27th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Thriving since the cheekpieces went on, scoring at Southwell (1m4f) in February and bettering that form when beaten 1l by Son Of Man over C&D 24 days ago; enjoys a 2lb weights pull now so he's a likely player. |

3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Running well this year, winning at Southwell (1m4f, Tapeta; first-time cheekpieces) in February and going down by a neck in two starts over this C&D either side; up another 1lb, but another big effort is expected. |

1st Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Strong form when runner-up at Kempton (1m4f, AW) in May 2024; lightly raced since and unable to get competitive, most recently in Newmarket handicap (1m1f, good); it's possible he'll still be the main threat to Empirestateofmind, however; wears a first-time visor. |

One-time useful but looking regressive and was tailed off at Windsor (extended 1m3f, soft) on return from an absence; bit to prove now, especially at this trip. |

12th Jun 2026 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Mainly seen on the AW these days, but he did win three times on turf as a 3yo; interesting to see how he fares in the market on debut for Tony Carroll (same owner). |
10/1 |
|
6th 5 (5) |
2nd May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Recorded his tenth win when scoring at Wolverhampton (2m, Tapeta) in January; held his form with creditable efforts in next three starts but his good spell came to a halt at Lingfield last month; has bit to prove again after that heavy defeat and his last turf win was in 2022. |

Three course wins have come over 1m4f, but he has won over this sort of trip elsewhere; finished half a length behind St Faz when third of four at Southwell (1m6f, Tapeta) and now 11lb better off; each-way claims. |

11st 11lb |
3-8 over hurdles for Tom Dascombe (often with forcing tactics) and he won his first two on the Flat once joining this yard; solid fourth of 13 from the rear at Warwick (2m, good to soft; kept on) 11 days ago; respected. |
6/1 |

8th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |

28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Multiple Flat wins at 1m-1m4f, including on heavy; unable to make a significant impact on the Flat last autumn but he's run with credit over hurdles in recent months and is well treated back on the level (6lb below his last winning mark); considered. |
10/1 |

2nd 4 |
9th Feb 2026 Heavy 1m 7f 156y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Multiple Flat wins at 1m-1m4f, including on heavy; switched to hurdling late in the day but he's taken surprisingly well to this game, running two good races at Leicester (extended 1m7f; soft and heavy), and may well improve for this easier stamina test now handicapping; thereabouts. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 11 |
20th Jan 2026 Soft 1m 7f 113y Class 4 |

8-46 on the Flat; left it rather late in the day to launch his hurdling career but went down fighting over C&D (soft) just after Christmas and has a good chance if in similar form again. |

9st 11lb |
Resumed winning ways over 1m3f here in February and in good form since, not seen to ideal effect when fifth of nine in 1m4f Goodwood handicap 19 days ago; she ought to be thereabouts. |

22nd May 2026 Soft 1m 3f 218y Class 3 |

Consistent AW handicapper and a seven-time winner in that sphere; only 1-9 on turf and appears to have a difficult task off current mark, especially in this grade, returned to this sphere. |
16/1 |

3rd 5 (5) |
4th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 3 |

Tough mare who has been in good form on the AW since December (13341333), the wins coming at Southwell (1m4f, Tapeta) and here (1m3f); return to this trip should suit and unlikely to be far away. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Off the mark at the sixth attempt when winning at Southwell (1m4f, AW) in November and left the impression her first start in seven months was needed when fifth at Kempton (1m4f, AW) three weeks ago; unexposed on turf and she's considered. |

Low-mileage 4yo who got off the mark at the sixth attempt in 1m4f handicap at Southwell in November; off since so she needs to hit the ground running on her seasonal return. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Often slowly away but it hasn't prevented her from winning three times on the AW since October (9.4f-1m4f); this trip more suitable than the 1m she tackled at Bath 19 days ago; untried on faster than good. |
8/1 |

8th 4 (8) |
5th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
3-9 since a hood went on, including wins under Ashley Lewis at Wolverhampton (1m4f and 9.4f) on two of her last three starts; unraced over a trip this short since her pre-handicap days and the hood is removed; also unraced on turf since last July and none of her turf form matches this mark. |

23rd Mar 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |

10st 7lb |
Record of ten wins from 34 starts on the AW; goes particularly well here, gaining fourth course success when scoring by 14l over 2m nine days ago; this trip no problem; will be hard to beat with a 5lb penalty. |

28th Jun 2026 Standard 2m 0f 120y Class 6 |

Nine wins on the AW including two over C&D (course record reads 22111544); would have finished closer with a clear run when fifth of eight at Bath (2m1f, good) 15 days ago and very much of interest back here. |

13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 24y Class 6 |

Added another two AW wins to his haul this winter; rated 7lb lower on turf but with some justification given his record on grass, including a heavy C&D defeat in April; not solid. |

3rd 3 (6) |
6th Jul 2026 Good 1m 5f 26y Class 5 |

Gained three of his nine wins over this C&D; disappointing favourite when well-held third of six at Hamilton (1m5f, good to firm) 11 days ago but won over 1m3f there a week earlier and has claims if judged on that form. |
5/1 |

3rd 4 (5) |
25th Jun 2026 Good 1m 5f 16y Class 6 |

8yo who won here (1m3f, good) last Wednesday on his second start back from a break; he'll be fine back up in trip and Kayleigh Williams made a dream start to her riding career when winning on a stablemate this month; strong claims under a 4lb penalty. |
