25th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Veteran who is on a losing run but he was finishing his race off strongly when second over C&D last month; a 2lb rise doesn't handicap him out of things and he's on the shortlist. |

9th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 216y Class 5 |
8st 4lb |
Winner of seven races but still 5lb higher than when last successful 12 months ago and this trip looks right on the limit of his stamina. |
16/1 |

7th 10 (2) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
8st 5lb |
Course winner who returned from five months off with a very good second of nine over C&D last month, faring best of those held up; a player nudged up 1lb. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 6 (9) |
25th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Clearcut win in first-time blinkers on turf here (7f, soft) last June; several creditable efforts since but he was disappointing at Bath in his final run last autumn; has bit to prove with headgear missing after five months and this is competitive for the grade. |

Dual handicap winner over 1m here and finished third of nine in a 0-55 handicap over C&D in March, but has gone quiet again since. |
9/1 |
|
5th 8 (9) |
13th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Both wins have come over C&D but latest was in January 2025; finished third over 7f here in March but he's struggled in both subsequent runs and others are preferred. |
20/1 |

8th 10 (4) |
29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Both wins on Lingfield AW but runner-up twice from six starts here; having run so poorly back on turf last time is the big stumbling block. |

3rd 1 (9) |
24th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Three-time course winner who remains consistent despite his age; recent strike-rate isn't great but he's down to 0-55 for the first time since returned to turf and Billy Loughnane is an obvious plus. |
7/1 |
|
4th 5 (5) |
6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 216y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Largely consistent 9yo who ended a lengthy losing run when dead-heating at Lingfield (7f, AW) in February and comes here after a pretty good second at Windsor (1m, good to firm) last month; suited by this track; likely contender. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 5 (6) |
20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Won at Lingfield (7f, AW) in February and runner-up at Southwell (1m, AW) and Bath (1m, firm) in the spring; still looks on a workable mark but his form nosedived at Brighton last time and he needs to bounce back; one of three runners for Tony Carroll. |

11th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
1lb out of the weights, but still off the same mark as when beaten a neck over C&D in April; losing run is up to 18, though, so others make greater appeal. |
14/1 |

4th 12 (10) |
14th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

Not well drawn for one who likes to race prominently and last two runs have been underwhelming; others safer. |

4th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Won two of last three at Southwell (7f) since these aids were fitted, a steady late surge taking him to the front close home 14 days ago; acts on Polytrack, too, but plenty needs to go right today from a wide draw. |
13/2 |
|
1st 3 (6) |
21st May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Finally off the mark over C&D in a first-time cheekpieces/second-time hood combination last month; didn't look to have any excuses back here when favourite off this mark a fortnight ago but this is weaker if anything. |
3/1 |
|
6th 2 (3) |
7th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Off the mark at the 18th attempt when getting up late to win over C&D 26 days days; the cheekpieces worn that day are retained and he can't be discounted off this 2lb higher mark. |

25th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
All of his five AW wins have been at longer trips but he went close over C&D last summer and was runner-up over 1m at Chelmsford last month; on same mark as for that last run and has possibilities if he gets a good pace and some luck; reapplied blinkers replace cheekpieces. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 5 (5) |
21st Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
All five wins have been on AW, including two at this track; bounced back with creditable third at Lingfield (1m) last month and he caught the eye of the stewards when a never-dangerous sixth there (7f) last time; looks interesting on this step back up in trip and he should get a decent pace to aim at. |
8/1 |
|
6th 4 (5) |
10th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Two course wins, at 1m4f and 1m; has raced only once at 7f, over C&D in August (favourite), and although a fast-finishing runner-up, the early stages weren't too encouraging as he was taken off his legs; if sharper in the early stages he'd look interesting. |

18th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Doubled his winning tally when successful over C&D in April; twice unplaced on turf since and still 5lb higher than for that latest win, but still one for the shortlist returned here. |
6/1 |
|
7th 3 (9) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Sole turf win came in a Lingfield maiden but he won his first AW race in April (6f) and has since run well in a slightly stronger race than this over C&D (good to firm); has other quite solid handicap form at this trip on grass and he should go well under up-and-coming Harry Vigors. |
5/1 |
|
4th 10 (14) |
23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Ended a lengthy losing run when winning a 0-55 AW handicap run to suit round Lingfield last time; upped 6lb but was competitive off higher marks on turf last summer and that win may have boosted confidence. |
