1st 4 (10) |
14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 201y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Four-race maiden whose form dipped in 1m AW contest on stable/handicap debut when last seen; 33-1 that day and the betting may again give some guidance. |
20/1 |
|
8th 7 (6) |
6th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Ran well in the last two of her three starts for Paul Attwater (including on Polytrack) and now makes her handicap debut after 195 days off; market should be revealing; yard also runs Greatbritishdream. |
9/1 |
|
9 (4) |
23rd Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Both starts last month, stepping up from her debut when beaten a neck at Ffos Las (1m, soft) last month; both of her siblings and her dam won on the AW and every chance of going one better if continuing her progress. |

14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 201y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Maiden who had a reasonably solid record last term but proved far less consistent this year; otherwise capable of taking a serious hand, provided he turns up in good form. |
8/1 |
|
7th 9 (12) |
10th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
12-race maiden; had a near miss dropped into Class 5 company at Lingfield in April (1m2f); fair run on turf last month despite finishing last of the four runners; each-way shout. |
8/1 |
|
4th 1 (2) |
12th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 37y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
11-race maiden who returned to form with a near-miss over 1m2f on the AW 14 days ago, despite being slow to break; first-time headgear might do something for him; effective on grass. |

3rd 8 (4) |
14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 201y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Returns to her optimum trip, having looked a non-stayer over 1m4f last time; likely player on the pick of her 1m2f form, namely two wins (2024/2025) and a creditable second (last autumn). |
8/1 |
|
4th 1 (6) |
4th Jun 2026 Good 1m 3f 209y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Effective on good and heavy; quiet comeback run and she can be inconsistent, but she's a dual winner on a fair mark and very capable at this level. |
3/1 |
|
6th 10 (8) |
8th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 4 |
8st 7lb |
Has patchy profile but she scored at Windsor (1m2f, good) last September and ended last season with a good second in the mud at Bath; returns after 160 days off but her first win was after a break and she's only 3lb higher than for her last success; one to keep an eye on. |

14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 201y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Gained back-to-back wins over 1m2f last summer; best effort since when close second on the turf course at Lingfield (11.5f) on reappearance, showing he retains ability aged nine; may remain competitive. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 5 (3) |
19th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 133y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Won at Ffos Las (1m2f, good to soft) and Sandown (1m2f, good) last summer, but he wasn't able to build on those victories in three subsequent starts; absent since October but has place claims on this reappearance. |

14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 201y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Record of 0-7 for current yard but he went down by only a neck in first-time blinkers at Nottingham (1m2f, good) most recently; still well treated on historical data; possibilities in the retained headgear. |
9/4 |
|
2nd 7 (7) |
3rd Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Dual winner for Jane Chapple-Hyam but has been quite disappointing since the latest of those wins; held in two starts since undergoing wind surgery and blinkers are now tried instead of cheekpieces; down another 3lb. |
12/1 |
|
6th 1 (3) |
18th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won his first two handicaps as a 3yo but has regressed for two yards since; held on his AW comeback from wind surgery three weeks ago but is entitled to come on for that and this is weaker in second-time cheekpieces. |

14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 201y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Ex-French 5yo who is far from solid on his British form (Flat/hurdles) and remains best watched unless the market suggests a resurgence is on the way. |
25/1 |
|
3 (4) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 11y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Won in France at two; modest hurdler for current team and hasn't been finding life all that easier back on the Flat. |
33/1 |
|
8th 8 (4) |
20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
9.5f winner in France as a 2yo, but he's been poor over hurdles for current yard and was well held back on the Flat here (1m3f) 16 days ago; overall record is now 1-14 and he needs to turn things around back in trip. |

14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 201y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Gradually finding his form for new stable since returning from lengthy absence, fourth over 1m at Ffos Las most recently; doesn't seem to be crying out for this step back up in distance, however. |
12/1 |
|
4th 6 (1) |
4th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Newmarket winner in late 2024 (1m, good; fine on soft); second run back from a long absence was better than the first and he might progress again; realistic mark. |
9/1 |
|
6th 1 (11) |
21st May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 16y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won over 1m at Newmarket (good; also second on soft) in autumn 2024 but absent for 487 days prior to weakening into ninth of ten at Kempton (1m) three weeks ago; entitled to strip fitter (return to turf may also help) but a leap of faith is needed. |

14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 201y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Made the frame several times for previous yard, without progressing; however, ran encouragingly at Wolverhampton (9.5f, AW) on stable/seasonal debut and may build on that second-place finish; one to consider. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 1 (5) |
1st Jun 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Ex-William Haggas; still a maiden but showed a fair level of ability last year, notably when placed in novices at Leicester (7f) and Newmarket (1m), but she was well below her best in a Chelmsford AW handicap on final start (1m2f); sold 30,000gns since; acts on AW but has stamina to prove. |
10/1 |
|
9 (11) |
2nd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Placed in novice events at up to 1m; well held on only previous handicap start (7f, good to firm) in May; another in this field who has stamina to prove but she's on a workable mark if she gets the trip. |

14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 201y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Low-mileage 4yo who has form figures of 122 over 1m2f and may still have more to offer; kept on for midfield effort over 1m on seasonal debut; interesting back up in trip with that outing under her belt. |
13/2 |
|
6th 3 (3) |
19th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Low-mileage filly who showed her best form (one win, two seconds) last year over 1m2f; bit to prove back at 1m but otherwise may do better still. |
14/1 |
|
12th 4 (8) |
31st Oct 2025 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Ridden by claimer Morgan Cole over 1m2f on last three starts, storming clear at Epsom (1m2f, good) before runner-up at Newmarket (July course, good to firm) and Sandown (soft); 3yo who should not be inconvenienced by 1m1f and looks a leading player. |

14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 201y Class 5 |

Only a modest hurdles winner for current yard and isn't convincing on his 2026 form in that sphere; not seen on Flat since 2021; others preferred. |
25/1 |
|
7th 8 |
16th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
AW Flat winner; only win in 14 runs over hurdles was off this mark over C&D last May (good) when wearing a hood for the first time (as well as cheekpieces); hasn't done quite as well since, with today's combination of headgear the last twice. |
16/1 |
|
6th 5 |
24th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Four-time AW Flat winner who also scored in a Uttoxeter handicap hurdle (2m, good) last May and is just 1lb higher today; third at Wincanton on penultimate start was easily the best of his four efforts this autumn/winter, so he's not easy to trust. |
