31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
No win on turf since successful over C&D (good to firm) in July 2024; losing run up to 12, but 4lb below his last winning mark and has won on soft ground; shortlisted. |

12th Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 209y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Placed here (1m2f, good) in June, after a break, and not discredited when second of four over C&D (good) last month; remains well handicapped on some of his winter AW form and can make his presence felt again. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Went close in Chepstow handicap (1m, good; fine over 1m2f) in June and has strong form claims here if judged on that performance but this regressive and inconsistent 6yo is on a long losing run, and his habit of starting slowly is always a worry; sports first-time cheekpieces; risky. |
7/1 |

4th 2 (4) |
31st Jul 2026 Firm 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Now 2lb lower than when going close at Chepstow (1m, good) last month and will also be suited by today's longer trip but this regressive and inconsistent 6yo is on a long losing run, and his habit of starting slowly is always a worry. |
6/1 |

Keeps missing the break but he still went close two starts ago at Chepstow and it wasn't a bad run here last time, again over 1m; returning to further looks a good move. |

24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Made a successful handicap debut in a 0-60 contest at Bath (1m, firm) for Joe Ponting in May last year, but not built on it and her two efforts since returning this May have been poor; needs the change of stable and drop in class to make a big difference; yard also runs Judge Frank. |
25/1 |

13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Won a C&D handicap (firm) last May; mixed bag since then and she was a remote 14th of the 15 runners at Windsor three weeks ago; now tried in a tongue-tie. |
10/1 |
|
14th 11 (14) |
23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Made a winning turf/handicap debut at Bath (1m) last May and posted a creditable second upped to 1m2f at that track (also firm) nine days later; didn't match that form subsequently but last year was this 5yo's first season racing so chance she might have a shade more to offer this term. |

24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 209y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Has won on turf but boasts a far superior strike-rate on the AW and hasn't been that threatening on good to firm in his last two races. |
9/1 |

8th 3 (11) |
2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
A winner on turf but has a superior strike-rate on the AW including a hat-trick earlier this year; only four ran when third at Yarmouth last time and that was under a 5lb claimer; could be vulnerable. |

11st 7lb |
Three hurdle wins this season, most recently when given a nicely judged Joe Anderson ride from off the pace over C&D (good) 12 days ago; 4lb rise is not excessive but the ground may have turn against him now. |

6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Has lots of Kempton form but she's been out of sorts over C&D in last three runs and her last win was two years ago; opposable. |

2nd Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

30th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 80y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Won five times during the AW season; much better treated on turf now but has never been as good or consistent on grass, and he ran poorly at Yarmouth when last seen; Billy Loughnane is a positive booking but he wouldn't want too much rain. |
6/1 |
|
10th 5 (1) |
13th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Has won five times on the AW since October, most recently at Chelmsford (1m, AW; second has won since) in March, and another solid effort at Southwell last month; 0-9 on grass but he's on a much lower mark on this surface. |

22-race maiden who is far from solid on his form, all at Wolverhampton, this winter. |
40/1 |
|
8th 12 (11) |
2nd Feb 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Inconsistent 21-race maiden who has finished ninth in classified events here (9.4f) in his last two runs; has plenty to prove again and he's struggled in three attempts at this trip. |
33/1 |

9th 3 (1) |
19th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |

Inconsistent 20-race maiden who finished last of nine in a classified event over C&D last Monday; others preferred. |
