30th Sep 2025 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Can front run; made all at Salisbury (1m6f, good to firm; flag start) in July before another good effort when second of four at Ffos Las (2m, good); needs to bounce back from a lesser effort at Chester (1m6f, good) 18 days ago; blinkers applied. |

12th Sep 2025 Good 1m 6f 87y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Seemingly aided by cheekpieces on recent outings and got off the mark with front-running success at Salisbury (1m6f, good to firm; front pair well clear) in July, on ninth start; beaten at short odds over 2m since but still ran well, and remains one to be interested in. |

Seemingly aided by cheekpieces on recent outings and got off the mark with front-running success at Salisbury (1m6f, good to firm; front pair well clear) last month; 8lb higher here but could still have more to offer over today's longer trip; respected. |

25th Sep 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 2 |
10st 9lb |
Fair Flat racer; drew nicely clear to win maiden hurdle here (2m, good) in June and subsequent third over that trip on handicap debut was perfectly respectable; open to improvement over this longer trip but needs it. |
20/1 |

3rd 3 |
22nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Got off the mark on his third run over hurdles, following wind surgery, in a maiden over C&D (good) last month, without his usual cheekpieces (also absent today); makes handicap debut and there should be more to come. |

1st 2 |
17th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Fair Flat racer who made quite promising stable/hurdle debut when fourth at Huntingdon (2m, good) in November; dropped out of contention tamely at Southwell (2m, good to soft) later that month but was given a wind op afterwards and is back on better ground here; could have a say. |

20th Oct 2026 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
23-race maiden (Flat/hurdles) who has returned from a ten-week break with two poor efforts, failing to beat a rival at Newcastle (1m4f Flat) before a remote last of five finishers back over hurdles here (2m4f) last time; back in trip but hard to make a case for on recent evidence. |
25/1 |

5th 4 |
2nd Oct 2026 Good 2m 4f 28y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
0-22; had a below-par Knockeranna Rose behind him here in June (2m4f, good), but beaten over 17l himself, and fared no better asked to front run in second-time cheekpieces back on the Flat (about 1m4f) since. |

21-race maiden (Flat/hurdles); runner-up over this C&D in January off a 7lb higher mark than today's but he's struggled since (Flat/hurdles); returns to the Flat with the tongue-tie discarded. |

8th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 209y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Best form on AW but has won on turf and it was his best effort on grass when third of six at Newbury (2m, good; plugged on) three weeks ago; each-way shout. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 8 (8) |
17th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 3 |
8st 5lb |
Has done best on AW, including three wins at Wolverhampton (1m6f/2m) in the last six months; well held at Lingfield two weeks ago but has a modest record there; has won twice on turf, latterly on good ground at Bath (1m6f) last June but none of his turf form matches today's mark. |
25/1 |

8th 4 (12) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Something of a Wolverhampton specialist (3-5) though he has won on Polytrack at Kempton; the drop to 1m4f didn't help last time so the return to a longer distance should help, but his high draw may not be ideal even over this trip. |

3rd Oct 2026 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Last four starts in cheekpieces; went close at Newmarket (2m, good to firm; acts on AW) in June but the effect of the headgear seems to have worn off and he was beaten a long way four weeks ago; carries risks after that but does have a commendable course record and that keeps him in the picture. |
16/1 |

5th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Scored at Southwell (1m6f, AW) last October and has been placed five times this year, although he was beaten over 8l when third back on AW at Lingfield (1m5f) a fortnight ago; others are preferred. |
12/1 |

3rd 2 (6) |
22nd Aug 2026 Standard 1m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Scored at Southwell (1m6f, AW) last October and has been placed four times this year; may have found the drop back in trip against him when fifth of six at Leicester (1m4f, good to firm) last month; cheekpieces return to replace blinkers but he may find this trip on the sharp side. |

21st Aug 2025 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Generally struggled at big prices in bumpers and it's been a similar story in four Flat runs; started his handicap career with a heavy defeat at Salisbury (1m6f) last month and needs a transformation on this switch to AW. |

23rd Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 6f 44y Class 5 |

13th Sep 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Needs to better his recent efforts but is now 4lb lower than when going very close at Salisbury (1m4f, good) in May and it's worth remembering he landed this valuable prize last season; dangerous to ignore. |
20/1 |
|
4th 4 (5) |
26th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Dual Polytrack winner who scored twice over this trip on turf last autumn; wasn't helped by being pestered for the lead when a well-held third of four at Salisbury (1m,6f, good to firm) last month, but still 3lb above his last winning mark; more will be needed. |
9/1 |

3rd 2 |
21st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 44y Class 5 |

Gained his most recent success in C&D event (good) last October; best effort this term when going close at Salisbury (1m4f) on penultimate start; not disgraced in higher grade here latest; fighting chance returned to Class 5 and back up in trip. |

11st 0lb |
Six-time turf winner who went close at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) in July but he's not easy to predict and has been well held in his last two runs; has bit to prove again and he needs to get back on track. |
10/1 |

28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 11y Class 5 |

Ran well for second at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) last month; failed to back it up when third of four at Newbury a fortnight ago; Simon Walker booked but others are more appealing for the win. |

3rd 2 (3) |
14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |

Course winner; ran his best race of the season when narrowly pipped at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) last month; 1lb rise is manageable but a tactical race wouldn't play to his strengths. |
