11th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Has a modest 2-39 strike-rate, but his latest win came over C&D in December and he is back off the same mark; worth a second look. |

1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Has modest 2-39 strike-rate, with both wins gained on AW, and tends to race too freely but the form of his never-dangerous fourth at Brighton (7f, good to firm) at end of June has worked out well; worth a second look. |

21st Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Poor strike-rate (1-30); beaten a neck over 6f at Southwell (Class 6) in February but less productive in three subsequent appearances (6f-7f), although with mitigating circumstances (saddle slipped) latest. |
11/2 |

5th 5 (10) |
11th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Winless since August 2024 but he comes here in decent nick, fifth of nine in 7f Lingfield handicap 17 days ago; place prospects off an easing mark. |
8/1 |
|
5th 1 (9) |
25th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Effective at 6f and 7f but his sole win was in a Carlisle novice in August 2024; went close off this mark at Southwell (6f, Tapeta) last month but was never involved when a remote fourth there last time; that was behind a handicap blot but he needs to step up again after that. |

1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
2-5 over C&D; scrambled home to justify favouritism from Operation Gimcrack (runs in first division) in this last year; placed numerous times since, including at Yarmouth (7f; 10-1) on penultimate start; slow start scuppered chance latest. |
5/1 |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |

Both turf wins have been over C&D on good to firm, the latest last August; close third to a subsequent winner at Yarmouth last time (7f, good to firm) and has a fair chance here. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 2 (8) |
2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Both wins on turf have been at Doncaster (7f) on good to firm; close third of 11 at Newcastle (7f, AW) in December but ran below his best when last seen 147 days ago; break may have done him some good. |

17th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Recorded his 12th AW win when scoring at Wolverhampton (8.6f) last month but he flopped under a penalty there eight days later; has bit to prove again after that heavy defeat but he has won three of his last seven starts and is capable of bouncing back. |
10/1 |

22nd Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Beat a serial loser of late over C&D three weeks ago, taking Hector Crouch's record on him to 2-2; 4lb rise is of no great concern considering he's been rated much higher in the past; handy draw. |
5/1 |
|
1st 1 (6) |
1st Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Nine of his 12 wins have been on AW, the latest from 5lb higher at Chelmsford (1m, Polytrack) in March; not beaten far into fourth of 13 at Brighton (1m, soft) last month and he has to be of interest in this field. |

31st Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Always liked it here but is high in the weights currently and hasn't convinced over this longer trip in a few attempts; needs to bounce back from a couple of lesser efforts on turf. |
16/1 |

5th 3 (9) |
28th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 6 |
10st 1lb |
Went up 5lb for winning a match over C&D (soft) last month and was well held off this mark at Nottingham (1m, good to firm) last time; others look better treated. |
7/1 |
|
5th 1 (4) |
25th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Six-time winner (6f/7f), including when coming out on top in a match race under Joe Bradnam at Yarmouth (7f, soft) two weeks ago; has form on the AW over 1m but a 5lb rise for that latest success demands a bit more. |

30th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Best run of her six was the Southwell fourth on second start (6f); hasn't been that threatening in three handicaps (7f/1m), latterly tried in a tongue-tie (absent here); must raise her game. |
14/1 |
|
4 (8) |
18th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Well treated on the form of April's Southwell novice fourth (6f) but no threat on either handicap start latterly (7f, 1m) and tongue-tie is now reached for; switch to turf no concern on pedigree, at least. |
25/1 |

9th Jul 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Failed to build on earlier promise on her handicap debut when seventh of 13 at Chelmsford (7f) 34 days ago; remains low mileage so she could still do better. |

30th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

Has been running well for a while now and was only a length away last week at Ffos Las (extended 7f); however, finds winning extremely hard with a strike-rate of 1-41. |

8 (10) |
22nd Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 80y Class 6 |

Has modest 1-40 strike-rate but scores very high marks for her consistency on turf/AW over the last year or so; runner-up off today's mark at Southwell (1m, AW) three weeks ago; probably on the premises again here. |

17th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Six-time Flat winner; well beaten on hurdling debut in Ireland in 2024 but displayed clear promise when four twice in novice company in April (2m, good), and his opening handicap hurdle mark does not look daunting. |
3/1 |
|
4th 3 |
22nd Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Six-time Flat winner including five on AW (1m-1m2f) since December; unexposed over hurdles and was fair fourth of 13 back in this sphere at Hereford (2m, good; 12-1) last week; should have more to offer as a jumper but this looks a tough task against Un Sens A La Vie. |
14/1 |
|
4th 7 |
16th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 53y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Had one run over hurdles, finishing tailed off in a maiden in late 2024; multiple Flat winner since December and wasn't beaten far at Pontefract last week (1m; stays 1m4f); should run well if jumping stands the test. |
