12th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 3f 197y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Seen a good deal more often on AW but won the latest of her four turf races, over 11.6f on good ground at Lingfield in June, and that was up with her best form; close second on good to soft last year; looks vulnerable off this mark but 5lb claimer Jack Callan is enlisted. |

28th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Acts well on Tapeta, winning at Wolverhampton (1m4f) in November and ran to a similar level over that trip here before Christmas; has had some good results since but C&D run in July wasn't one of them; must revive. |

13th Jul 2025 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Has clocked up a very solid record in handicaps, with last month's win in a small field on turf but seen mostly on AW, including here; unlikely to be far away. |

27th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Kickstarted 2026 with success at Wolverhampton (9.5f) in March and backed it up with a good third of 12 in another 9.5f handicap there since; this C&D scorer can go well again off the same mark. |

3rd 4 (12) |
20th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
His first seven wins were all gained over 1m4f/1m3f, with the latest of those last October, but he then made all under Olivia Tubb in a six-runner race over C&D 13 days ago; that win was by a neck and he's been raised 2lb since, but a wide draw complicates today's task. |
12/1 |

1st 5 (3) |
7th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Has gained all wins over 1m3f/1m4f, including at Southwell (narrowly) in October when last seen; the 8yo is still competitively treated on historical data but has something to prove back down in trip. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Did well last spring and was placed five consecutive times last summer/autumn; now well handicapped on those exploits but beaten upwards of 8l on all four outings this year; can't rule out a revival but hard to be confident. |
8/1 |

7th 6 (16) |
13th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Did well last spring and placed five consecutive times last summer/autumn; now well handicapped on those exploits but down the field in his three appearances this year; latest was in a 1m4f race at Chester last week, where he'd been runner-up the year before, so there are doubts currently. |

10th 2 (9) |
8th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Placed five consecutive times on turf/AW last summer/autumn and now well handicapped on those exploits but finished well down the field on first two appearances this year (1m6f/1m2f); hood removed after one use. |

30th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 196y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Sole win (22 races) was on AW in June 2024; five seconds on turf and bang there on AW (1m3f/1m4f) on last two starts before 30,000gns sale (left Alan King) in April, but this is the first time he's gone beyond that on Flat. |

6th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Sole win in 1m2f Lingfield AW handicap nearly two years ago; has been running well since back on AW of late but it's pushing it to call him well handicapped in this competitive race. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 2 (5) |
10th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
On a losing run but he comes here in good nick, coming out on top of the pace-setters when fifth of ten in 1m4f Wolverhampton handicap 39 days ago; he holds solid claims off a 2lb lower mark. |

2nd May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Recorded his tenth win when scoring at Wolverhampton (2m, Tapeta) in January; held his form with creditable efforts in next three starts but his good spell came to a halt at Lingfield last month; has bit to prove again after that heavy defeat and his last turf win was in 2022. |

13th 10 (11) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Three course wins have come over 1m4f, but he has won over this sort of trip elsewhere; finished half a length behind St Faz when third of four at Southwell (1m6f, Tapeta) and now 11lb better off; each-way claims. |
18/1 |
|
3rd 1 (3) |
26th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Multiple winner who arrives in form, his success at Wolverhampton (Tapeta) in January followed by solid third at Kempton (also about 2m, Polytrack) a fortnight later; ran well for second over extended 2m2f here three weeks ago and just as effective over this shorter trip; warrants respect. |
