1st 6 (9) |
6th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Chelmsford winner off 5lb higher this time last year; boasts a fair record overall at this trip on the AW and a return to form wouldn't surprise; may well be dropped in and ridden for luck from stall 9. |
10/1 |
|
8th 2 (1) |
12th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Beneath his last winning mark (5f AW) and his second run back from a break was more encouraging, as although only eighth at Kempton he wasn't beaten too far (6f) from an unpromising position; capable of racing prominently, which would be helpful from stall 1, and could be interesting; soft ground would be a concern. |
6/1 |

8th 6 (12) |
20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Scored off this mark at Chelmsford (5f) last July; should be sharper following a run at Newmarket last month and steps back up to 6f; not out of this. |

6th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
Won over 5f early in his career but has raced exclusively over 6f for the past two years, latterly when winning here for Harry Vigors (then claiming 7lb) off 3lb lower in April; goes well fresh but another furlong would have been ideal round here. |
7/2 |
|
1st 2 (3) |
20th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Can lead; five AW wins at 6f and 5f; has settled into a handicapping groove since the latest of them in February and although he wasn't far away under Harry Vigors at Wolverhampton (6f; blinkers replaced cheekpieces) 11 days ago he isn't obviously ahead of his mark. |
9/4 |
|
3rd 2 (1) |
9th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Gained his fifth win on the AW when landing a class 4 handicap at Chelmsford (6f, AW) in February; below his best in two starts since and now has blinkers on for the first time (replacing cheekpieces). |

25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Front-runner who was beaten off only inside the final 1f at Lingfield last time; should make another bold bid but he's still 4lb higher than when making all at Yarmouth in the spring. |
11/1 |
|
3rd 3 (1) |
6th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Front-runner who's drawn to attack and boasts a solid record over C&D; not much room for manoeuvre off this mark, though, for a yard also responsible for Ziggy's Missile. |
8/1 |
|
8th 6 (5) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Front-runner who was found an ordinary Yarmouth handicap when winning easily in the spring; handicapper had his say for that and he finished well beaten behind Dream Composer upped in class at Epsom last time; yard also runs Rhythm N Hooves. |

6th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Best over 5f and currently 1-1 on the AW (Tapeta); run in Listed company twice since then and once over 6f, and is best judged on her latest Epsom fourth off the same mark; holds claims on that into a less-competitive handicap. |
7/2 |
|
4th 3 (5) |
5th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
All three wins at 5f, on soft, good to soft and the AW; has had some excuses since the latest in March and the return to a 5f handicap looks in her best interests after she ran in Listed races either side of a modest 6f run at Chester; it's likely she needs to find extra for this, even so. |

14th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
His career win number six when making all and repelling Moulin Booj on recent stable debut over C&D; likely to win more races; up 4lb. |
5/1 |
|
1st 7 (2) |
1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Well handicapped on this winter's AW form but he has gone off the boil more recently; given a chance by the handicapper as a consequence and he needs a market check starting out for Ruth Carr (sold out of David Loughnane's stable for 22,000gns last month). |
12/1 |
|
5th 5 (2) |
6th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Lost his way and is now 10lb lower than when narrowly beaten over C&D early in the year; needs a revival but hasn't had conditions to suit on turf lately and ought to fare much better. |

6th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Ten-time C&D winner, mainly from the front, including twice earlier in the year, latterly off this mark; this company a bit warmer than he's used to and there's other pace in here, so he'll need something close to a career-best effort. |
16/1 |
|
4th 3 (7) |
9th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 60y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Front-runner who is 11-61 on the AW, but 0-6 on turf; has a bit to prove and will probably need the ground to dry out in any case. |
20/1 |
|
6th 8 |
29th May 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Cracking 8yo who has won two Polytrack races in every season for the last five years; however, he finished behind Spendmore Lane and Ancient State at Lingfield recently and the return to Tapeta looks a negative. |

6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 16y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Front-runner who couldn't adopt those tactics after a wide trip on the AW last time; had resumed better than ever and off same mark as for his near miss at Windsor (5f, good to firm). |
11/2 |
|
7th 4 (8) |
6th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Front-runner who's resumed better than ever, backing up his Bath win with a Windsor near-miss off 1lb lower (inclined to hang left); might have been better drawn but can't be discounted for a yard that's won with four of its last five runners. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 7 (3) |
1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Made light of a five-month absence when making all in 5f handicap at Bath 35 days ago, holding on by a nose from The Thames Boatman; not taken lightly despite a 3lb rise. |

12th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
8st 6lb |
Five-time winner on turf but 0-11 on the AW; has struggled since winning at Bellewstown (5f, soft) last October and was always behind on his stable debut at Lingfield (5f, AW) last month; steps back up in trip; best watched. |
33/1 |
|
8th 8 (3) |
6th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Irish wins came on turf and his record on Polytrack at Dundalk wasn't great; poor this spring and goes without the usual blinkers for his new yard; would want to see support before factoring him in. |
16/1 |
|
8th 5 (5) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y |
9st 7lb |
One of two for yard; kept busy last year and four wins included one over C&D (good) in September off 77 and just 1lb higher here; subsequently won off revised mark of 84 at Bellewstown in October; badly out of form so far this year, however, and needs a revival. |

25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 4f 217y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Six-time winner, with five on AW and one on turf; well handicapped on his Nottingham win (5f, good) last summer but he's been out sorts in three runs this season and needs a big turnaround. |
16/1 |
|
9th 7 (6) |
6th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Come to hand early in previous seasons but hasn't offered much in two runs back this time; now 11lb lower than when winning at Chelmsford last summer, which shows how things have gone since; needs a major revival. |
12/1 |
|
5th 3 (2) |
3rd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Most of his success has come on AW but he showed at Nottingham last spring that he could get the job done on turf (5f, good); looked as though his recent seasonal return would bring him on and his lacklustre end to 2025 has seen him drop to a dangerous mark. |
