21st Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Front-runner who doesn't have the best strike-rate (3-48), but he is consistent and again ran well when fourth of 11 from the outside stall over C&D 15 days ago; may not face too much competition for the lead and could go well again. |

6th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |

All three wins have been at this track, one over C&D; hasn't been firing on all cylinders this year though and needs the return to this track to bring about a revival. |

4th 6 (2) |
23rd Jun 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
Front-runner; 0-12 on turf but has placed form and he's a three-time AW winner; last run was disappointing (stays 6f) but had been running well prior to that; a greater concern would be the forecast slow ground. |

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. |

7th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Continues to run with credit and recorded his eighth career win at Lingfield in February; has made the frame on all four starts since and shouldn't be far away. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
In the veteran stage now but the old man's been giving younger legs plenty of trouble this year, dead-heating at Lingfield (7f, AW) in February and placed on another five occasions; still in good heart judged on latest second at Bath (1m, firm) and this dual C&D winner can go well again. |

28th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

He was winning for the 13th time when seeing off eight rivals over C&D last month; backed it up with a close second at Lingfield 24 days ago; more appealing than many. |

2nd 5 (3) |
4th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |

Three C&D wins but perhaps even more effective on Tapeta; had the benefit of Jack Callan's claim when successful at Wolverhampton (7f) last month and although back up 3lb he's perfectly capable of finding another race off this mark. |

13th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
His heyday was two winters back but he still won last July (1m1f on turf) and is often thereabouts, including on Tapeta; not totally ruled out despite the 106-day absence. |

18th Sep 2025 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Landed a sixth success when winning a 12-runner handicap at Redcar (1m1f, good to soft) in July; kept at in when fourth at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) under a penalty six days later and excuses both starts since; very much respected. |

Has won three times over 7f here; best run this year when winning over 1m1f at Redcar three runs back; stamina to prove on first run at 1m4f (can pull hard). |

25th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Won three times last year, the most recent coming at Ripon (1m2f, good) off a 4lb higher mark than today's; went close at Doncaster (1m, good to firm) in April but he's been below his best in two starts since; tongue-tie is added to cheekpieces. |

9th 11 (11) |
12th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Inconsistent sort who followed up a neck second at Doncaster (1m, good to firm) in April with a mediocre effort when eighth of 12 at Redcar (1m, good) last month; cannot discount but needs to put his best foot forward. |
16/1 |

8th 3 (3) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 5 |

Needed a couple of runs before hitting top gear this season but his close second at Doncaster (1m, good to firm) last month was a good effort and he's still on a workable mark after recent 2lb nudge. |

Longstanding maiden who didn't appear to get home when fourth in a classified at Ffos Las (1m2f, good) in August back in cheekpieces (retained); on a career-low mark and Hector Crouch booked (1-2 for the stable this year) but has become disappointing. |

11th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Can be a handful in the preliminaries (bolted before start/got loose on two occasions) but was never seriously challenged when making all on Lingfield AW (7f) 18 days ago; back up 3lb and might cope with return to 6f with forcing tactics again; more obvious than many. |

23rd Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Yet to be placed in eight starts, though it looked as though he would apprciate the return to this trip when fifth of ten on his Wolverhampton return (6f, Tapeta) three weeks ago; still needs a bit more, though. |
5/1 |

3 (6) |
2nd Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
0-7 and lightly raced since a promising 2yo debut; out of the frame in two starts over 7f here in the spring (in cheekpieces, now removed); returns from another 104 days off and only of interest if backed. |
