19th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
His last win was at Windsor 13 months ago but that was off 13lb higher and he finished a close third over C&D (good to firm) on his penultimate run; has possibilities if he can recapture that form and he won't mind what the weather does. |
15/2 |

15th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Won at Windsor last April off a mark 12lb higher than today's and he took a step back in the right direction when a close-up third at Nottingham (5f) a week ago; claims if building on that now returned to the AW. |

18th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Multiple AW wins include two over this C&D, although his most recent success came on turf in April; has taken rather a drastic wrong turn since, though, and refitting cheekpieces (now discarded) made no difference back on this track last time. |
14/1 |

Ran creditably off 2lb higher back here last Friday, beaten just over 1l and taking record over C&D to 121214; gained most recent success off this mark at Pontefract in May; very solid chance. |
4/1 |

1st Aug 2025 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |

Two wins in May (5f, good/good to firm) and has continued in good heart, beaten just over 2l when eighth of 16 over C&D (good to firm) a fortnight ago; however, he needs something extra today. |

23rd Oct 2025 Soft 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Free-going sort; easily saw off five rivals on testing ground at Lingfield in June but he has been well held in three runs since; hopes rest on the return to slower ground giving him a lift. |
10/1 |

1st Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Easily won a small-field soft-ground handicap at Lingfield in June off 6lb lower but well held since then, latterly at Southwell on Monday. |

28th Jul 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |

Well backed when winning a 6f handicap at Lingfield (soft) last month; not sure that was the greatest race, however, and he's since finished unplaced at Hamilton, albeit over 5f. |

6th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

C&D scorer but his recent form is far from encouraging, beating only two in 5f Southwell handicap 17 days ago; hood goes back on; work to do. |
14/1 |
|
7th 1 (2) |
20th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |

Possibly needed latest run (when back from a break); losing sequence is mounting up but this drop in class may do the trick; interesting at this level off 11lb below last winning mark. |
13/2 |

21st Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Needs things to fall just right for him but he is on a lowly mark and some of this summer's form gives him leading claims; wouldn't judge him too harshly on latest Leicester run and he holds each-way claims again. |

9st 1lb |
Three-time winner at sprint trips; runner-up over 1m at Chelmsford in January and 1m2f hasn't suited on her last two starts; her reduced mark is a plus and cheekpieces are added, but others have more pressing claims. |
16/1 |

11th 4 (7) |
27th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

2nd 5 (6) |
28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Has a patchy profile and was quiet at Wolverhampton last week, but he came from rear to snatch victory at Chester (5f, good) on his penultimate run; still looks feasibly treated on that form and has possibilities if this sets up for his closing style. |
8/1 |
|
8th 4 (8) |
17th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Has three course wins over 5f but has winning form over 6f; hold-up tactics worked to a tee at Chester (5f, good) last month when he weaved through the pack to win by a neck; such tactics do not always pay off so will do well to repeat those here. |

24th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 60y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
In-form front-runner who has two wins, a second and two thirds to his name in five runs here; on career-high mark, though, having been put up 5lb for his Newmarket win early in the month under 7lb claimer Chloe Lyons. |
4/1 |

8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Tough and consistent sort who made all over C&D (good to firm) under Chloe Lyons last Saturday; raised 5lb but likely to give it his usual good shot. |

1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

15th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 42y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
No great love for softer surfaces these days, but her present good heart still carried her to second at Lingfield latest (good to soft); record of 13412 in C&D class 5s includes June's win (good to firm); chance. |
7/2 |

2nd 4 (5) |
22nd Jul 2025 Good 0m 4f 217y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Refound some form last two outings for first and second at Yarmouth; best efforts last year were better still but, despite form on testing ground earlier in career, she came last of six on last season's two runs on soft. |
3/1 |

2nd 1 (1) |
27th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 42y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Won this race last year off a 5lb higher mark and came back to form when pulling away with one other over C&D a fortnight ago; has had her moments at the stalls and isn't the most consistent but will rightly be popular. |

28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Dominated a four-runner apprentice handicap at Chepstow (5f, good to firm) last month, but he's taken two backward steps since then; handles most ground but he's still 4lb higher than for that last success and others are more convincing. |
16/1 |

7th 7 (5) |
17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Dominated a four-runner apprentice handicap at Chepstow (5f, good to firm) last month but not so good there eight days later; back up 4lb today and balance of form this term suggests he is not the percentage call. |
10/1 |

3rd 4 (2) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 16y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Took advantage of a drop in the weights when making all to record his second C&D success in an apprentice handicap (good to firm) eight days ago, beating stable-companion Savannah Smiles by 2l; races off the same mark (6lb well in) and a big chance of following up. |

All ground seems to come alike to him and he gained his second C&D success (good to firm) last month, but a 4lb rise appeared to anchor him in his two outings since; may need the returning visor to perk him up a bit. |

28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |

Prominent racer who was well held at Chepstow last time, but that was a Class 4 event and he won that track (5f, good to firm) on his penultimate run; remains well treated on his old form and has claims if he can bounce back on this drop back in grade; acts on fast and soft ground. |

6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 16y Class 4 |

Three wins this year, the latest by a nose over C&D (good to firm) in May; still in good form, albeit he was behind Faustus when third over C&D (good to firm; winner did it easily) last month; probably won't be far away. |

Three-time C&D winner who's well drawn for one happiest up front; only won one of her last 29 starts, which include 18 defeats at 6-1 or shorter, and she has a bit more on coming out of handicap company, but she usually gives her running round here. |

4th 11 (11) |
2nd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |

Hard to knock on the consistency front and Saturday's third over C&D (visored first time) was another solid effort; set to run her race once again but it might not be enough to end a losing run which stands at 21. |
