21st Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
2-41 with last win at Lingfield (7f) last December off 1lb higher; has shown bits of form since and is down to a career-low mark so cannot be left out of calculations. |

Not beaten far in a turf handicap here last month and he wasn't beaten far as favourite over C&D ten days later; Billy Loughnane booked; drawn wide but not discounted. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 3y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Reportedly appreciated return to AW surface when bouncing back to peak form with win at Southwell (1m) 17 days ago; doesn't have much margin for error after 4lb rise and it's curious to see him back on turf so quickly. |
9/1 |

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. |

28th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 6 |

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. |

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. |

Just one win from her 42 starts; hard to crab her consistency but she's back up in class in a deep race for the grade. |

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. |

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. |

11st 13lb |
Won six times on the Flat for James Owen between 1m-1m2f; 0-4 over hurdles although he was in the process of running a good race until making a costly error two out on his handicap debut at Worcester (2m, good) in June; makes stable debut and should run well. |

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. |
