13th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Front-runner who is 4-8 on the AW including a C&D success in May last year; beaten a head back here on New Year's Day and although off ten weeks since, she is proven fresh; major player. |
9/4 |

25th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Made the running for two of her three AW wins; not disgraced over C&D recently in only her second turf run and although more is needed it wouldn't surprise to see her do better on grass. |

15th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Three wins from 32 starts; unlucky not to go closer when fourth of 11 here over 6f last month but he failed to build on that when seventh here ten days ago; steps back up to 7f. |
10/1 |
|
7th 7 (9) |
5th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Losing run up to 19, but he has dropped a long way in the weights and met all sorts of trouble when fourth of 11 over C&D last time (Starsong second); withdrawn at the start on vet's advice in the race won by Good Earth here ten days ago; worth considering. |
4/1 |

26th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
He has never been prolific but lurks on a dangerous mark and his latest unlucky-in-running fourth over C&D served notice he was ready to strike; high on the list. |

9st 0lb |
Can lead; has won at both sprint trips on this course; two good runs in classified events during February but below best at Wolverhampton last month and was beaten nearly out of sight back over 5f on turf last time; first-time visor replaces blinkers; others higher up the list. |
9/1 |

Recorded back-to-back C&D wins last October (the second off 3lb lower) but the wheels came off in his hat-trick bid in November; back from 161 days off with a point to prove. |

1st Nov 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

1st Nov 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
First 7f win at Newmarket in May; just 1-22 on the AW but this surface suits and he was unlucky in his sole C&D run, when runner-up in September, and looks well worth another go back over this trip. |

All bar one of his seven wins has come over 6f, but he has finished runner-up in both goes over this trip including here; still 6lb above his last winning mark, though, so needs to find a bit more. |

11th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Completed a double over C&D in November and he got back on the scoresheet when making all at Wolverhampton (7f) three weeks ago; that was a narrow success but he's only 1lb higher and could make another bold bid back in trip. |
8/1 |

1st 8 (1) |
19th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |

6f wins at Wolverhampton and Southwell in the autumn; runner-up twice since and he wasn't beaten far when favourite at Southwell (fifth of eighth) last time; now returns to 7f but he has plenty of form at this trip and he's in the mix. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 18y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Had blinkers on for the first time when winning at Redcar (6f, good; has won on soft) last month and followed up at Thirsk (6f, good) 18 days ago, beating 16 rivals; back up another 7lb but can't be dismissed in her bid for the hat-trick. |
15/8 |
|
1st 14 (12) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
C&D winner; off the mark for the year with a comfortable success at Redcar nine days ago (6f, good; first win on ground without soft in the description); that win came in new blinkers which aren't guaranteed to have the same effect a second time; only 3lb higher today, though, so she has obvious claims if in the same form. |
5/1 |
|
1st 7 (11) |
7th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Won three times on good to soft/soft in 2024, the first of them coming over C&D; not at her best for a while now though and she wouldn't want the ground to dry out too much; first-time blinkers replace cheekpieces. |

20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Usually a reliable sort whose five wins have all been over 6f; beaten a head over 5f at Wolverhampton in March and a shade disappointing back on turf subsequently but should give a better performance here. |
7/1 |
|
10 (8) |
8th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
All five wins have been this trip but he had a near-miss over 5f at Wolverhampton in March; only 1lb higher today but he was a disappointing favourite back on turf at Doncaster (5f, good to soft) last time; has a bit to prove again after that and this is a step back up in grade. |
7/1 |
|
7th 7 (11) |
29th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Three wins in 2025, the latest at this track (6f, good) in September when 3lb lower; several good runs in defeat since and he is a leading contender with this likely to be run to suit. |

26th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Normally a fairly consistent sort but that's not been the case in 2026, with Lingfield success (penultimate start) his standout performance; failed to beat a rival latest; hard to support with confidence. |
16/1 |

8th 3 (1) |
16th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Poor efforts in January are flanked by two wins over 6f, latest at Lingfield when taking AW record to 5-30; back up 3lb but Conor Whiteley takes off 7lb; likely player, provided he remains in form. |

9st 6lb |
Has been in grand form since winning at Carlisle (6f, good to soft) in July and landed his third win of the year (and first on AW) over C&D last time; up 6lb but must come into the equation on this hat-trick bid. |

Went very close on stable debut over C&D last November; made all at Carlisle (good to soft) in July and kept on well to win at Ripon (also 6f, good) on Saturday; 5lb penalty but this drop back to 5f is likely no bother; should give it a good go. |
