29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Third run back with Tony Carroll when taking advantage of his reduced mark at Bath (5.7f) last Friday and he did it in good style; that gives him a big chance under just a 4lb penalty but he's run with credit at Brighton only once from eight visits. |
9/4 |
|
1st 6 (7) |
22nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Hasn't threatened in two AW runs for new yard this spring but he's now 6lb lower than for his last win in November and two of his three turf wins have come over C&D (good to firm); should get a good tow into this race and he's in the mix back at this track. |
6/1 |

Only gone whoosh once, when winning a Polytrack handicap for Richard Hannon last spring; regressed since, often from the front, but holds claims on her latest turf second to a subsequent winner. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 11 (2) |
22nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |

Just one win from her 32 starts and recent efforts on AW and turf don't suggest she is primed to double her tally; down the list. |

22nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Just one win from 24 starts but that was off 9lb higher at Brighton (5.3f, good) last spring; losing run is up to 13 but he's run some solid races on AW this year including when runner-up at Wolverhampton (7f) in March; seems tactically versatile and he's an interesting contender back in trip after a short break. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 3 (5) |
23rd Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Well handicapped on his best form last year and he ran into some trouble in the closing stages when a creditable fifth at Kempton (6f) last time; hard to rule out another good run but he still has something to prove at this trip and is 0-10 on AW. |
6/1 |
|
5th 3 (10) |
4th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

5.2f turf winner (good); has slipped to a competitive mark and if able to return to last autumn's Wolverhampton form, he'd be thereabouts. |

22nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Ten-race maiden who can take a strong hold but he finished well when runner-up over C&D (heavy) last autumn; returns after five months but he's handicapped on his best form and has had only three runs for current yard; needs a close look with hood added. |
5/1 |

30th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
0-7 for Peter Crate but he reached the frame in three handicaps including when a close fourth at Lingfield (6f, AW) last month; still has bit to prove on slow ground but he needs watching in market on stable debut; yard also runs Bated Breeze. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 18y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
C&D winner on stable debut last April (good to firm) but quiet at the end of 2025; fair fifth of 12 at Bath (5.5f, good to firm; first-time cheekpieces replaced blinkers) on reappearance; needs to build on that. |
9/1 |
|
5th 8 (4) |
22nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Won stable debut at Nottingham last April (6f, good to firm) but she's gone the wrong way since and was a well-held eighth in her final two runs last year; has something to prove but she's on a reduced mark and her win came after a similar-length absence; first-time cheekpieces. |
16/1 |
|
2 (10) |
29th Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |

9st 1lb |
Nine-time winner who has not scored since September 2024 but he finished well to go close at Catterick (5f, good) last week; looks interesting off same mark and this step back up in trip is a positive. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 7 (4) |
11th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Three-time turf winner who went close at Newcastle (5f, AW) last September and races off 7lb lower today; however, last season ended tamely and this 9yo finished down the field on last month's reappearance. |
7/1 |
|
12th 9 (10) |
24th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Veteran with a better record on AW than turf; 5f on fast ground no problem for him and he has run well after an absence in the past (although not last year); good run wouldn't be a surprise but others appeal more for win purposes. |

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 |
8st 6lb |
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. |
12/1 |
|
5th 7 (4) |
4th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |

Not straightforward (hangs right) but these conditions suit him well and he wasn't beaten far into third here two weeks ago; one of two contenders for Scott Dixon. |

1st Jun 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Not as good since missing more than a year, does most racing over 6f and will always come with risks, given a propensity to blow the start and/or pull hard; this is easier down to 0-50 company for the first time, though, and he's capable if it falls right. |
8/1 |
|
8th 5 (8) |
22nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Hold-up performer who scored at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) in January but he's not hit the same level since and has finished eighth in his three runs (Tapeta/turf); on dangerous mark but he has something to prove and slow starts can be an issue. |

Very lightly raced 6yo but he's struggled at big prices in all of his runs including on handicap debut at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) in November; now switches to turf but he needs a transformation after six months off. |

7th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |

7th 2 (4) |
16th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |

Winless since her 2yo days and has had plenty of chances at a similarly low level for this yard in recent times; finished behind three of these over C&D five weeks ago and is lowest rated by a good few pounds; will do well to finish placed. |

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. |

19th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 135y Class 6 |

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. |
