23rd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Won last season's Great St Wilfrid at Ripon off a 7lb higher mark; didn't run badly at Nottingham (5f, good) on penultimate start and a wide draw offers an excuse at Chester since. |

8th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Won last season's Great St Wilfrid at Ripon off a 5lb higher mark; didn't run badly at Nottingham 12 days ago (5f, good) but he has a double-figure stall to contend with and could prove vulnerable. |

26th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 3 |

Has a better strike-rate on AW than on turf and has done all his winning over 6f/7f; inconsistent since last success; 0-12 over 5f and doesn't look the answer. |

2nd 8 (3) |
21st May 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Not an easy horse to win with but he had a solid AW campaign and is on a feasible mark; below par back on turf 12 days ago and needs to bounce back quickly. |
10/1 |
|
8th 5 (1) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
He has turned in a string of good runs on the AW since November but such consistency ensures he gets little respite from the handicapper; others may prove better treated today. |

4th 5 (2) |
13th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Ultra-consistent RPRs this winter, and just a short-head away at Wolverhampton latest from adding a belated second win on synthetics and first on Tapeta (7f); 4lb better off with Legal Reform for a 1.5l defeat over the same C&D on Boxing Day, and possibilities off an unchanged mark. |

3rd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Moving up to 1m4f worked well in December and comparable form at 1m6f/2m since, including another win three starts back; he's come up a bit short in warmer races this year, though, including behind Align The Stars at Kempton, and none of his turf form (admittedly at up to 1m2f) is close to this mark. |
25/1 |
|
10th 6 (6) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Won three times in December (1m/1m4f) and continued in good form, getting back on the scoresheet in a five-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (1m6f, Tapeta) last month; didn't run badly over 2m at Kempton last Saturday; drops back in trip here and may find today's company to be too competitive. |
40/1 |

6th 2 (3) |
28th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 2 |
9st 13lb |
Basically progressive in a busy winter AW campaign and probably stays 2m, although the last three wins were over 1m4f (twice) and 1m6f (latest start); raised another 3lb but needs respect. |

20th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Stays 1m but all eight of his wins have come over 7f, the latest at Kempton 18 days ago; should get a good pace to aim at and he holds each-way claims again. |
11/2 |

1st 7 (6) |
2nd Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Well held after a slow start here (1m) 12 days ago but that was after two solid placed efforts at Lingfield (7f/1m); losing run is now up to 15 but he's on a dangerous mark and could get involved if he gets a good pace and some luck; cheekpieces removed. |

28th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
0-13 on AW and 0-11 for current yard, runner-up both starts here; largely consistent this autumn/winter at Kempton and Newcastle but others are more persuasive for the win. |
9/1 |
|
5th 2 (7) |
6th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Record of 0-12 on AW and 0-10 for current yard but he has proved largely consistent at Kempton since returned to this sphere; frame possibilities if staying at the same level and win possibilities on best form. |
11/2 |

4th 3 (11) |
19th Jan 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Losing run up to 16 but much better when third of 12 over C&D last month; that race has produced winners since and he races off the same mark, but the outside stall presents a problem; blinkers return. |

18th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Seems equally effective over 7f or 1m; back on a mark he can win off and was noted doing some nice late work in race he'd won the previous year over the shorter trip of 7f last time; draw for this prominent racer could have been kinder. |
10/1 |

5th 2 (7) |
31st Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Dual C&D winner who recorded another good C&D effort when third of 12 just before Christmas; not in the same form when fifth of six over 1m here nine days later but he's capable of bouncing back. |
7/2 |

9 (11) |
29th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

All four wins on Polytrack including two over C&D, the latest in July; again ran well when second of 12 at Lingfield (1m, Polytrack) 15 days ago, but he has an awkward draw. |

27th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Three-time winner at sprint trips; runner-up over 1m at Chelmsford in January and 1m2f hasn't suited on her last two starts; her reduced mark is a plus and cheekpieces are added, but others have more pressing claims. |

11th 4 (7) |
27th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

8th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |

Three-time winner at sprint trips but it was over 1m when a staying-on second here last time; was no match for the winner but that effort offers hope for her staying this far. |

Now 2lb lower than when winning a 7f handicap here on New Year's Eve; also ran well at Southwell (6f) in February but his last three runs have been underwhelming; needs a full revival. |
