29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Slightly disappointing when well-held fourth on this month's turf return at Bath (1m), but was in good form on AW beforehand (7f-8.6f) and is well suited by this C&D; no surprise if he features. |

4th May 2026 Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

On a fair mark and the trip, track and ground should all be fine; arrives on the back of some fair AW runs; each-way claims again. |

27th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
10st 10lb |
Has run with credit since winning at Chepstow (7f, good to firm) last July but is a victim of his own consistency and probably needs to drop a couple of pounds before finding another opening. |

Multiple winner over 7f-1m, including on soft; made the frame over C&D last month but losing run is mounting up and has performed poorly the last twice. |

2nd 9 (5) |
1st Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Two 1m wins on AW this spring, in a Lingfield classified event and a Kempton handicap; just respectable efforts in the meantime (slightly hampered at Bath recently) but she had excuses when last tried over 7f and might yet do better at this trip. |
10/1 |

6th 9 (5) |
22nd May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Won off 4lb lower at Kempton (1m, Polytrack) in March but she's been well held at Nottingham and Lingfield in her last two runs; has bit to prove again and she's now 0-8 on turf. |
25/1 |

5th 5 (1) |
20th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
10st 13lb |
In excellent form for her new yard on the AW this winter, scoring over C&D and at Kempton (1m); only ninth back on turf in 1m Nottingham handicap last time but no surprise to see her bounce back here. |

20th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
C&D winner for Mick Appleby; improved run by run for her new stable, successful in a Ffos Las handicap three weeks ago (7.4f, heavy); 3lb rise manageable but this looks a deeper event. |
8/1 |
|
5 (2) |
28th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 7f 80y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Built upon low-key stable debut when third of six at Chepstow (7f, soft) this month; won't be far away if in similar form again here but modest 1-18 strike-rate reduces her appeal. |
8/1 |
|
1 (3) |
2nd Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Sole success came when trained by Michael Appleby in January (7f, AW); two moderate runs for Harry Eustace in June and subsequently sold for 2,200gns; headgear removed when sixth of nine on stable debut here (6f, good) last month and she needs to show more. |

22nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Versatile sort who won three times last year including at Leicester (1m, good to firm) and over C&D (heavy); now 2lb lower than for her AW win in December but things have not gone well in two runs this season; got hampered by a faller when pulled up at Lingfield on Tuesday but she needs a major revival back at this track; yard also runs Neptune Legend. |
14/1 |
|
2 (12) |
19th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 135y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won at Bath (5.5f, heavy) and Kempton (6f, AW) last year, but she beat only one rival home at Kempton last month following a 63-day break; has won over 1m so this step back up in trip will be no issue, and she won't be inconvenienced by any rain. |

17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
8st 5lb |
Some fair efforts on AW during the winter and he hit the frame plenty of times on turf last year; hard to rule out a good run after a short break but he's not won since 2023 and others are preferred. |
12/1 |
|
4th 2 (4) |
10th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |

Remains capable of picking up occasional prize-money and hit the frame plenty of times last year; however, his losing sequence continues to grow. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
8st 4lb |
Still a maiden after 29 starts but bettered low-key seasonal debut when close second from out of the weights over C&D (good to soft) last week and is effectively 4lb lower today; also suited by faster ground; obvious contender if in similar form. |
11/4 |
|
2nd 12 (6) |
21st May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 16y Class 5 |
8st 4lb |
Runner-up twice here (including 7f) last year but he's still a maiden after 28 starts; well-held fifth on 1m Bath reappearance five weeks ago and it's likely the wait for a first win will go on. |
14/1 |
