15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 6f 32y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Without a Flat win since 2023 but was placed in valuable 2m AW handicap in April and didn't run badly when sixth of 12 at Ascot (2m, good) last month; eased in grade here; can go well from the front. |
6/1 |

Can set the pace; twice runner-up at Wolverhampton (1m6f/16.5f) during the winter and a good third of 14 in competitive event at Lingfield (2m, also AW; Tarbat Ness sixth) on Good Friday; turf no problem and he should give a good account. |

16th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 53y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
In the reapplied blinkers he beat a fair yardstick at Huntingdon just before Christmas (2m, good to soft) but no shows since then, in a visor and blinkers; looks risky with cheekpieces now turned to. |

6th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 161y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Back from wind surgery and the blinkers returned when a length winner at Huntingdon (2m, good to soft; 3lb lower) just before Christmas; those aids are reapplied after last time but still not certain to be as good again. |

12th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Made all at Cattrick (1m4f, good) in April off a mark 3lb lower than today's and he caught the eye finishing strongly into third here over 2m a week ago; the drop back in trip doesn't look an obvious plus on that evidence but has to be respected. |

3rd 2 (6) |
5th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 5 |

Sole success came at Catterick (1m4f, good) in April; has been placed over hurdles, but has stamina to prove over this far on the Flat. |

23rd Jun 2026 Good 2m 2f 110y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Well beaten in three starts for new stable in early part of this year and also struggled when back on the Flat last month; makes handicap hurdle debut off a lowly mark and with cheekpieces refitted, but has quite a lot to prove. |
33/1 |

8th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |

11-race maiden; left Andrew Balding after running poorly in a seller in September and showed no significant promise in three subsequent hurdle races for new stable. |

23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Regressive 8yo who has not been firing on all cylinders this season and was beaten over 14l when fourth of five at Lingfield (2m, good) last month; continues to slide down the weights but needs a revival. |
7/1 |
|
4th 5 (4) |
18th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 68y Class 5 |

On a losing run and the switch to blinkers (retained) on his last two starts has not seen any upturn; others appeal more. |

13th Jul 2025 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Won a bumper on turf here in 2021; first win since was at Lingfield (2m, good) in just her fourth handicap, doing it smoothly from off the pace under Liam Wright despite an absence of more than three years; it's five days this time but she has form on Tapeta and has to be in serious calculations. |
7/1 |

8th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 2m 0f 68y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Won a Southwell bumper in 2021 and subsequently placed in two AW novice events but soundly beaten in three handicaps at 1m6f and 1m4f since and returns to action for new yard after a three-year absence. |

9st 9lb |
Gained a first win of 2026 at Kempton (2m) in May and in good form until beating just one there (2m) last month; this three-time winner here (including over C&D) can get back on track. |

4th Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 209y Class 6 |

All three wins have been on AW; respectable fourth over C&D (good) in June but seems best suited to AW. |

3rd 6 (1) |
21st Jul 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 6 |

Dual 1m4f winner here in April, latterly off a 2lb lower mark; back in form without the usual cheekpieces (on again tonight) on turf last time and won't mind being back on Tapeta; goes on the shortlist. |
