13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 3f 179y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Three-time winner, the most recent coming at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW) in November; runner-up there over 9.5f in April but he was well beaten at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) three weeks ago and needs to bounce back. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Good run of turf form last summer included when making all at Yarmouth (1m2f, good to soft; acts on quicker) in July; mostly creditable efforts on AW since winning at Wolverhampton (1m4f) in November and he's far from ruled out back on grass despite tricky stall. |

11th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
1m2f winner; positives to take from three of his four runs over hurdles, last time chasing home an odds-on Olly Murphy runner; thereabouts. |
11/2 |

2nd 2 |
13th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 3y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Won on the AW last summer (1m2f) and launched hurdling career with two encouraging fourths, latterly when just over 2l behind Jamada in 18-runner Lingfield maiden (2m, soft) in January; safely held on subsequent handicap debut but still considered here, with the switch to better ground a possible source of improvement. |

21st Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Has three wins on AW, including two here (one over C&D); tends to race freely and needs to settle better to fulfil his potential; second over hurdles two weeks ago. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 4 |
7th Apr 2026 Good 2m 2f 111y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Gained a third win on the AW in February (1m6f) but regressed in his last four starts; 0-6 as a hurdler and returns to this discipline for the first time since pulled up in a handicap last summer for Chris Grant; hardly solid but this is a poor race. |
100/30 |
|
8th 10 (4) |
31st Mar 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Successful three times (1m3f, 1m4f and 1m6f) this January/February, with the last two wins at this track; way below form on last two outings (headstrong on Saturday) but he has bounced back before. |

16th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
No impact in a handful of turf handicaps this summer but different proposition back on AW and with first-time cheekpieces added to his tongue-tie (combination retained) when seeing off 13 rivals over C&D 17 days ago; only nudged up 2lb and will be very competitive if in a similar mood. |
7/2 |

29th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
0-5 on turf for new stable this season; hinted at possible return to form in first-time tongue-tie two starts ago but suffered heavy defeat last time (breathing issue reported); sports cheekpieces for AW return; risky. |
16/1 |

7th 4 (3) |
13th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 1f 201y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
1-6 in 2024 for Sir Mark Prescott; not so good this year and, although beaten about only 3l on two of his last three starts, he needs to drop further in the weights unless improving on that 2025 form; tongue tied last time (upped to 1m2f) and today. |

18th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Yet to add to his turf nursery win three years ago but kept on for fourth off basement mark at Leicester (1m2f, good to firm) in August and did not enjoy the run of the race in 1m4f AW classified last time; considered each-way. |
10/1 |

26th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
33-1 second in a Wolverhampton classified (8.5f, Tapeta) in March; didn't get the breaks when an eye-catching fifth on her penultimate start and she wasn't beaten far when fourth of 12 in a Leicester handicap (1m2f, good to firm) 16 days ago; kept on in the latter and this new trip could unlock a bit more; interesting. |

10th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

Sole success came at Nottingham in September 2022; her handicap mark has dropped to an all-time low but she is showing no signs of taking advantage. |

27th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

Three of his six wins have come over C&D, including the corresponding race in 2024; not at his best this summer though and stall 13 won't make life easy. |

8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 23y Class 6 |

Six-time AW winner who has more off days than on now; better off with Zafaan than when fifth behind him over C&D 12 days ago, back into a handicap today, but needs more. |

All six wins have come at around this trip on AW; pulled up back over hurdles last month and withdrawn in that code subsequently having been unruly at the post; best watched. |

Two of his three wins last year came over C&D; ran well here on his penultimate start but failed to back it up last week; others appeal more for win purposes. |

30th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 1m 7f 189y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Plenty of minor honours this term, mostly at 1m4f; one 1m6f attempt casts doubt on him over this new trip and it's hard to ignore that this is his 31st attempt to get off the mark. |
5/1 |

14th Sep 2026 Good 1m 4f 8y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Largely running well this season but only eighth of 12 in 1m4f Newcastle handicap last month; more is needed if he's to gain a first win at the 30th attempt. |

8th 9 (2) |
20th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 6 |

28-race maiden but he has been running with credit, finishing in the frame on his last eight starts; acts on AW and he makes more appeal than some. |
