2nd Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
8st 8lb |
Eight-time AW winner who has finished runner-up over C&D in his last three starts including a close call on his penultimate run; should give it another good shot and he's respected. |
5/1 |

9st 4lb |
Prolific winner who arrives on the back of three placed efforts over C&D; now 2lb higher but likely to give his running once again. |

4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Ffos Las (6f, good) win on debut; close fifth in a 7f AW handicap in January represents her best form but two heavy defeats have followed; has her first run in a 0-70 and with a tongue-tie added; not solid. |

9st 8lb |
Has patchy profile but he put in a dominant display at Kempton (1m) in October and he had some traffic issues in the closing stages when a respectable sixth over C&D last time; still looks on a workable mark and it wouldn't be a surprise if he made a bold bid. |

8lb below his last winning mark and ran respectably when third at Newbury 18 days ago, finishing one place behind Documenting; more appealing than some. |

7lb below his last winning mark and didn't run badly when fourth of seven on his third start for the yard at Salisbury (7f, good) nine days ago, but he gave plenty of trouble beforehand; others preferred. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 113y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Came good in first-time blinkers at Bath (1m, firm) in April, after a break, but managed only third in a small field there (1m2f) in May and was soundly beaten on his latest outing; needs to kick on again. |

Blinkers have helped him this spring, seeing off five rivals at Bath (1m, firm) last month and then finishing close up in third back at Bath (1m2f, firm) 19 days ago; returning to a mile can help and Mason Paetel's claim is a useful one. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Ex-French 4yo who is 0-8 in Britain and not solid on 2026 form, with his second behind H Key Lails at Lingfield flanked by duck eggs; still has something to prove beyond 7f to boot. |

Again showed ability when second of eight at Lingfield (7f, good) eight days ago, shaping as though the return to this trip would suit; high on list from same mark; stable also runs Play Me. |

30th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Four wins here (three over this trip) and has dropped 2lb below his last winning mark; defied a five-month absence as a 3yo, but his reappearance efforts in the meantime suggest this first start in seven months may be needed. |

Can race freely and has done a lot of his racing over shorter, often in headgear, but proved this trip is within range on his Windsor comeback in May; below that level twice since though. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 17y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Progressive for new stable this season and bids to complete a hat-trick after 1m wins at Bath (good) and Lingfield (AW); his tendency to race too freely remains a nagging concern but he could plausibly have more improvement to come over this new trip; obvious contender. |
6/4 |

4th Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |

Placed on his first two starts for this yard before opening his account at Bath (1m, good) last month, leading in the final strides; more to do off 3lb higher on return to AW but may have more to give. |

Inclined to hang left a couple of times, including when well beaten on his turf debut/comeback in the spring; since undergone wind surgery and the market should give some clues as to what's been made of his opening mark. |

9st 12lb |
Sole success came here in 1m maiden in 2024 when trained by Hughie Morrison; has been below his best for current yard this year and although his mark continues to fall he doesn't look a betting proposition at present. |
25/1 |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won a 2yo course maiden (good to soft) in 2024 but flopped on his return visit when favourite for a handicap (also 1m, good to firm; first-time blinkers) last September; left Hughie Morrison after another lesser effort and that pattern has continued in three starts for this yard; hopes probably pinned on this drop back in trip. |
