5th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
He's dropped to a mark fully 15lb lower than when a close fourth over C&D last August; however, this regressive 5yo has struggled to get competitive this year; a first-time visor replaces a tongue-tie. |

14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Should be well handicapped but that has been the case for a while and his losing run stretches back 18 months; attracted support at Yarmouth last month (7f, good) but fared no better; now tried in a tongue-tie. |

20th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Three wins in 2024 but he has drawn a blank since; returns to his optimum trip off a reduced mark and this is his first Class 5 handicap for some time; not solid but he has the ability to go well. |

9th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Well treated on last season's best efforts and a recent run at Thirsk should have sharpened him up; trip and ground suit and he is another to consider in an open race. |

18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Ran well on his seasonal/stable debut last March; placed in 7f handicaps at Sandown and Kempton on final two runs in 2025; returns in a competitive event. |

15th Oct 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Has become well handicapped, but also expensive to follow since his last win in September 2024; made no show in his only previous attempt over this far. |
12/1 |

6th 3 (1) |
3rd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Yet to hit top gear after three runs this season (7f-7.4f); on good mark and can cope with combination of drop back to 6f and return to Tapeta but others have less to prove. |

19th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
His neck success in 17-runner Ascot handicap (7f, good to firm) in July was a bolt from the blue but he couldn't back it up when slowly away and tailed off at Sandown last month; did run well on both previous starts over C&D, including when fourth in this last year, but he's risky. |
25/1 |
|
6th 5 (5) |
6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Front-runner who won this race 12 months ago and bounced back to form out of the blue when springing a 33-1 surprise in 7f Ascot handicap (good to firm) 26 days ago; put back up 4lb but last year's success came off 5lb higher so he retains plenty of handicapping scope. |
6/1 |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Dual winner from the front last summer but has shown very little this season; tumbling in the weights but carries clear risks. |

5th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
A fair 7f winner in 2025; not proving easy to catch right this season and went too freely when last of eight in 6f Salisbury handicap last time; others appeal more. |
25/1 |
|
8th 8 (5) |
11th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Made the breakthrough in his first turf handicap when scoring at Haydock (good) last July, and he was back down to that same mark when a resurgent third at Wolverhampton (again 7f, AW) last month; often races freely and this first crack at 6f looks well worth a go; unproven away from a sound surface but he's otherwise interesting. |
10/1 |

3rd 6 (1) |
18th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Found the race not run to suit at Epsom early last month, when hanging left, but then pulled way too hard in front on his Tapeta debut latest; that was far from the first time he'd over-raced and much will hinge on how he settles early from the inside stall. |

9th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Broadly consistent on turf this term and soft ground provides an excuse for form-dip last time; 0-13 in handicaps but now returns to the scene of his novice win; this may be the time to catch him. |
7/1 |
|
7th 6 (7) |
29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Novice winner who has been paying his way in defeat in handicaps; wasn't helped by a dawdling pace last time at Sandown (1m); good or fast ground is fine, but slower would be an unknown. |
7/1 |
|
4th 3 (4) |
29th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Four good runs this season, the latest a close second at Epsom (8.5f, good to firm; first-time cheekpieces) three weeks ago; went up 3lb for that but the form was boosted when the winner followed up on Friday; ought to be right in the thick of things again. |

21st Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Exposed 19-race maiden; placed over C&D (hooded first time) 11 weeks ago and has run well after a break in the past; still looks vulnerable for win purposes though. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 6 (9) |
7th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
0-18 and his record is a patchy one; below par at Salisbury last month and the change of headgear isn't enough to tempt. |
14/1 |
|
9th 3 (9) |
14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Still a maiden after 17 starts but scores good marks for consistency; runner-up in first-time visor (retained) at Windsor (1m, good to firm) last month and ought to be on the premises again here. |
6/1 |
