5th Sep 2026 Good 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Regressive Flat maiden who, for the second time this year, refused to race on the AW nine days ago; has the ability to feature off this mark over hurdles (0-6) but far too risky. |
8/1 |

27th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
He has the ability to make a nonsense of his lowly rating but slow starts have been a recurring theme and he completely disgraced himself at Leicester in May; running okay over hurdles this summer but can't be backed with any confidence. |
7/1 |

20th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
1-25 on the Flat; kept on for third on handicap hurdle debut at Southwell (2m, good) in June but two lesser efforts have followed and it's questionable whether the refitted cheekpieces will make the necessary difference. |

19th Oct 2026 Good 2m 4f 116y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Slightly disappointing on latest Flat start in August but scored off 3lb lower here (2m, good) in first-time visor in April and should be fine over this longer trip; ought to make his presence felt. |
9/4 |
|
5th 2 (2) |
3rd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Versatile sort having won on turf, AW and over hurdles; 2lb lower than for his last Flat success but this trip looks sharp enough; Ruby Criscuolo rode a winner for the stable at Wolverhampton last month; yard also runs Wrist Art. |
9/2 |

3rd 2 (5) |
26th Jun 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Made hay initially for this yard last March-June; pretty consistent this year but with only the one win (with first-time visor over hurdles in April) and he may again have to settle for minor honours. |

15th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 4f 5y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
His last win was off 9lb higher over 1m4f at Brighton in September 2023; some efforts on AW during the winter were respectable but his return to Brighton last month saw him tailed off after a slow start; none too solid. |
12/1 |

21st May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 198y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
His last success was off 7lb higher over C&D (good) but that was in September 2023; some respectable efforts on AW during the winter and wasn't disgraced back over hurdles in March but others are more persuasive. |

19th Sep 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Returned to turf in excellent form in spring, winning four in row (1m2f-1m4f) for Tony Carroll; signed off for that stable with respectable run (under Brodie Hampson) last month but may find others better treated here. |
20/1 |

28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 11y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Reeled off a four-timer in May/June (1m2f-1m4f on ground ranging from good to soft to good to firm); those wins came at Class 6 level and she has been beaten twice in a higher grade since; 12lb higher than when winning this race in 2024; cheekpieces back on for the first time since February. |

9th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |

Retains plenty of vitality aged eight but completed his May/June four-timer in Class 6 and was soundly beaten when back up in grade last time; current mark leaves him in a difficult spot. |

9st 4lb |
Completed a 1m6f double at Wolverhampton last summer but he's lost his way since and has been tailed off in two AW runs this spring; has lots to prove back on turf and he's 0-10 in this sphere. |

23rd Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 198y Class 6 |
11st 2lb |
Back to form in refitted cheekpieces lately and has been placed on her last three starts; should be thereabouts once again. |
3/1 |

2nd 5 (9) |
15th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Back in form since returned to cheekpieces of late, latterly when beaten a nose by Belle Of Kt at Bath a fortnight ago; 6lb better off with her old rival and her last win came round here off 3lb higher, so there are reasons for optimism. |
8/1 |

2nd 1 (4) |
31st Jul 2026 Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |
11st 2lb |
Seven wins at up to 1m4f; yet fully to convince stamina-wise over this far and not very reliable nowadays but gave pretty good account when third in refitted cheekpieces here (11.6f, firm) 16 days ago. |

24th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |

Won at Windsor last June for Mark Hoad but form went the wrong way for that yard; no revival on his three runs for this stable. |

27th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Sprung a 40-1 surprise at Windsor in June (1m, good to firm); now 2lb lower but that is a result of having shown little since; handles Polytrack but others look safer. |
