25th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 4f 5y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Took a 14lb hit for winning a couple of classifieds in 2023 and won his first handicap in convincing fashion on his 2024 reappearance at Chelmsford (2m, AW); came back from a 469-day absence with a big defeat back there (1m6f) a fortnight ago and only market support would make him of interest. |

11th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Course winner over 2m on 2024 reappearance and placed on his two other AW starts last year; not seen for 469 days but evidently capable when fresh. |

29th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 11y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
A dual scorer (at up to 2m) at Ffos Las in 2025; back in good form this summer, fourth of nine in 1m5f AW handicap at Lingfield last month; possibilities. |
14/1 |

4th 2 (4) |
15th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Four-time Polytrack winner who came back to form last time and is 2lb lower than when last successful (turf) last summer; often fluffs the start and is usually held up, so the bigger field won't hurt; one to consider. |

18th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Won over 11.5f at Haydock in May off 4lb lower; comes here on the back of two fair efforts over further at Chelmsford but this looks more competitive and he will need to raise his game to win. |
6/1 |
|
6 (6) |
18th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 5f 66y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Winner at Haydock in May (1m4f) and mostly creditable efforts since, including third over 1m6f here last week; no extra towards the finish on that occasion so this evening's slightly shorter trip could be ideal. |
6/1 |
|
3 (1) |
11th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Winner at Haydock in May (1m4f); promising fourth on AW debut here (1m2f) in April and better than result (caught wide and went for home too soon) when fourth back on AW at Wolverhampton (1m4f) last time; first attempt at 1m6f. |

13th Oct 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
1m6f AW winner just over a year ago; uncompetitive in three runs as a hurdler but could have a future off this sort of mark now into handicaps; first-time visor replaces cheekpieces. |
8/1 |
|
5th 3 |
20th Sep 2026 Good 2m 4f 116y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Flat winner (1m6f, AW) who ran fairly well in that code when fourth at Kempton (2m, AW) last month; however, AW seems his preferred surface and he was soundly beaten on his two hurdle starts last season. |
10/1 |
|
4th 5 (3) |
5th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Back off the same mark as when making all at Wolverhampton (1m6f, Tapeta) last September when in the care of Jamie Osborne, but not at his best lately and similar tactics won't be easy in this field. |

2nd 3 (2) |
17th Sep 2026 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Won twice over C&D last autumn, including his stable debut in November off 2lb lower; his latest C&D second was a remote one and perhaps vulnerable for win purposes again. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 5 (5) |
5th Jul 2026 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Ran poorly last time, taking turf record to 0-6; broadly consistent on AW otherwise for current yard and he is 2-2 over C&D, the wins gained last autumn; 3-8 overall in this sphere; likely to be played late by Jamie Spencer (up for first time) and has possibilities back here. |
9/2 |
|
9th 8 (1) |
31st May 2026 Good 2m 0f 13y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Headgear helped on AW last September-December, including for 1m6f/2m hat-trick; peak form was not repeated this year, including in two small fields this spring but they were at 1m3f/1m4f; returning to 2m should be a big help but none of his turf form (five races) approaches this mark. |

30th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Triple AW winner at up to 13.5f, including easily over C&D against her own sex latest; a 5lb penalty may not prevent her from following up, provided that career-best form is repeated. |
11/4 |
|
1st 4 (3) |
23rd Jan 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Two wins since returned to AW in September and she's finished runner-up in her last four starts; didn't get much luck when a close second at Newcastle (1m4f, Tapeta) two weeks ago and she's a key player off only 1lb higher here. |
9/4 |
|
1 (3) |
4th Nov 2025 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 6 |
10st 1lb |
Nosed ahead close home at Chelmsford (1m5f) five days ago, taking record since racing in AW handicaps to 12331; incurs a penalty but Joe Bradnam takes off 7lb; gives impression she'll stay this new trip; solid. |
