23rd Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Inconsistent this year but ran encouragingly over C&D returned to AW last time and has possibilities provided he builds on that effort; defied higher marks twice in this sphere in 2021. |

3rd Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Shaped with encouragement on his return to action at Chelmsford in May (6f); three disappointing turf runs have followed but he's slipped down the weights and drops into a Class 5 for the first time since his easy Haydock win last summer; not ruled out. |

Nine-race maiden; placed twice on turf this summer but she has been a shade disappointing the last twice; should be fine on AW and better drawn today than when sixth at Wolverhampton last time. |

14th Oct 2024 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |

In good form without winning in 2024 but only sixth in 6f Salisbury handicap last month; she's the sort to bounce back though. |

4th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Won at 6f and over C&D for James Owen at the start of the year, then over 1m here on yard debut in March, but his last three runs have been nothing like as good; has plenty to prove back at 7f. |
25/1 |

10th 6 (12) |
1st Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Enjoyed a revival for James Owen and this yard earlier in the year, with three wins, including two round here; up in the weights now, though, and finished well behind a couple of these over C&D a month ago; needs more from somewhere. |
20/1 |

Looked in excellent nick on last month's stable debut, gaining clearcut C&D win in first-time cheekpieces; not quite in same form when fourth off new mark here three weeks later but still considered. |

9th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Can race freely and isn't the only potential pace influence here, but confidence in her restored by last month's Kempton rout (6f); hiked beyond any winning mark again, but goes on anything and this dual Ffos Las scorer won't fail for the return to a galloping track. |
9/4 |

24th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
All three wins (6f) on turf and she won well at Ffos Las (good) in August; 0-10 on AW, though, and she raced freely and hung for pressure when sixth of nine over C&D 19 days ago. |
11/2 |

6th 9 (7) |
5th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

All three 6f wins on turf; has form on both AW surfaces but record on sand now stands at 0-9 and this is her first Polytrack run for two years. |

19th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Ended last season with 6f AW novice win and has performed well in all four handicaps this year, most recently when keeping-on third in first-time blinkers (retained) at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) last month; ought to make her presence felt again here. |

6f novice win on AW as a 2yo; not looked ahead of her mark in two runs this season, albeit latest Yarmouth fifth is working out; down in trip and class and could bounce back. |

13th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Won six 5f handicaps here in 2025; only 1lb higher than for the latest of them but he is rarely seen over 6f and connections now turn to a tongue tie for the first time. |
7/1 |
|
5th 3 (4) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Boasts a fine record over 5f here, winning in December and reaching the frame on all three outings this year; 6f AW winner for previous stable but has raced almost exclusively at the minimum trip for Nigel Tinkler; should be on the premises if still fully effective at 6f. |

4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 110y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Often blows the start and/or races too freely but is a six-time AW winner, most recently in 5f Wolverhampton classified on Monday; faces tougher task under 5lb penalty in this handicap and his turf strike-rate is 0-13. |
10/1 |
|
1st 5 (2) |
1st Jun 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Not as good since missing more than a year, does most racing over 6f and will always come with risks, given a propensity to blow the start and/or pull hard; this is easier down to 0-50 company for the first time, though, and he's capable if it falls right. |
8/1 |
|
8th 5 (8) |
22nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Hold-up performer who scored at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) in January but he's not hit the same level since and has finished eighth in his three runs (Tapeta/turf); on dangerous mark but he has something to prove and slow starts can be an issue. |

Ex-Richard Hannon; not at his best this year and although well handicapped as a result, has plenty to find on recent efforts; tongue-tie now tried. |

Gained a third C&D success in December and largely in good nick since, fourth of nine over C&D two weeks ago; ought to be in the shake-up. |
