13th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 2m 3f 98y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Multiple winner who is usually held up; he's not won for ages and Newton Abbot last time was disappointing, but his previous seconds (including here) bring him firmly into the equation. |
7/1 |

24th Jun 2025 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Quirky veteran who is usually ridden very patiently; without a win since September 2022 and not the force of old but has posted three good efforts since returning from a break in April and is very well suited by this track. |
7/2 |

31st May 2025 Good 2m 4f 205y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Lightly raced over last couple of years and no longer the force of old but has made the frame twice on good ground at Fontwell (2m3f/2m2f) this spring and is also suited by this C&D; usually ridden very patiently; no surprise if he features. |

23rd Jun 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Not yet proven over this far but made the frame on final four outings last season (2m3f-2m4f, good) and was in front before penultimate-fence unseat at Fontwell (3m2f, good) last month; must be considered. |
9/4 |

24th May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 210y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Made the frame on final four starts last season, most recently when third of 12 here (2m3f, good) one month ago; remains on a workable mark but has stamina to prove over this much longer trip. |
5/1 |

3rd 8 |
24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
All three wins have been on heavy ground; C&D second in January was also on soft but his two placed efforts over 2m4f at Wincanton since came on good to soft and good; ought to be thereabouts again but it is now over two years since his last win. |

7th Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
All three defeats over hurdles have been in maidens; has since gone 5-9 over fences, last time making all at Stratford (2m1f, good to firm) after wind surgery; off the same mark for his handicap debut as a hurdler. |
9/4 |

1st 5 |
30th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 213y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Won four times over fences last spring/summer but was beaten 25l at Lingfield (2m, good) when last seen in November; has had wind surgery since and is only 1lb higher than for his last success; must hold claims from good yard if ready to roll. |
3/1 |

18th Nov 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Mark took a hit for winning four of his first five races over fences (all handicaps) and was beaten 13l and 21l in his last two with cheekpieces fitted; those aids are now removed and he's only 2lb higher than for his last win, so hard to dismiss. |

9th Jun 2026 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Ran well for a long way before fading into fourth at Huntingdon (2m4f, good) last month but is effectively 7lb higher from out of the weights here and it's over three years since his only chase win; tries a new trip. |
33/1 |

19th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 189y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Returned from layoff with two modest efforts towards end of last season (2m/2m1f) and remains without a win since 2023; yet to convince stamina-wise over this sort of trip; difficult to enthuse over. |
14/1 |
|
4th 5 |
5th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 219y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Four-time Flat winner and 1-10 over fences; peak efforts were a long time ago now and he was tailed off when third at Huntingdon after 297 days off; 4lb out of the weights. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 43y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Sole success was at Stratford (2m1f, good) last May and she's been out of sorts in her last seven starts; 5lb out of the weights this time and she has a lot to prove. |
33/1 |
|
7th 7 |
12th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 98y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Sole success came here in May last year but she has been out of sorts since; 4lb wrong in the weights and hard to fancy. |
33/1 |
|
5th 5 |
28th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Has lost her way badly since her win/place form over fences last summer; cheekpieces tried last time are swiftly removed; couldn't trust. |
