20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
11-time winner, with five on turf and six on AW; his last success was off 2lb higher at Southwell in March but he's struggled since and needs to get back on track. |

8th 12 (8) |
7th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |

Conditions to suit and he is on a winning mark but it has been a long time since he won above Class 6 company; others are stronger. |

25th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Came from off the pace when winning at Southwell (7f, AW) in March but he's been below that level in three starts since; all five wins on turf have been at Brighton and others have stronger claims. |

28th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Course regular; his latest third (8.6f) was a remote one behind an easy winner but it was still a creditable effort; no sign of age denting his enthusiasm and he should make another bold bid. |
8/1 |

3rd 5 (7) |
16th Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Three wins here in the winter to take his course tally to 11 but he's rather lost the plot since and doesn't often go beyond 7f these days; needs a revival. |

18th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Competitive on the Flat and over hurdles for Tim Vaughan since the autumn but was not at her best on latest appearance 18 days ago and others in this line-up have much stronger claims. |

31st May 2025 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Fairly consistent (albeit without winning) on the Flat and over hurdles for Tim Vaughan since the autumn; dropped another 1lb since this month's Ffos Las fourth (2m, good); could have a say in this. |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has plenty of form over C&D including two wins; losing run up to 18, but he has never raced down at this level before so can't be dismissed by any means; stable also runs Sorted. |
5/1 |
|
6th 2 (4) |
13th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Has done all his winning at about 1m, including four times at Bath; has bits of 1m2f form but doesn't look the percentage call; losing run is mounting up. |
8/1 |
|
5th 6 (2) |
4th May 2026 Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
10st 9lb |
Four C&D wins on good or slower (handles good to firm, not at best in one run on firm); not at his best this year but that is reflected in his much-reduced mark; risky but not impossible. |

10th Nov 2022 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Has won twice since joining Mick Appleby in July and was a good second over C&D last month; only 1lb higher here but his form slumped at Newcastle last time and he needs to bounce back after that. |

17th Jul 2023 Soft 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Defied a 10lb higher mark at this course (1m, good) last August; placed effort in 0-50 classified event here (1m, good to soft) eight days ago is inferior form; however, well treated if raising her game. |
10/1 |

3rd 4 (8) |
9th Jul 2023 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Her form has gone the wrong way this year and she's been well beaten at Musselburgh the last twice; however, she doesn't have a good record there whereas she's run several good races here, including when fourth of six over C&D as recently as May; could play a major role now back here. |

29-race maiden; her best form for previous stable came over 7f (unraced over shorter) but she's been tailed off in two runs for Paul Midgley; something to prove. |
