5th Oct 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Scored at Haydock (1m6f, good to soft) last September but he's had only two runs this season and has been tailed off in both of them; now back on last winning mark but has plenty to prove and he's drawn out wide; tongue-tie reapplied. |

14th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Won off 1lb lower at Haydock (1m6f, good to soft) last September, but he's had only three runs since and was tailed off on his Wolverhampton reappearance last month; has some questions to answer and his tactical speed will be tested back at this trip. |

12th Sep 2026 Good 2m 1f 24y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Has done well in a visor for his new yard and he added to his Kempton win (2m) last summer when rallying well for a last-gasp success here (1m6f, good) last week; up 3lb but he pulled 6l clear with the runner-up last time and is a big player again back up in trip. |

2nd Sep 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |

2m AW handicap winner for Dominic Ffrench Davis last June; still early days with current yard and he has run well in a visor in last two races, at 2m and 1m6f; thereabouts. |

8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Sole win came in a 2m AW handicap for Dominic Ffrench Davis last June but he went very close to a second on just his second outing for Michael Wigham when short-headed at Lingfield (extended 2m, good to firm) under Alexandra Egan 17 days ago; the first-time visor he wore at Lingfield is retained. |

8th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 6 |
10st 1lb |
Won over C&D in April and he's finished second in both runs since including a close call at Kempton (2m; cheekpieces reapplied) in June; only 1lb higher here and he's a big player again back at this track. |
5/1 |

29th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Simply bumped into one on a rare turf start six weeks ago and returns to Polytrack off the same mark; cheekpieces go on for the first time in almost a year and his claims are obvious. |
6/4 |
|
2nd 5 (4) |
18th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 68y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Has resumed in good form and a 2lb rise for his recent AW win here under Ashley Lewis seems fair; has yet to win on turf (only run on it once since 2023) but otherwise has a decent chance of following up. |

Quickfire double at Lingfield (2m/1m5f; good) last August when the now-regular cheekpieces first went on; she's fired only once (last September) from her four subsequent starts, however. |

25th Jun 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
1-13; won at Southwell (2m, AW) off 3lb lower in February and he ran a fine race when third behind Balgowan over that same C&D in April; below form at Wolverhampton (2m, AW) 37 days ago but he was caught quite wide for a part of the race; yard won this last year. |
7/1 |
|
6th 7 (7) |
19th May 2025 Standard 2m 0f 120y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Had little trouble in shaking off his rivals when upped to 2m at Southwell in February and he ran a sound race in defeat when third over that C&D in April; looks one of the better options if proving suited by this track on first run here. |

15th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Regressive maiden for two yards who's done a lot of his racing over further and proved wildly inconsistent this year; the switch from cheekpieces to blinkers will need to make a difference. |
20/1 |
|
6th 3 (3) |
30th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 5f 66y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
0-12 but twice beaten only a length in handicaps, for Andrew Balding at Sandown last summer (1m6f; 11lb higher) and for this yard at Musselburgh two runs back (1m4f); had a shocker last time but he's better than that. |
6/1 |

6th 2 (7) |
9th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
0-11, but has run some of his best races at around this trip as when beaten just over a length into fourth of eight at Musselburgh (12.5f, good) last month; could go well from the same mark. |

4th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 5y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Well held on first two starts over hurdles late last year but, after a respectable fourth back on the Flat (1m6f) in January, has progressed since switched to handicaps and upped in trip over jumps; on a workable mark and this longer trip could unlock further improvement. |
7/2 |

2nd 1 |
6th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 147y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Well held on first two starts over hurdles late last year but, after a respectable fourth back on the Flat (1m6f) in January, made a promising handicap debut over hurdles when keeping on for second at Huntingdon (2m4f, good) last month; 2lb rise looks fair and she is high on the shortlist. |
11/4 |
|
2nd 5 |
11th Mar 2026 Good 2m 3f 137y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
A modest 1m4f Flat scorer for Tom Ward; failed to match that form sent hurdling for her current yard in 2025 but not discredited back on the Flat with fourth in 1m6f Southwell handicap 50 days ago; yard is going well so she could still do better on her hurdling handicap debut now. |

23rd Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 29y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Returned from long absence with three very underwhelming runs in low-grade Flat handicaps this year and is 12lb out of the weights for this first hurdling start since February 2023; has too much to prove. |

C&D winner in September 2024; the odd good run in early 2025 but this habitual slow-starter always comes with risks attached. |
16/1 |
|
9th 3 (9) |
25th Jun 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
1-17, with that win coming off 1lb lower at Lingfield (1m4f, AW) in September when sporting first-time cheekpieces; respectable effort there over 2m in April but he virtually refused to race on turf two weeks ago and was soon pulled up; best watched. |
9/1 |

2 (8) |
11th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Has been in competitive form on the AW but that's more his scene and he was only eighth of 11 on his previous turf start, albeit at a top track; could be given another chance on this surface. |

28th Apr 2026 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Returns to the AW after another modest effort over hurdles, but was twice runner-up on Polytrack before that; both wins have come on that surface, but he ran well to finish a close third behind Payment Plan over this C&D in November 2024; each-way claims again. |
7/1 |

7th 6 |
4th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 145y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Hasn't been seen over hurdles since February last year but was only beaten a head at Plumpton in December 2024 when 11-8 favourite; runner-up on the Flat twice recently so fitness will not be an issue and he must be of interest. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 8 (3) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Ran well in fourth at Chelmsford (2m, Polytrack) in January when back from some time off and built on that to go close there (1m6f) four weeks ago; there's every chance he'll be bang there once more. |
