5th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Won 6f maiden at Windsor in 2024; had some breaks and yard switches since, beating only one rival in two starts for this trainer; cannot enthuse. |
33/1 |
|
11th 11 (2) |
21st Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Sole win was in a maiden in 2024 and he's failed to beat a rival in his last three runs, including on stable debut here (5f, good to soft) 13 days ago; that was after an absence but he was always in the rear after a slow start and is now 1-12. |

9st 11lb |
Finished last in his final two starts for former yard; absent for nine months and he has plenty to prove on his stable debut in a new visor. |

15th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Runner-up at Lingfield (5f, AW) last month but he's taken two backward steps since and losing run is now up to 26; down the list. |
10/1 |

9th 7 (8) |
12th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Runner-up over 5f here 11 days ago, beaten just over 2l; not quite at the same level here (again 5f) on Thursday; return to 6f will suit though. |
4/1 |

10th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Seven-time winner but the last of them was back in May 2025; didn't run badly in a smallf-field C&D handicap nine days ago but more will be required this time. |

4th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Seven-time AW winner and his last success was over C&D last October; should be on a perfectly good mark but hasn't been in the best of form. |
12/1 |
|
7th 2 (10) |
13th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Seven-time AW winner and his last success was over 6f here last October; now 2lb lower than for that win but has a mixed record since and was never involved at Wolverhampton last Monday; comes with risks attached and he needs to raise his game back up in trip; cheekpieces reapplied. |
9/1 |
|
5th 9 (9) |
6th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Enjoyed a purple patch in 2024 when winning six times; landed his third win over C&D last August off this mark; handicapper has given him a chance after two defeats last month; should run well. |

2nd Oct 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
All four wins have been on Polytrack at Lingfield (6f) but she lost her way during the summer and was laboured at her favoured track last month; has something to prove and she needs a major revival back on Tapeta. |
16/1 |
|
6th 4 (5) |
1st Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
C&D record of 13132141 includes wins in this race last year and most recent AW attempt, latter off current mark in March; ran poorly in last two turf starts but commands respect back in this scenario. |

12th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Won twice at Brighton last year; shaped as though the run was needed on last month's seasonal return at Wolverhampton; should have a big run in him. |
5/1 |
|
4th 8 (6) |
26th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Won twice at Brighton in the second half of 2025; ended that campaign with a good second at Lingfield in December but he has been absent since and he'll need a personal best to take this on his return. |
10/1 |

27th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Record of 2-5 since wearing a hood (maiden previously), the wins in Class 6 events at Brighton (about 5f); has to overcome career-high mark back up in trip/grade and returned to AW. |

2nd 3 (1) |
12th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Gained his first handicap win when too strong for nine rivals in a 0-55 over C&D in April; chance if back to that level but well beaten on his last two starts; risky but capable. |
8/1 |
|
9th 7 (7) |
18th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Doubled his winning tally when successful over C&D in April; twice unplaced on turf since and still 5lb higher than for that latest win, but still one for the shortlist returned here. |
6/1 |
|
7th 3 (9) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Sole turf win came in a Lingfield maiden but he won his first AW race in April (6f) and has since run well in a slightly stronger race than this over C&D (good to firm); has other quite solid handicap form at this trip on grass and he should go well under up-and-coming Harry Vigors. |
