6th Jun 2025 Good 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Former Group 3 winner who's been on the slide for a while now; suggested he was about to exploit a much reduced mark when fourth at Wolverhampton (9.4f) last month and he attracted good support when keeping on for third at Brighton (1m2f, good to soft) ten days ago; overall profile far from persuasive but he still warrants consideration. |

3rd 6 (1) |
27th May 2025 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Suggested he might be able to exploit his much reduced mark soon when fourth at Wolverhampton (9.4f) a fortnight ago but his run at Kempton (1m4f) on Wednesday was a backward step and he remains without a win since his Irish Group 3 success in June 2022. |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Took ten goes to get off the mark but it was a convincing win at Ffos Las (1m4f, soft) in August and he doubled his tally when bagging Southwell handicap (1m3f, AW) on his April return; back up 4lb but he might be capable of better and holds leading claims. |
5/2 |

1st 4 (2) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Made the breakthrough in a 0-55 at Ffos Las (1m4f, soft; 6-4 favourite) last August; failed to back that up in two subsequent starts, the latest when fifth of seven at Redcar (1m6f, good) in November; 2lb lower returned to AW (0-7) for seasonal reappearance. |

Never got involved on the AW last time but had previously got off the mark with a 4l win over 1m4f at Ffos Las (soft); that form brings him into this, off just a 3lb higher mark. |

Quickfire double at Lingfield (2m/1m5f; good) last August when the now-regular cheekpieces first went on; she's fired only once (last September) from her four subsequent starts, however. |

9th 6 (5) |
1st May 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Won back-to-back at Lingfield last August (2m/1m5f; good) after the cheekpieces went on but the last of those wins was by 12l and she's struggled since, presumably because of her new mark; others appeal more. |
14/1 |

24th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 4f 0y Class 3 |

Second on soft last October; cheekpieces going on in August saw two easy wins on good ground at Lingfield (2m/1m5f); raced too freely at Goodwood next time but resumed her progress when third of eight here (1m4f, good to soft) five weeks ago; respected on her upward curve. |

8th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 3f 99y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Veteran who is often a zestful front-runner; no win since August 2023 but 5-15 at Windsor overall and, surprisingly, his last race here was that latest win; close second on Kempton AW (1m4f) on recent reappearance also returns him to calculations and he's won on a wide variety of ground. |

Veteran who is often a front-runner but he's not won since August 2023 and he's been well beaten in his two starts this year; on career-low mark but he has a lot to prove. |

29th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 6 |

Two course wins to his name from four starts; none of his six victories have come off a mark quite this high and he's lost his way since going in at Wolverhampton in March; needs a revival. |

11th May 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 6 |

Three wins here over the extended 2m in recent times, latterly off 2lb lower; the return to Tapeta will suit, off the back of two ordinary efforts, but others make greater appeal. |

3rd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 44y Class 6 |

Looked as good as ever when keeping on well for narrow win at Wolverhampton (2m, AW) in March but his latest AW run was disappointing and his turf strike-rate is modest (1-15); others preferred. |

9st 2lb |
Won when cheekpieces were first fitted and again when they were reapplied early in the year, so it's a plus point that they are back on today; not shown much since leaving Ian Williams but soft ground was no good to him last time and he'll be happier back on the AW. |
16/1 |

8th 9 (5) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |

Generally consistent in his time with Ian Williams when he scored three times on AW from 1m to 1m2f; second start for this yard wasn't devoid of promise at Kempton (1m4f) 17 days ago but suitability for the combination of this trip and likely ground is yet to be determined. |

11st 7lb |
Won back-to-back handicaps at Taunton (2m3f, good) and Warwick (2m, heavy) during the winter but he flopped at Newbury in final run for Stuart Kittow; new headgear is now tried and he has a bit to prove on first run for new trainer. |

2-2 since the cheekpieces went on, winning narrowly at Taunton (2m3f, good) but easier when making all at Warwick (2m, heavy); a collective 9lb rise demands more but should give himself every chance under a positive ride. |

Just held on to score in first-time cheekpieces at Taunton (2m3f, good) in December and now 2-11 over hurdles; only 3lb higher here but the slower ground is probably not in his favour. |
