24th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |

Won at Windsor last June for Mark Hoad but form went the wrong way for that yard; no revival on his three runs for this stable. |

Sprung a 40-1 surprise at Windsor in June (1m, good to firm); now 2lb lower but that is a result of having shown little since; handles Polytrack but others look safer. |

9st 9lb |
Has earned four of his five wins here, three over C&D (all on a sound surface); placed again here twice this season but was below par on his penultimate start and finished last 27 days ago (both C&D); questions to answer now. |

Successful four times at Yarmouth, including in this race (off 2lb higher) two years ago; finished second, beaten just over 1l, when favourite for C&D contest last week; nicely handicapped and looks a leading player. |

18th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Held on well to score at Doncaster (1m, good to firm) last month and has no stamina worries over this longer trip but recent 3lb rise is probably enough to leave this 8yo vulnerable to younger rivals here. |
5/1 |

1st 11 (2) |
25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
A dual 7f/1m scorer at Redcar last autumn and she comes here in decent nick, suffering a poor run when seventh of ten in 8.5f Beverley handicap ten days ago; needs considering off a slipping mark. |
11/1 |
|
7th 8 (5) |
15th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 100y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Won three turf handicaps (1m/7f) in 2025, all in a tongue-tie and the latest with cheekpieces on for the first time; no headgear for either start last month (probably didn't stay 1m2f last time) and the accessories are missing again; back on her last winning mark, though. |

3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Rattled off a four-timer over 1m2f on Polytrack during the winter, including three wins here; has never attempted this far on the Flat before, though, and will need plenty to go right from the outside stall. |
22/1 |
|
5th 7 (8) |
28th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Reeled off a four-timer around the turn of the year, the last three wins coming over C&D; found King's Hand too strong last time (had finished in front of him on penultimate start) and there shouldn't be much between the pair again. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 8 (9) |
29th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Thriving this winter, getting off the mark at Chelmsford last month and winning three C&D handicaps since; latest narrow success has been handsomely advertised by the runner-up (two easy wins since) and a 4lb rise looks generous; sound claims of completing the five-timer. |

19th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 135y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
All six of her wins have been at either Brighton or Yarmouth, and she's been off since finishing fifth of 12 at the former track in October; handles most underfoot conditions but may need this return. |
12/1 |
|
5th 12 (6) |
7th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Fifth in this last year (Blue Collar Lad second); her six wins have been split evenly between here and Yarmouth (7f-1m) and she seems to handle most underfoot conditions; her staying-on fourth at Leicester (7f, good to soft) a fortnight ago offers some hope. |
11/1 |
|
4th 6 (4) |
22nd Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Six wins, all on good or faster but fully effective on soft ground; chance if back to the level she showed when landing two 7f handicaps at Yarmouth in midsummer but not at her best on last three starts. |

16th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Struggled back on turf last twice but he ran lots of good races on AW in the spring and is well treated on his two wins late last year; has record of 29123 at Chelmsford and he looks interesting back in this sphere. |
10/1 |
|
9 (10) |
30th Jul 2025 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Both of his wins have been on AW over 7f and he's yet to finish in the first three in six starts on turf; failed to beat a rival at Yarmouth (1m, good) three weeks ago and now drops back down to 6f with the visor back on (replacing cheekpieces); probably better on AW over a bit further. |
14/1 |
|
6 (8) |
9th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Both wins over 7f on AW; form took a slight dip the last twice, finishing fourth in two turf classifieds, latterly here (1m, good; second go at the trip) lat month; on the plus side he's down to his last winning mark and seemed to stay this distance last time. |

Keen-going sort who has been in mainly good heart in turf handicaps since May (26212), the win coming at Yarmouth (1m, good) in July; a player if maintaining his form on Polytrack debut. |

Off the mark over C&D (good) 19 days ago after finishing second a couple of times; raised 4lb but should give it a good go in his follow-up bid. |

9th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |

Modest form since returning this year after wind surgery and her latest third behind Heer's Sadie here (7f, good to firm) last month needs building on; first-time cheekpieces worn that day quickly discarded. |
16/1 |

3rd 3 (1) |
12th Jun 2025 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
1m AW winner; had wind surgery prior to her reappearance at Southwell in April, when down the field; marginally better effort here (1m, good to soft) latest; drops back in trip with cheekpieces now fitted; revival needed. |
7/1 |

4 (6) |
29th May 2025 Good 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Sole win came on AW; her two turf runs don't feature among her better efforts but she was sent off favourite in a first-time tongue tie when sixth to United Force over C&D in July, after which she had wind surgery; might have needed her latest outing when sixth at Southwell (1m; United Force third) after 274 days away. |

1st 8 (6) |
20th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |

Four wins, including C&D, this winter and latest Chelmsford run probably not the one to judge him on; that said, he wouldn't look to have much wiggle room off his current mark. |

6th 7 (2) |
7th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Won four times during the winter (7f-1m) and has gone up more than a stone in the weights, having been nudged up another 2lb for last weekend's Lingfield second; won't mind going back up in trip, though, and has a decent chance of adding to his tally. |

Sole win from 35 starts came at Yarmouth (7f, soft) in September 2023 but she's been poor there on her last five starts, including on her only previous try at this trip; others preferred. |

Sole win in 34 starts came in a 0-65 handicap here (7f, soft) just under two years ago; poor in her last four starts and a hood (worn previously) replaces first-time blinkers; hard to fancy. |

Both of his wins have been at Kempton over 7f, the more recent in January 2024; beaten 1l when fourth of seven in a classified event at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm; first-time blinkers) 20 days ago; back into a handicap on this return to AW. |

15th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |

Operating below a winning level kept mostly to 7f-1m this year; record of 033 granted 6f on turf (one place over C&D), never failing to record an RPR of at least 51, so this first assignment granted such a trip/surface combination since spring 2023 may be worth a go; blinkers added. |
