25th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
All four wins have been on the AW, the last three at Kempton, most recently over 1m in June when last seen off a 4lb lower mark; went close here over 7f in April and can be competitive on his return from a 76-day break. |

10th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Justified favouritism in a C&D handicap in April off 5lb lower; beaten a nose at Lingfield later that month and then met trouble in running at Ripon last week; should remain competitive. |

5yo who was in top form on AW in the spring, with a win at Kempton (1m) being sandwiched by two seconds; showed some promise in May 2024 when he last raced on turf; key player if transferring good form back to grass. |

21st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Won two of his four starts (1m2f-1m4f) since joining Tony Carroll, including for today's rider; dropping back to 1m not sure to play to his strengths though. |
8/1 |
|
5th 5 (7) |
30th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Four-time winner for Ed Dunlop and he made it 2-3 for current yard when landing novice amateurs' race at Catterick (1m4f, good to firm) two weeks ago; up another 2lb but remains well treated on his old form, and four of his wins have come over this trip; leading contender. |
9/4 |
|
1st 3 (3) |
15th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 13y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Four-time winner for Ed Dunlop; lost his way in Ireland but bounced back to make a winning start for Tony Carroll at Chepstow (1m2f, good to soft; fine on faster) last month; possibly found the run coming too soon when only fifth over 1m at Brighton six days later; probably stays 1m4f and retains handicapping scope on his best form. |

16th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Four-time turf winner but 0-6 on AW; never threatened when fifth at Kempton on Monday (1m) and has to prove this trip is in range. |
10/1 |
|
10 (6) |
13th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Four turf wins to her name, the latest at Brighton in April (1m, good to firm) when rated 2lb higher; needs to bounce back from a lacklustre run at Epsom last month. |
10/1 |
|
7 (9) |
11th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 113y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Can be in and out but fairly solid in cheekpieces when third at Brighton (1m) on her last two starts and it was a creditable second on her only start here (C&D, good) last July; has dropped below her last winning mark. |

5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 216y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Six-time AW winner for Alice Haynes; well below best form for new stable this year but his two recent turf runs in this grade (1m/7f, good to firm) were fairly respectable, and he might be boosted by the refitted blinkers here. |
13/2 |

5th 1 (5) |
2nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Six-time AW winner for Alice Haynes; out of form for new stable this year (five runs) but took step back in right direction when respectable sixth in this grade at Thirsk (1m, good to firm) last month and may benefit from this drop back in trip. |
6/1 |

Six-time AW winner for Alice Haynes, the most recent coming at Chelmsford last August; 5lb lower than for that success but he's been well held in four starts since joining this stable. |

25th Nov 2023 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Bred to be much better than she's shown so far (dam won a 1m2f Group 1) and her last effort, when a fading sixth of nine over this distance at Chelmsford, was certainly a step in the right direction; dropped 3lb and if she can build on that run she'll be a leading contender. |

Signs of ability in her two runs over shorter and today's step up in trip should suit; will need improvement if she's to come out on top though. |

29th Dec 2023 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Six-race maiden; sound efforts in 7f handicaps at Wolverhampton (runner-up) and Lingfield (close fourth) since wearing cheekpieces; has shown promise over 1m; likely player in the retained headgear. |
9/2 |
|
4th 12 (6) |
6th Dec 2023 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Placed in three of her five starts; ran well in first-time cheekpieces at Wolverhampton (7f handicap) latest, beating all bar the favourite; tongue-tie now added to the retained headgear; could well have a race of this nature in her. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 5 (8) |
25th Nov 2023 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Hasn't built on a good third over this trip at Chelmsford on her second start, tending to race freely, but she wasn't beaten all that far over the same C&D last time and cheekpieces could have a beneficial effect. |

14th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |

18-race maiden who is probably best watched having been absent since falling over hurdles at Plumpton in September 2024. |

22nd Sep 2024 Good 2m 1f 164y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
0-17 on the Flat but but placed in three low-grade, middle-distance handicaps since switching to current stable in the spring and can be competitive at this level over hurdles if he jumps well. |
12/1 |

4th Sep 2024 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
16-race maiden who went close over 1m4f here in April; front-running second at Salisbury (1m2f) in July but pulled hard and tailed off back here on latest start; should not be far away if bouncing back from that reverse. |
