9st 5lb |
C&D win last summer; best effort for some time when getting up late to beat Havana Touch by a nose at Lingfield six weeks ago (7f, AW); a 2lb rise shouldn't prevent another prominent showing. |

A three-time 7f/1m AW winner in 2025; back on song when runner-up to Bella Bisbee over C&D 16 days ago, so must enter calculations nudged up 1lb. |

Conditions to suit and he is back to the same mark off which he beat Captain Parma here in October; not at his best at Southwell last week but he is the type to bounce back quickly. |

23rd Oct 2025 Soft 1m 0f 75y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Her French win came on soft ground (5f) in blinkers, which she wears for the first time in Britain today; one to watch in the betting but she's been well beaten at big odds on both runs for this yard (6f/7f, AW). |

2nd Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Ex-Andre Fabre; won a 5f turf maiden in April 2023 having finished a close second on Polytrack on her previous start (6.5f); below her best since, including on stable debut after 827-day break last time (66-1). |

2nd Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
In fair form in second half of 2024, winning 7f Salisbury maiden (good to firm) before finishing third in Southwell novice (6f); had a wind op afterwards; best of her three runs this year when 3.5l seventh of nine at Windsor last time (6f, good); return to 7f could suit. |

Won a Salisbury maiden (7f, good to firm) a year ago, but having undergone wind surgery has been well beaten in both starts over C&D since returning in June; best watched for now. |

5th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Won at Musselburgh (7f, good) last August and also effective on Tapeta; he may have needed his sole run this year (well beaten at Catterick in April) but his profile is very up and down and claims aren't compelling. |
9/1 |

10th 4 (3) |
8th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Inconsistent last year but won at Musselburgh (7f, good) in August on his third handicap start and wasn't beaten far in fifth at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) when last seen; remains lightly raced and could be a contender. |
10/1 |

18th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |

Raised his game when readily seeing off seven rivals in a 7f handicap at Musselburgh in August; short of that level in two runs since and needs to bounce back quickly. |

Two wins this summer, including at this track (1m) off 3lb higher in July; struggled since but Kieran O'Neill back on board today and a revival wouldn't be a complete bolt from the blue. |

15th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Consistent record on AW features two wins; far less solid on turf form (finishing positions read 790) and can be opposed in a competitive affair kept to this sphere. |
25/1 |

11th 5 (7) |
21st Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Doubled his tally on the AW when winning at Chelmsford (7f; first-time visor) in February and he was a close third there next time; however, below best in both starts on turf, including at Doncaster (7f, good to soft) 23 days ago; headgear last five starts but not today. |

29th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |

Consistent AW handicapper who ran creditably last time when bidding for a Chelmsford double (7f); can remain competitive provided the form is transferred back to turf (second attempt). |

9st 8lb |
Both wins have been on AW, latest over C&D off 4lb higher in March; ran best race since when 3l second to a well-backed subsequent winner at Kempton last week (7f; blinkers on for second time); headgear retained; chance. |
4/1 |

2nd 2 (7) |
24th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

4lb higher than for his Chelmsford win in March; his other success came over C&D in January 2024; has the ability to feature but he's disappointed at Lingfield (AW) and Brighton on last two starts; headgear now returns. |

2nd Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Has been in good form since cheekpieces went on, winning last two races, over 6f at Chepstow and last time by 0.5l over 7f at Lingfield; up 12lb (5lb rise for last win); contender. |

21st May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Fine on Tapeta but all his wins have come on Polytrack, including twice last spring at Chelmsford; still dangerous when dipping into this company but he's unpredictable now and 7f round here is enough of a test. |
7/1 |
|
11th 12 (2) |
8th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
8st 4lb |
Capable on his day and 1lb below his last winning mark, but now at the veteran stage and recent form has an uneven look to it; others more compelling. |
40/1 |
|
6th 7 (8) |
10th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Two C&D wins; has been racing over 7f, a rival forcing a dead-heat off this mark at Chelmsford last May, but he had won over 6f there last March; finished a fair runner-up when making the running again here last month but likely more needed for the win. |
