehand; fully effective at this track too so no great surprise were he to rebound quickly. |

27th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Six-time course winner, including twice from the front over C&D this winter; 4lb higher than for his last win and he's never defied a mark this lofty, but the promising Harry Vigors takes off 7lb and he may make a bold bid. |
6/1 |

8th 7 (1) |
21st Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Six-time course winner who scored over C&D last month but that was a narrow success and he's been vulnerable in both runs since; looks weighted near his best and others are more persuasive. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 5 (8) |
6th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Two 1m wins here this winter but more to prove at this trip; 3.5l behind Flowstate here 19 days ago and others look better treated. |

10th Jul 2025 Soft 0m 5f 182y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Front-runner who won here over 7f last season (first-time blinkers); below her best at Newcastle (the scene of her three other wins) when last seen 103 days ago and now steps into class 4 company for the first time. |
12/1 |

8th 5 (9) |
29th Mar 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Front-runner who has turned in a string of good course runs since November, winning three times; latest second (6f) represented further improvement; another 2lb higher but set to go well again. |
9/2 |

2nd 2 (1) |
22nd Mar 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

21st Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Poor strike-rate (1-30); beaten a neck over 6f at Southwell (Class 6) in February but less productive in three subsequent appearances (6f-7f), although with mitigating circumstances (saddle slipped) latest. |
11/2 |
|
5th 5 (10) |
11th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Winless since August 2024 but he comes here in decent nick, fifth of nine in 7f Lingfield handicap 17 days ago; place prospects off an easing mark. |
8/1 |
|
5th 1 (9) |
25th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Effective at 6f and 7f but his sole win was in a Carlisle novice in August 2024; went close off this mark at Southwell (6f, Tapeta) last month but was never involved when a remote fourth there last time; that was behind a handicap blot but he needs to step up again after that. |

100-1 when unseating at the start in a Class 4 AW handicap last week on return from a lengthy break; this is more his level but has a bit to prove on the wellbeing front. |

19th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Three-time C&D winner, latterly after a five-month break off 4lb lower last August; another solid effort fresh when not far behind Lord Capulet and The Green Man four weeks ago and is 7lb better off with the winner; can miss the break but is considered. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 7 (6) |
20th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Has a fine record over C&D including three wins, four seconds and four thirds; didn't fire here in his final run last year but he remains feasibly treated on his best form and his last win was after a break; needs watching in the market back from 139 days off. |
12/1 |

3rd 7 (10) |
4th Nov 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Unplaced in his three turf runs but a three-time winner on the AW and returns to grass in a good run of form; hard to dismiss. |

4yo who went the wrong way for Brian Ellison and there's been no revival in his two races for new yard; has now finished last on his last four outings; off nearly three months again and tries his first headgear. |
