1st 7 (1) |
30th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Seen more often on the AW (3-21) than on turf (1-7); back off his last winning mark, but needs to improve on his last couple of efforts. |
13/2 |

8th 2 (9) |
22nd May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Ended a lengthy losing run when scoring at Lingfield (1m, Polytrack) in February; wasn't far off that level in next three runs but his form slumped at Lingfield three weeks ago; only 1lb higher than for last success but he needs to bounce back on this return to turf. |
16/1 |

7th 2 (9) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Scored off 2lb lower over C&D in February and has remained in good form, most recently when fourth of 15 on turf (8.3f, good) three weeks ago; ought to be on the premises again. |

28th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y |
9st 6lb |
Progressive British raider arrives in excellent form; notched up successive handicap wins at Windsor (1m, gd-fm) and York (7f, good) and another fine effort on latest at Epsom (7f, gd-sft) when a neck runner-up off 85; 5lb higher here so will need to improve again but that's not impossible; top rider booked. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 9 (16) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Off the mark at the 18th attempt at Windsor (1m, good to firm) last month and followed up in big field at York (7f, good) eight days later; latest 7lb rise may not stop this thriving 4yo if he handles the softer ground here. |
8/1 |
|
1st 14 (9) |
15th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Finally got the job done in Windsor contest (1m, good to firm) last week and did it comfortably, opening his account at the 18th attempt; great chance under a penalty, provided he's in the same form back down in trip; due to go up 4lb in future. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Turf wins at 7f and latest success was over 6f on AW in April; has rarely tackled 1m and she was highly tried over this trip in the Kensington Palace at Royal Ascot in June but she did look to stay an extended 1m at Nottingham in 2025 for previous yard; has possibilities. |
10/1 |
|
18th 24 (4) |
17th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
All three wins over shorter, the latest over 6f at Kempton (AW) in April; unable to reproduce that form in three 7f turf outings since; stays 1m but it's hard to be positive about her chance from 3lb out of the weights. |
100/1 |
|
6th 3 (11) |
4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Two-time turf winner over 6f-7f; career best came with an AW win at Kempton in April; well beaten in two 7f turf starts since; drops 1lb; more needed. |

1st Jul 2026 Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Disappointing filly but stable debut (left Oliver Signy) off 305-day break at Chepstow last month (1m2f) wasn't devoid of hope, particularly as she made a big move into contention before those exertions told (finished a place behind Knightmare); blinkers introduced there retained. |
14/1 |
|
6th 7 (11) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
10st 8lb |
On her third yard and back from ten months off; string of poor efforts last year and couldn't be backed unless there's serious support back at 1m2f and tried in a third form of headgear. |

8th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Yet to be placed in ten starts at 7f-1m2f on a variety of surfaces, including in headgear the last twice; handicapper is trying to help but he'd only be of interest if getting market attention. |
10/1 |
|
8th 11 (6) |
26th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 53y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Soundly beaten in first-time cheekpieces on AW this month (1m2f) and has now been unplaced all nine starts; drops back in trip with blinkers tried here; considered only if lively in the betting. |
14/1 |
|
7th 2 (2) |
12th Jun 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has not finished closer than fifth in his eight starts and he's been beaten 7l or more in last four handicaps (7f-1m2f); mark continues to fall and headgear is now added but he needs a transformation back on AW. |

23rd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Has the odd bit of Flat form but essentially disappointing and he has accomplished little over hurdles the last twice; remains a maiden. |
33/1 |

4th 5 |
9th Sep 2025 Soft 2m 0f 167y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Sole Flat placing came in a 1m3f Class 6 handicap at Windsor in May; now 0-10 in that scene after three modest efforts since June; best watched on hurdling debut. |
40/1 |
|
7th 7 (4) |
28th Jul 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Raised his game with a creditable third here (11.4f, good) in May but he's struggled in both runs since and is now 0-9; others preferred. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 113y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Consistent 4yo who won over C&D (good) last summer and came from off the pace to double his tally at Brighton (1m, good) last month; probably doesn't have much margin for error off new mark but ought to be on the premises. |
5/1 |
|
1st 10 (12) |
9th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 216y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Still 5lb higher than for his sole success, at Epsom (8.5f, good) last August, but has made the frame in all eight outings since; that reliability counts for plenty in this field. |
8/1 |
|
4th 5 (9) |
1st Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Epsom winner last August for regular partner Donagh Murphy off a 5lb lower mark; fair comeback over C&D behind Buy The Dip in April (6lb better off today) but didn't build on that back on turf a fortnight ago. |

15th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 104y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
0-14 and he didn't improve for the step up to 1m4f when fifth of eight at Leicester (good to firm) 20 days ago; drops back down into classified company but others appeal more. |
20/1 |
|
5th 8 (2) |
25th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 179y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
0-13; kept on at Lingfield latest (good to firm) without improving for the step up to 1m2f, and he has further still to travel this time. |
40/1 |
|
4th 6 (4) |
30th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
One of his better efforts at Yarmouth one month ago, when going beyond 1m for the first time, but was probably flattered in a muddling, small-field affair; will want to settle better upped in distance again. |

8st 10lb |
Second on debut and went one better at Redcar (7f, good) last July but she's had two heavy defeats in handicaps (1m/8.6f) since and latest was at Nottingham 19 days ago; still unexposed but she needs a big turnaround at this new trip. |

Second on debut and went one better at Redcar (7f, good) last July; however, she needs to put her flop in a Thirsk nursery (1m, good; made most) in September way behind her. |
