20th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 0y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
A nine-time Flat winner over 1m6f-2m, he made a pleasing hurdles debut when third of five finishers (with stablemate Alex The Great 27l back) in a Hereford maiden (2m, good) 15 days ago; steps up in trip and holds place claims. |

3rd 6 |
5th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 53y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Hurdles debutant who is a nine-time AW winner at 1m6f/2m, most recently in March; one of the better contenders in terms of achievements but an unconvincing turf record leaves him with something to prove. |
11/2 |

6th 7 (7) |
17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 2m 1f 24y Class 5 |
8st 4lb |
Got back on the scoresheet at Lingfield (2m, AW) last month and he ran to a similar level when fourth at Wolverhampton (1m6f) 11 days ago; on lower mark back on turf but he's struggled in his six runs in this sphere including three 2m handicaps; risks attached. |

28th Apr 2026 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Returns to the AW after another modest effort over hurdles, but was twice runner-up on Polytrack before that; both wins have come on that surface, but he ran well to finish a close third behind Payment Plan over this C&D in November 2024; each-way claims again. |

7th 6 |
4th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 145y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Hasn't been seen over hurdles since February last year but was only beaten a head at Plumpton in December 2024 when 11-8 favourite; runner-up on the Flat twice recently so fitness will not be an issue and he must be of interest. |
3/1 |

2nd 8 (3) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Ran well in fourth at Chelmsford (2m, Polytrack) in January when back from some time off and built on that to go close there (1m6f) four weeks ago; there's every chance he'll be bang there once more. |

18th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 68y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Has resumed in good form and a 2lb rise for his recent AW win here under Ashley Lewis seems fair; has yet to win on turf (only run on it once since 2023) but otherwise has a decent chance of following up. |
7/4 |

1st 5 (1) |
27th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 6 |

Has modest 1-28 strike-rate (includes five hurdle runs) but was denied a clear run before finishing well for close third over C&D last month and gets another chance off the same mark today; respected. |
5/2 |

3rd 7 (10) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Twice finished placed here last year (2m/1m4f); not ruled out each-way but this is his first run since October so he may improve for it, and he's won just one of his 27 starts. |

27th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Won at Southwell (1m6f, Tapeta) in October and went close behind Forglen over this C&D in January; returned to form with 2l fourth to Forglen at Southwell (1m6f) a fortnight ago and may well be thereabouts. |

18th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 68y Class 6 |

Course winner who's finished behind Balgowan on the AW here the last twice; closely matched with his old rival on revised terms and looks set to go well again. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 6 (3) |
27th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Yet to add to his 1m1f turf win here in 2024 but went close over 1m4f here (AW) in February and also ran well when fifth (just behind Balgowan) over C&D last month; probably won't be far away. |
10/1 |

5th 6 (7) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 6 |

Beaten just a head over 1m4f here last month on his last Flat start and he ran well over 2m on turf here last July; didn't perform badly back over hurdles last week; might not be far away now reverting to the Flat. |

27th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Two wins here (1m4f/1m5f) towards the end of last year, which sandwiched a close third of five at Chelmsford on his sole previous crack at 2m; continued in good form over 1m4f here on his last two starts and he's on the shortlist now back up in trip and kept to his favourite venue. |
5/1 |

4th 12 (4) |
24th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Record here reads 5121312, with two off the wins over this trip; good second of 11 over C&D three weeks ago and no reason why he won't be in the thick of things again. |
100/30 |

23rd Oct 2025 Standard 2m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Both of his wins have came over 1m4f at Lingfield; back to form when gaining the second of those wins there nine days ago, for which he now carries a 6lb penalty (2lb wrong); his brother stays this trip, so the extra distance looks worth exploring. |

27th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Won over C&D in January; runner-up at Southwell (1m6f) next time and has won over 1m6f at Wolverhampton and Southwell on his two starts since; his wins have been narrow ones, meaning he is climbing the weights only slowly, and there can be optimism this progressive 5yo has more left in the tank. |

1st 2 (5) |

In fine form lately with wins at Lingfield (2m, Polytrack) and from a subsequent winner at Wolverhampton (1m6f, Tapeta); finished runner-up over this C&D in between and although up 3lb, is likely to be bang there once again. |

21st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 139y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Won two in a row on the Flat (2m1f/2m, soft) last autumn and running well when falling three out on hurdle debut in December; always in rear back on the Flat last month but that came after a 109-day break and she could leave than run behind this afternoon. |

8th 9 (6) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 6 |

Won her last two Flat starts in the autumn (2m1f/2m, soft) and she was running well when falling three out on her hurdle debut at Fontwell in December; this is her first run since and she's struggled on AW previously, but she could be a different proposition now; wears first-time hood; could go well. |

Three wins here over the extended 2m in recent times, latterly off 2lb lower; the return to Tapeta will suit, off the back of two ordinary efforts, but others make greater appeal. |

3rd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 44y Class 6 |

Bounced back from Chelmsford flop (1m6f, Polytrack) to win at Wolverhampton (2m, Tapeta) last time; his last three wins have come there but he ran well on his previous AW outing here and is entitled to respect. |

27th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Very lightly raced 4yo who is hard to fancy on the evidence of his last two starts (1m4f, including here); however, before those he made some late headway over 1m4f here on his stable debut, hinting that today's step up in trip might be a good move; a hood goes on; possibly not a forlorn hope. |

Encouraging third at Wolverhampton (1m4f, Tapeta) last month on third handicap start but down the field at Southwell (1m3f, Tapeta) since and he could do with settling better now up in trip. |

28th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who ran his best race so far when third of 12 in a Wolverhampton handicap (1m4f, Tapeta) 26 days ago; that was a promising effort after a slow start and he's respected off only 1lb higher here. |
13/2 |

3rd 7 (2) |
2nd Feb 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |

Unplaced in two starts for Gavin Cromwell in the autumn and he's been well held in three runs for current yard; dropped another 5lb but he was never involved in a Southwell handicap (1m4f) last month and others are preferred. |
