2nd 5 (4) |
18th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 68y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Has resumed in good form and a 2lb rise for his recent AW win here under Ashley Lewis seems fair; has yet to win on turf (only run on it once since 2023) but otherwise has a decent chance of following up. |
7/4 |
|
1st 5 (1) |
27th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Has modest 1-28 strike-rate (includes five hurdle runs) but was denied a clear run before finishing well for close third over C&D last month and gets another chance off the same mark today; respected. |
5/2 |

3rd 7 (10) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Twice finished placed here last year (2m/1m4f); not ruled out each-way but this is his first run since October so he may improve for it, and he's won just one of his 27 starts. |

22nd May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Versatile sort who won three times (2m2f-3m) in June-September last year; only 1lb higher than for his last success but he's been well held in his last three runs and needs a major revival after wind surgery. |
16/1 |

9th 9 |
21st Apr 2026 Soft 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Did well for new stable in early part of season, winning three times under Sean Bowen (2m2f-3m, good/good to soft); returned from break with low-key run last month but has the champion jockey back on board today. |
12/1 |
|
12th 2 |
23rd Mar 2026 Good 2m 3f 179y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Did well for new stable in early part of season, winning three times (2m2f-3m, good/good to soft); absent since below-par run in the autumn but can play a significant role if fully tuned up. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 166y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Dual AW winner on the Flat who was 61l adrift when beating one home on his handicap hurdle debut at Kempton (2m) last month; just a fair effort on the Flat a fortnight ago; upped markedly in trip for his second go in this sphere. |
8/1 |
|
8th 10 (7) |
8th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Mainly seen over hurdles lately and is just 2-33 under rules, but one of his wins came over C&D and his last few efforts on the AW off similar marks would give him an each-way chance here. |
13/2 |
|
5th 2 |
23rd Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Goes handicapping for the first time in this sphere but probably doesn't have anything in hand, with opening hurdles mark roughly in keeping with his Flat ability; that doesn't necessarily mean he can't run well. |

14th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |

One of his two wins was over this C&D in August; hasn't run quite so well since; could bounce back. |
5/1 |
|
4th 9 (9) |
22nd Sep 2025 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Two wins on AW this year, with first over C&D in April and latest at Lingfield (AW) last month; disappointing back at this track last time but he may have done too much too soon and he's capable of bouncing back; in the mix for in-form yard. |

18th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 68y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Proven winner who can pull hard and did so the last time he went this far (over C&D two summers ago); things didn't pan out his way latest but there's little wiggle room off this mark back on turf after a short break. |
7/1 |
|
5th 3 (4) |
26th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 5f 66y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Prevailed narrowly at Chelmsford (1m6f) last time to complete a hat-trick; climbing back up the weights but warrants respect in current form. |
4/1 |
|
1st 4 (8) |
26th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Likeable sort who is back in fine form of late and arrives on a hat-trick after bagging a pair of 1m6f/1m4f handicaps at Southwell; up another 3lb but he rates a big player once more. |

4th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Big prices all starts and has not shown enough in turf and AW handicaps (1m, 1m3f, 1m4f) to think she can be competitive today; first-time cheekpieces replace blinkers. |
50/1 |
|
6 (9) |
4th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |

Yet to be placed from five starts and not progressing; first-time blinkers go on but hard to fancy. |

11th Jun 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Well beaten on AW on his first three starts (1m-9.5f) and he beat only one rival home on handicap debut at Newbury (1m, good) 26 days ago; much more needed now up in trip back on AW. |

Scored over the extended 1m5f at Chelmsford last summer and was seemingly back in good form when running on well for third over 2m there last month; doesn't often run on Tapeta but could have a say. |

4th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Got off the mark at the 21st attempt under an inspired ride by today's rider Matthew Lloyd Slater at Leicester (1m4f, good to firm) last month; needs to be kidded along and his resolution is more key than the 4lb rise he now picks up but should go close. |
5/1 |
|
9 (8) |
17th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 179y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Some mixed results this year but he wasn't far away over C&D (good to firm) in June and was as close as he's ever been to a first win when beaten a neck at Yarmouth (1m2f) last week; on the premises. |
7/1 |
|
8 (4) |
9th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 23y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
0-19; best form for this yard when second in an AW classified in January, when wearing a tongue-tie and cheekpieces; that headgear combination was swapped for a hood when a respectable fourth at Leicester (also 1m4f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; drop back to this trip not an obvious plus. |

All seven wins have been on AW (four over C&D) but last win was in 2023; ran his best race for some time when fourth of 12 at Kempton (1m3f, AW) in June; impossible to rule out but needs more. |
10/1 |

11th Jun 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 6 |

Often front-runs; three-time course winner (1m4f/2m) but he's without a win in two years; struggled in two starts on AW in December and he was beaten 59l at Windsor (good to firm) nine days ago; needs the switch of headgear to spark a revival. |

Sole success came over C&D last August off today's mark; had excuses when bit slipped through the mouth at Windsor in June, and was lit up by first-time cheekpieces (retained) last time; needs to step up nevertheless. |

2nd Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 6 |

Her win came on AW but she has run to a similar level on turf; lacklustre seasonal return at Bath six weeks ago but could prove a different proposition with that run behind her. |

13th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Twice narrowly beaten at Ayr (2m4f, soft) in the winter but he has struggled to get competitive at Musselburgh, Ayr and here in his last three starts; mark is manageable and trainer won a division of this last year with Follow Charlie but he needs a revival in fortunes. |
12/1 |

6th 9 |
24th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |

Dual Flat winner who showed best hurdles form when going very close at Ayr (2m4f, soft) in January/February, latterly to The Coffey Boy; does need to shrug off two lesser runs since, though. |

Dual Flat winner who showed best hurdles form when going very close at Ayr (2m4f, soft) in January/February and ties in with The Coffey Boy on the latter effort; had excuses (unsuited by the track and/or removal of hood) at Musselburgh since; has been taking a good hold and may benefit from this drop back in trip; possibilities. |

21st Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |

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. |
