14th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Had a luckless passage at Bath last month but had a clearer run through when winning at Leicester (6f, good to firm) five days ago, travelling strongly and doing it comfortably; carries a 4lb penalty for that success and looks the one to beat. |
7/4 |
|
1st 6 (2) |
9th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Tough sort who last won on turf more than a year ago but he had a luckless run at Bath recently (extended 5f, good; no aids, as today); acts on this track and versatile regarding the ground; can't rule out. |
13/2 |
|
6th 11 (8) |
17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Hold-up performer who won four times last year including off 4lb higher at Brighton (7f, good to firm); two solid efforts on AW since rejoining Tony Carroll last month and he could be a big factor if he gets the breaks back on turf; tongue-tie and blinkers are removed but he has won without headgear. |

16th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Epsom specialist who predictably ran well in sole Brighton attempt; well treated on lots of 7f form; gives 1m a belated second go. |
8/1 |
|
6th 7 (7) |
28th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Epsom specialist who has form figures of 3127 in this race, the win in 2022; on a two-year losing spell but ran encouragingly (third to Kisskodi) over C&D most recently; possibilities off current mark. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 9 (5) |
11th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Has form on all surfaces; won this in 2021 and 2023, and finished a close second in 2022, but he was well beaten when favourite here 12 months ago and his form has been quite mixed this year; he's a possible reviver back in this race but he hasn't justified shortish prices on last two starts, including over C&D, which leaves questions to answer. |

20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
13-race maiden who can miss the break and he returned after wind surgery with a laboured effort over C&D (17-2) two weeks ago; finished behind three of today's rivals in that race and he needs to leave that form behind. |
20/1 |
|
7th 2 (7) |
4th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
In the frame in all four starts on the AW, but yet to win after 12 attempts; returns from 191 days off having undergone wind surgery and he may be best watched despite having run well fresh in the past. |
10/1 |
|
9 (15) |
25th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
0-11 but runner-up in first-time tongue-tie (retained since) at Ascot (7f, soft) last month and did well to finish sixth of 17 there (7f, good to soft) last time having been slowly away; wears first-time blinkers and could have a big part to play. |

3rd 7 (3) |
1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Has generally been consistent this year, winning for the first time on turf at Musselburgh (7f, good) in April; recorded a rare blip at Leicester last month but back on track when runner-up at Ayr (7f, good to firm) 12 days ago; respected. |
11/4 |
|
2nd 4 (7) |
20th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Some good form this spring prior to winning at Musselburgh (7f, good) last month; flopped at Leicester (7f, good to firm) 11 days ago but he shouldn't be written off today. |
13/2 |
|
8th 4 (4) |
9th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Gained a deserved victory in 7f Musselburgh handicap ten days ago; up 2lb but this consistent front-runner ought to be in the shake-up again. |

9th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Off the mark in a 7f Lingfield maiden (soft) on fourth start but he hasn't looked worth his mark in two handicaps since, over 6f and 7f; down further 2lb but likely to need another drop before of interest. |
20/1 |
|
7 (1) |
7th Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Grabbed the favoured stands' rail when off the mark in a soft-ground maiden at Lingfield and dropped away tamely on handicap debut at Doncaster, albeit back at 6f; others preferred. |
12/1 |
|
8th 3 (7) |
24th Jul 2025 Soft 0m 6f 2y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Off the mark at the fourth attempt when landing a Lingfield maiden (7f, soft) last month; pulled hard in that race but he grabbed the stands' rail and did well to hold off some finishers; looks on fair mark now switched to a handicap and he's open to more progress on this drop back in trip. |

22nd Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Four-time 7f winner, the latest when getting first run on Dream Illusion at Haydock 17 days ago; couldn't cope with a penalty at Chester one week later but she races off 3lb lower today; has the ability to feature but she hasn't shone in previous Leicester runs. |
5/1 |
|
4th 7 (3) |
12th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Returned to form with win at Haydock (7f, good) one week ago, despite racing a bit too freely and encountering some traffic; 5lb penalty and due to go up only 2lb but suited by this C&D and can pose a threat. |
7/2 |
|
1st 5 (7) |
5th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Won over C&D last July and back on the scoresheet at Wolverhampton in February; however, her three runs on turf this summer haven't been great. |

15th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 215y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Three wins (5.6f/7f) for the Kublers and latest was at this track last August; well handicapped on that form but she's struggled in three runs for current yard and needs a big turnaround. |
14/1 |
|
9 (5) |
7th Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Three wins for the Kubler yard included one over C&D; has finished last in both her runs for Tony Carroll following an absence and cheekpieces did nothing for her when tried once before. |
33/1 |
|
5th 3 (2) |
2nd Jun 2025 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Did a lot of her racing for the Kubler yard in sprints but proved fine over 7f last summer, including a win here; offered little on her comeback for new trainer (Local Bay looks his best shout) three weeks ago, however, and has to prove her stamina. |

20th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Three 7f wins this year, including on Tapeta, and only 1lb higher than for the latest; well short of his best on his last two runs (slowly away latest); revival not out of the question. |
10/1 |
|
6 (8) |
7th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Three wins over 7f this season, the first on Tapeta at Newcastle and the last two (Chepstow, Brighton) on fast ground; not at his best on Tapeta last time but could still go well. |
9/1 |
|
5th 8 (5) |
25th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Won at Brighton (7f, good to firm) last month before a respectable fourth of ten at Catterick (7f, good to firm) 38 days ago; has won over this C&D and can go well. |
