17th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
11st 5lb |
Had a question mark over the return to 1m at Salisbury recently and his third there was a remote one; had been in good form for this yard previously, winning in good style under William Pearman at Chepstow (1m2f) in June and then over 1m4f at Catterick; all three AW wins have come on Polytrack but he ran respectably in one previous C&D attempt; solid chance. |

21st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Won two of his four starts (1m2f-1m4f) since joining Tony Carroll, including for today's rider; dropping back to 1m not sure to play to his strengths though. |
8/1 |

5th 5 (7) |
30th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Four-time winner for Ed Dunlop and he made it 2-3 for current yard when landing novice amateurs' race at Catterick (1m4f, good to firm) two weeks ago; up another 2lb but remains well treated on his old form, and four of his wins have come over this trip; leading contender. |

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. |

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. |

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. |
8/1 |

6th 4 (8) |
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. |

28th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 216y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Perhaps handled the good to soft ground better than his rivals when a clearcut winner at Bath last time and shot up 8lb for that; effective here under these conditions but new mark is a worry. |

1st 6 (10) |
13th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Prominent racer; consistent this season with the exception of his penultimate run, but bounced straight back from that three weeks ago at Brighton (1m, good to firm) and the runner-up ran well this week; 2lb higher. |

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. |

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. |

Three of his six wins have come over C&D, including the corresponding race in 2024; not at his best this summer though and stall 13 won't make life easy. |

8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 23y Class 6 |

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. |

5th 3 (3) |
26th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 23y Class 6 |

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 |
