3rd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Won four times over 7f on Tapeta at Newcastle in December-March but has fitness to prove after six-month break and may not be ideally suited by this drop back in trip. |
7/1 |
|
1st 3 (2) |
6th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Only fourth off this mark at Southwell last week but this track seems to suit him ideally and he is 3-4 over C&D; not sure he is fully exposed at 7f just yet and he looks a major player. |

23rd Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Five AW wins include two on this course (at 6f; has won over 7f) but he's been going through a quieter spell of late; others more likely. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 4 (9) |
5th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
He needs to improve upon his last few showings and was held in fifth over C&D most recently; however, this two-time course winner is 6lb lower than when second at Newcastle (7f, Tapeta) in March and is not written off. |
10/1 |
|
5th 7 (5) |
18th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
4lb lower than for his win at Newcastle (7f) last September; up and down in 2026 and others bring stronger claims. |

2nd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
All six wins have been at this track (7f/1m) but he's been below his best here on his last three starts; may have needed the run here in July but others have stronger claims. |
33/1 |
|
14th 13 (6) |
25th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Bagged a fourth C&D success in February; off since a below-par seventh over C&D in March though so needs to hit the ground running. |
33/1 |
|
7th 2 (8) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Six-time course winner, including twice from the front over C&D this winter; 4lb higher than for his last win and he's never defied a mark this lofty, but the promising Harry Vigors takes off 7lb and he may make a bold bid. |
6/1 |

17th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Winless since 2024 and winless in sprints since 2023; said to have hung left when well beaten on his return to turf seven weeks ago and only holds outside claims. |
33/1 |
|
13th 14 (14) |
29th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Hindered by traffic issues last time (AW); the 9yo hasn't won since 2024 but is nicely weighted, especially if Lewis Chalkley's 7lb claim is taken into account. |
16/1 |
|
4th 4 (5) |
6th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Went without a win in 2025 but often ran well; another serviceable effort when fourth of nine at Wolverhampton in January; others appeal more for win purposes. |

25th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Winless since 2024 (over C&D) but runner-up in 1m handicaps here on his last two starts; can't be dismissed despite being 3lb out of the handicap. |
10/1 |
|
2nd 14 (4) |
26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
He's 9lb lower than when third in this last year and he returned to form when going close over C&D early this month; has a modest strike-rate but he can be bang there if backing up that latest performance. |

31st Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
All three wins have come over 6f including one here; not very consistent, though, and a suspicion that this trip stretches him. |
7/1 |
|
6th 5 (1) |
9th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 182y Class 6 |
10st 11lb |
Won for today's rider off a 2lb lower mark at Redcar last time (6f, good to firm); today's softer conditions are not sure to suit. |
11/2 |
|
1st 3 (2) |
26th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
11st 0lb |
Last win was over C&D off this mark in November but he can be hard to predict and should have run better back in a 0-60 last time. |

6th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Tough 9yo who has won four 6f handicaps here this year; form dipped last time, however, and returning to 7f isn't enough to tempt. |
9/1 |
|
9th 1 (2) |
14th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Has won four of his five races, all over C&D, this year, his latest win coming last Tuesday when getting home by 0.5l; up 6lb but has won off higher marks in the past; should go well |
7/2 |
|
1st 9 (7) |
10th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Sprightly 9yo who completed a quick hat-trick of front-running C&D wins last month and lost out only by a neck off today's mark here on Wednesday; upped in grade but likely to give another good account. |
5/1 |
