1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Has caught the eye a couple of times recently, but isn't proving easy to win with despite a declining mark; needs first-time blinkers to make a difference. |
9/1 |

13th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
On a long losing spell but has shaped encouragingly in two AW outings this year and remains on a workable mark; effective on turf and difficult to dismiss. |
7/2 |

3rd 4 (6) |
26th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
It's now 12 starts since his last victory but he got back on track in first-time cheekpieces when fourth of eight in 1m2f Lingfield handicap last month; headgear is dispensed with now but he still needs considering eased 1lb. |

2nd Sep 2024 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Triple AW winner who was a respectable fourth in classified event at Yarmouth (1m, good to firm) last time, but that took her turf record to 0-12 and she still has stamina to prove at this trip. |
5/1 |
|
4th 5 (4) |
19th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Lacks consistency on turf but goes well here and did better on her second run back from an absence behind two of these over C&D last time; is better off with both tonight, which brings her into the equation. |
7/1 |
|
5th 2 (4) |
30th Jul 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has run well on turf but her wins have come on the AW; ran poorly on her comeback from eight months off eight weeks ago (pulled hard after the blindfold was slow to come off for the second race on the spin) and has something to prove after that. |

9st 0lb |
Won this race off a 7lb higher mark in 2023; bit disappointing so far this season, including over C&D last time; stable going well so no surprise if she were to bounce back. |

31st Aug 2023 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Won over C&D last season and began this campaign with some very respectable efforts but has looked out of sorts on both outings this month and now has questions to answer; swaps blinkers for refitted visor. |

9st 9lb |
Won at Brighton (1m, good to firm) last September and she ran one of her best races since when second at Wolverhampton (8.5f, AW) in May; not seen subsequently but warrants consideration on this classified debut. |

Only 1-16 and can struggle with his consistency; fairly decent runs the last twice on the AW but his best form has come in that sphere. |

C&D winner for William Jarvis last October but he's been generally disappointing since including when beaten 12l on his recent stable debut at Nottingham; now 2lb lower than for his win but he needs a major revival back on Tapeta. |

Veteran who has had several chances off basement marks since his latest win in November 2022 and was tailed off when last in action a fortnight ago; swaps usual cheekpieces for first-time blinkers today. |

Modest 7f/1m handicapper on the Flat; pulled hard when tailed off on only previous run over hurdles in November 2023 (2m, good to soft); best watched for now. |
