15th Jul 2026 Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Made all at Salisbury (6f, good) in May; unplaced on next two starts but he was a close fifth of seven at Ffos Las most recently and he ran well over C&D last August on firm ground; might not be far away. |
6/1 |

23rd Jun 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Multiple winner who made all at Salisbury last month (6f, good) and was ridden differently when never involved at Catterick; had no penalty last time and now 5lb higher, but if returned to positive tactics the ground won't be an excuse. |
8/1 |

21st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 5 |

7-43; took full advantage of an easing mark to gain his third Salisbury win when making all (6f apprentices', good) last week; escapes a penalty, and Jake Dickson is able to claim his 7lb allowance, so his chance is an obvious one; clearly the one to beat if in the same kind of form. |

10st 11lb |
Scored at Lingfield in most recent turf start; record at Salisbury features two wins (2023/2024) and a close fourth in this contest 12 months ago; again has frame possibilities. |

8th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Notched a first success in over two years in 7f handicap at Lingfield last month; needs to back it up off a 5lb higher mark here in a change of headgear. |

Denied clear run before keeping on to snatch respectable fourth over C&D (good) last month but remains without a win since 2024 and is not the percentage call. |

17th Sep 2025 Heavy 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Solid placed efforts in her two starts last month (6f, good to firm and AW); modest form on good to soft and unraced on slower; stable may have stronger claims with Roman Spring. |
7/1 |

3rd 9 (5) |
26th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Finished in front of Phoenix Moon and Gogo Yubari when a one-length third of nine at Windsor last week (6f, good to firm); will need more to win and Phoenix Moon might well reverse the placings under these conditions. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 5 (5) |
18th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Just one win from 20 starts but she has run some sound races for her new yard this summer, including over C&D; now drops into a 0-55 and she has stronger claims than her formfigures might suggest. |

29th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Back to form with a good second at Wolverhampton last week (7f); has a C&D win on his record and a repeat of that latest run would give him a chance but consistency hasn't always been his strong suit. |

9th Jun 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
8st 5lb |
3-27, the most recent of those wins coming at Brighton (5.5f, soft) in September; caught wide at Kempton on her first start for 137 days but now has the cheekpieces back on and may take a step forward. |
12/1 |

8th 6 (7) |
6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Just 1lb higher than when winning at Brighton (5f, soft) last September but she's not easy to predict and was last of eight at Wolverhampton in December; has bit to prove after that and this is competitive on her return. |

18th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Both wins were in late 2022 and he has been looking regressive this year; wouldn't be the obvious answer after nearly three months off. |
8/1 |
|
6 (13) |
27th Jun 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
His last win was over C&D but that was in a novice in December 2022; very well treated on old form but he's faded in his five runs this year and was beaten 15l at Chepstow (7-2) last time; had a difficult track position in that race but he needs a big turnaround back in trip. |
9/1 |
|
12th 2 (2) |
30th May 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
No win since late 2022; has dropped in the weights and his reappearance effort at Doncaster wasn't a bad run but he failed to build on it at Salisbury a fortnight ago; others appeal more. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Hard to fancy on recent evidence whereas she arrived in good form prior to winning this last year (good to firm); however, she's dropped to a dangerous mark and can't be written off in her bid to make it 2-2 here. |
7/1 |
|
6th 8 (5) |
9th Jun 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Six wins include two over C&D and she was runner-up here on heavy ground in September off a 5lb higher mark than today's; below her best in recent starts but probably wasn't helped by racing on the wing at Goodwood four days ago; chance. |
5/1 |
|
9th 2 (2) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Back on her last winning mark and perhaps stretched by 7f last time when behind Land Of Magic; fine on all surfaces and considered, despite a low draw. |

21st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Back in much better form, having won a Lingfield classified event (6f, good) in clearcut fashion last month then finished a neck second in Bath handicap (5f, firm) last week; enters calculations despite still having a modest strike-rate. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 3 (2) |
15th Jul 2026 Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
C&D winner; well beaten here in handicaps in May and June; produced her best effort for over a year when winning going away in a Lingfield classified event (6f, good) latest; well treated on her return to this sphere if repeating that effort but it's hard to predict if she will. |
15/8 |
|
1st 7 (10) |
18th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Sole win from 29 starts was at Bath (5f, good to firm) in August 2024; ran respectably in a classified event there (5.7f) two weeks ago but this looks tough on the figures and others are preferred. |
12/1 |
