3rd Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

Came from off the pace to win a 7f handicap at Lingfield in November; well beaten in his three runs since and has more to prove than some of these. |

Near miss at Wolverhampton last week (7f), keeping on well having encountered traffic problems; a clear run is no guarantee here either but he's handicapped to win. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Front-runner who is much better known as a sprinter, but won over C&D in 2022 and looked suited by return to this trip when close third here (good to soft; just behind Too Much Trevor) last week; back in action before 1lb nudge takes effect and will be fine on the faster ground; respected. |

21st May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 16y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Front-runner who has gained seven of her ten career wins at Chepstow; went backwards from a sound reappearance effort at Bath (extended 5f) when last of six over a bare 5f there 12 days later but a revival can't be ruled out back at Chepstow; raced exclusively at sprint trips since 2023 but won over C&D in 2022. |

Front-runner whose ten wins on turf have included two over this C&D; possibly needed her first run for 179 days when fifth of 11 here over 5.5f last time and has to be of interest now dropping back in grade. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Dual 6f winner (once here) last summer; also suited by 7f but we haven't seen him since a disappointing AW run in September and he probably doesn't have much margin for error off current mark. |
12/1 |
|
2 (5) |
20th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Dual Polytrack winner who boasts a patchy record round here; has enjoyed a good spell of late under Charlie Tucker but whether he's up to winning on Tapeta off his revised mark is the question. |
6/1 |
|
6 (5) |
2nd Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Thoroughly at home on this track, with three of his last four wins over C&D (good to soft and good) and the latest a fortnight ago, the day after a Windsor success; has won off higher marks than today's and his apprentice rider Charlie Tucker gets a sweet tune out of him; hat-trick is on the cards. |

Returned from a break with four decent runs (all over 6f) this spring and continues to edge down the weights; now 0-29 since his 2yo success but probably won't be far away; sports refitted cheekpieces. |

4th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Two 7f handicap wins on the AW, the latest over C&D in April under Charlie Tucker, but he was disappointing on the turf track here (7f) since, given that he's handled that test in the past; shade to prove this time. |

19th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

1st 6 (6) |
27th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |

Often misses the break and can pull hard, so will always come with risks attached; has resumed in good form, though, latterly behind a couple of subsequent winners at Chelmsford, and is quite capable off this mark if things fall his way. |

18th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Ended 2024 by winning the corresponding race off 5lb lower; returned from 170 days off to win another C&D handicap in April (off this mark); not at his best in a Class 5 here two weeks ago but he was caught wide and shouldn't have that issue from stall 4; one to consider. |

4th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Handy sort who has been running well on turf lately including when second of five at Chepstow (6f, good) last time; looks interesting now returned here with his record over C&D reading 113; high on list. |
6/1 |

2nd 3 (7) |
19th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Largely consistent since returning from break with 6f AW win in April, and lost out only by two necks when third in slightly better race than this at Newbury (6f, good to firm) last month; below that form when favourite over C&D soon afterwards but still features prominently in calculations. |

22nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Triple course winner who scored at Wolverhampton in March and she's gone close back at this track (5f/5,6f, firm) in last two runs; only 1lb higher than for her runner-up effort three weeks ago and she should make another bold bid. |
15/8 |

29th Apr 2026 Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |

Did a lot of her racing for the Kubler yard in sprints but proved fine over 7f last summer, including a win here; offered little on her comeback for new trainer (Local Bay looks his best shout) three weeks ago, however, and has to prove her stamina. |
