21st May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 16y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Two AW wins (6f and 5f) from his last five starts and running well on turf too; not beaten far when third of five at Salisbury (5f, good to firm) this month; player if this forecast slower ground is no issue. |

3rd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Won twice on turf last year (as well as once on AW) and he has continued on an upward curve in 2026, winning for the third time this season when making all at Wolverhampton 12 days ago; that was his first success at this trip and there could be more to come at 5f; 6lb rise demands progress though. |

21st Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won twice on the AW this year, the most recent from a 2lb lower mark at Kempton (6f); creditable third on turf at Leicester (6f, good; 3-1 favourite) last week; how he'll cope with dropping back to 5f (0-4) remains to be seen; isn't discounted. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Still consistent but hasn't won in three years and isn't as good now; just a fair comeback effort over 5f here 12 days ago in second-time cheekpieces (has often worn a visor) but won't mind going back up in trip now he's had a run. |

22nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Scored here in (good to soft) in her final 3yo run and she started this campaign with another brave win over C&D (firm) last month; that took her Bath record to 2-2 and she's remains feasibly treated off only 2lb higher; key player. |
11/4 |

1st 2 (4) |
29th Apr 2026 Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Went close at Goodwood (6f, good to soft) in September and got off the mark at the ninth attempt when winning over this C&D (good to soft) in October; off since and now returns to quicker ground off this 3lb higher mark. |
2/1 |

Becoming expensive to follow, but never closer to a first victory than when headed only inside the distance at Goodwood (6f, good to soft); this intermediate trip looks worth a go, and 2lb re-raise is fair. |

30th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Veteran who popped up at Newbury (6f, good to soft) in June; hasn't matched that in four runs since but is back down to that winning mark; still needs to turn the ship around. |
16/1 |
|
8th 11 (9) |
8th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Veteran who popped up in a Class 5 at Newbury in June (6f, good to soft); hasn't matched that in three runs since and although he's often run well here, he's yet to win at the track; minor money perhaps his best hope. |
16/1 |

4th 1 (2) |
25th Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 3y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Understandably not the force of old now a 10yo but he registered the ninth win of his long career when beating ten rivals at Newbury (6f, good to firm) in June; held in a couple of Class 4 events since but he's won here in the past and is not ruled out on this drop back in grade. |

29th May 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 9lb
|
Has a good C&D record which includes two wins in February, and there wasn't much she could do about her latest defeat on this track, when third to one well ahead of his mark; down in grade and one to consider in first-time headgear. |
7/1 |

3rd 12 (8) |
13th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 42y Class 3 |
8st 10lb |
Has won twice over 5f at Wolverhampton since joining this yard, with the most recent success coming off 3lb lower; solid effort at Southwell (6f) 13 days ago but now steps up in grade on this switch back to turf. |
25/1 |
|
3rd 7 (3) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
All three wins have been on Tapeta including two in a row at Wolverhampton (5f) in February; no impact in last two starts but she had some traffic issues at Wolverhampton last time and this step back up in trip is no problem; not ruled out. |

5th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
One C&D success among a magnificent total of 13 wins; below best at Epsom last week but he showed he retains plenty of ability since absence when a front-running second of eight at Lingfield (6f, AW) in June; can give it a good shot from rail draw back on AW. |
7/1 |
|
6th 7 (5) |
25th Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 3y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
10yo who has won 13 times, including twice over C&D; last success was in 2023 but he's well treated on old form and was a front-running second on AW when last seen in June; dangerous back from a break. |
3/1 |
|
8 (6) |
5th Jun 2025 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Conditions to suit and he's on a good mark but this veteran has been well beaten in two runs since returning from a long absence and this looks a tough race in which to bounce back. |
