2nd Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
C&D winner early last year when trained by Phil McEntee and his other success came on the AW at Southwell in October; reported to have lost both shoes when fifth at Newbury (6f, good to firm) nine days ago and may come on for that first start since January; cheekpieces added. |

23rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

He's on a competitive mark on last October's good AW form but he went off the boil subsequently and this is his first start since January; unproven on turf; needs to get back on track. |

17th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Boasts a decent record in handicaps round here (two wins and two seconds from six starts) and ran better than his final position suggests over C&D from a wide stall two weeks ago; one to consider. |
12/1 |
|
9th 3 (9) |
3rd Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Didn't get home at Southwell (7f, Tapeta) last month, but his record in handicaps around here reads 21412, his latest win coming over this trip in November after six months off; still just 1lb higher and respected; stable also runs Bungle Bay. |

28th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Some promise in two turf runs (7f) for Richard Hannon in May 2025; tailed off on stable debut (6f, Tapeta) nine months ago; drops in trip for handicap debut but far from solid. |

29th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |

Something to find on his May efforts (7f, turf) for Richard Hannon; sold for £5,000 and gelded since; handicaps should be more suitable soon. |

5th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

On a long losing run and he ended 2025 below par in 5f handicaps at Hamilton and Haydock last autumn; needs to hit the ground running after eight months off. |
20/1 |
|
7th 8 (10) |
17th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
C&D winner in 2023; landed a ninth win when scoring at Hamilton last September and finished third to Impressor there (also 5f, soft) last month; reared in stalls and weakened quickly at that venue one week later, though; career-low mark can only help. |

1st Jun 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Took advantage of a sliding mark round Lingfield in the winter (last four wins come there but is fine on Tapeta); off the boil since and this is a bit tougher; would want to see some support tonight. |
20/1 |
|
11th 3 (1) |
21st May 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
In good form at Lingfield during the winter and is a bit of specialist over 6f there (112121), but he has won over this C&D; latest Kempton effort not hard to forgive given his record at that track and could easily bounce back; shortlisted. |

28th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |

Began the year in hot form, winning 5f handicaps here and at Chelmsford; back to his last winning mark but he's barely beaten a rival on his last three runs. |
12/1 |
|
16th 4 (16) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Won a couple of 5f AW handicaps in January; fully effective at 6f but he needs to leave a couple of low-key runs behind him now back on turf. |

5th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Attractively handicapped on form as recent as last December but she needs to improve upon what she showed on her three outings this spring if she's to get off the mark this afternoon (0-11). |

4th 4 (1) |
21st Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
With Ed Walker when beaten a head at Lingfield (7f; 28-1) on New Year's Eve; changed hands in February for 5,000gns and she's yet to shine (0-2) for this trainer; competes from an easing mark, back in trip seeking to make it 11th-time lucky. |

30th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Two 5f wins for David O'Meara at Newcastle this year, the latter achieved in smooth fashion at the beginning of this month; never a threat when fifth on stable debut at Ayr (5f, soft) ten days ago, taking turf record to 0-9; the headgear she's worn on her last ten starts is left off here. |
10/1 |
|
5th 4 (8) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Two 5f wins for David O'Meara at Newcastle this year, the latest a smooth success in a 0-55 handicap 18 days ago; makes debut for her new stable off a 6lb higher mark with blinkers replacing other forms of headgear; below par in one run on ground slower than good. |

7th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Losing run up to 21, but he ran well to finish a close fourth of 16 at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) last month; a few winners have come out of that race and a hood is given a go, but the drop to 5f may not be ideal even on a stiff track like this. |
7/1 |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Very useful juvenile/3yo for Roger Varian but his last win was in February 2024 and he's not made an impact in seven runs this year; mark continues to fall but losing run is up to 20 and others are preferred. |

All three wins have been at this track, one over C&D; hasn't been firing on all cylinders this year though and needs the return to this track to bring about a revival. |

23rd Jun 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
Front-runner; 0-12 on turf but has placed form and he's a three-time AW winner; last run was disappointing (stays 6f) but had been running well prior to that; a greater concern would be the forecast slow ground. |

Four course wins, three of them over this trip, and she's well handicapped on form as recent as March; flopped on turf seven weeks ago but this should be more suitable. |

11th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won here in 2023 and she scored twice at Wolverhampton (7f/6f, AW) last June; good third at Wolverhampton in March but not at the same level there on either start since and she needs to raise her game. |

Verdict
Massimo Blue is much respected back down at Class 6 level, while Watermelon Sugar and Master Dandy are both worth a second look. Candy Warhol (second choice) could be dangerous if left alone in front, but it may be worth taking a chance with WHITE UMBRELLA, who has dropped 7lb lower than when winning for the third time over C&D just over a year ago.[David Bellingham]
