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. |
12/1 |

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. |

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. |

20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
A fair 6f/7f scorer in 2024; quite lightly raced since but back to form with sixth of 11 in 7.5f Beverley handicap three weeks ago; not out of things with this shorter trip a plus. |
14/1 |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Ayr Bronze Cup winner in 2024 who also posted some good efforts without winning in 2025; beat one on his return in 7f Haydock handicap after nine months off but he should strip sharper now. |

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. |

1st 14 (18) |
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. |

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. |
12/1 |
|
9th 3 (4) |
27th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
One win from five handicap runs, when making all over 7f at Haydock last summer; looked capable of finding some improvement when a never-nearer fourth of ten at Epsom (7f) in June on second run back from a layoff, despite not handling the track; acts on Polytrack but unraced on Tapeta. |
10/1 |
|
4th 4 (5) |
1st Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Can race freely, just as he did when making all at Haydock (7f, good) last summer; stopped quickly without a tongue-tie on Yarmouth reappearance (gelded) and that aid is back in place now. |

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. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 1 (2) |
9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 113y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Three good runs this season, the latest a second at Chepstow (1m, good to firm) 12 days ago; competes off same mark and will be a tough nut to crack if first-time cheekpieces have any positive effect. |

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 |
|
2nd 8 (1) |
7th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Yet to register a victory but he arrives in decent nick, fading late when seventh in 1m2f Lingfield handicap 17 days ago; not out of things back in trip in a change of headgear. |
11/2 |
