21st Oct 2025 Good To Firm 2m 0f 161y Class 5 |

Capable Flat performer who ran okay in maiden hurdles during the summer before losing her way; had wind surgery but others look safer. |

6th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Fair Flat racer who made the frame in two of her first four hurdling starts for new stable this year, more notably when third over C&D (good to firm) in July; below form last time, though, and has a point to prove on this handicap hurdle debut. |

Fair Flat racer who has made the frame on two of her three hurdling starts for new stable this year, more notably when third at Stratford (2m, good to firm) in early July; well beaten when back on the Flat last time but still enters calculations here. |

Close third in a 7f Lingfield classified last time but that was AW; no win since August 2023 and it's almost as long since he ran well on turf. |

28th Aug 2023 Good 1m 0f 113y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
All wins on good/softer; on a two-year losing spell but arrives in form, having been placed in both runs this term, and remains on a workable mark; has won over C&D and is fresher than most, given the light campaign; warrants respect back here. |

Found only a real course specialist too good when 2l second on June's seasonal return at Haydock (1m, good); remains 7lb below his last winning mark, and makes major appeal dropped to his first class 5 handicap. |

10st 0lb |
Two wins last year on good ground for different trainers, including 7.5f Roscommon handicap off 80; now 10lb lower plus talented claimer takes off another 5lb; got his favoured ground when eyecatching third of 14 at Roscommon from tough draw 18 days ago; big chance. |

Two wins last year included this race off a mark of 80 when trained by Stephen Thorne; 8lb lower now, talented claimer takes off another 5lb and gets his favoured good ground for the first time this year; drawn wide but dangerous to dismiss. |

Veteran has won 12 of his 81 starts including five wins on turf; best form is on good ground, though he wasn't beaten that far over C&D on testing ground last October; has had a pipe opener at Dundalk and could outrun odds off 4lb lower. |

1m win here (heavy) last October came off a 6lb lower mark; solid efforts for new trainer here on his last two runs (extended 1m3f) but he could help set this up for a finisher. |

Veteran (13-102); has won just once since late 2024, when edging out Pallas Lord over C&D (15-2) on New Year's Day; kept on after a slow start, fifth of seven, at Ayr (7f; 33-1) four weeks ago. |

16th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |

Five C&D wins include this race for the last two years; not particularly convincing on 2025 form but has a good chance off current mark provided he's back on song. |
14/1 |

6th 1 (10) |
7th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Five C&D wins, three of those in cheekpieces on soft; has struggled for form this season (0-6), making only minimal inroads from the rear at Epsom (7f; eighth of 12; 50-1) latest; competes from an easing mark. |
12/1 |

8th 12 (9) |
11th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |

Two C&D wins earlier in career; conditions have been against him during the hot summer but he won the two most recent soft-ground races he contested, over 7f at Brighton last autumn, so the more rain the better; yard has won the last four runnings. |

Four-time winner over 1m/1m2f here; back off his last winning mark and has twice won after an absence, but whether he can do so after 313 days off is a moot point; may also need further than this now. |

23rd Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 6f 44y Class 5 |

Former miler who has reinvented himself as a stayer, winning over 2m on AW in March and respectable fourth over C&D last time; the 8yo now takes on some unexposed 3yos. |

24th May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 6f 44y Class 5 |

Running, and winning, over 1m this time last year but he collected by 2l over 2m on the Kempton AW in March; not in the same form back there a month ago but chance if on a going day (can be up and down). |

8st 10lb |
Four wins include one over C&D (good) in May 2024; hasn't scored since August of that year but he's now 20lb lower and latest fourth of 13 at Doncaster (7f, good to soft) was a solid effort despite hanging; should enhance creditable Brighton form figures of 21424. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |

0-30 on AW but he's won four times on turf (7f); struggled during the winter but he returned to this scene with a respectable effort at Yarmouth (6f, good) last month; should benefit from that run and he's in the mix on this step back up in trip; cheekpieces reapplied. |
