16th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Eight C&D wins, the most recent off current mark in August; not in the same form since and was behind a few of today's rivals last time. |

29th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Has struggled on his last three starts but always a force to be reckoned with at this track having registered an eighth win here on his last visit in August (1m, good; ridden by Oliver Carmichael); only 2lb higher. |

Resumed winning ways at Brighton (1m) in August and not disgraced when fifth of nine in 1m Salisbury handicap 16 days ago; shortlisted. |

14th Sep 2025 Heavy 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Took a big step forward on just his second go in handicaps when runner-up at Salisbury (1m) 16 days ago, hampered last 1f and awarded race; up 2lb but he remains unexposed at this trip; player. |
7/2 |

29th Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Smart sprinting pedigree but he's raced only at about 7f, keeping on at just the one pace when sixth of 12 on handicap debut at Doncaster (good to soft; first start since gelded) in July; might prefer quicker ground but he moves up to 1m with something to find. |
9/1 |

6th 1 (4) |
23rd Jul 2025 Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Soundly beaten on all three starts (7f/7.3f) and improvement is needed on handicap debut; however, he's been gelded since his last run last month which could help him tap into the considerable potential in his pedigree. |

1st Jul 2026 Firm 1m 3f 137y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
7f win for Ed Walker as a 2yo; modest form on Flat and over hurdles for new yard this year; Royal Ascot was fanciful latest and although this is more realistic, others still bring more compelling claims. |
25/1 |
|
13th 13 (11) |
20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 5f 143y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
7f winner for previous yard but very minor form under both codes for this one and it would be the shock of all shocks if he won this. |
250/1 |
|
6th 7 |
22nd May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Won over 7f on the Flat for Ed Walker in 2024; has shown only modest form in two runs over hurdles for current yard. |

3rd 4 (11) |
16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Has three course wins over 1m but has found it tougher going this year; slowly easing in the weights but dropping back to 7f is not enough to tempt. |
16/1 |
|
5th 2 (5) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Record over C&D reads 1112; getting on and has not been at his best this year but this task is easier, down in class having been dropped another 2lb; ought to fare much better. |

14th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Tough type who has been on the go since last December, winning at Nottingham and just touched off at Leicester (both at about 1m), but seemingly suited by the shortest trip he's tackled this year when making all over C&D 11 days ago; back up 3lb; can go well again. |
13/8 |
|
1st 7 (6) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Consistent since his Nottingham win in April (good) and latest race at Hamilton for which he was favourite didn't go to plan; ideally wants further, however. |
6/1 |
|
6th 5 (4) |
10th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 68y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Took advantage of a drop back in trip and ease in grade (into a Class 6) when scrambling home at Nottingham (8.5f, good; from 3lb lower) in April; beaten by a nose off this mark at Leicester (1m) in May and consistent since; possible. |

12th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Landed his third win at Chepstow (7f, good to soft) last month and ran up to that form when runner-up back there (soft) six days ago; still on a workable mark and holds claims. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 9 (2) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 16y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Gained a second C&D victory when getting up late in 11-runner handicap last month; up 2lb but that form is working out well so he must enter calculations. |
9/2 |
|
1st 5 (8) |
21st May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 16y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Better than ever when readily seeing off 11 rivals at Southwell (7f) under Gina Mangan in January; never involved over 1m at Doncaster next time but shaped as if still in form when fourth back at Southwell (7f) 23 days ago. |

9th Jun 2026 Soft 1m 1f 201y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
All five of her wins have been at Bath (1m/1m2f) with four of them on soft/heavy, the latest over 1m2f in October off a 4lb lower mark than today's; third in both starts over this C&D and she's proven fresh, so is of some interest on her first start for 188 days. |
20/1 |

1st 6 (7) |
30th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 2f 37y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Loves it here and beat nine rivals with ease on her latest visit in September (1m, heavy); a 5lb rise could have been worse and she stays this far. |

1st Jul 2026 Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Scored readily off this mark/under Ashley Lewis last October (1m, AW); turf win came over C&D but looks best watched here having ran so poorly in refitted cheekpieces at Salisbury 17 days ago (finished three places behind Sant Alessio). |
20/1 |
|
10th 7 (1) |
14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Placed three consecutive times on turf (1m, good to form-heavy) in refitted cheekpieces in September and won on Polytrack (1m) the following month; made satisfactory reappearance ten days ago (no headgear) and is of interest with cheekpices back on again here. |

9st 6lb |
Won at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) and followed up from the front at Wolverhampton (9.4f), albeit narrowly; however, ground slower than good is looking an issue. |
15/2 |

6th 4 (9) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 11y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Improved to win at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) and followed up from the front at Wolverhampton (9.4f), albeit by the skin of her teeth; only 2lb higher so remains on a competitive mark, but slow ground hasn't looked ideal previously. |

14th Sep 2025 Heavy 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Consistent maiden who signed off for Tom Clover with a solid fifth of eight in 1m Kempton handicap last August; subsequently changed hands for 4,600gns and she needs to hit the ground running for her new yard here. |

28th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |

Maiden who isn't particularly solid on her 6f-1m form for current stable; bred to stay further but failed to convince with her stamina over middle distances for previous yard. |
20/1 |
|
8th 5 (1) |
28th Jan 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Inconsistent maiden who possibly needs soft/heavy ground; has achieved little in two starts since returned to AW; enough to prove. |

8th 5 (1) |
17th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Ten-race maiden; finished second at Bath last September but that was 1m on heavy ground; too much to prove dropped in trip. |
