27th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
C&D winner in May 2025 and 2026, latterly in clearcut style (from Now The Eagle) when 6-5 favourite on return from hurdling; back up 5lb now; third in this race last year and looks set for another prominent finish. |

Not seen on the Flat since finishing first and third over C&D around this time last year; comes into this fit from hurdling, though, and should make his presence felt. |

10th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 103y Class 2 |
11st 1lb |
In good form on AW Flat last spring and returned from an absence for 50-1 win on handicap hurdle debut at Kempton (2m, good to soft) in February; weakened quickly in the Imperial Cup at Sandown (soft) but perhaps a return to less testing ground may help. |

18th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 68y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Veteran who's been sharply on the downgrade in recent times, coming 22lb down the weights in the past year; a long time since he wore headgear, which is likely fitted more in hope than expectation. |

Veteran who is 1-29 on the Flat and has completely lost his way, including when last of nine (behind two of these) over C&D four weeks ago; opposable from 1lb wrong. |

6th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
4-12 on AW, with the first three of those wins at this track (two C&D) but they were in 2023; won at Lingfield this February and close third over C&D in May but he was tailed off in his other two Flat runs (one here) this year, which adds a cautionary note; wears headgear first time. |

5th Jun 2025 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Relatively lightly raced 8yo who is versatile trip-wise and has record of 4-11 on AW; returned from a lengthy absence in February but he won here (1m5f) in March and bounced back from a poor run to finish third at Kempton (2m) last time; on same mark here and has claims if he can back that up; one of two runners for yard. |

16th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
2m AW Flat winner for Tom Ward; unexposed as a hurdler, best run when 13l third in a Hereford novice in March (2m3f, good; wore a hood); wasn't suited by the drop back to 2m when pulled up on handicap debut last time; cheekpieces now tried again (no improvement with them on the Flat). |

6th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 53y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Has taken time to come to hand over hurdles but his recent third over 2m4f here last month represented by far his best effort, appreciating the better ground; opening mark is no gift, but he remains capable of better in this sphere; interesting contender. |

18th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 147y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Fair Flat performer who was bought for 32,000gns; at least completed when hooded here last month but he was well beaten; has raced only on soft/heavy as a jumper and these conditions should suit him better. |

22nd May 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Close third on soft at Yarmouth (1m6f) last July was his best turf form; needs better given the improvement he's shown on Kempton AW (2m) in two of his three starts since, but he'd have a good chance if that form is transferred back to turf; won on 2024 reappearance; needs a close look. |
6/1 |

11th Oct 2025 Good 2m 2f 0y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
0-4 on turf but he was close up in two of his turf handicaps (good to firm/soft); blinkered on last four outings, winning from off the pace over 2m on Kempton AW on the first and latest occasions; carries a 4lb penalty and is 3lb out of the handicap, so more improvement is needed, but the latest win was delivered in strikingly good style. |

11st 2lb |
Both wins at this track, the latest a C&D defeat of Sun Dancer Girl in January; solid placed efforts on his last two starts and he has the assistance of a top amateur jockey; big player. |

25th Jul 2025 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Most runs and both wins have been on the AW but has comparable turf form, including a second over C&D in 2022; needs respecting after a near miss at Kempton (2m). |

11th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 23y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Two staying wins on AW last winter and has since won over hurdles but he was tailed off in the latter discipline when last seen in October and, reappearing over 1m2f, others are higher up the list. |
25/1 |

5th 2 |
17th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 3y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
2l and a place behind Squeezebox at Warwick latest, though that sixth still represented stronger form than that of June's Worcester hurdling debut win (2m, good); liable to remain vulnerable under his penalty on that evidence, but this doesn't look as deep a contest as last time. |
