6th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Best form for Andrew Balding came on turf, including wins at Brighton (6f, good to firm) and Epsom (7f, good to soft) last year; makes stable debut after 190 days off having changed hands for 50,000gns in October; market informative. |

Recorded a game success in Brighton maiden (6f) in June; neck second, clear of remainder, upped to 7f at Chester (good) most recently; this 3yo filly may do better still and is one to consider. |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
All his wins have been over 7f but there's been only one of those (Epsom last August) in very nearly two years now; still paying for the ease of that win in a seven-runner race, so others are preferred. |

27th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Found 1m stretching him on his comeback from five months off and is entitled to improve, back in the cheekpieces last sported last July; still paying the price for his easy Epsom win last August, though, and there's not much wiggle room off this mark. |
5/1 |

Scored at Epsom (7f) last August and proved largely reliable in 2025; this course scorer goes well fresh too so not out of things. |

27th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 96y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
On a 16-race losing run but down the weights as a result and he was on the heels of the winner when third of 12 at Thirsk (7f) 11 days ago; having his first race here; thereabouts if he takes to it. |
9/2 |

3rd 14 (3) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
8st 8lb |
On a 15-race losing run but he's well handicapped as a result and his stable is in fine form; almost certainly needed the run when seventh of 13 over C&D four weeks ago, fading; likely to build on that and more persuasive than most. |
12/1 |

7th 11 (3) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Failed to win in 2025 but he ran some solid races in defeat and he makes his seasonal return off a dangerous mark; interesting to see how he fares in the betting. |

16th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Kept fairly busy in the last 12 months and he supplemented a 6f Windsor (good) win in September by scoring over 7f at Yarmouth (good to soft) in October and at Chelmsford (AW) in December; respectable efforts on both starts last month and Oisin Murphy takes over for the first time. |
12/1 |

5th 5 (4) |
28th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
He has turned in a string of good efforts since winning at Windsor last September; close second off this mark at Newcastle on New Year's Day (6f); no obvious reason why he wouldn't make another bold bid. |

Flurry of turf and Polytrack wins last autumn and winter included two at 7f; nearly got there in time dropped to 6f for his sole previous visit here in January, and this would be easier than that 0-105; shortlisted. |

9th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Off the mark at the ninth attempt when winning a 6f novice at Lingfield (AW) in December; upped 4lb for that but he is unexposed as a sprinter and he makes more appeal than many. |
8/1 |

23rd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |

Six-race maiden; hasn't progressed on turf but posted his peak performance when second over C&D in June (last AW attempt); interesting off current mark returned to this scenario. |

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. |
