26th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |

Won three times in 2024 but unable to add to his haul since; retains ability but perhaps vulnerable for win purposes once more. |

3rd 4 (2) |
14th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Four-time winner from 40 starts; made an encouraging start to the campaign when second at Bath last month but ran below his best at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 10 days ago; without a win since July 2024 and needs to bounce back from that latest effort. |

27th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Resurgent 8yo who has won three of his last five starts including a game success at Catterick (6f, good) last Saturday; only 2lb higher back on AW and he's a big player again in hat-trick bid. |

9st 2lb |
August's Sandown win was over 5f but showed he's as effective over 6f when landing a Kempton apprentice event on Wednesday; escapes a penalty and Jack Dace also takes 5lb off so his claims are obvious from a handicapping perspective; yet to win back to back in his 56-race career, though. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
14-66 and somewhat of a Hamilton Park specialist; creditable third to Vince L'Amour (Betweenthesticks second) over C&D on penultimate start but, that aside, she hasn't been overly competitive; easing mark (8lb below her last winning one) offers some hope. |
14/1 |

9th 5 (4) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Best on good/firmer; 14-time winner who showed clear signs of a return to form at Ripon last time, finishing third; enters calculations off 6lb below last winning mark. |

3rd 6 (7) |
8th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Prolific winner who is on a dangerous mark but she's been out of sorts since completing a double at Hamilton (5f, good) last August; has plenty to prove and needs to turn things around back in trip. |

10th Apr 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |

Continues to edge down the weights and he's run the odd fair race this year, but he's without a win since November 2023 and it's hard to be confident regarding his claims. |

He has run some fair races for this yard but all four wins, the latest of them in November 2023, have come over 6f on Polytrack; solid effort over 1m last week; each-way shout. |

6th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Running well on the AW before collecting with a bit in hand at Bath two weeks ago (extended 5f; firm); likely to run well again off just 3lb higher and she has form with give underfoot. |
6/1 |

1st 3 (1) |
23rd May 2025 Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Done most racing and winning on the AW but has a victory and a third to her name in two starts here and handles fast ground; consistent round Wolverhampton of late and, while there's little wiggle room off this mark, she needs considering. |

3yo maiden who met some traffic issues when beaten favourite (finished sixth) over C&D last time, looking a bit better than the bare result; possibilities off reduced mark, granted better luck. |
8/1 |

6th 4 (7) |
7th Sep 2024 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |

Has shown the odd bit of promise but has flattered to deceive; has been running over 6f as well so there are stamina concerns. |

Not yet fully exposed after only six runs and was forced to race wide throughout when midfield at Kempton (6f, AW) a fortnight ago; another 3lb lower here and features prominently in calculations. |

21st May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Dual 6f Windsor winner (soft and good to firm), latterly in April 2024 for Luke Dace; left Claire Hobson after three starts, including fair fourth of nine at Yarmouth (7f, good to soft; first-time visor) last July; market might help on this stable debut (same owner) and first start for ten months. |

28th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 6 |

Second of two wins was in April 2024 when trained by Luke Dace; has shown little in two starts for current trainer this year; first-time visor goes on but hard to recommend. |

11th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
His C&D win last October came off a 16lb higher mark so his ability for a race of this nature isn't in doubt; he hasn't been firing in recent starts though, including when well supported. |
6/1 |

18th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |

Two 6f wins in 2024, both off a mark 14lb higher than today's; the odd promising sign this year and Hector Crouch replaces a 7lb claimer tonight. |

4th 1 (4) |
6th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |

5yo who has a regressive profile but has dropped down the weights and took a step back in the right direction when sixth of 14 at Windsor (6f, good to firm) in June last time; might not be far away. |

23rd Jul 2024 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
6f novice winner for Andrew Balding and went on to be competitive in handicaps, as was also the case at Windsor on her penultimate start (5f, good to firm; found some trouble in running); not sure what happened when last out at Newbury but she's respected. |
15/2 |

9th 1 (3) |
25th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Fair form in some warm 6f handicaps for Andrew Balding last year; yet to be involved in two runs for new yard but she's on a good mark and her latest finishing effort at Windsor (5f, good to firm) was promising as she was switched twice and came home nicely; contender back at 6f. |
11/2 |
|
4th 8 (5) |
20th May 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Failed to win in handicap company for Andrew Balding last season; 25-1 and never featured on her stable debut at Chelmsford in March; Sean Levey replaces an apprentice; type to exploit her reduced mark at some stage. |
