31st Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Best known for his Newcastle work but goes well here too; consistent enough and the handicapper has given him a chance, back on the AW and given another try without the usual hood. |

6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Ran respectably, albeit without being able to justify favouritism, at Chepstow latest start and is back on last winning mark; however, he's a quirky sort who comes with some risk; steps back up in class. |

8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Five of his six wins have come on AW; didn't look straightforward without usual hood or tongue-tie (back on here) when fourth of seven at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) 12 days ago; two things in his favour here are that he is the only distance winner in the field and this represents a drop in grade, so he needs to be considered seriously. |

9st 6lb |
In consistent form in the spring when finishing a close second five times, including over C&D, as well as winning a 1m classified event at Newcastle; however, he hasn't been in the same form since back from a break, drastically so last time out; others are much preferred. |

31st Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
All three wins came over 7f/1m here last year, the latest from 3lb lower; has a bit to prove now back with his former trainer (who owns him) after six months off; market may be revealing. |

31st Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Looked in excellent nick when winning twice here in the autumn (7f/1m) but has not been at the same level on his two appearances this month (both 1m) and still needs to prove he can cope with a mark this high. |

Veteran five-time course winner who's still capable of being competitive, as he showed when second to Urban Dandy in a classified here (1m) a month ago; the return to handicaps asks for a bit more. |

Tough 9yo who has won four 6f handicaps here this year; form dipped last time, however, and returning to 7f isn't enough to tempt. |

14th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Sprightly 9yo who completed a quick hat-trick of front-running C&D wins last month and lost out only by a neck off today's mark here on Wednesday; upped in grade but likely to give another good account. |

Not the most prolific of winners (2-27); winner over 1m2f at Redcar in May (1m2f, good to firm; 18-1); hasn't run as well since and was well beaten on the AW on Thursday (1m2f); can pull hard and return to 1m4f not sure to suit. |

Beaten only by a short head and a nose when third in similar C&D race to this last month and also ran well when second at Newcastle (1m, AW) ten days ago, but his 0-29 strike-rate is not easily overlooked. |
