8th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Notched a first success in over two years in 7f handicap at Lingfield last month; needs to back it up off a 5lb higher mark here in a change of headgear. |

Denied clear run before keeping on to snatch respectable fourth over C&D (good) last month but remains without a win since 2024 and is not the percentage call. |

2nd 6 (8) |
6th Jun 2026 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Largely in good form in cheekpieces for new stable this year and was an emphatic course winner (7.6f, good; previously ran well on good to soft) on latest outing 18 days ago; 6lb higher now but still taken very seriously. |
8/11 |

1st 11 (9) |
19th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 135y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Sole win from 14 starts came in Jersey (1m, firm) last summer; four races for this yard, back to form when only just denied in 16-runner race at Doncaster (7f, good to soft) three days ago; hung left on that occasion and rider briefly stopped riding, but this 4yo has solid claims today. |

27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 135y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Trainer won with three of his last five runners coming into today, all three doing it easily, two at big prices; this triple AW winner has shown enough since returned to turf to suggest he can be a factor at this level. |
11/4 |
|
5th 7 (5) |
13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Has run some fair races in defeat for his new stable but he is essentially regressive; surprising if there weren't a few stronger in today's field. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 7 (6) |
6th Jun 2026 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Three-time AW winner; 0-5 for new stable since February but put in a good front-running shift before fading into fourth behind No Gain here (7.6f, good) last month; each-way claims if handing the forecast slower ground. |

15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Lightly raced maiden who missed a chunk of her career; has not always looked straightforward, hanging badly left throughout last time (7f) having made most of the running; has the option of going far side from stall 3 and it could well be all or nothing. |
16/1 |
|
4th 4 (9) |
6th Jun 2026 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Six-race maiden; set good pace and belied 66-1 odds when fourth in Southwell maiden (6f, AW) in April, after a long layoff, but was well beaten in a recent Bath handicap (5.7f, good to firm); back up in trip here; remains tricky to weigh up. |
20/1 |
|
12th 1 (4) |
22nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Unexposed 5yo who returned after 485 days off with a front-running fourth of 13 in a Southwell maiden (6f, AW; 66-1) last month; carried her head awkwardly in the closing stages but that was a promising effort and she needs a close look back in a handicap. |

6th Jun 2026 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Led close home off today's mark here (7f, AW) in December but was below that form on all three AW starts since and is not yet proven on turf; others have more obvious claims. |
11/1 |
|
5th 4 (1) |
13th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Off the mark with a last-gasp success in a 0-60 at Lingfield in December (7f); two lesser efforts have followed, including C&D, and he looks up against it once more. |
14/1 |
|
11 (10) |
18th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Yet to build on his promising debut second (7f, Polytrack); neither handicap run suggests he is the answer here. |

6th Jun 2026 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Out of form on AW when last seen in January/February but ought to cope well if the ground remains soft and is well drawn to seize the favoured nearside rail; worth a second look. |

13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Left Andrew Balding's yard (still runs in his colours) after two encouraging runs in early 2025; poor form this year and opposable despite his basement mark. |
33/1 |
|
7th 9 (3) |
6th Jun 2026 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Seven-race maiden; had excuse when well-beaten 50-1 shot on last month's stable debut (saddle slipped) but his headstrong tendencies remains a serious worry. |
33/1 |
|
9th 7 (1) |
6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Unexposed 4yo but he's generally struggled so far and was tailed off in a C&D handicap (40-1) in March; dropped another 5lb but he's with another new yard now and has plenty to prove; first-time hood replaces cheekpieces. |

6th Jun 2026 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Rarely runs on turf but was close third at Chepstow (6f, good to firm) just under a year ago; returned from break with encouraging run at Southwell (7f, AW) in April, keeping on from a long way off the pace for sixth, and has possibilities if coping with the forecast slow ground. |
12/1 |
|
6th 11 (11) |
28th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Gained all four wins on Polytrack, the latest last May; returned from break with poor run in December and has wide draw for this first start since; others have much stronger claims. |
14/1 |
|
9 (9) |
16th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
Four-time AW winner, most recently at Chelmsford (7f) last month; recent 3lb rise does not look excessive but this will be just his second run in a sprint and his third run on turf; others look safer. |
13/2 |
