3rd Feb 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 5 |

Nine-race maiden; promise last summer and she's slipped in the weights but she will need to step up on this winter's two runs; up in trip. |

23rd Jan 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Went close off 3lb higher at Hamilton (1m3f, good) last June but she's finished down the field in three starts since; may have needed her reappearance run at Newcastle last month but that was a 12l defeat and she's now 0-8; others preferred. |

11th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Didn't appear to quite get home at Leicester (1m4f, good) last month having only gone down narrowly at Hamilton (1m3f, good) the time before; form of her latest AW outing when fourth of eight at Chelmsford (1m2f, Polytrack) in June has worked out well; respected with cheekpieces given a go. |

9st 9lb |
Both wins came over 1m2f on turf in the summer of 2024, but he was only beaten a neck over this C&D in February and is now 3lb lower; each-way claims if able to recapture that form. |

23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Went close at Wolverhampton (1m6f, AW) for Alan King in February but dropped out quite tamely on recent stable debut (2m, AW) and this shorter trip may not be ideal for him nowadays. |

8th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
A dual 1m4f scorer who signed off for Alan King with a solid fourth of ten in 1m4f handicap at Wolverhampton in March; has since changed hands for 10,000gns and needs to hit the ground running for his new yard. |

24th Feb 2026 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Very much enjoyed the run of the race when making all over 1m6f here 13 days ago; may not have the same luxury this time, but is just 3lb higher and remains unexposed in staying handicaps on the AW. |
11/4 |

1st 2 (2) |
11th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Useful jumper; 25lb higher when joining this yard and, after five defeats at big prices, he's run well to finish third at Southwell (1m4f) and Wolverhampton (1m6f) in last two starts; should go well again and he could be a big factor if he gets a good pace. |

Useful jumper; 25lb higher when joining this yard and, after five defeats at big prices, the money came for him at Southwell 17 days ago (1m4f); fared better in third on that occasion and he's handicapped to go well. |

20th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
His six wins, including two here, have all been gained over further; won at Redcar (2m) on his penultimate start and his latest fifth over 1m6f wasn't a bad effort; this is winnable if he handles the drop back in trip. |
9/1 |

5th 6 (10) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 218y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Beat his three rivals fairly comfortably when back on turf here (2m, good to firm) three weeks ago and is evidently in good nick but a recent 4lb rise might be enough to leave this 10yo vulnerable. |
6/1 |
|
1st 2 (1) |
19th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 7f 217y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
A four-time scorer (including here in 2025); in good nick without winning this season, finding drop to 1m4f against him when a staying-on sixth of 12 at Newcastle last time; this veteran needs considering back up in trip. |

15th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Dual Kempton winner who was below-par there on Wednesday evening; victories came for headgear coming off, then for going back on, so perhaps the removal will result in a better effort, but she's some way down the pecking order. |
12/1 |

5th 11 (8) |
12th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 5 |

Dual C&D winner, most recently in May off a 3lb higher mark than today's; has finished third in two starts since, including here last month, and once again holds solid claims. |

3rd 7 (4) |

Resumed winning ways over 1m4f here in May and backed it up with a solid third of nine in 1m4f Leicester handicap 25 days ago; considered. |

9st 12lb |
Didn't look an easy ride at Yarmouth (1m6f, soft) in June but still managed to win readily; has winning form on Polytrack and is likely to make his presence felt despite a 5lb rise. |

10th Jun 2026 Good 1m 6f 17y Class 6 |

Sole win from 14 starts came on the AW at Chelmsford (1m6f) in December but he's posted some good efforts since, including on turf at Catterick (2m, good to firm) 11 days ago; each-way chance. |
3/1 |

2nd 2 (6) |
30th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 189y Class 6 |

Has been running creditably on the AW this year (in the frame on last three starts, all over 2m at Southwell); could go well, but below best three previous runs on turf. |

Back to winning ways in 2m course handicap (good to firm) under Mason Paetel in June, with reopposing Dereham 5l back in third; good third of 12 in competitive Market Rasen handicap hurdle (extended 2m4f, good) since; likely to go well back on the Flat. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 4 |

Four-time hurdle winner who was second in a Cheltenham handicap last October on final jumps run; 2lb lower now and he was a recent 2m winner at Newmarket; should go well. |

26th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Four-time hurdles winner whose first Flat success came on Southwell AW (1m6f) in January; has kept his form pretty well, including over 2m, and is considered seriously in this small field despite having had just two races (2025) on Flat turf. |

Long time since he won on the Flat and he had lost his way when last seen; the change of yard will need to spark a revival and there's nothing to suggest he's best caught fresh. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 16y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Chance on November's Doncaster hurdles second, less so on all which has followed; unexposed in this sphere, with one start over fences compared to the other trio's 41 combined, but none too convincing on that belated chase debut at Wetherby latest (1m7f, good), jumping left and weakening. |
5/1 |

3rd 1 |
27th Mar 2026 Good 1m 7f 36y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Bumper/Flat/hurdles winner; on a handy mark but his form has dipped in 2026, so this switch to fences needs to have a reviving effect; latecomer to this game, being a 10yo. |
13/2 |
|
6th 1 |
27th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 128y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Unable to beat a rival on AW on last two starts but could be a different proposition now back hurdling and back here, as two visits to Doncaster (both C&D) have yielded an easy novice win (good) and a good second in a handicap (soft; in November); very much of interest given record at the track. |
