13th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Short-headed on 2024 reappearance and won it last year; thrived last season when winning three races and not far away in the other three, including at this track; highly respected for that campaign, and first-time-out record, but the handicapper reacted and he now needs to resume improvement. |

5th 3 (9) |
6th Sep 2025 Good 1m 6f 1y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
5yo who has thrived this season and made it two 1m4f wins in a row when powering ahead at Hamilton (good to firm) a fortnight ago; also effective here (and on soft ground) and has hinted he could be even better now tackling 1m6f for the first time; trainer won this in 2015 and 2017; player. |

22nd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 4f 15y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Won on reappearance at Chester (1m2f, good) in May before being placed in two competitive handicaps, then back to winning ways at Thirsk (1m4f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; hit with 9lb rise for last time but this thriving 5yo had 5l to spare and could play a leading role once more. |

On a losing run and went backwards from C&D reappearance fifth to Spioradalta when well held at Hamilton a fortnight ago; on a career-low mark but need to see more. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Useful handicapper on the Flat for George Boughey; off the mark on fourth hurdle start when taking Ludlow handicap in good style last time; drying ground suits; should go well despite 9lb rise. |
9/4 |
|
1st 1 |
19th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Four wins for George Boughey at 1m2f/1m4f and useful in that scene; wouldn't have won but displayed some ability until falling at Sandown on hurdles debut in January; also offered something to work on in two starts the following month; Flat form makes this opening hurdle mark look dangerous. |
6/5 |

4th 2 |
17th Feb 2026 2m 0f 69y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
Four wins for George Boughey at 1m2f/1m4f and useful in that scene (effective on soft); wouldn't have won when falling at Sandown and then no match for a dark horse at Southwell; highly likely that he'll need more here. |

10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 178y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Useful Flat racer who kept on for third over hurdles at Wetherby (2m, soft) in December; well beaten twice since but had excuses last time (heavy ground; finished lame) and will be dangerous here if back on song; cheekpieces left off this time. |
7/2 |

13th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 51y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Two heavy defeats among his three hurdle starts but in between he caught the eye keeping on for third at Wetherby (2m, soft); has potential off opening jumps mark in view of his useful Flat form, and his four wins in that code came in cheekpieces which he wears over hurdles for the first time. |
9/2 |
|
6th 9 |
23rd Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 128y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Useful, four-time Flat winner who made eyecatching late headway into third at Wetherby (2m, soft) last month on his second hurdle start, beaten about 6l by Minstrel Knight who now carries a 6lb penalty; open to further improvement in this code and he's one to be interested in. |

4th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Right back to form under William Pyle on his last two starts, finishing second to Double Parked over C&D before winning over 1m2f here 18 days ago; handles good to firm and soft ground and should be thereabouts. |
11/2 |

1st 4 (6) |
16th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
His last win was 14 months ago but he responded well to cheekpieces when going close off a reduced mark here (1m, good to firm) last month; kept on well in that race and he's respected off only 1lb higher on this step back up in trip. |

23rd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 4 |

Slipped down the weights and he wasn't beaten far in a Class 4 at Windsor six weeks ago; tongue-tie worn there now left off and new cheekpieces are deployed; one to consider. |

13th Sep 2025 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Has record of 4-10 at Chester and he won this race in 2023; no joy in Bahrain last winter and has mixed record since returned to Britain but he won at Haydock (1m2f, good) in June and was only just caught at Chelmsford last time; remains feasibly treated on his best form and he's respected back at this track. |
4/1 |
|
8 (2) |
7th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Ended a long losing run when scoring off a reduced mark at Haydock (1m2f, good) in June but he dropped right out in his follow-up bid there two weeks later; now drops back in trip but he's not easy to predict and has had only three AW runs in his 42-race career; others preferred. |
13/2 |

12th 9 (16) |
5th Jul 2025 Good 1m 3f 175y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Snapped a long losing run and capitalised on a reduced mark over 10.4f here (good) a fortnight ago; enjoyed the run of the race in front and it might be the case this longer trip stretches him nowadays, but he did it nicely last time and remains well treated on old form back up 6lb; not discounted. |

21st Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 4f 14y Class 3 |

Six AW wins since December, including a four-timer in February/March after the cheekpieces went on; four defeats have followed but he was staying on again when hampered in the closing stages over the extended 1m2f here last time, suggesting this return to a longer trip may suit. |

Record of 10-33 on AW features six wins at Wolverhampton, including in this race (off just 1lb lower) last year; close fourth at Lingfield for an encouraging start to his 2026 campaign; fighting chance. |
7/2 |
|
4th 4 (5) |
10th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Best known as a Wolverhampton specialist (six wins), but is 2-5 over C&D and the middle leg of his hat-trick early last year included this race off 3lb lower; interesting. |
7/1 |
|
10th 4 (7) |
28th Sep 2025 Good 1m 2f 17y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Has a much better stirke-rate on AW than on turf; form dipped back in this sphere when last seen; on a difficult mark and isn't the percentage call. |

1st Jun 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Three wins, and most racing, come over 7f, including when making all on his second start for this yard on Polytrack off 6lb higher in the winter; not at his best lately and, while well drawn, may not get his own way as he likes back down in trip. |
16/1 |

7th 6 (7) |
20th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Made all to win a 7f AW handicap at Lingfield in December, his second start for Mark Loughnane; in and out since that success but no doubt he is handicapped to go well and he has run well over C&D in the past (including finishing second in this race year off 4lb higher); one to consider with Billy Loughnane back in the saddle. |
8/1 |
|
7th 2 (2) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Made all in 7f handicap at Lingfield off 2lb higher in December; some fair efforts in defeat since, including fourth of 11 at Wolverhampton (7f) four weeks ago; this former C&D scorer is handily drawn for a prominent racer; reasons to be positive with Jack Nicholls taking 5lb off. |

The winner of eight of his 22 starts, the latest success coming at Kempton (1m4f) off a 2lb lower mark; ended 2025 with a couple of lesser runs and might be best watched on return. |

28th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 3 |

23rd Sep 2025 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Fine on Tapeta but has done most winning round Chelmsford, always over 1m2f; generally consistent in recent times, without looking quite as good, and has to prove his stamina going beyond 1m4f for the first time; the usual headgear comes off. |
10/1 |

21st Aug 2025 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Much more exposed than some of these and usually runs over 1m2f but gave pretty good account when fourth in valuable Chelmsford handicap (1m2f) a fortnight and is 1lb lower here; could have a say. |
4/1 |

9 (5) |
7th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Formerly a front-runner but more often held up these days; finished a 4l seventh at Wolverhampton in last two starts but he's 5-9 at Chelmsford and was runner-up over C&D in June; has possibilities back at this track and he needs a close look with Hollie Doyle booked. |
