8th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Four-time winner, split between turf and AW; last success was off 2lb higher at Salisbury (1m) last August but he's been out of sorts in last three runs and needs a major revival; reapplied cheekpieces replace a visor. |
10/1 |

31st Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 216y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Ran well at Bath in June but has lacked consistency this year; 7yo who's far from guaranteed to take advantage of being 2lb below last winning mark. |
14/1 |

2nd Aug 2025 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Recent form a bit patchy, but his second of 11 at Bath (1m, good; first-time visor) on his penultimate start took his record off today's mark to 313212; does most of his racing over shorter these days, but shouldn't have a problem with this trip. |

13th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Two AW wins when trained by Denis Quinn and he made a pleasing start for his new trainer, after 205 days off, when third over C&D last month; races off the same mark and should be involved if the removal of cheekpieces doesn't impact negatively. |

3rd 3 (1) |
21st Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Signed off his winter campaign with a win in a classified at Lingfield in February; absent since and needs to hit the ground running back in a handicap; cheekpieces return. |
3/1 |
|
1st 2 (1) |
28th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Back on form when second in a C&D handicap last month; possibly unsuited by a drop to 6f for the first time in well over two years when seventh at Kempton since; good shout if recapturing the previous C&D form. |

3rd 2 |
17th Oct 2026 Good 2m 0f 213y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Won off this mark on his chase debut at Fakenham (2m, good) in May and the returning cheekpieces might help, but he's been tailed off on his last three chase starts and arrives with something to prove. |
6/1 |
|
5th 4 |
7th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 75y Class 4 |
10st 6lb |
Winning chase debut at Fakenham (2m, good) in May but progress stalled when beaten 53l at Market Rasen in July; shaped well when runner-up back over hurdles here (2m1f, good to firm) 11 days ago and resumes over fences in a first-time visor; has more to offer in this sphere. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 3 |
27th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Made a bright start to his chasing career when scoring at Fakenham (2m, good) in May and bettered that when third off 5lb higher at Uttoxeter (2m, good) in July; reverts to hurdles after a disappointing run at Market Rasen last time but not out of this if bouncing back. |

26th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
1-11 for Charlie Johnston, for whom he was also beaten a neck over C&D last October; hasn't found his form in four runs for new yard, tailed off on turf latest, which puts him down the list. |
20/1 |
|
7th 6 (2) |
21st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
He hasn't found his best form in three runs for Rod Millman but he is dropping down the weights and he has one of the more experienced riders on board; could revive. |
12/1 |
|
6th 5 (4) |
4th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Yard in flying form but this gelding has it to prove, having been off since a poor turf comeback in May; two previous runs on Polytrack weren't great either, while an easy 7f looks a bare minimum. |

27th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
11st 0lb |
All seven wins have been here, including three over C&D; in the money twice here since his last win and holds place claims at least. |
8/1 |

10th 2 (11) |
5th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Frequent Wolverhampton winner who's 0-12 on turf, including in his Irish days (has 4lb lower mark than on the AW); very consistent, though, and should get the good pace he wants, so every chance he gets involved again. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 3 (2) |
13th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

8.6f win here last month and turned in another solid effort back here on Monday; wouldn't want a tactical affair back at 7f but still more appealing than many. |

28th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Sole win came in a 7f classified race in January (Lingfield AW); after a break he just missed out back there 18 days ago off 2lb lower; whether he'll back that up remains to be seen and does save his best for Lingfield. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 8 (1) |
10th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Won a C&D classified event in January and there have been some fair runs in defeat since; likely vulnerable back from three months off. |
20/1 |
|
7th 7 (2) |
8th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Plenty of good efforts on AW during the winter, including a win at Lingfield (7f) in January; that form puts him in the picture but he hasn't threatened back on turf in last two runs and overall record is now 1-29. |
10/1 |
