17th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Fairly useful on his day but is on a long losing sequence and current mark reflects a general decline in his form; a regular at Newcastle and rarely seen at Wolverhampton. |

19th Feb 2026 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Losing run stretches back to December 2023; ran okay over C&D in November off a 7lb higher mark but he hasn't built on it since. |

30th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Losing run stretches back to December 2023; not beaten far at Newcastle in November (7f) but that is flanked by lesser efforts; blinkers back on today but others appeal more. |

16th Oct 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Popped up over C&D (good) when beating Reginald Charles in June but after a subsequent run of placings he appears to have gone off the boil; did show a bit more on AW three weeks ago, however, and he's dipped below that winning mark; might go well at attractive odds. |

25th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Had a brief consistent spell that was initiated by Redcar success but his form has dipped sharply in last two starts; yet to win beyond 7f. |

9th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Three-time winner whose last success came over this C&D (good; possibly flattered by racing in a small breakaway group) in June; only 2lb higher but he stopped abruptly over a mile last time; may do better back at 7f. |

30th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Off the mark for 2026 when readily seeing off ten rivals at Ayr (7f, good) in July; well short of that level back at Ayr 13 days ago; disappointed as favourite in one run at Musselburgh. |
8/1 |

17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Has gained five of his nine wins over C&D, the latest in July (good); freshened up a respectable fourth back here eight days later; won't mind what the ground does. |

13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Gained five of his nine wins over C&D, the latest eight days ago (good ground); still on workable mark under 4lb penalty and ought to be right in the thick of things again. |

1st Nov 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
First 7f win at Newmarket in May; just 1-22 on the AW but this surface suits and he was unlucky in his sole C&D run, when runner-up in September, and looks well worth another go back over this trip. |

9st 7lb |
All bar one of his seven wins has come over 6f, but he has finished runner-up in both goes over this trip including here; still 6lb above his last winning mark, though, so needs to find a bit more. |

30th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
16-race maiden but she went close in C&D handicap (good to firm) in July; return to AW didn't go well, when stuck behind some rivals and last at Newcastle (6f) last month; no surprise if she fares better this time. |
10/1 |

14th 12 (13) |
20th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
15-race maiden; in fair form on turf this summer, placed over 6f twice before fair 7f efforts on her last starts; the return to 6f won't hurt and she did run well on AW once when trained in Ireland. |

12th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Suited by Ripon and he held off an in-form rival in convincing fashion there (1m, good) in July; mixed otherwise this year and he needs to prove that the return to 7f round here will suit. |
14/1 |

6th 3 (7) |
5th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Up and down this season, and well beaten since his 1m win at Ripon in July; has good C&D form but not certain what to expect. |

3rd 9 (9) |
25th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
He was ending a near two-year losing run when popping up in a C&D handicap last week; doesn't tend to hold his form for too long but he did win back-to-back in 2024; not discounted under a penalty. |
6/1 |

1st 9 (8) |
19th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Has drawn a blank since back-to-back wins over 7f in autumn of 2024 and didn't show enough on recent return from six months here to warrant support. |
14/1 |
|
9th 10 (5) |
3rd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Won twice over C&D in the autumn of 2024; not running badly when last seen but he returns from six months off and likely vulnerable. |
16/1 |
