24th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Confirmed trailblazer who has won 13 races in his career (six on AW), but has finished out of the frame in all six starts over C&D; blinkers go on for the first time on his 86th start; others preferred. |

23rd Sep 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
One of the faster sprinters in training and he belatedly got off the mark for the year with a front-running win at Wolverhampton 17 days ago; 6lb rise against stronger opposition could find him out. |
8/1 |

1st 1 (3) |
6th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |

Trailblazing sprinter who got no peace up front when beaten favourite in a Racing League handicap last time; ran a stormer the time before at Haydock and should give it a good shot from stall 3; has form here. |

5th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 3 |
8st 8lb |
Beaten 13 times since his last win in March 2025 but he returned to form with close fourth at Chester three weeks ago and he has a good record over this C&D in the main; each-way claims. |

Yet to strike form after two starts this season but now 5lb lower than when placed in Epsom's Dash (5f, good) just over a year ago and has won on good to soft ground; can't be ruled out. |

7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Did well for new yard last autumn, winning three times (5f, AW/good to soft), and he has run some solid races in defeat in 2026; this will be just his third run at 6f and others bring more pressing claims. |

Did well for new yard last autumn, winning three times (5f, AW/good to soft), and he returned to form when second of six at Bath (5f, good) recently; however, he may prove vulnerable in this hotter contest. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 143y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Having his 50th career start and reliable in the main; close up last week at Nottingham (5f, good to firm) after racing up with the pace; each-way chance. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 6 (2) |
2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 8y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Ended his last campaign in good form and he reappeared with a respectable fourth at Beverley (5f, good) 16 days ago; he could show the benefit of that latest outing today and he's run some good races over this C&D. |
3/1 |
|
4th 4 (6) |
16th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
C&D winner who was in good form last autumn; the booking of the promising Jake Dickson catches the eye, but he's been off for over seven months and doesn't have a great record when fresh. |

6th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Come to hand early in previous seasons but hasn't offered much in two runs back this time; now 11lb lower than when winning at Chelmsford last summer, which shows how things have gone since; needs a major revival. |
12/1 |
|
5th 3 (2) |
3rd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Most of his success has come on AW but he showed at Nottingham last spring that he could get the job done on turf (5f, good); looked as though his recent seasonal return would bring him on and his lacklustre end to 2025 has seen him drop to a dangerous mark. |
11/2 |

4th 6 (6) |
17th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Not seen in six months, but finished first and second in two starts over C&D as a 3yo, on each occasion when returning from an absence; 6lb below last winning mark; worth a second look. |

17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Three wins include a successful stable debut at Brighton (5.5f, good to firm) and he wasn't beaten far under a penalty when fourth of five at Lingfield (5f, AW) three weeks ago; career-high mark but he's respected. |
7/2 |
|
4th 2 (1) |
27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 4f 217y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Yet another to win first time out for this yard when turning in a career-best effort at Brighton last Sunday; makes appeal under a penalty for that, especially with Jack Callan taking off 3lb, and he looks to have Ancient State to worry about. |
5/4 |
|
1st 4 (3) |
21st Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 60y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Two wins for Jack Jones last year, a 6f novice (good to firm) at this track and a 5f handicap at Windsor (good to firm); ended 2025 with two lesser efforts and he was again below par on his seasonal return in April; back down the weights as a result and he wouldn't be the first horse to be revived by a move to James Owen (same owners). |

30th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Successful over 5f at Southwell in November and showed he's still equally effective at 6f when runner-up there off this mark 24 days ago, both under today's rider Jack Nicholls; another to consider. |
11/2 |
|
7th 8 (7) |
24th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
6f turf winner as a 2yo who was returning from 340 days off having been gelded when beaten just over a length into fifth of 14 over C&D last month, doing very well to finish that close after meeting all sorts of trouble; respected with a clearer run. |
8/1 |
|
5th 9 (7) |
21st Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Lightly raced 3yo; 6f winner on racecourse debut and similar form when third of ten in a soft-ground nursery at Catterick last October; absent since a lesser run on heavy two weeks later; market useful after absence on his AW debut; gelded since last seen. |

6th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 4 |

Lost his way and is now 10lb lower than when narrowly beaten over C&D early in the year; needs a revival but hasn't had conditions to suit on turf lately and ought to fare much better. |
10/1 |
|
10th 5 (9) |
13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 17y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
Speedy sort but his last two wins have been at 6f (AW); acts on good to soft and encouraging his best turf effort came on his sole start here (5f) back in 2024; last two efforts haven't been his best, however, and the draw hasn't been kind either. |

20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Reappeared with a close second at Musselburgh in April and she built on that when forging clear over C&D (good) last month; up 6lb but she has form figures of 3211 at this track and was as good as ever last time; big player. |
11/4 |
|
1st 2 (7) |
31st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Her front-running C&D win last May came off just 1lb lower; ended 2025 quietly but she returned to form after six months off, keeping on well for second at Musselburgh (5f, good) 32 days ago; takes on some less-exposed 3yos but likely to go well. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 2 (3) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Reappears off the mark she defied at Nottingham (5f, good to firm) last May and has won first time up before; also a creditable third on previous C&D visit; no surprise were she to go well. |
