16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Course winner (6f) who won decisively on AW (7f) in November off a 3lb higher mark; recent return to action should have sharpened him up; one of two strong contenders for his trainer. |

1st Jul 2026 Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |

Doubled her tally when winning at Wolverhampton (Tapeta) in January but she was behind Party Bear when down the field at Lingfield (also 7f, Polytrack) 12 days ago; comes back down in grade. |

Came good with narrow 6f win at Haydock in April and ran at least as well when very close second over that trip here (good) the following month; off since lesser effort ten weeks ago but stays 7f and enters calculations. |

9st 7lb |
Multiple course winner, the latest last September (6f, soft) off a 1lb lower mark; she has run some solid races in defeat this year but consistency has been an issue and others appeal more in today's field. |

30th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Seven-time winner at Chepstow and finished a solid second, splitting subsequent winners, there last time; has form over this C&D and warrants respect up just 1lb. |

15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 16y Class 5 |

9st 1lb |
Conditions to suit and this veteran is likely to find more races this year; the evidence of his two runs in 2026 suggests he may need some more help from the handicapper before he is of renewed interest though. |
20/1 |

4th 3 (6) |
17th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Won twice over 6f at Windsor (good to firm) and Chepstow (good) last August; may have needed last month's return at the latter track (7f, good to firm), but this trip looks on the sharp side. |
8/1 |

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. |

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 |

Yet to score on turf but last month he recorded his second AW win, at this track (7f); holds claims if he can reproduce his best back on turf. |

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 |

Seven wins include two at this track over 6f (good to soft/good to firm) but her last success came in October 2024; beat only one rival home on her reappearance here over 6f last month and now drops back in trip on her return to classified company. |

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. |
