Still below his winning C&D mark in March despite 6f Chelmsford success last month; should be all the better for the return to 6f after failing to find much over 7f last month but this looks tough. |

Dual 6f course winner (has won at up to 1m), including when keeping on well latest, on his first start since wind surgery; up 3lb for that but he still looks feasibly treated; contender. |

25th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Completed a double off 4lb higher at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) last June but he's been well held in three runs this season; seems versatile regarding ground and tactics but he needs to rediscover his spark. |

3rd 3 (8) |
7th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 16y Class 4 |

At his best this time last year and is now 2lb lower than when last successful; well held in two runs back this spring, however, and didn't shine in two previous starts here, so has a bit to prove back from six weeks off. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
The winner of 14 of his 48 starts, including two 5f handicaps this season; dropped away when seventh to King Of Light over 6f at Windsor 12 days ago; others look better handicapped. |
16/1 |

7th 5 (7) |
29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Course specialist; in prime form, having won at Bath before suffering a luckless run on this track, then a convincing winner here (also 5f, good to soft; acts well on good to firm) since; that trip seems to suit best though and he has more to prove off 6lb higher in a better race. |
100/30 |

1st 4 (3) |
8th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 21y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Useful strike-rate and 4-6 over 5f for Oisin Murphy; can lead; versatile regarding tracks but he won his first two C&D starts (including this race when 3lb higher) and gave the principals too much rope back here in May, albeit he still found only an improved one too good; best form on good or quicker ground and rarely asked to tackle slower surfaces. |

Four wins over 6f including two on Polytrack, but she hasn't shown enough since returning from a year off last summer to suggest she will be winning this. |

Ran away with a 1m handicap at Lingfield (AW) last June on his final start for Archie Watson but never dangerous in three AW outings for this stable; could only consider if backed. |

14th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
9yo who has had 16 wins on AW, in January most recently; sole turf win (from 19 attempts) was at Yarmouth in 2022 but he came within a neck of another in a classified at same track (6f, good to firm) 18 days ago, which was the first time this year that he's worn his usual cheekpieces; has a shout if that form is repeated. |

9yo who has won 16 times on AW; his sole turf win came at Yarmouth but he failed to beat a rival over C&D (good) when last seen in April and needs to bounce back after that 16l defeat; cheekpieces reapplied. |

28th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |

Chelmsford specialist who ran another sound race there on final start in March; only 1-17 on turf but has course form and this mark gives him a chance. |

9st 9lb |
2-45, with the latest win coming at Bath (5.5f, good) last July; tailed off on his return at Salisbury (5f, good to firm; reported to have had a respiratory issue) two weeks ago; has form over this far but others are currently preferred. |

23rd Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Has a poor strike-rate and is the only runner who lacks recent match practice, having been absent since last October; best watched unless the market speaks favourably. |

31st Oct 2024 Soft 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |

Had a good record at Bath until tailed off here (5f, heavy) last time in first-time blinkers; however, the ground may have been too much and he's back in cheekpieces today; has shown promise on soft going; could go well. |

Holds weak claims on his form this winter for new yard; possibly found 5f too sharp last time but returning to 7f may not be the answer; 6f has looked his optimum trip. |

All five wins have been over 7f on AW but latest was 11 months ago; on dangerous mark but he ended last year on a low note and was tailed off on his hurdling debut last month; has rejoined Darryll Holland since that last run but he has some questions to answer; blinkers reapplied. |
