2nd Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Four-time AW winner, most recently at Lingfield (6f) in January off the same mark as today's; left the impression he's still in form on soft ground at Salisbury 23 days ago and has place claims back on the AW. |
8/1 |
|
5th 5 (11) |
9th Jun 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
All four wins have been on the AW but he does act on turf; beaten 4l when second of five at Lingfield (6f, good to firm) ten days ago but soft ground would be a slight concern. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 3 (3) |
30th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Consistent gelding who's usually ridden from off the pace; no obvious reason why he won't go well once more, back over an easier 6f, returning from a short break. |

16th Oct 2026 Heavy 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Won at Lingfield (6f, soft) in June and back on song when third of 16 at Doncaster (6f, good) last month; raced wide when close sixth of nine at Kempton (6f, AW) last time; should be fine back at 5f; possible player. |
10/1 |

6th 9 (6) |
5th Oct 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Back in form last time, in the Doncaster handicap he'd won last season; any number of short-priced defeats to his name and isn't consistent, but is fine on the AW and capable if in the mood. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 12 (2) |
13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Won this last year (good) and is worth a second look; however, he hasn't really shone since winning at Lingfield (6f, soft) in June which tempers enthusiasm regarding his claims. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
C&D winner; many good efforts since back from a short break in June 2025, four wins including one at Yarmouth (6f, good to soft) in September; closely involved on Kempton AW since and entitled to have a say. |
10/1 |
|
4th 5 (8) |
5th Oct 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Back up close to a career-high mark at the age of nine having sprung a surprise on turf off 2lb lower last time; lacks consistency now but merits respect as a five-time C&D winner. |
7/1 |
|
1st 6 (10) |
16th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Most of his runs on turf have been on soft ground and he's won three times on that surface; runner-up at Lingfield (6f) in June but below his best in both starts since (soft turf/AW); could return to some form and run well. |

9st 5lb |
Looks a bit between trips just now, keeping on over Lingfield's Polytrack 6f before failing to see out 7f there latest; not beaten far on either occasion, so a further 2lb drop is a welcome surprise. |

18th Apr 2025 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Sole win in 7f maiden for Charles Hills but she went down only narrowly in a Thirsk handicap at that trip in September and is now 2lb lower; hasn't shot the lights out for new yard as yet but the return to 7f can suit and adding cheekpieces may also help. |

2nd Oct 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Dual C&D winner (also third last month) who made a successful start for the Jane Chapple-Hyam stable over 6f at Newmarket (good) 13 days ago, well on top at the finish and recording a career-best RPR; had the advantage of the rail but his 7lb rise is offset by Toby Moore's claim and his record here affords him respect. |
10/1 |
|
1st 5 (9) |
19th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Five-time turf winner who was in good form when placed on his last four starts for Ross Burdon, notably when 9lb out of the handicap but third at Ascot (6f, good to firm; Fifty Nifty a head in front) a fortnight ago; bought for 11,000gns on Wednesday and he's effectively off the same mark with Billy Loughnane taking over; two runs in blinkers (2023) were not his best but still looks a player on stable debut. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 15 (7) |
5th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Two C&D wins to his name; back to form for Ross Burdon, runner-up in his last three starts, but he's upped in class today and has it to do from 9lb out of the weights. |

21st May 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Dual course winner (6f/7f) and 3lb lower than when successful at Wolverhampton (6f, Tapeta) last September, but he can't be entertained on his performances in the meantime. |
25/1 |
|
18th 13 (1) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

The winner of 13 races, but just three of them have been on turf; yet to shine this year and he was behind a few of today's rivals over C&D last week. |

10th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Winner of 13 races and just 1lb higher than for the latest, but quiet in two starts at Southwell (6f, AW) since returning in February; needs to step up. |

18th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Multiple AW wins include two over this C&D, although his most recent success came on turf in April; has taken rather a drastic wrong turn since, though, and refitting cheekpieces (now discarded) made no difference back on this track last time. |

27th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Five-time AW winner (6f/7f), who scored at Kempton in January and at Chelmsford in March; no joy in last four runs but he's had another wind operation and it wouldn't be a surprise if he made a bold bid on this return to AW. |
12/1 |
|
5th 8 (10) |
4th Aug 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Has only ever placed once on turf, that coming over C&D (good to firm) a year ago, and isn't as good as on the AW but he is handicapped accordingly; didn't look to have any excuses here six weeks ago and today's slower ground may not be optimal. |
6/1 |
|
4 (4) |
21st Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Two front-running wins on Polytrack earlier in the year and ran as well as could have been expected in better company last time; currently rated a stone lower on turf (for a good reason) but did go close over C&D last July off a 4lb lower mark. |

Six-time winner on Jersey but only success on the mainland came almost two years ago; may have needed his Chelmsford return (6f, Polytrack) 11 days ago, but needs to step forward from it. |
