2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Won three times on the Lingfield Polytrack (7f/1m) during the winter and just 1lb higher than for the latest, but not at his best lately; others more solid. |

20th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |

Three wins at Lingfield (7f-1m) over the winter; his form has cooled more recently and he returns to turf (well held in one attempt) with a point to prove; can blow the start. |

Three-time course winner (7f-1m) during the winter; 1lb lower than when second over C&D in February but needs to up his game after a couple of quiet runs. |

4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Belatedly opened account with clear win at Bath (1m, good) in April, her 18th start, and rebounded from lesser effort when second at Nottingham (8.3f, good to soft) last month; has a tendency to race too freely, so this drop back in trip could be a good move; others have more potential, though. |

2nd 4 (8) |
19th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |

Heavy defeat last time took her AW record to 0-15; opened her account with comfortable win at Bath (1m) earlier in April and remains unexposed on turf; not ruled out. |
20/1 |

11th 5 (11) |
27th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
11st 2lb |
Placed on four of her last five AW starts before getting off the mark at the 18th attempt back on turf at Bath (1m, good) 22 days ago; back up 7lb but she should remain competitive without looking an obvious one to follow up. |

0-23 and after going close in a Lingfield classified in February he's been way off that in three subsequent starts, including when tailed off last time. |

11th 8 (8) |
29th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |

Frustrating type (0-22 overall; 0-15 for Tony Carroll) and the fitting of a hood (retained here) saw no upturn at Kempton five weeks ago. |
20/1 |

8th 7 (5) |
25th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
21-race maiden; returned to form with a close second in classified event at Lingfield (1m) last month but he failed to back that up at Wolverhampton two weeks ago; hood is now added and he needs to bounce back again after that last run. |

18th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 68y Class 6 |

Course winner who's finished behind Balgowan on the AW here the last twice; closely matched with his old rival on revised terms and looks set to go well again. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 6 (3) |
27th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Yet to add to his 1m1f turf win here in 2024 but went close over 1m4f here (AW) in February and also ran well when fifth (just behind Balgowan) over C&D last month; probably won't be far away. |
10/1 |

5th 6 (7) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 6 |

Beaten just a head over 1m4f here last month on his last Flat start and he ran well over 2m on turf here last July; didn't perform badly back over hurdles last week; might not be far away now reverting to the Flat. |

20th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
All five wins have been on turf, rattling up a three-timer in October 2024; it's been downhill since and while cheekpieces replace usual blinkers, he makes little appeal here. |
25/1 |

5th 6 (2) |
28th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |

Finished second here just before Christmas but over 6f; struggled since, including over C&D latest; Sedgemoor is the more obvious of the stable pair. |

19th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 135y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
13-race maiden (Flat/hurdles) who has yet to be placed, but it was a respectable run when fourth of nine at Kempton (1m, AW) 55 days ago; struggled in her two starts on Flat turf. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Four wins include one over C&D (good) in May 2024; hasn't scored since August of that year but he's now 20lb lower and latest fourth of 13 at Doncaster (7f, good to soft) was a solid effort despite hanging; should enhance creditable Brighton form figures of 21424. |

4th 13 (3) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |

0-30 on AW but he's won four times on turf (7f); struggled during the winter but he returned to this scene with a respectable effort at Yarmouth (6f, good) last month; should benefit from that run and he's in the mix on this step back up in trip; cheekpieces reapplied. |
