13th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Likes it here and has course form figures of 713332; hasn't won since October 2024 but blinkers replace cheekpieces and one to consider. |
10/1 |

2nd 7 (7) |
8th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
No win since October 2024 (Brighton); late headway on return from two-month break at Lingfield (1m2f AW; sixth of 12, 12-1, beaten under 2l) recently; suited by this stiff track (form figures 71333) so isn't totally discounted. |

11th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Dual winner over this trip on turf in 2024 and didn't run at all badly when fourth of 13 at Brighton (1m2f, good) in June after 221 days off; seven previous goes on the AW leave him with something to prove. |

26th May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Placed plenty of times but has only won the once in 19 starts; reasonable fourth on her comeback run and forced wide throughout when well beaten at Beverley (again over 1m4f); wouldn't be the percentage play. |

15th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 29y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Two modest Flat wins in 2025 but he's 0-7 over hurdles, beaten about 26l in handicaps on last two outings (here latest); hard to fancy. |
66/1 |

4th 4 |
22nd Sep 2026 Good 2m 1f 162y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Well held at Newton Abbot (2m2f, good to firm) last month and now 0-7 over hurdles but was third over that C&D on consecutive outings in July (good/good to firm) and has possibilities if judged on that form. |
10/1 |

6th 10 |
22nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 110y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Dual Flat winner who has produced two encouraging placed efforts over C&D of late; has a bit to find with some of these but should be thereabouts. |

19th Oct 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Pulled up over hurdles a month ago but he won on the Flat in June, albeit over an extended 1m3f; likely to find this too sharp a test. |
8/1 |

22nd Sep 2026 Good 2m 1f 162y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Won off a lowly Flat mark in June (11.4f, good to firm) but not seen over hurdles since 49l defeat (albeit on soft ground) on handicap debut in December 2024 and his tendency to race too freely remains a worry; tricky to weigh up back in this sphere. |
10/1 |
|
4th 4 (3) |
17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
No win in his first 18 starts but he made the breakthrough in a C&D handicap (good to firm; 3lb higher today) in June; fair C&D third seven days later and the disappointing show on latest outing was over 1m2f; case can be made on that winning form and some 2025 efforts. |

7th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Regressive gelding who become inconsistent; punctuated a string of ordinary efforts with a near-miss in a small field over C&D in June (first-time blinkers) but well held the next twice before fading into a modest third over 1m4f here yesterday. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 2 (1) |
6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 198y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Gave short-odds favourite a fright when second of four here (1m2f, good to firm; first-time blinkers) in June but was soundly beaten on his other four starts for Tony Carroll this year and his latest win was in 2023. |
5/1 |

5th 5 (4) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Hasn't won since 2023 but he went close in a Brighton handicap (1m2f, good to firm) last month; has claims on that form but he's not easy to predict and was beaten 15l back at Brighton two weeks ago; risks attached. |

25th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Runner-up off 3lb higher in this race 12 months and has claims if judged on that performance but has been in steady decline in recent years, as evidenced by his recent Flat form in basement-grade events. |
7/1 |
|
4th 6 (2) |
2nd Sep 2026 Good 1m 3f 137y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
0-28 on the Flat but he has finished runner-up five times, including at Lingfield last month; solid effort in a classified event on the AW there two weeks ago (1m4f) and makes each-way appeal. |
13/2 |
|
4th 3 (10) |
18th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
0-27 on the Flat and although he was runner-up here on the turf track (11.5f, good to firm) two weeks ago, he does not appeal for win purposes. |

2nd Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
12-race maiden; ran well over 1m here on his stable debut last May but backward steps ever since; hopes pinned on the new, longer trip and the addition of blinkers (has worn a visor and cheekpieces in the past) sparking a revival. |

12th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Placed twice off lowly marks this year and will be suited by today's trip/ground but this regressive 7yo is on a fairly long losing run and others here appeal more; visor the headgear of choice today. |
14/1 |
|
6 (10) |
15th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 50y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
His last win came in December 2023 but he's run some good races this year, including when third of nine at Leicester (1m2f, good to firm) in May; well beaten behind some of these rivals at Lingfield (1m2f, good to firm) 27 days ago, despite being sent off favourite; cheekpieces replace visor. |
8/1 |
|
3 (6) |
18th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
His last win was in December 2023 but he's run some good races this year including when runner-up in a classified at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) in February and a close third in Leicester handicap (1m2f, good to firm) on his penultimate run; looks interesting on that form and he's respected in this weak race. |
