All three wins have been at this track but losing run is mounting up despite some commendable shows this year; others preferred. |

28th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Three wins on Wolverhampton AW; 0-15 on turf but he kept persevering when a close third of 16 over C&D two starts ago in a higher grade than this; capable of better than he showed back at Wolverhampton since and has to be of interest returned to this C&D. |

5th Oct 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Eight-time winner split between turf and Polytrack; his last success was a dead-heat at Lingfield (7f, AW) in February but he's been placed four times since including a rallying third at Brighton last time; dangerous. |
7/2 |

3rd 1 (9) |
24th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Three-time course winner who remains consistent despite his age; recent strike-rate isn't great but he's down to 0-55 for the first time since returned to turf and Billy Loughnane is an obvious plus. |
7/1 |

4th 5 (5) |

Largely consistent 9yo who ended a lengthy losing run when dead-heating at Lingfield (7f, AW) in February and comes here after a pretty good second at Windsor (1m, good to firm) last month; suited by this track; likely contender. |

9st 6lb |
Campaigned mostly in Class 6, including for 12 AW wins, the most recent in August; has remained in form on turf since; could go well but is no certainty to add to his tally, being 0-15 in Class 5. |

28th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Prolific AW winner who is 2-25 on turf, most recently over this C&D in July 2024; creditable return to grass when second of 13 at Yarmouth (7f, good) 11 days ago but likely that more will be needed. |
10/1 |

Kept on well to score at Lingfield (7f, AW) last month, his 14th career success; doesn't often run on turf nowadays, though, and current mark is his highest since 2023. |

Over two years since the last of his seven wins; several good runs in 2025, including when keeping on for second over 1m four weeks ago; 1lb higher this evening but back at his optimum trip. |

13th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
His heyday was two winters back but he still won last July (1m1f on turf) and is often thereabouts, including on Tapeta; not totally ruled out despite the 106-day absence. |
10/1 |

4th 1 (5) |
18th Sep 2025 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Landed a sixth success when winning a 12-runner handicap at Redcar (1m1f, good to soft) in July; kept at in when fourth at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) under a penalty six days later and excuses both starts since; very much respected. |

3rd 4 (9) |
2nd Sep 2025 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |

Has won three times over 7f here; best run this year when winning over 1m1f at Redcar three runs back; stamina to prove on first run at 1m4f (can pull hard). |

Off the mark for the season when winning a 1m2f handicap at Doncaster 16 days ago, suited by the strong pace; 3lb higher mark to contend with and his stamina isn't assured. |

Some return to form in his last two races and wasn't far away over 1m here last time when a stronger pace would have helped; interesting returned to further, having won over this far. |

23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Latest Nottingham third in this headgear was a bit better and he'll be a threat to all if recapturing the form he showed when a close second over C&D (good to firm) off 2lb higher in April, particularly with Jack Callan taking an additional 3lb off. |

Longstanding maiden who didn't appear to get home when fourth in a classified at Ffos Las (1m2f, good) in August back in cheekpieces (retained); on a career-low mark and Hector Crouch booked (1-2 for the stable this year) but has become disappointing. |

11th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Can be a handful in the preliminaries (bolted before start/got loose on two occasions) but was never seriously challenged when making all on Lingfield AW (7f) 18 days ago; back up 3lb and might cope with return to 6f with forcing tactics again; more obvious than many. |

23rd Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Yet to be placed in eight starts, though it looked as though he would apprciate the return to this trip when fifth of ten on his Wolverhampton return (6f, Tapeta) three weeks ago; still needs a bit more, though. |
5/1 |

3 (6) |
2nd Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
0-7 and lightly raced since a promising 2yo debut; out of the frame in two starts over 7f here in the spring (in cheekpieces, now removed); returns from another 104 days off and only of interest if backed. |
