16th Sep 2025 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Progressive 5yo who won three in a row at Newton Abbot in June/July (2m5f-3m2f, good); found things a bit tougher when upped in grade over C&D last time, though, and the ground may turn against him today. |

27th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Improving 5yo who comes here after three consecutive wins at Newton Abbot (2m5f-3m2f, good); hiked up in grade today but the form of his latest success was recently given a boost by the clear runner-up; needs to be taken very seriously. |

4th Jul 2025 Good 2m 5f 122y Class 5 |
12st 6lb |
Lightly raced point runner-up who won a C&D novice (good) last month in a first-time tongue-tie (retained since) and followed up on handicap debut here (3m2f, good); did it readily and has strong claims under 7lb penalty. |

13th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Course regular who was mostly in good form last year and last month's reappearance run at Exeter looked too bad to be true; hard to dismiss, especially back here. |

17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 111y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Two-time winner over a similar trip at Newton Abbot (both good); was competitive from this mark on his last two starts at that track (both 2m5f) and should be involved if straight enough after a six-month break. |

3rd 10 |
18th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 5f 122y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
Dual 2m2f course winner this season; rebounded from two lesser efforts when close third of five (just behind Striking A Pose) over C&D (good) last month but has more on his plate in this deeper race. |

4th Jul 2025 Good 2m 5f 122y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Three-time point winner; 12l third to Keel Strand in C&D novice last month (good) and enjoys a huge weights turnaround with that rival now back in a handicap; however, the winner has improved again since whereas this 9yo is now 0-13 under rules and could be vulnerable once more. |

11st 2lb |
Triple point winner on a sound surface; placed three times at up to 2m5f over hurdles, including C&D; needs significant improvement to win this. |
