25th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Nine wins at this course (7f-1m4f), including three this year; remains in top form, having finished runner-up here on his last two starts; must be strongly considered on his favoured track. |
5/2 |

2nd 2 (2) |
9th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Took this in 2025 and he comes here better than ever, bagging a third course win of 2026 in February; posted a very good second in another 7f handicap here last time so rates a big player off an unchanged mark. |
5/4 |

2nd 4 (5) |
13th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Better than ever since dropped back to 7f, determinedly adding a third win from four C&D starts three weeks ago; this class didn't look beyond him when 1l third here before that, just behind stablemate Legal Reform; some wriggle room judged on peak RPRs even off a new career-high mark. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Four wins in 2025 and he wasn't far away over 1m1f here in September; in reasonable form this year and this trip will suit better than the 1m4f he ran over at York last time out but it will be a good effort if he can win this off his current mark. |
12/1 |

15th 13 (4) |
13th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Had four wins last year (three 1m, one 1m2f) and has run with credit on all four starts this term, but his only attempt over this far was in 2024; needs a career best to get his head in front again. |
12/1 |

3rd 8 (1) |
27th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Four wins last year and has run with credit on his three starts this term, albeit he is 6lb higher than his last winning mark; should run well but needs a career-best to get his head in front. |

1st Nov 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Four wins in a productive 2025, the latest over 7f (good) in September; good third of 21 at York (7f, good) three weeks ago; likely to go well again. |

10th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Won at Southwell (7f, AW) and Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) in the spring and has added two wins at Chester (7.5f/7f, good); she needs to transfer her recent improvement at unique Chester back to a regulation track but she's clearly thriving and her latest win has received a strong boost. |

23rd Oct 2025 Soft 1m 0f 75y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
His last win was in May 2023 and he was below par at Southwell (1m, AW) in August last time; however, he's run some good races this season on AW/good ground and his last win came on soft; might be worth a second look. |
16/1 |

25th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
More than two years since his latest win and although he nearly put that right over C&D in April he ran flat here next time; in fair form on turf in the meantime but others look more likely winners. |

Multiple winner who is running well and went down narrowly over the extended 1m here two months ago; thereabouts. |

In a good run of form right now and finished much the best over 1m at Yarmouth last week (under Taryn Langley); clear claims off 3lb higher. |

30th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Sole win from 19 starts came in a maiden at Kempton (1m, AW) in November 2023 when trained by Marco Botti; down the field in all four starts for this stable, including here over 1m last time (first-time blinkers); back up in trip in a switch of headgear. |

26th Jul 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |

Ex-Marco Botti 4yo with a strike-rate of 1-18; down the field in three runs for this yard and tries blinkers. |

16th Jun 2025 Soft 0m 7f 173y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Ex-Marco Botti; won a Kempton maiden (1m) in November 2023 and a few fair runs at up to 1m3f after that; well beaten at long odds on turf on both starts for present connections; best watched for now. |

28th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Returned to form to win at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) last month, scoring at that venue for a third time; has shown ability on turf and is not ruled out but his 0-6 record on grass isn't particularly convincing. |
4/1 |
|
1st 5 (2) |
12th May 2025 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Dual course winner last year who's slid to a dangerous mark, being 5lb lower than when favourite for a similar race over C&D in January; said to have hung left when below market expectations last time and goes back to cheekpieces from a hood. |
