5th 6 (4) |
29th Apr 2026 Firm 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Four-time winner, most recently in November 2024 at Newmarket (1m1f, good) off a 14lb higher mark than today's; has attracted support since joining this yard and was a close third in a classified event at Wolverhampton 65 days ago; steps back into handicaps with claims. |

3rd 1 (8) |
23rd Feb 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Scored four times on turf in 2024; on the decline since and 0-13 on AW but he was well backed when a creditable fourth in a C&D classified event ten days ago when just behind Dash Power; big player if he can build on that. |

31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Triple course winner who is on a dangerous mark but he's been out of sorts at big prices in his four runs this season; has plenty to prove and all of his nine wins have been over 6f. |
25/1 |
|
8th 7 (4) |
18th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Won this last year, one of three C&D victories, for Charlie Tucker off a 2lb higher mark in a small field; yard enjoying a better spell of late and this may have been the plan but he doesn't arrive in the same form as last year; the years might be catching up. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Conditions to suit and this veteran is likely to find more races this year; the evidence of his two runs in 2026 suggests he may need some more help from the handicapper before he is of renewed interest though. |

2nd 2 (10) |
13th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
10st 1lb |
C&D win last October off 2lb lower; had a wind operation prior to his seasonal return in June; two solid efforts this year and he's one to consider. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 1 (3) |
20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Added to his two turf wins when finishing well to score on AW at Lingfield (7f) last October; hasn't hit the same level in two subsequent runs but he returned after wind surgery with a fair third in a Class 4 at Salisbury (7f, good) last month; looks worth another try at this trip and he's in the mix on this drop back in grade. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 8 (8) |
14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 213y Class 4 |
8st 8lb |
Successful in Class 6 over C&D and Class 5 on AW last term; had wind surgery since final outing; needs to prove he can cope with this higher grade on reappearance but market support should be heeded. |

23rd Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
A modest 1m2f Flat scorer in April; 40-1, hinted at promise with fifth of nine in novice over C&D on hurdling debut last month; can build on it here. |
25/1 |
|
5th 1 |
22nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Record of just 1-20 on Flat, the success in Class 6 handicap over 1m2f in April; form dipped last time; brings limited potential to this change of code. |
25/1 |
|
10th 10 (3) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Front-runner who got off the mark when winning over this C&D (good to firm) in April; runner-up on his next two starts, including here 18 days ago, and he can't be dismissed despite stepping up in class. |

4th May 2026 Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
10st 7lb |
He made a winning handicap debut in June 2024 (7f, good); mixed record since and his Brighton second last September was the only real bright spot in 2025; chance if returning at that level but it is not assured. |
10/1 |
|
5th 8 (12) |
15th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 216y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Sole win was 15 months ago but that was off 7lb higher and he returned to form with a near-miss over C&D last time; has leading claims if he can back that up but best form has been on good/good to firm and it would be a worry if the ground is testing. |
13/2 |
|

1st Sep 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 216y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Began this season with two disappointing efforts but his fourths at Salisbury (7f, good to firm) and Goodwood (1m1f, good) last month were very respectable; drops in grade and features prominently in calculations. |

2nd Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Multiple winner elsewhere and he's 0-4 here; only 2lb higher than for his recent win at Salisbury but his latest run there was disappointing, for all that it was in a Class 5. |
16/1 |
|
5th 6 (2) |
13th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Eight-time winner who likes it here, as evidenced by him winning an amateur riders' handicap (7f) for the second year in succession last time; stays this trip and has to enter calculations. |
4/1 |
|
1st 4 (10) |
21st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 213y Class 6 |

Inconsistent this season but posted one of his better efforts last time; dual winner at Salisbury, including narrowly under Freddy Tett in this race last year; respected off a workable mark. |

2nd Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |

Poor strike-rate, including 0-27 on turf; would need a major pace collapse to win over this trip. |
12/1 |

12th 16 (1) |
23rd Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 215y Class 2 |

Poor strike-rate, including 0-26 on turf; unlikely to be righting that wrong from 5lb out of the weights. |

|
4th 9 (7) |
26th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

0-26 on turf and, while he is likely to give his running, he remains opposable for win purposes. |

14th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Exposed 18-race maiden; usually runs at 7f or 1m and was below par on her only run at 1m2f. |
50/1 |
|
8th 10 (5) |
1st Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
8st 6lb |
Longstanding maiden who's been tried over various trips and in two forms of headgear; one of her better efforts last time but she was probably flattered from the front round Lingfield. |
25/1 |
|
10 (10) |
13th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
16-race maiden; placed at Salisbury (1m; 50-1) on penultimate start but not in the same league as the convincing winner; returns to AW for first time since last October; poorly drawn so safer to focus elsewhere. |
