1st 1 (3) |
21st Jun 2026 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Goes on any ground; all his handicap wins have been here over 1m (seems to stay 1m2f), the latest in October off this mark; down the field in both races this year but those were after lengthy breaks; hard to dismiss. |
13/2 |

6th 6 (1) |
29th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 198y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Three wins here (1m, good to firm), most recently in October, immediately raise interest and he stuck at it when third over 1m2f on his final start of last term; quiet reappearance in February probably best ignored and he's worth another go at this trip (tried once two years ago); respected. |

10th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Gained a first win since 2024 when landing gamble for his new yard in 1m4f handicap at Lingfield in April; back up 3lb but remains handily weighted on past form so merits serious consideration. |

6th Jun 2026 Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Front-runner who gave good account when placed behind King's Hand over C&D (good) on last month's stable debut; that run came after a layoff and he remains on a good mark; handles good to soft (unraced on anything slower); no surprise if he makes a bold bid. |
8/1 |

3rd 7 (8) |
18th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Four wins for two previous yards came from the front, three round undulating courses; finished last season on a downswing, though, and sold for 1,000gns since; there's nothing to suggest he's best caught fresh. |

1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Three wins for Adam West including one on the AW in France; encouraging return/stable debut at Lingfield (1m2f, AW) in April but didn't build on it at Newbury (1m, good) last month; others preferred. |
8/1 |
|
6th 5 (4) |
15th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Three wins (8.5f/9.5f) for Adam West; ran encouragingly (close third) in 1m2f AW contest at Lingfield on stable/seasonal debut and has possibilities provided he builds on that effort. |

19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Losing run up to 19, but hasn't been with James Owen for long; ran well in his first two starts for the yard before pulling his chance away at Bath four weeks ago; dropping back to 7f may be no bad thing so worth a second look in the returning hood. |

15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 3f 99y Class 5 |

Dual C&D winner, including latest start (good to firm) when narrowly beating Seventy in three-runner field; back up only 1lb and looks likely to remain competitive. |
7/2 |
|
1st 6 (1) |
25th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Has several pieces of C&D form, including a success in 2023 and respectable fourth in latest start; competitively handicapped, having gained last three wins off just 1lb lower; enters calculations. |

7th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Wouldn't judge him too harshly on his latest effort (1m; Class 5) and his penultimate run didn't see him to best effect either; has shown promise on turf; not discounted. |
10/1 |
|
7th 8 (3) |
1st Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Began 2026 with two good placed efforts over 1m2f at Lingfield; easy enough to strike a line through latest effort as he ended up poorly positioned in a race run at a stop-start tempo; drops in trip and steps up in class today; others appeal more. |

30th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Dual Polytrack winner here this year, latterly in 0-50 company; didn't look to have any excuses back on turf (now 0-19) off this mark early in the month and needs more. |
8/1 |
|
5th 5 (7) |
7th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Took an age to get off the mark, finally opening his account at the 31st attempt in a 1m2f handicap at Lingfield (AW) in January; four runs since, twice finishing second before recording another Lingfield success six weeks ago; still unexposed at this trip and he is effective on turf. |

9th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Unplaced in all eight starts over 7f-8.5f, his best efforts coming on the AW; nothing in his pedigree to suggest that stepping up in trip will prove the answer. |
16/1 |
|
7th 3 (11) |
19th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 135y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Seven-race maiden who posted his best effort in handicaps when fifth of 12 here (1m, AW) 19 days ago on his first start since being gelded; needs to build on that returned to turf. |
9/1 |
