23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Still consistent but hasn't won in three years and isn't as good now; just a fair comeback effort over 5f here 12 days ago in second-time cheekpieces (has often worn a visor) but won't mind going back up in trip now he's had a run. |

30th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Veteran who popped up at Newbury (6f, good to soft) in June; hasn't matched that in four runs since but is back down to that winning mark; still needs to turn the ship around. |

8th 11 (9) |
8th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Veteran who popped up in a Class 5 at Newbury in June (6f, good to soft); hasn't matched that in three runs since and although he's often run well here, he's yet to win at the track; minor money perhaps his best hope. |
16/1 |

25th Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 3y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Understandably not the force of old now a 10yo but he registered the ninth win of his long career when beating ten rivals at Newbury (6f, good to firm) in June; held in a couple of Class 4 events since but he's won here in the past and is not ruled out on this drop back in grade. |

6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Not as consistent now but goes well here and she's capable of popping up if the switch from cheekpieces to first-time blinkers helps; pulled hard back up to this trip last time, following a spell sprinting, and will need to settle better. |
10/1 |

11th 1 (6) |
26th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has inconsistent recent form figures but was hindered by meeting trouble last time when bidding for a Wolverhampton double (6f); scored twice off current mark at Chelmsford (7f/6f) in 2025; fighting chance. |

30th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Good second over C&D last month but not quite in the same form back here 17 days ago; likely to run his race and more minor money could be on the cards; cheekpieces now added. |
9/1 |

31st Oct 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Expensive to follow since joining Ivan Furtado but he usually gives his running; dropping back to 5f isn't sure to be of benefit. |

26th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
11st 2lb |
Multiple winner and there have been some good efforts in his losing run of 16, though not of late; others appeal more. |
7/1 |
|
5th 5 (2) |
27th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Gained two of his seven wins over this C&D; below form lately but endured a wide trip when last in action and is now 3lb lower than when a close second over C&D in January. |
8/1 |
|
7th 7 (12) |
25th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Two wins and several near-misses to his name over C&D; had plenty of chances off a sliding mark of late and will need the breaks if dropped in as anticipated from the outside stall. |
