27th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Winless in 2025 but he is 3-6 over C&D and has settled matters quite emphatically on his last two starts; back up 3lb but weighted to have another race in him and it could well be this one. |

16th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |

Ended a lengthy losing run when beating Colors Of Freedom in a classified event over C&D two weeks ago (reported to have bled from nose); has 8lb rise to deal with back in a handicap but he remains well treated on old form and all three wins have been on AW; respected. |

1st Jun 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Three-time C&D winner who's well drawn for one happiest up front; only won one of her last 29 starts, which include 18 defeats at 6-1 or shorter, and she has a bit more on coming out of handicap company, but she usually gives her running round here. |
8/1 |

7th 6 (7) |
5th May 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Hard to knock her consistency since winning over C&D last June but her losing run is up to 22; should run her race again but more minor money could be here best hope. |
7/1 |
|
4th 11 (11) |
2nd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Hard to knock on the consistency front and Saturday's third over C&D (visored first time) was another solid effort; set to run her race once again but it might not be enough to end a losing run which stands at 21. |

2nd Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Maiden who has performed well over 5f at Wolverhampton a few times this winter; however, doesn't appear to be crying out for this return to 6f. |
8/1 |
|
6th 7 (3) |
13th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |

In-form maiden who ran well in first-time visor over C&D (classified) most recently, beating all bar a progressive sort who headed the betting; possibilities in the retained headgear. |
11/2 |

2nd 8 (9) |
27th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |

Ran well from the front when in first-time cheekpieces over C&D 11 days ago and now goes in a visor; each-way clains. |

16th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Just one win from 23 starts but that was over C&D last spring and he went close here three weeks ago; only 1lb higher in this similar race and has leading claims if he can repeat that form. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 7 (6) |
25th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Won a classified event over C&D in March 2025 but that remains his only success from 22 attempts; may have needed this month's return from six months off but likely vulnerable for win purposes once again. |
10/1 |
|
9th 8 (4) |
2nd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
C&D winner in March 2025; some fair runs since, including when second here three runs back; needs to bounce back from two lesser runs since (slowly away on first occasion). |

13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Losing run stretches back two years but he finished well for third behind Recon Mission here recently after missing the break; each-way chance. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 9 (10) |
2nd Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
8yo who is without a win since August 2024; however, he was beaten just a nose in a classified here (5.7f, firm) in July and 6f stretched him at Windsor last time; this seven-time course winner could play a leading role back here and back down in trip. |
13/2 |
|
7th 11 (5) |
17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Pipped by Jackie Brown in a 5.7f classified at Bath last time, with Sisters In The Sky finishing strongly another nose back; that was so nearly his first win for two years (8-81 overall) but coming fourth in 2022 was easily his best result from five visits here. |

17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
All five turf wins have been gained on galloping sprint courses, and he's netted a neck second (off 64) and a win in handicaps from two C&D starts; yet to pick up a classified in nine attempts, however, and not an unlucky loser in one at Southwell latest despite running short of room. |
3/1 |
|
6th 7 (2) |
18th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Multiple 5f/6f winner; has made a promising start to life with Ben Haslam this season, set a lot to do when fourth of nine in 5.5f Wetherby handicap two weeks ago; drops back into classified company now and this C&D scorer merits serious consideration. |
5/2 |
|
4th 9 (8) |
4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 110y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
No longer the force of old but has performed well on all four starts since joining Ben Haslam in March, most recently when keeping-on third at Musselburgh (5f, good) a fortnight ago; big player if this race is run to suit usual come-from-behind tactics. |

26th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Smart in his younger days but, given his form last winter, his 100-1 success in a 0-50 classified event over C&D in March was still a big shock; may have needed his comeback run over 5f here ten days ago but he finished last of seven and needs to leave that form a long way behind. |
25/1 |
|
7th 4 (8) |
16th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Smart in his younger days but, given his form last winter, his 100-1 success in a 0-50 classified event here (6f) in March was still a big shock; the drop back in trip may have helped, but he's been on the sidelines since that last run and this is tougher back in a handicap on his return. |
