23rd Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 215y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Three turf wins (fast ground) since rejoining Tony Carroll, one of them coming over C&D; up in the weights as a result and the recent rain will suit others more. |
12/1 |

6th 7 (1) |
23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Hold-up performer who won two in a row in May (5.7f/6f, good to firm) before keeping on for fifth of 13 at Windsor (5f, good to firm), and he was back on the scoresheet at Bath (5.7f, firm) three weeks ago; the return to a bare 5f may not be ideal but the stiff track compensates; respected. |
11/4 |

1st 1 (1) |
1st Jul 2026 Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |

Returned to Tony Carroll and left a couple of quiet AW runs behind when scoring over C&D (beat She Went Whoosh by nearly 3l) and at Brighton (6f) in May; came up short in hat-trick bid at Windsor on Monday but was out of his comfort zone early over the bare 5f before plugging on into fifth; not dismissed if turned out quickly. |

8st 9lb |
1-38, the win gained over 5f at Lingfield (AW) in spring 2025; came second off her basement mark at Bath (5.7f, good to firm) in May but recent efforts have been disappointing. |
33/1 |

9th 8 (1) |
17th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |

Sole win from 37 starts came on the AW at Lingfield (5f) last April; runner-up at Bath (5.7f, good to firm) in May but she's struggled in four starts since; stablemate of Megaphone. |

9st 0lb |
Doubled his winning tally when beating four rivals (including Too Much Trevor) over C&D (good to firm) 16 days ago; only 2lb higher and may be the one to capitalise if Prefer The Sister runs below form. |
6/1 |
|
1st 3 (3) |
8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
1-26 but generally consistent; didn't show any obvious improvement in first-time cheekpieces (retained) when third here (6f, good to firm) 11 days ago and likely to be competing for minor honours. |
2/1 |
|
3rd 1 (4) |
27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
1-25 but he went close over 7f at Wolverhampton in March and his Bath third last month (5.7f, good to firm) was another sound effort; should remain competitive with first-time cheekpieces added. |

24th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Beaten-favourite in five of his last six starts, latterly behind Thanks Dad at Yarmouth, and has tended to pull hard/not see it out in a few starts at beyond sprint trips; capable off this mark but is still a maiden and comes with risks attached. |
6/1 |
|
4th 2 (8) |
14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Still to score but he's a reliable type and comes here after a good second of eight in 5.5f classified event at Brighton in June; recent cheekpieces are left off here (just hooded) and he can go well after a break. |
9/4 |
|
5 (13) |
21st Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |

12-race maiden; track and ground no concern and he was running on well when second over 5.3f here 12 days ago; has been placed over 7f but others may see it out better. |

2nd Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |

Made a winning seasonal return as a 3yo (6f, good to firm) but there hasn't been a lot to cheer since; others have more pressing claims. |

10th 17 (14) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |

8th 4 (3) |
31st Jul 2026 Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Made quite encouraging seasonal debut in C&D handicap (good to firm; first-time cheekpieces) in May but has not built on that on either start since, and was behind Jackie Brown when fifth in this grade at Nottingham (5f, good to firm) a fortnight ago. |

Has a better strike-rate on the AW and his last turf win was over two years ago; finished well when runner-up at Catterick (5f, good) in May but he's been quiet since and reared at the start when down the field at Ayr last time; others preferred. |

12/1 |

7th 2 (5) |
22nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Tapeta specialist but he's hung right before finishing a well-held fifth at Wolverhampton (5f) in his last two starts; continues to edge down the weights but he's 0-13 on turf and has not run in this sphere since last May; others preferred. |
11/2 |

5th 7 (7) |
21st Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |

Four C&D wins (from marks in the 60s); excuses when a closing third over C&D on penultimate start; hung right when three places (over 4l) behind Shalaa Asker subsequently; has won for Kieran O'Neill but needs everything to drop his way. |

Back in better form (over 5f/5.5f) this month, winning AW classified event then solid second (behind a rival who was on the middle leg of hat-trick) in Wetherby handicap; has won over 6f; 0-14 on turf but holds a fighting chance. |

Unplaced all seven starts; outran 50-1 odds when respectable fifth of 14 in Bath handicap (5f, good) in June and was denied clear run when filling same position in Chepstow classified (5f, good to firm) last month but others appeal more all the same. |

9st 9lb |
Hampered by faller and pulled up at Lingfield in May, and withdrawn here three days later when jockey had concerns over how filly was moving and was not prepared to ride; however, she was just 7-2 at the time of withdrawal and this C&D winner is capable of playing a leading role off her last winning mark. |

22nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Versatile sort who won three times last year including at Leicester (1m, good to firm) and over C&D (heavy); now 2lb lower than for her AW win in December but things have not gone well in two runs this season; got hampered by a faller when pulled up at Lingfield on Tuesday but she needs a major revival back at this track; yard also runs Neptune Legend. |
14/1 |
|
2 (12) |
19th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 135y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won at Bath (5.5f, heavy) and Kempton (6f, AW) last year, but she beat only one rival home at Kempton last month following a 63-day break; has won over 1m so this step back up in trip will be no issue, and she won't be inconvenienced by any rain. |
