7th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Bounced back from some lesser efforts when making all and scoring comfortably from a subsequent winner at Ripon (6f, good) 19 days ago; the visor may have helped and although similar tactics may not be so easy in this field, he doesn't have to lead; much respected from 6lb higher. |

18th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Won three times last year (5f/6f, good/good to firm/AW), the third when wearing cheekpieces for the first time; disappointing this season, last time unseating his rider at the start in first-time visor which is retained. |

9st 7lb |
Had a solid 2025, winning three times (5f/6f), but hasn't finished in the first eight this year; dropping in the weights but needs to turn a corner; perhaps a change of headgear will help. |

30th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Below par at Sandown this month but a return to his May form, namely an AW success flanked by second-place finishes on turf, would put him in the picture. |
15/2 |

9th 5 (3) |
12th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Back in good form off his reduced mark, winning easily at Southwell (5f) before nearly defying a penalty at Chepstow (good to firm; effective on softer); 3lb higher for this but well drawn and must have a shout for all that he's back up in grade; Seamus Cronin aboard for last three races. |
7/1 |

2nd 2 (5) |
29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 16y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Has dropped a fair way down the weights over the last year or so, but looked back in prime form when scooting clear to win readily by 4l at Southwell (5f, AW) last week; also suited by good to firm turf and is 4lb ahead of the handicapper under his 5lb penalty. |

Only win was a 6f Chepstow maiden last September (6f, soft; 8-15 favourite); well beaten both starts since; bit to prove. |
8/1 |
|
6th 6 (1) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Off the mark at the 11th attempt when landing a Chepstow maiden (6f, soft) in September but that was a golden opportunity and he struggled back in a handicap in his final run last season; drops back in grade on his return but he has a patchy profile and others are more convincing. |

24th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Off the mark at the 11th attempt when comfortably seeing off four rivals in a Chepstow maiden last month (6f, soft); has run well in some useful handicaps this year but likely he will need another career-best to come out on top this time. |

15th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Sole win from 18 starts came in a novice at Redcar (6f, soft) in October 2024; well beaten in his first starts since returning from a break but he came back to form from a career-low mark when second of 12 at Catterick (5f, good) a week ago; that was his first try over 5f and he's contender. |
4/1 |

2nd 4 (11) |
8th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Yet to win a handicap but he was twice placed off a 7lb higher mark last September; two AW runs last month should have sharpened him up and this is a drop in grade; apprentice takes off a valuable 5lb but a wide draw on his first attempt at 5f, and a sharp one at that, dents confidence. |

10th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 143y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won first two starts last summer (6f) but, although not added to tally since, shaped with more encouragement over 5f at Redcar last time; down a further 2lb and should be suited by the extra yardage; interesting. |
10/1 |

21st Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

A dual 6f juvenile scorer but her more recent form is much less encouraging, tried visored when last of seven at Ripon (6f) 34 days ago; others are preferred. |

9th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 195y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Both wins have come over 6f on AW; two good runs at Carlisle this summer, second in May and third on Saturday, but they were over 6f and his stamina for this trip is the obvious concern. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 7 (5) |
4th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 182y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Two AW wins to his name and his close second over C&D (good to soft; first-time cheekpieces) in May was up with his best turf form; back on that latter mark after two lesser efforts so can't be readily dismissed. |
7/1 |
|
5th 4 (6) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Dual 6f winner on the AW; decent efforts last two turf runs, notably when neck second on good to soft at Carlisle last month (6f; cheekpieces on for first time); fair fifth in first-time blinkers at Thirsk last time (6f, good); cheekpieces the preferred option this time; could go well. |

22nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 5 |

Handicapper quick to ease off and he offered more back on turf last time, on just his second run at beyond sprint trips; lacked consistency to date but that gave something to build on. |
7/2 |
|
4th 11 (4) |
20th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
He made a winning start for Stuart Williams when strong at the finish over 5f at Chelmsford in December; little to cheer since and hopes are pinned on the return to 7f/turf having a positive effect. |
20/1 |
|
9th 8 (9) |
1st Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
He made a winning stable debut in a 5f novice at Chelmsford in December but three handicap runs since have been underwhelming; the addition of a hood needs to give him a lift; stable also runs Expert Agent. |

15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 195y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
No longer the force of old but bettered his poor seasonal debut when fifth of 12 at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) a fortnight ago; continues to lurk on a dangerous mark and is well worth another crack at this sort of trip; no surprise if he features. |
11/2 |

5th 6 (9) |
1st Jun 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |

Decent 2yo who struggled last year, coming more than a stone down the weights; found his level again latterly on Tapeta but he ran poorly on his turf comeback in April and others make more obvious appeal. |
14/1 |

16th 16 (1) |
16th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 7lb |
Won two of his first three starts, including a C&D nursery off 8lb higher, but the handicapper was in command for much of 2025; creditable third to Fortamour at Newcastle when last seen 145 days ago but he has more on his plate in this deeper race. |

10th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Heavy-ground turf win last October and he comes here on the back of second-place finishes at Newcastle (5f) and here (6f); sneaking back up the weights but should give it another good go. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 10 (5) |
20th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Both of his wins have been on turf, with the most recent coming at Bath (5.7f, heavy) in October; went from the front when beaten a neck at Newcastle (5f, AW) 20 days ago and won't have an issue with the return to this trip. |
