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. |

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. |

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. |
20/1 |

4th 3 (6) |
17th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Won twice over 6f at Windsor (good to firm) and Chepstow (good) last August; may have needed last month's return at the latter track (7f, good to firm), but this trip looks on the sharp side. |
8/1 |

10th 5 (3) |
29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Dual 6f winner (once here) last summer; also suited by 7f but we haven't seen him since a disappointing AW run in September and he probably doesn't have much margin for error off current mark. |

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. |
8/1 |
|
6 (9) |
4th Nov 2025 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won two of his last three starts, picking up well to land an apprentice handicap over C&D last week; unpenalised and looks to have plenty in his favour. |

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. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 6 (8) |
26th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Runner-up on reappearance at Bath (1m, good) last month then won over C&D (good to firm) before a good second at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm); arrives at the top of his game and he's a strong contender. |

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. |

21st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 213y Class 6 |
10st 13lb |
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. |
5/1 |
|
4th 7 (8) |
8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Has seven wins and usually at his peak in the summer months but below his best at Bath on his last two starts; others preferred. |

8th 7 (7) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Dual C&D winner who traditionally peaks in the summer; showed enough in three runs over 1m round Bath in the spring to suggest he's still up to winning at this level if he gets one of his better starts and the race pans out his way. |

7th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Fair third in a classified over C&D (good to firm) last month but has yet to win on turf with all three wins coming at Wolverhampton; best to leave until he returns to his favoured track. |
20/1 |
|
3rd 6 (6) |
21st Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |

Finished third in this race last year but he isn't arriving in the same form this time around; easy enough to look elsewhere. |

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. |
