3rd 10 (5) |
25th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 3 |
8st 9lb |
Prevailed by a neck at Wolverhampton (9.5f) last time for a fifth AW win; upped in grade but receives weight all round and is a solid contender, with C&D form figures reading 1223. |
6/1 |
|
1st 9 (9) |
27th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Has two course wins, including one over C&D; fair fifth of 11 at Lingfield (1m, AW) 13 days ago an first outing for six months; should come on for the run but looks high enough in the weights for now. |
10/1 |
|
5th 9 (9) |
14th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Decent record round here, including a C&D win last April, one of three victories in 2025; gone well fresh but is used to plying his trade in lesser company and resumes from six months off on a career-high mark (4lb higher than when last successful). |

9th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Chance on this winter's AW best but he failed to fire back on turf at Goodwood last week (5f); return to 6f can help but others are stronger. |
25/1 |
|
8th 5 (5) |
2nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
His three wins have come over 6f/7f including at Goodwood (good to soft) last summer and at Kempton (off 3lb lower) in January; made some late gains when a creditable third at Kempton last month but this is a different test and his tactical speed will be tested on this first try at 5f. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 7 (6) |
1st Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Ran on well to win a Class 4 over C&D in January; respectable efforts since, including when sixth of seven behind Em Four and Brazen Idol here two weeks ago (held up in a race where the front two dominated); still feasibly weighted. |

17th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Boasts a decent record in handicaps round here (two wins and two seconds from six starts) and ran better than his final position suggests over C&D from a wide stall two weeks ago; one to consider. |
12/1 |
|
9th 3 (9) |
3rd Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Didn't get home at Southwell (7f, Tapeta) last month, but his record in handicaps around here reads 21412, his latest win coming over this trip in November after six months off; still just 1lb higher and respected; stable also runs Bungle Bay. |
6/1 |
|
5th 2 (5) |
5th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Resumed from six months off with a 7f Wolverhampton handicap win in November and backed it up with a good second of seven there last month; this C&D scorer must enter calculations. |

26th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Won over C&D (good) last summer and has run well on the AW here in her last three outings; still 3lb above her highest winning mark, but ought to put up another bold show. |
11/2 |
|
4th 4 (6) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Scored over 1m here in September and returned from six months off with a good fourth of 11 over C&D 16 days ago; well in the mix. |
8/1 |
|
4th 2 (2) |
14th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Resumed winning ways over 1m here in September and she signed off for 2025 with a good C&D second the following month; has gone well fresh too so she needs considering on her seasonal return. |

19th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 135y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Dual winner here on the AW over 1m; bounced back from a couple of lesser efforts when third of nine here on the AW over 7f last time but he could do without the rain on this switch back to turf (well beaten in three starts on soft). |
13/2 |
|
3rd 7 (5) |
25th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Both wins have been gained over 1m at this track; last success was off 8lb higher last January but he's been generally disappointing since and was beaten 7l at Kempton (1m) three weeks ago; has a change of headgear but he looks opposable back in trip. |
12/1 |
|
6th 7 (7) |
2nd Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Both wins have come on Polytrack at Lingfield but latest was 14 months ago; on dangerous mark and was placed at Lingfield (1m) in November but he's taken two backward steps since and overall record is now 2-35. |

13th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Soundly beaten on all three starts for Denis Coakley this season and now 0-10 overall; makes stable debut from tempting mark but needs to have been revitalised by her new regime, and is untested on turf slower than good; headgear removed. |
25/1 |

7th 9 (5) |
9th Jul 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Remains winless and she was tried in a visor when ninth of ten in 1m2f Bath handicap 33 days ago; others appeal more. |
33/1 |
|
5 (9) |
6th Jun 2025 Good 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Eight-race maiden who's been poor the last twice, latterly in first-time cheekpieces at Windsor (1m) when coming back from a 241-day break; now tried in a visor and has plenty to prove. |
33/1 |
