13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Six-time winner, the latest coming at Bath (1m, good) in April off a 2lb lower mark; had an excuse when below his best at Thirsk and bounced back to form when third of seven behind Jack Sparowe at Yarmouth (1m2f, good) 24 days ago; could go well. |
13/2 |
|
3rd 1 (8) |
20th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 23y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
His good run of form ground to a halt at Thirsk last time but he can be given a pass as he was tight for room at a crucial stage; Billy Loughnane back on board today and his record for him reads 4111; one to take seriously. |
4/1 |

8th 2 (4) |
2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
He had dropped a long way in the weights prior to his Wolverhampton win on Boxing Day; added further wins at Wolverhampton (twice) and Bath (1m, good) since; similar form when fourth at Nottingham two weeks ago (1m2f, good); shouldn't be far away if the ground is deemed suitable (untried on faster than good). |

26th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Seems to run best when fresh and hasn't built on his second at Bath in April (1m, good); reservations in the new headgear. |
25/1 |
|
8th 5 (4) |
13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Seems best when fresh and duly ran well (close second) at Bath on seasonal debut; appeared to be a disappointing favourite at Epsom later in April but that effort is excusable with the race likely coming sooner than ideal; only attempt under Tom Marquand resulted in sole win (off current mark to boot); respected on return from 11-week break. |
13/2 |
|
7th 8 (6) |
28th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 113y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Returned from seven months off to win this race from off the pace last year; couldn't build on that in four subsequent starts last season but was back down to that winning mark when slightly unlucky second at Bath (1m, also good) on his resumption three weeks ago; of firm interest. |

5th Oct 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |

Goes well round here and showed a good attitude when gaining a second C&D victory in 12-runner handicap 20 days ago; not taken lightly despite a 4lb rise. |
7/2 |
|
1st 3 (5) |
15th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Usually apprentice ridden; Wolverhampton isn't the only place he's run well but he has a solid record here, including two of his three wins, and should be in the shake-up. |
13/2 |
|
4th 7 (1) |
30th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Two of his three wins have come here (9.5f/7f), the latest in March; ran with credit when fourth of ten at Lingfield (7f, Polytrack) last time and he makes the shortlist. |

21st Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Exposed 19-race maiden; placed over C&D (hooded first time) 11 weeks ago and has run well after a break in the past; still looks vulnerable for win purposes though. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 6 (9) |
7th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
0-18 and his record is a patchy one; below par at Salisbury last month and the change of headgear isn't enough to tempt. |
14/1 |

9th 3 (9) |
14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Still a maiden after 17 starts but scores good marks for consistency; runner-up in first-time visor (retained) at Windsor (1m, good to firm) last month and ought to be on the premises again here. |

10st 0lb |
Won twice in a row at Chepstow (1m2f, good to firm) before completing the hat-trick when dead-heating at Brighton (1m2f, good to firm); he's 5lb higher than last time but remains well treated on his old form; respected. |
11/2 |
|
1st 3 (1) |
24th Aug 2026 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Decent 3yo who's enjoyed a revival round Chepstow of late, beating a subsequent winner off 7lb lower last month before following up a fortnight ago; every chance of completing the hat-trick. |
3/1 |
|
1st 4 (5) |
9th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |

Prevailed by 1l in C&D contest (good to firm) last month on only his fourth start for current yard; back up only 3lb he remains attractively handicapped on 3yo form; respected. |

31st May 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Low-mileage 4yo who arrives in good form, third of seven in 1m4f handicap at Doncaster 15 days ago; not out of things in his bid for a maiden victory. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 3 (3) |
16th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 197y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Form figures of 323 in maiden/novice events but he's been well held in four handicaps; may have had stamina issues over 2m at Lingfield (AW) last month but he needs to raise his game on this big drop back in trip. |
7/2 |
|
4th 2 (5) |
27th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Low-mileage 4yo; safely held in first three handicaps (1m-1m2f) but this big hike up in trip is an interesting move; cheekpieces removed after one use; well worth a glance in the bettting. |

9st 8lb |
Runner-up in 1m handicaps at Sandown and Bath on her last two starts but beaten a respectable distance on both occasions; will need more if she is to come out on top off the same mark. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 5 (9) |
13th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Dual winner but has yet to win this season and does need to raise her game despite recent placed efforts, as didn't really threaten to win any of those. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 3 (6) |
28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Acts on good to firm and heavy ground; yet to win this season but she was a good third at Salisbury (1m, good) in June and filled the same position behind a big improver at Lingfield (1m, AW) last time; continues to edge down the weights and she's in the mix back on turf. |

Gained a second success of 2026 here over C&D in March; second run back from a five-month layoff when a solid fourth of seven over C&D 17 days ago and she's not out of things eased 1lb. |

18th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |

9st 12lb |
Two-time C&D winner, including the corresponding race in 2022; no win in 2026 but he ran well for second in a stronger C&D handicap 17 days ago (Gone Rogue back in sixth); won't be far away if returning in the same form. |

2nd 9 (9) |
28th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 216y Class 5 |

Ran no race at Salisbury last time in a handicap he had won the previous year; had been in good form prior to that and couldn't dismiss; third in this 12 months ago. |
8/1 |

5th 3 (3) |
21st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

10st 0lb |
All five wins at 6f-1m, the latest at Doncaster in March 2024 off 20lb lower and now on a career-low mark; has dwelt at the start on his last two runs and first-time blinkers worn last time are retained; cannot discount but losing run is offputting. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 2 (2) |
5th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Course winner at 7f who won the Spring Mile on turf in 2024; winless since but there were some flickers of life this summer before he faded at Chepstow 18 days ago; on a handy mark now and he might be more effective back on this track with first-time blinkers replacing cheekpieces. |
8/1 |
|
6th 2 (8) |
18th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has done his winning at trips between 6f and 1m; losing run goes back to March 2024 but, following a spell in the doldrums for previous yard and this one, he's been back in better form of late, doing some good late work on the AW at Kempton (1m) and Wolverhampton (about 1m1f); can be involved with Tom Marquand up for the first time |

Only 1-26; had lost his way but back to form with two seconds, latterly behind Rating at Chepstow (1m, good to firm); should feature and has run well in the reapplied blinkers (replacing cheekpieces). |

2nd 5 (1) |
18th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Broke duck at Yarmouth (1m2f, good to firm) in May 2025 and some good efforts in defeat followed later in the year; however, it's been a slow process recapturing form for new yard and was well held when second of five back at Yarmouth recently; no good thing to take advantage of a tempting mark. |
