4th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Hold-up performer who won over C&D last autumn off a 2lb lower mark; no explanation put forward for her latest turf flop but the return to Polytrack and a bigger field ought to help. |
12/1 |

5th 1 (1) |
26th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Added to her 1m win here (good to firm) last summer when scoring over 7f at Lingfield (AW) last September; only 2lb higher than for that win and she returned after six months off with a close second at Kempton (7f) last month; now drops to 6f for the first time but has claims if she gets a good pace. |

4th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Trainer has won with his last three runners and has a good course record with older horses (10-35); this 5yo is 3-3 round here, is fairly treated, in form and won't be hurt by going back into a bigger field as a hold-up runner; leading player. |
9/4 |
|
2nd 2 (1) |
17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Last win came at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm) in May 2025; has slipped to a dangerous mark and any market support should be noted. |
9/2 |
|
6th 3 (7) |
26th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Three wins in the first half of 2025 and latest was off 1lb higher over C&D; returned after wind surgery with a promising effort in a Class 4 here (7f, good to firm) last month and he looks interesting on this drop back in grade. |

4th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
String of defeats at short prices since winning in a first-time hood on her stable debut last summer; quite capable if things fall her way but she hasn't always convinced. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 6 (6) |
23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Sole win from 14 starts came at Chester (7f, good; first-time hood) on her stable debut last July and she's posted some good efforts since, including at Brighton (1m) on her last two starts (carried head awkwardly latest); solid contender. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 1 (7) |
30th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Sole success came at Chester (7f, good; first-time hood) just under a year ago but has finished runner-up in four of her seven starts since, the latest a narrow defeat over C&D (good) three weeks ago (third has won since); major player again from 1lb higher. |

4th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Regressive gelding who's been as far as 1m2f and runs over this trip for the first time since his 2yo debut for Harry Eustace; happier on the AW than turf but is some way down the pecking order after his Epsom blowout (eased). |
16/1 |
|
9th 1 (8) |
16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 113y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
The only impact he made in three turf races (last April-July) came when third on good ground at Chester, which is up with his best AW form; pretty reliable with his minor AW honours this year, so needs considering. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 5 (3) |
27th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Back-to-back seconds over C&D and shaped as if still in form when sixth to Joseph over 2f further at Lingfield last time; not out of this; trainer/owner also represented by Forca Timao. |

4th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Yard in flying form but this gelding has it to prove, having been off since a poor turf comeback in May; two previous runs on Polytrack weren't great either, while an easy 7f looks a bare minimum. |
20/1 |
|
9th 5 (8) |
14th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Won at Leicester (1m, good to firm) last June when trained by Charlie Johnston and he went close at Southwell (1m, AW) on his final start for that yard; beat only one rival home on his stable debut 174 days ago and now has his first try over 6f; cheekpieces left off. |
9/1 |
|
2nd 10 (8) |
23rd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Wouldn't judge him too harshly on latest Kempton effort when trapped out wide; in good hands and bred to be better than this mark but not obviously ahead of the handicapper at present. |

4th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Two wins and several solid efforts in defeat round here, all over 1m (won over 7f on the turf course last summer); back on her last successful mark and is one to consider under Donagh Murphy, who has plenty of experience for 5lb in this company. |
5/1 |
|
4th 3 (1) |
29th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Six-time winner, including twice on Polytrack at Lingfield, and her first two runs of the campaign were encouraging; below that level on turf last time but she is the type to bounce back. |
12/1 |
|
7th 4 (7) |
26th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Won over C&D (good) last summer and has run well on the AW here in her last three outings; still 3lb above her highest winning mark, but ought to put up another bold show. |

Won his maiden over C&D as a 2yo for Amanda Perrett; turned in three poor efforts earlier this year, back from a lengthy absence, before being sold for 1,200gns in May; hard to recommend. |
50/1 |
|

28th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
First and second in two 7f novices at Lingfield the winter before last, but having been off for a year, he's trailed home last in 1m/7f handicaps (tried a hood and blinkers last time); makes turf debut with lots to prove. |

4th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Tumbled down the weights since coming over from Ireland and has found his level now, finishing best of the rest behind a well-handicapped winner over C&D last time; 7lb claimer James Glennon has ridden a couple of winners this summer. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 5 (11) |
13th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Won 6f maiden at Navan as 2yo; promising stable debut over 6f on this track in February 2025 but he's mostly struggled since; now 27lb below his peak mark but he was laboured over C&D last time and others are preferred. |
16/1 |
|
7th 1 (12) |
4th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won 6f maiden at Navan as 2yo; promising yard debut over 6f on this track in February 2025 but he's mostly struggled since, thus the drop of 24lb in the weights since racing in Britain; should come on for his April reappearance and is one to keep an eye on for signs of a revival. |

4th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |

Back on her last winning mark (C&D in February) following a couple of below-par efforts on turf; ought to fare better but Daisy Roots is perhaps her trainer's most interesting contender. |
12/1 |
|
6th 8 (3) |
22nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Five-time AW winner (including here) but she's 0-13 on turf and was never competitive at Epsom (7f, good to firm) a fortnight ago on her return from a break; might step forward from that but others have more pressing claims. |
20/1 |
|
5th 6 (5) |
9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
Won five times at Lingfield (7f-1m) during the last AW season and was still in good form there when last seen in April; has 0-12 strike-rate on turf, though, and others in this line-up look better handicapped. |

4th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |

Spent most of his career running in sprints but has been fine with 1m lately, latterly when chasing home a subsequent winner at Kempton; fairly treated now back in form and is one to consider. |
6/1 |

2nd 8 (11) |
8th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Got back on song for his new yard with third of ten in 1m Chepstow handicap 23 days ago; no forlorn hope off an easing mark. |
11/1 |

3rd 1 (8) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has done most racing, and gained all his wins, in sprints, apparently not seeing it out in a few runs over 7f; having a first run in a 0-55 but has regressed this year and stamina would have to be a concern. |

Dual C&D winner for Isobelle Chalmers, latterly in 0-55 company last winter; found 6f an inadequate test after a slow start here last time but goes back up in class today and is 5lb out of the weights. |
20/1 |

3rd 6 (7) |
1st Jun 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Winner here early in the year who's been held a few times since; running in a sprint for just the second time and, for all that she's a keen-goer, whether she'll have the required toe round here is the question. |
12/1 |
|
6th 7 (6) |
21st Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
2-21; said to have "benefited for the break" when returning to spring a 16-1 surprise at Lingfield (7f, Class 6) in January; wasn't far off those same levels when fourth (beaten 3l) back there next time but latest Kempton effort was only a modest one. |
