23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Came good at ninth attempt, when back on turf at Lingfield (1m2f, good to firm) last month; nudged up only 2lb for that and remains unexposed over this trip; big player if aided by new tongue-tie and/or cheekpieces. |

27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Missed the break more often than not and has still to prove his stamina over this far, having run below market expectations when last seen three months ago; questions to answer but 5lb claimer Harry Vigors has been among the winners of late. |

Still a maiden but mildly progressive at up to 1m; stamina the query today but he should be able to find a small race in the coming weeks. |

6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Five-race maiden who is very nicely bred, being a son of Frankel and from the family of Dubawi; ran well (neck second) over 1m2f on the turf track at Lingfield on handicap debut; behind Didaar at Nottingham since but may do better still; steps up in trip. |
6/1 |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Showed much improved form when stepping up in trip on his handicap debut to be runner-up at Lingfield (1m2f, good to firm) three weeks ago; should step on from that and holds strong claims. |
9/2 |

2nd 1 (3) |
27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Underwent wind surgery after one run for Richard Hannon last spring; not without support on the first of his two runs back from a year off and now starts handicap life at a lowly level, stepping back up from 1m under leading apprentice Jack Callan; this task is more realistic. |

7th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Yet to score this year but has run well a few times, latest when third of five at Lingfield (1m2f, good to firm) ten days ago; should be thereabouts but would prefer some give in the ground. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 2 (6) |
27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Wildly inconsistent this year; better from the front in a small field last time and the return to a switchback track, back up in trip, looks in his favour (fair record on the AW here); whether he reproduces the effort is the question. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 1 (5) |
26th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
For one who has been a model of consistency for much of his career it is slightly disconcerting that he has been well below form in three of his last four starts; the lesser runs have been in Class 5 events and his standout recent effort came when faced with Class 6 opposition, missing out by just a head at Lingfield in February (1m2f, AW); has run well over C&D in the past and a revival could be forthcoming back down in grade. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Progressive once handicapping over this trip last year, winning four from six (three on Polytrack), latterly off a 2lb lower mark; held in three runs this season but she wasn't beaten far at Lingfield last time and that was more like it; not ruled out. |

27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Progressive once handicapping over this trip last year, winning four from six (three on Polytrack), latterly off a 3lb lower mark; held in two runs back but this is easier and she ought to fare better. |
4/1 |
|
6th 8 (1) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Progressive last year, winning four times over 1m2f (AW/good to firm turf); weak in the betting and left the impression her first start for 225 days was needed when sixth of eight at Newmarket (1m2f, good) last month; may take a step forward. |

2nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 23y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Free-goer who won over 1m for Andrew Balding last summer and looked back in good nick when running big race in defeat over that trip here (good to firm) in May; refused to settle and came last of five (albeit not beaten that far) when upped to 1m2f at Lingfield in June, though, and remains risky over this trip. |
13/2 |

5th 3 (1) |
27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Often pulled hard, including in the hood, and she'll have to settle better going beyond 1m for the first time after a short break; best effort for this yard was last time, though, despite again edging left (winner progressive), and she holds claims on that. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 4 (6) |
13th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Got off the mark at Brighton (1m, good to firm) last June when trained by Andrew Balding but she's struggled in three starts since joining this stable; switches back to turf having been dropped another 3lb. |
