Five-time winner; first run since March when a rallying third over C&D three weeks ago; thereabouts. |

23rd Jun 2026 Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Effective on good to soft; most recent AW form is not overly inspiring but on a perfectly good mark and can go well when fresh. |

20th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Three AW wins last year, the latest over C&D in October and he's now back to that mark for the first time since; bits of encouragement since give him a place in calculations. |

14th Jul 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Keeps missing the break but he still went close two starts ago at Chepstow and it wasn't a bad run here last time, again over 1m; returning to further looks a good move. |
11/2 |
|
5th 1 (9) |
23rd Jun 2026 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Yet again he missed the break before going down narrowly at Chepstow last week (1m, good; handles softer); too risky when he's almost certain to give himself another uphill battle by starting slowly. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 1 (4) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Two wins and a second in four starts over C&D and he is running at this lower level for just the second time, so there are positives; on the flip side, he's almost certain to miss the break and can give it away completely at the stalls; risky. |

13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Won a C&D handicap (firm) last May; mixed bag since then and she was a remote 14th of the 15 runners at Windsor three weeks ago; now tried in a tongue-tie. |
10/1 |
|
14th 11 (14) |
23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Made a winning turf/handicap debut at Bath (1m) last May and posted a creditable second upped to 1m2f at that track (also firm) nine days later; didn't match that form subsequently but last year was this 5yo's first season racing so chance she might have a shade more to offer this term. |
16/1 |

6 (9) |
28th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Made a successful handicap debut at Bath (1m, firm) in May and ran well when third of 12 over C&D 17 days ago given she was keen and didn't enjoy a clear passage; that form has been boosted with the winner (twice) and fourth successful since; races off the same mark. |

2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
A winner on turf but has a superior strike-rate on the AW including a hat-trick earlier this year; only four ran when third at Yarmouth last time and that was under a 5lb claimer; could be vulnerable. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 3 (4) |
28th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 23y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Six time winner who won three in a row in January/February and he ran another good race when third at Lingfield (1m2f, Polytrack) last month; won on turf last summer but that was off a much lower mark and he needs to transfer his progress back to this sphere. |

28th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Three hurdle wins this season, most recently when given a nicely judged Joe Anderson ride from off the pace over C&D (good) 12 days ago; 4lb rise is not excessive but the ground may have turn against him now. |

6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Has lots of Kempton form but she's been out of sorts over C&D in last three runs and her last win was two years ago; opposable. |
16/1 |

8th 9 (6) |
2nd Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Has lots of Kempton form but she's been well held over C&D in last two runs; still has a poor strike-rate and losing run is up to 22. |

30th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 80y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Won five times during the AW season; much better treated on turf now but has never been as good or consistent on grass, and he ran poorly at Yarmouth when last seen; Billy Loughnane is a positive booking but he wouldn't want too much rain. |
6/1 |
|
10th 5 (1) |
13th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Has won five times on the AW since October, most recently at Chelmsford (1m, AW; second has won since) in March, and another solid effort at Southwell last month; 0-9 on grass but he's on a much lower mark on this surface. |

22-race maiden who is far from solid on his form, all at Wolverhampton, this winter. |
40/1 |

8th 12 (11) |
2nd Feb 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Inconsistent 21-race maiden who has finished ninth in classified events here (9.4f) in his last two runs; has plenty to prove again and he's struggled in three attempts at this trip. |
33/1 |

9th 3 (1) |
19th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |

Inconsistent 20-race maiden who finished last of nine in a classified event over C&D last Monday; others preferred. |
