15th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 13y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Four-time winner for Ed Dunlop; lost his way in Ireland but bounced back to make a winning start for Tony Carroll at Chepstow (1m2f, good to soft; fine on faster) last month; possibly found the run coming too soon when only fifth over 1m at Brighton six days later; probably stays 1m4f and retains handicapping scope on his best form. |

21st Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
Four-time winner for Ed Dunlop who lost his way in Ireland but bounced back to form last Monday (1m2f, good to soft; fine on faster) when a clearcut winner on his debut for this yard; William Pearman rides again with a penalty to carry. |

Four-time winner for Ed Dunlop; lost his way in Ireland earlier in the year and, although potentially well treated if the change of scenery has helped, he's hard to recommend this time. |

21st Jul 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Competitive in 1m2f handicaps on last three outings and came from off the pace to win by a nose at Yarmouth (good) on latest, getting off the mark at eighth attempt; back up 2lb and has each-way chance. |
5/2 |

9th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 23y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Seven-race maiden; beaten around 5l by the same prolific winner in 1m2f amateur riders' races the last twice, latterly at Bath (firm) in early May; edging down the weights; a possible. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 5 (5) |
5th May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 37y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Six-race maiden; beaten around 4l when fourth behind Beauld As Brass at Lingfield (1m2f) 12 days ago but she ran well for a long way and has a big swing in the weights with her old rival here; could pose a serious threat if she backs up that last run. |

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. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Six-time AW winner who is 0-12 on grass but he's been placed on turf in his last three runs including when runner-up at Nottingham (1m2f, good to firm) 16 days ago; on same mark here and he should be in the thick of things again. |
4/1 |

2nd 6 (8) |

9st 3lb |
Six-time AW winner who is 0-11 on turf but he's been placed at Bath (1m, good) and Brighton (1m2f, good to firm) in his last two starts; should go well again and he's respected in change of headgear. |

11th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 23y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Won first three handicaps for new yard on AW and turf (1m-1m2f) by emphatic margins but he couldn't defy a penalty in October and was a further 5lb higher when soundly beaten in November; now has to show he can cope with current mark; regular cheekpieces left off. |

31st Oct 2025 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Ridden last three years by Alice Bond; 3-3 for Martin Dunne with his wins over 9.4f at Wolverhampton, 1m2f at Brighton and 8.6f at Wolverhampton, with varied tactics but all in good style; 4lb penalty and just six days off but that latest run was career-best form and this 7yo is on the march. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 3f 179y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Three-time winner, the most recent coming at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW) in November; runner-up there over 9.5f in April but he was well beaten at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) three weeks ago and needs to bounce back. |
16/1 |

23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Good run of turf form last summer included when making all at Yarmouth (1m2f, good to soft; acts on quicker) in July; mostly creditable efforts on AW since winning at Wolverhampton (1m4f) in November and he's far from ruled out back on grass despite tricky stall. |

Six-time AW winner who has more off days than on now; better off with Zafaan than when fifth behind him over C&D 12 days ago, back into a handicap today, but needs more. |

All six wins have come at around this trip on AW; pulled up back over hurdles last month and withdrawn in that code subsequently having been unruly at the post; best watched. |

4th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Got off the mark at the 21st attempt under an inspired ride by today's rider Matthew Lloyd Slater at Leicester (1m4f, good to firm) last month; needs to be kidded along and his resolution is more key than the 4lb rise he now picks up but should go close. |
5/1 |
|
9 (8) |
17th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 179y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Some mixed results this year but he wasn't far away over C&D (good to firm) in June and was as close as he's ever been to a first win when beaten a neck at Yarmouth (1m2f) last week; on the premises. |
7/1 |
|
8 (4) |
9th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 23y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
0-19; best form for this yard when second in an AW classified in January, when wearing a tongue-tie and cheekpieces; that headgear combination was swapped for a hood when a respectable fourth at Leicester (also 1m4f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; drop back to this trip not an obvious plus. |
8/1 |
