29th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Eight wins here including three over this trip; back off the same mark as when successful here in April, but whether she will be at her sharpest after four months off remains to be seen. |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |

Has enjoyed a good year with four wins, two of them over C&D; last two efforts leave her with a bit to prove, though. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Hardy mare who landed four races on AW (1m to 9.5f) between February and April; also a previous four-time winner on turf but this is just her second crack at 1m2f on her 111th start; still not discounted. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 3f 179y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Three-time winner, the most recent coming at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW) in November; runner-up there over 9.5f in April but he was well beaten at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) three weeks ago and needs to bounce back. |
16/1 |

23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Good run of turf form last summer included when making all at Yarmouth (1m2f, good to soft; acts on quicker) in July; mostly creditable efforts on AW since winning at Wolverhampton (1m4f) in November and he's far from ruled out back on grass despite tricky stall. |

30th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Winless since 2024 and is having his first run on turf in three years; down to a career-low mark and has been in fair form in blinkers, but he's regressive and has returned three poor efforts in turf handicaps. |
4/1 |

5th 7 (1) |
11th May 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |

Dual C&D winner who's been brightened up by the blinkers of late without having the breaks; a slow start cost him here a month ago and he's one to consider. |

13th Sep 2026 Good 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Ended losing streak in Lingfiield classified (1m2f, AW; first-time visor) in January but has not been in the same form again since and was only seventh in race won by Kev over that C&D last month. |

27th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

Ended a losing run in a similar event over C&D in January (visored first time); she has found it tougher going since and she needs to leave her latest run well behind her. |

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 |

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 |

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. |

Yet to offer much in his eight runs to date; beaten 13l at Leicester (1m2f, good to firm) last month; wears first-time blinkers but not easy to warm to. |

1-17 on the AW, the win coming in a similar contest to this at Chelmsford (1m2f) last August; hard to know how she will cope on her belated turf debut, though. |

7th 8 (5) |
9th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |

Sole win from 16 starts came in a classified event at Chelmsford (1m2f, AW) last August; solid fifth of eight in a C&D classified event 23 days ago but better is needed back in a handicap. |

17th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |

Inconsistent mare who's been off since losing her action behind Al Shabab over C&D in January; could well be all or nothing again, and others are more reliable. |

2nd Oct 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Made all over C&D just over a year ago and added to his tally at Pontefract (1m, good) in June; returns here after respectable fourth in refitted cheekpieces on soft ground last month but might remain vulnerable off current mark. |

21st Sep 2026 Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 6 |

Pontefract winner in June (1m, good); below-par both runs since; soft ground probably not ideal but could get the run of the race and is one to consider. |

7th 9 (8) |
5th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |

Had a fitness query when below best on reappearance here in March but he acts well here and was a ready winner over 1m2f last September; best form of the year when taking a Pontefract handicap (1m) in June but out of sorts on only subsequent run. |

5th 5 (2) |
2nd Oct 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Didn't see out 1m6f at Wolverhampton last month but posted career-best performance when winning by over 4l at Leicester (1m2f, good to soft) a few days earlier and is also suited by Tapeta; enters calculations. |
8/1 |
|
7th 4 (7) |
15th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Two wins this year, at Newcastle (1m, Tapeta) in June and a comfortable success at Leicester (1m2f apprentice event, good to soft) a week ago; races off the same mark as last time and although yet to race over this far, being by Sixties Icon raises hope. |
