9st 6lb |
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. |

14th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Dual C&D winner last year (including this race), the most recent coming off a 2lb higher mark than today's; fair third at Kempton (7f) on his return and ran a solid race when fourth at Bath 27 days ago; claims back at this track (form figures here read 3114). |

Five of his six wins (5f/6f) have been on turf but he returned after five months off with a fair third at Kempton (7f) three weeks ago; should benefit from that run and he has possibilities on this drop back in trip. |

19th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

All three wins on turf came on soft/heavy; it's been a while since his last success but he may be able to exploit this plummeting mark when he gets his conditions. |

3rd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
10st 5lb |
Last two wins have come over C&D and he is 13lb lower than for the latest in May 2024 (0-24 since); has won fresh in the past and has run well on good to firm ground, but a softer surface suits him better. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |
14/1 |
|
6th 3 (4) |
26th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Winner of five 6f handicaps on turf/AW last year; latest performance was a bit better than it looked and she is now back to her last winning mark, but this trip does appear to stretch her. |
13/2 |

7th 15 (4) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
The winner of five 6f handicaps last year, beating a few reopposing rivals in the process; only midfield at Leicester on last month's return but the stable form is a positive and she could take a step forward. |

5th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Sole win over 5f here in 2024; mostly in indifferent form of late but ran better when seventh over C&D (good to firm; behind Sisters In The Sky and Coast) recently when meeting with trouble; possible contender. |
10/1 |

22nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Seemed to respond well to first-time visor when third at Chelmsford (6f) in January but she's not come close to that form in three runs since; her blindfold was removed late at Lingfield last month but she's now 1-27 and others are preferred. |
25/1 |

6th 11 (8) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Seemed to respond well to first-time visor when keeping-on third at Chelmsford (6f) in January but safely held on both starts in February and her tendency to start slowly is always a worry. |
25/1 |
