Tumbling down the weights and one to be interested in when the stable emerges from the doldrums. |

17th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Well handicapped on his Sandown win (5f, good) last July but has mixed record since and he's been well held in three runs this year; now drops back in grade but he needs to get back on track. |
20/1 |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Has won just once since April 2024, at Sandown (5f, good; from 6lb higher) last July; joined this trainer soon after for 15,000gns, and runner-up on stable debut; nowhere near his best in three starts this year, including when twelfth of 20 at York (6f; 50-1) latest. |

27th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Ten of his 11 wins have come over C&D, the latest in March off a 1lb higher mark; happiest when making the running and there could be some competition for that role in this field. |
5/1 |
|
6th 9 (4) |
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 |

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. |

1st Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 60y Class 5 |
8st 7lb |
Three-time course winner but last season ended on a low note and he was tailed off here on last month's return, albeit on ground faster than ideal. |
12/1 |

6th 1 (4) |
5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Three-time C&D winner, most recently last May; absent since two disappointing runs here last August, though, and would appeal more on good or slower ground. |
13/2 |
|

1st Sep 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 60y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Two wins this season, the latter from the front over C&D (good to soft) in May; also suited by good to firm ground and last month's down-the-field finish here can be excused (stumbled leaving stalls) but others in this line-up look better handicapped; finished last of 13 in first-time visor here yesterday. |

Three wins in 2026, including C&D, with the latest an emphatic win in the mud at Beverley on Sunday; a 4lb penalty shouldn't prevent another prominent showing. |

Successful twice last spring, including over C&D off 2lb higher; not in the same form since and finished behind Harb when returned to this track three weeks ago; needs to raise her game. |

2nd Feb 2023 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Back in better form last month and finished first past the post (demoted for causing interference) at Newcastle on latest start; back up 2lb but is on last winning mark and should remain competitive. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 4 (8) |
20th Jan 2023 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Completed a hat-trick on turf/Tapeta last summer and having dropped 2lb below his last winning mark, he ran better when third of six at Wolverhampton (5f, Tapeta) 11 days ago, finishing less than a length behind Bellagio Man; each-way claims if continuing his resurgence. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 2 (3) |
9th Jan 2023 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
The third leg of his summer hat-trick came off 2lb higher at Doncaster but he's finished down the field in his last three runs including twice at Southwell this winter; has won over this C&D but he has a bit to prove and needs to get back in the groove. |

12th Jun 2023 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Front-runner; 5lb lower than for his Chelmsford win in December; fully effective over C&D and he's likely to make a bold bid. |
6/1 |
|
6th 8 (4) |
22nd May 2023 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
C&D winner who scored at Chelmsford in December but he's not easy to predict and dropped out at Ascot (5f, good) 19 days ago; may have needed that after a short break but he needs to get back near his best. |
20/1 |
