9th 8 (8) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 3f 179y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Three-time winner, the most recent coming at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW) in November; runner-up there over 9.5f in April but he was well beaten at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) three weeks ago and needs to bounce back. |
16/1 |

10th 5 (16) |
23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Good run of turf form last summer included when making all at Yarmouth (1m2f, good to soft; acts on quicker) in July; mostly creditable efforts on AW since winning at Wolverhampton (1m4f) in November and he's far from ruled out back on grass despite tricky stall. |

Some good runs in defeat in November/December, including here, but not at the same level this year and he remains a maiden after 33 starts. |

19th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |

15th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 104y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Dual-purpose performer who ran well when last seen on the Flat in November, finishing third of 12 at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW); however, he's without a success since winning over hurdles two years ago and was well beaten in that sphere when last seen in May; cheekpieces return. |
5/1 |
|
10th 11 |
2nd May 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Dual purpose sort who hasn't stood much racing since winning here (2m4f, soft) in July 2024; first run in this sphere since when a faller at Hereford in December; may need further and softer conditions to be at his best. |
20/1 |
|
3rd 4 (4) |
4th Nov 2025 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Won over C&D in April last year after which he scored twice over hurdles; not beaten far into sixth of 12 here (1m6f) seven weeks ago, but that race was run at a crawl; others are more convincing. |

21st Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Has three wins on AW, including two here (one over C&D); tends to race freely and needs to settle better to fulfil his potential; second over hurdles two weeks ago. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 4 |
7th Apr 2026 Good 2m 2f 111y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Gained a third win on the AW in February (1m6f) but regressed in his last four starts; 0-6 as a hurdler and returns to this discipline for the first time since pulled up in a handicap last summer for Chris Grant; hardly solid but this is a poor race. |
100/30 |
|
8th 10 (4) |
31st Mar 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Successful three times (1m3f, 1m4f and 1m6f) this January/February, with the last two wins at this track; way below form on last two outings (headstrong on Saturday) but he has bounced back before. |

10th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Now at the veteran stage but has won five times and been placed on nine occasions around here; twice finished runner-up in similar events over C&D at the start of the year and another big effort seems likely. |
5/2 |
|
8th 7 (2) |
25th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
10st 11lb |
Six-time Tapeta winner who has finished runner-up in classified events at Wolverhampton (1m4f) in his last two starts; still looks feasibly treated back in a handicap and he's a big player if he can transfer his form back to Polytrack. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 4 (6) |
9th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |

1st Sep 2026 Good 1m 3f 198y Class 6 |

Won 1m4f/1m2f handicaps this year and latest fourth at Leicester wasn't too bad a run; no reason why he shouldn't be on the scene. |
3/1 |
|
4th 5 (2) |
9th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Won here (1m4f, good to firm) in May and he returned to form with a win over this C&D (good to firm) last month, with three of these behind; he's just 2lb higher today and could play another leading role. |
11/4 |
|
1st 5 (4) |
22nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Doubled his tally when winning here over 1m4f in May, coming from last to first, and he left the impression he's still in form when sixth of 11 at Pontefract two weeks ago; will need a good gallop now dropped back in trip, which he isn't sure to get. |

Doubled her tally when popping up at 28-1 at Southwell (1m3f, Tapeta; Karismatique third, Sisterandbrother fifth) ten days ago; 4lb penalty and she's not guaranteed to confirm those placings but can still make her presence felt again. |

Record over C&D reads 12171, but despite market strength he ran terribly on his return from 16 months off here (1m6f) 15 days ago; has a lot to prove after that, but interesting to see if his backers return. |
