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. |

2nd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
All six wins have been at this track (7f/1m) but he's been below his best here on his last three starts; may have needed the run here in July but others have stronger claims. |
33/1 |

25th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Bagged a fourth C&D success in February; off since a below-par seventh over C&D in March though so needs to hit the ground running. |
33/1 |
|
7th 2 (8) |
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. |

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 |

Three course wins this winter, including at this trip; solid placed efforts the last twice and likely to go well once again. |

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. |

27th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Newcastle regular (four wins) but well held in both visits here; still 4lb above his last winning mark and others make greater appeal. |
14/1 |

8th 14 (7) |
1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
Four-time AW winner, the latest at Newcastle (7f) in May, and good second at Chester (7f, good to soft) in June; however, only fifth of ten at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) last time and has to leave that run behind if he's to get off the mark on turf at the seventh attempt. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |

All four wins at Newcastle but nothing wrong with latest second at Chester, especially as he missed the break; good chance off 1lb higher. |

1st Jun 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
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. |
