1st Sep 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 60y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Two wins this season, the latter from the front over C&D (good to soft) in May; also suited by good to firm ground and last month's down-the-field finish here can be excused (stumbled leaving stalls) but others in this line-up look better handicapped; finished last of 13 in first-time visor here yesterday. |

31st Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 215y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
In a good vein of form, including at Brighton, until losing his chance at the start last time; however, raced mainly at about 5f and this belated return to 6f presents a question mark; change of headgear. |
10/1 |

1 (11) |
6th Aug 2025 Good 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Resurgent 8yo who handles most ground and has form figures of 231212 since the end of March; put in a dominant display (good to soft) in May and was just nabbed last time (also C&D, good to firm) in June; up another 1lb but remains well handicapped on old form and he's a big player back from a two-month break. |

22nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Useful in his younger days but, while he remains consistent, he's been on the downgrade for a while and has only won one of his last 43 starts; better effort on his second run back over C&D last time and this is a bit easier off a career-low mark. |
4/1 |
|
6th 5 (3) |
9th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 60y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Now at the veteran stage; may have needed last month's Lingfield reappearance and is back off the same mark as when beaten a head over C&D last September; can make the running; stable also runs Kento. |
12/1 |

6th 9 (2) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
Has run well fresh in the past but is knocking on and may need this after eight months off; doesn't often go beyond 5f these days and is drawn low, so has a bit to overcome. |

21st Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Front-runner who doesn't have the best strike-rate (3-48), but he is consistent and again ran well when fourth of 11 from the outside stall over C&D 15 days ago; may not face too much competition for the lead and could go well again. |
10/1 |
|
4th 13 (12) |
6th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
All three wins have been at this track, one over C&D; hasn't been firing on all cylinders this year though and needs the return to this track to bring about a revival. |
20/1 |
|
4th 6 (2) |
23rd Jun 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
Front-runner; 0-12 on turf but has placed form and he's a three-time AW winner; last run was disappointing (stays 6f) but had been running well prior to that; a greater concern would be the forecast slow ground. |

8th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Still 5lb higher than for her last win but she has been running with credit on AW for new trainer in recent starts; others appeal more for win purposes. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 1 (5) |
26th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Her record at Chelmsford reads 1223; her latest third was a well-beaten one, however, and more minor money may be her best hope. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 6 (5) |
26th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Good effort when second over C&D last month, her third run for this stable; not quite so good at Lingfield last time but the return of the tongue-tie could give her a lift. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 16y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Back on the up following a wind op in May, placed at Bath and over C&D before making all in a small-field handicap at Lingfield (6f, good to firm) 19 days ago; a 4lb rise asks more of her but she should give another good account; stable also run So Smart. |
100/30 |

27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Well suited by undulating tracks and has come back to form since undergoing wind surgery; now 3lb below her last winning mark and Harry Vigors has plenty of experience for 5lb in this company; down in class and it's hard to find any negatives. |
2/1 |
|
3rd 4 (2) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 16y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
A few near-misses to go with her C&D win and she bounced back last time from a string of poor efforts on her first start since undergoing wind surgery; on a fair mark if she builds on that. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Ended 2025 with two placed efforts on AW and he lines up here off a 6lb lower mark than when second at Newcastle in December; that is a result of four lesser efforts though and he now has a point to prove. |
20/1 |
|
9th 3 (2) |
23rd Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Close third over C&D in November off 3lb higher but he's finished down the field in his last three starts and his last win was over two years ago; others preferred. |
16/1 |
|
10th 5 (7) |
24th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
No win since February 2024; caught late by Latin Five (who, when factoring in riding arrangements, is now 6lb worse off) over C&D three starts back; less competitive at Southwell (6f) and Wolverhampton since; must bounce back. |

23rd Sep 2025 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Made a successful nursery debut at Brighton (5f, good to firm) just over a year ago and only just beaten in her next two starts over 5f on Polytrack, including here; hasn't matched that form since and failed to beat a rival over C&D last month (behind Gogo Yubari). |

6th 4 (2) |
30th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 5 |

Gained sole success off a higher mark but isn't particularly solid on 2026 efforts, both in the spring; left Michael Attwater since; possibly best watched unless the betting speaks positively. |
10/1 |

13th 9 (12) |
5th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Just one win from his 18 starts but that came off a 2lb higher mark last summer; raced freely on his return to action 16 days ago and dropped away in the straight; likely to last longer today. |
7/1 |
|
6th 2 (2) |
20th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |

On a fair mark on last season's best, including a 5f win at Windsor in June; absent 172 days and he'll need to be cherry ripe to take this. |

15th Jul 2026 Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
5.5f course winner (firm) who arrives on the back of a revived 5f win at Chepstow (good to firm); up 3lb for that but has won several times from higher marks and has to be taken seriously. |
5/2 |

1st 2 (2) |
27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 16y Class 6 |

22nd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Close third off this reduced mark at Brighton (6f, good to firm) last month and he can't be discounted; however, this 8yo has been inconsistent this season and was soundly beaten back at Brighton most recently. |

8th 4 (5) |
1st Jul 2026 Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |

7th 6 (9) |

10th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 0y |

19th Jan 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
