23rd Oct 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Turf/AW winner who fared best of those who were handy when close up at Newcastle; went off favourite there and his turn looks near. |
7/2 |

19th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Prominent racer; the return to 6f didn't have a positive effect at Catterick last time but he had finished third on Tapeta on his penultimate start; others look safer. |
12/1 |

27th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Signed off last year in a fine run of form on the AW and has been knocking on the door this year, including on turf; this is a belated return to 6f but one to consider. |

11th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Four wins last year, starting with this race (good to firm), and he's been running well in the main on Southwell AW this spring; solid claims. |

6th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 8lb |
Busy mare who enjoyed a purple patch around the turn of the year with four wins but she has found it tougher going since; edging back down the weights but would have made more appeal over 5f. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 2 (3) |
5th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Enjoyed a purple patch around the turn of the year but she has found it tougher going off a BHA mark in the 70s since the latest of her wins; others appeal more. |
9/2 |
|
4th 4 (4) |
16th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Record of 9-41 on AW includes four wins this winter; has never defied a mark this high, however, and seems unlikely to reverse Friday placings with Alondra and El Bufalo who are in career-best form at this moment. |

22nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Nine-time winner who has not scored since September 2024 but he finished well to go close at Catterick (5f, good) last week; looks interesting off same mark and this step back up in trip is a positive. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 7 (4) |
11th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Three-time turf winner who went close at Newcastle (5f, AW) last September and races off 7lb lower today; however, last season ended tamely and this 9yo finished down the field on last month's reappearance. |
7/1 |
|
12th 9 (10) |
24th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Veteran with a better record on AW than turf; 5f on fast ground no problem for him and he has run well after an absence in the past (although not last year); good run wouldn't be a surprise but others appeal more for win purposes. |

16th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Three-time course winner who's regressed since two victories last August, latterly when behind four of tonight's rivals over C&D; only holds outside claims. |
33/1 |
|
9th 4 (2) |
9th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won a Chelmsford handicap (5f) last August but he's 0-9 since and hasn't threatened in classified events in his last three runs; has good draw back on Tapeta but he needs to raise his game. |

22nd Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
His only placed effort came over C&D last September; perhaps needed this month's return from 80 days off but others arrive with more compelling claims. |
25/1 |
|
9 (4) |
16th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Six-race maiden; belied his 50-1 odds with third-place finish at Southwell (7f, AW) most recently; each-way possibilities, provided that form is backed up. |
14/1 |
|
3rd 8 (5) |
2nd Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Has yet to make the frame in five runs, cheekpieces tried when a never-dangerous sixth of 12 in 6f handicap here 16 days ago; others appeal more. |

4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 110y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
No longer the force of old but has performed well on all four starts since joining Ben Haslam in March, most recently when keeping-on third at Musselburgh (5f, good) a fortnight ago; big player if this race is run to suit usual come-from-behind tactics. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 8 (1) |
21st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Seven-time winner; style of racing leaves him a hostage to fortune and he has met trouble in two of his three runs for Ben Haslam; has the ability to win at this level and stall 1, while not optimal, should at least keep him clear of some of the traffic. |
9/2 |
|
4th 10 (5) |
3rd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
8st 7lb |
Seven-time winner with bucketloads of placed efforts to his name; both runs for this yard have been respectable and the return of cheekpieces is a definite plus. |
6/1 |
