5th 9 (1) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Prominent racer who won classified events at Wolverhampton (9.4f) and Lingfield (1m2f) in January but he's found things tough back in handicaps in his last three runs; has something to prove again and his sole turf win was in May 2023. |
25/1 |

5th 2 (2) |
5th May 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Won twice in January, including over 9.4f here, and he is back to a winning mark after three disappointing runs this spring; not a solid option. |
8/1 |
|
8th 9 (2) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Turf winner back in May 2023 who found classified company his thing when going back-to-back on AW (9.5f/1m2f) in January; forced out of that grade subsequently and has found handicaps a stretch on last three starts. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Turf winner who was in good nick on AW during the winter and he scraped home to secure Lingfield classified (1m2f) in January; another solid effort when runner-up in similar event last time and he's respected back on grass after two-month break. |
12/1 |
|
2nd 10 (12) |
25th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Goes well round here (AW and turf), including when just holding off Iftikhaar in a weak affair over C&D in January; continued in form since and is more likely than most at this level to give his running; each-way shout. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 5 (1) |
25th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
1m2f win here last month has been followed by good efforts back here and at Chelmsford (behind Man Is King); returning to a mile unlikely to be a problem and he's one to consider. |

4th 6 (10) |
4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 15y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Won a classified race at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) in February in a first-time visor; however, down the field at Lingfield (1m2f, AW) in March and well beaten back over hurdles in April; needs to get back on track. |
9/1 |
|
5th 3 |
5th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Seemingly aided by first-time visor when winning basement-grade AW race in February but was below that form on latest Flat start, and this is his first hurdle run since he was pulled up here (2m4f, good) on handicap debut last June; no headgear today; others have more pressing claims. |
14/1 |
|
8th 7 (11) |
25th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Finally off the mark when beating Desiderata at Wolverhampton a month ago; always in the right place in a messy affair (first-time visor) that night and history suggests he's no good thing to reproduce the effort. |

17th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Winless since his 3yo days but has gone close a few times over C&D; patchy since returning from an absence, cracking late in first-time cheekpieces latest having made a lot of the running. |
16/1 |
|
8th 2 (10) |
12th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won two C&D handicaps at the end of 2022, but 0-25 since; fourth in a couple of similar contest last month including over C&D and holds frame possibiltities again with cheekpieces given a go. |

25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Back to form with a near-miss at Lingfield (1m2f, AW) in January but he's taken backward steps in two runs since; overall record is now 1-37 and others are preferred. |
33/1 |
|
6th 3 (5) |
25th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Chased home Monks Mead in a similar event (1m2f) here last month; another fair effort ten days later and dropping back to a mile shouldn't hinder him; strike-rate of 1-36 does temper enthusiasm though. |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won on his second stable start (and second run since wind surgery) in 14-runner handicap at Catterick (1m4f) last month, getting up late having lost a lot of ground when hampered around half a mile out; big player here. |

11th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 13y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Five-time Flat winner who landed a novice hurdle last March; it's been slim pickings in the main since and he was soundly beaten on his recent stable debut at Southwell; however, he was sent off the 4-1 joint-favourite and it will be interesting to see if his backers return. |

31st Jan 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Exposed 29-race maiden; not beaten far over 7f last time but wait for elusive first success set to continue over this trip. |
16/1 |
|
9th 6 (3) |
16th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Exposed 27-race maiden; stays this trip and has run well at Chelmsford in the past (7f) so he's not without hope in an uncompetitive race. |
8/1 |
|
11 (3) |
11th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Still a maiden after 26 starts but he went close at Lingfield (1m, AW) last month and has run respectably over 7f there in last two starts; usually comes from off the pace and has claims if this sets up for the closers. |

31st Jan 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Veteran who showed his first worthwhile form following a long absence when fourth, beaten 3.25l, behind Al Baahy at Wolverhampton 12 days ago (cheekpieces first time); far from certain to be in the same form again. |
20/1 |
|
4th 7 (6) |
19th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
C&D winner two years ago but he's beaten a total of two rivals in six starts for new trainer following an absence; cheekpieces are now added and he needs a major revival. |
20/1 |
|
13th 2 (4) |
4th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Three-time winner, most recently over 9.4f at Wolverhampton early in 2024, but has very weak form claims on what he's shown this year. |
66/1 |
