9th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Last win came in emphatic fashion over C&D (good to soft) in October 2024; still 6lb higher and he may just need this after 221 days off. |

31st Oct 2025 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
2-19 overall, with both his wins in 2024 over 1m2f; three thirds from his five starts (all 1m2f) this season and he would have been close up at Leicester last time but for some interference, but he did not shape that day as if this shorter trip would suit. |

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. |

3rd 9 |
13th Jul 2026 Good 2m 2f 110y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Dual Flat winner (1m2f/1m4f) who had shown little over hurdles until stepped up in trip when a near 6l third behind Saucats over C&D ten days ago; meets that rival on 4lb better terms and enters calculations if building on that performance. |
14/1 |
|
3rd 6 |
3rd Jul 2026 Good 2m 2f 110y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Dual Flat winner (1m2f/1m4f) who hasn't offered much at all over hurdles, including his handicap debut here last time when tried in a tongue-tie; went off 25-1 that day. |
20/1 |
|
8th 9 |
3rd Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Dual Flat winner (1m2f/1m4f); has offered little in three runs over hurdles for this stable but may fare better now switched to handicaps with a tongue-tie added. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
No win in his first 18 starts but he made the breakthrough in a handicap here (11.4f, good to firm) last month and backed that up with a creditable third on his return visit seven days later; now drops back in trip but he ran well over C&D in May and he still looks on a workable mark; shortlisted. |
11/2 |

3rd 1 (16) |
8th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 3f 99y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
0-18 before he won a C&D handicap (good to firm) last Monday, coming from the rear; well beaten in his hurdle races on softer than good but has not encountered it on Flat and having some recent form is respected. |
3/1 |
|
1st 6 (5) |
1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
0-18 but does possess ability as when second of 15 on his return from four months off here (1m2f, good to firm) nine days ago; usually takes a good grip, though, and this sort of trip has found him out in the past. |

Hasn't won since 2023 but went close when beaten a neck over C&D (good to firm) last month; first run in a classified and should go close. |

2nd 5 (3) |
21st Jun 2026 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |

Five-time winner on turf but very quiet in two runs for this yard, the latest only last week; tries blinkers. |

13th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has 1-54 career strike-rate, the win gained over hurdles in 2022; this year's Flat handicap form is uninspiring but he'll appreciate this ease in grade and is worth a glance in the betting. |
14/1 |
|
5th 8 (4) |
21st Jun 2026 Good 1m 3f 198y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Has poor 1-53 strike-rate, the win gained over hurdles in 2022, and was soundly beaten on both outings this year (11.4f/1m2f); might be perked up by the refitted blinkers, though, and Billy Loughnane is a good booking. |

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. |
