20th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Winless since 2022 and returned three poor efforts over the past year; would be a surprise winner back from four months off. |
50/1 |

9th 9 (2) |
22nd May 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
A seven-time winner over 6f, with the latest of those coming in August 2022; failed to beat a rival home in his last two outings and he's opposable from out of the weights on his first start since March. |

21st May 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Dual course winner (6f/7f) and 3lb lower than when successful at Wolverhampton (6f, Tapeta) last September, but he can't be entertained on his performances in the meantime. |
25/1 |
|
18th 13 (1) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
The winner of 13 races, but just three of them have been on turf; yet to shine this year and he was behind a few of today's rivals over C&D last week. |
20/1 |
|
12th 14 (12) |
10th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Winner of 13 races and just 1lb higher than for the latest, but quiet in two starts at Southwell (6f, AW) since returning in February; needs to step up. |

31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Triple course winner who is on a dangerous mark but he's been out of sorts at big prices in his four runs this season; has plenty to prove and all of his nine wins have been over 6f. |
25/1 |
|
8th 7 (4) |
18th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Won this last year, one of three C&D victories, for Charlie Tucker off a 2lb higher mark in a small field; yard enjoying a better spell of late and this may have been the plan but he doesn't arrive in the same form as last year; the years might be catching up. |
20/1 |
|
6th 5 (5) |
16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Conditions to suit and this veteran is likely to find more races this year; the evidence of his two runs in 2026 suggests he may need some more help from the handicapper before he is of renewed interest though. |

27th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Made most when scoring at Wolverhampton (6f) last month and he has run two solid races in defeat since; well drawn to attack but there are other pace influences on show and his 5f efforts need bettering. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 8 (5) |
17th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Registered his second win when scoring over C&D last month off 5lb lower; went close to following up when going down by half a length at Lingfield (6f, AW) 13 days ago and may be worth persevering with at present. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 3 (10) |
4th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
C&D winner in September and doubled his tally when making all at Wolverhampton a month ago (second run in cheekpieces); drawn wide but off only 3lb higher he's considered. |

2nd Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
She's failed to shine on turf this year but has finished second at Wolverhampton on two of her last three starts (5f, AW) and she won here last summer; has a big part to play if the return to grass isn't an issue. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 5 (3) |
26th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Three wins for Ollie Sangster last year, including at this track (6f); best run for new yard when second in a C&D classified race last month and a subsequent defeat in a Newmarket Class 4 is easy to overlook; each-way shout back down in grade. |
7/1 |
|
10th 10 (4) |
15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 2lb |
Dual turf winner who normally plies her trade in a lower grade and her second of six a fortnight ago came in a classified event; 7lb out of the handicap and will likely find this too tall an order. |

1st Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Form dipped after winning over 6f here (3-1; from 4lb higher) in July 2025; left Martin Dunne for 14,000gns and failed to beat a rival on first start for this trainer at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm) over six weeks ago; drops back in trip. |
11/1 |
|
7th 5 (4) |
23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Dual 6f AW winner for Martin Dunne, latterly at Wolverhampton last July; mostly struggled since and now makes his stable debut/reappearance having been secured for 14,000gns. |
11/1 |
|
12 (8) |
25th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Just 1lb higher than when winning over C&D in July but well held in five starts since, including two back here; needs a resurgence. |

20th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Promising 2yo debut and had excuses for two subsequent defeats (finished lame on final start); beat a subsequent winner on her handicap debut in July (since withdrawn on soft ground) and remains open to improvement upped 6lb. |
7/2 |
|
1st 2 (5) |
28th Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Regressive form when well held in three maidens (6f/7f) last season; now switches to a handicap but she needs a transformation after 311 days off. |

3rd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
All five of his wins have come at Newcastle; it has been a long time since the last of them but a second wind op seemed to do the trick earlier in the year, finishing second at Chelmsford and over C&D; absent since March but he has to be taken seriously off his lowly mark. |
5/2 |
|
2nd 7 (4) |
11th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Four wins, two seconds and two thirds to his name from ten runs over C&D and bounced back to form 18 days ago (7f, Polytrack) on his first start since undergoing a second round of wind surgery; on a very attractive mark if building on that. |

1st Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Largely consistent maiden who had good to soft ground as an excuse for her below-par run at Goodwood in early June; not seen since but was second over C&D off 1lb higher on her latest visit to Wolverhampton (April) and also ran well the only previous time she wore cheekpieces (May). |

4th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Poor strike-rate and he hasn't been at his best since finishing second at Southwell in October; slipping down the weights but others arrive in better form. |
12/1 |
|
10th 10 (1) |
30th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Just one win from his 21 starts but he was twice a runner-up over C&D last autumn and he is now 4lb lower than for the second of those efforts; recent runs need bettering if he is to take this though. |
16/1 |
|
6th 6 (4) |
1st Nov 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Just one win from 17 starts (5.5f, good to firm; off 3lb lower mark) but he comes here on the back of two good second-place finishes at Southwell; clear of the third on latter occasion and a 2lb rise justified; should be in the thick of it. |

8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Dual 6f AW winner; returned from break with low-key turf run over that trip last month and has never run over 5f before; swaps visor (worn for last six races) for refitted cheekpieces; others have more pressing claims. |
10/1 |
|
10th 11 (14) |
1st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Two AW wins over this trip but he wasn't at his best when last seen in March; his three turf starts are all excusable to some degree and he could prove as effective on grass in time. |

Placed twice here this year (5.2f/6f) but ran poorly at Bath last month and it's now exactly two years since her last win; difficult to enthuse over. |
10/1 |

6th 6 (6) |
15th Jul 2026 Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Multiple 6f winner, including on fast ground; losing run now at 31 (placed twice at Brighton this year); not written off but has yet to win over this shorter trip. |
