5th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Won over C&D in October 2024 off 9lb higher; however, he's run just five times since and has been disappointing in the main, particularly on both starts this season. |

11th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 3f 104y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Five-timer for the Charlton stable between September 2023 and July 2024 included a win over C&D, but he was beaten out of sight on his stable debut/reappearance at Kempton 15 days ago; has plenty to prove now. |

27th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Won his first five handicaps (including on Tapeta, unproven on Polytrack) but the last of those was in July 2024; generally disappointing since and, after 307 days off, this is a new trip on first run since changing hands and leaving Harry Charlton. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Better on AW but he did win on good to firm last May; placed in two of his AW starts last winter but tailed off in a hot 2m race at Easter (hooded) and well beaten when returned to turf at Salisbury in May; now tries cheekpieces and a lower turf mark is largely negated by being 4lb out of the handicap. |

14th May 2026 Good 1m 6f 44y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Three-time winner whose sole success on turf came over C&D (good to firm) just under one year ago; also scored off this mark on AW (1m6f) in September but has been very in and out on last four starts, including when tried in a hood (removed) and beaten 32l in valuable AW event last time; drops back down in grade from lower turf mark and can make presence felt if on a going day. |

Two wins from 24 starts; heavy defeats in four of seven races this term but also now placed in three of his last four; more to prove on soft or heavy. |

30th Aug 2024 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 5 |

Two of her five AW wins have been here; recent efforts haven't been her best but her mark has eased; hard to rule out. |

14th Aug 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Five AW wins elsewhere, two in the spring, but has C&D form; holding her form and this is a lower grade than at Newcastle 18 days ago but she probably needs a bit extra off her current mark. |

12th Jun 2026 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Mainly seen on the AW these days, but he did win three times on turf as a 3yo; interesting to see how he fares in the market on debut for Tony Carroll (same owner). |
10/1 |

6th 5 (5) |
2nd May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Recorded his tenth win when scoring at Wolverhampton (2m, Tapeta) in January; held his form with creditable efforts in next three starts but his good spell came to a halt at Lingfield last month; has bit to prove again after that heavy defeat and his last turf win was in 2022. |

3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |

Three course wins have come over 1m4f, but he has won over this sort of trip elsewhere; finished half a length behind St Faz when third of four at Southwell (1m6f, Tapeta) and now 11lb better off; each-way claims. |

24th Sep 2025 Yielding To Soft 2m 2f 0y |
10st 13lb |
Three-time flat winner showed a little bit more over timber at Tramore (16.5f, good) last time but was still beaten 7.5l into eighth; down 2lb but needs to improve again to be competitive here. |

17th Aug 2025 Good 2m 0f 140y |
11st 1lb |
Three-time Flat winner (twice in France, once in Britain) at up to 1m4f; has shown little over hurdles, but can be forgiven his recent run at Cork, failed to recover after being badly hampered four out; may do better. |

6th Jul 2026 Good 1m 5f 26y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Well handicapped on old form but hasn't won on the Flat since 2021 and, following a 406-day absence, he finished last in recent 1m3f Hamilton race won by Annandale; has too much to prove. |
40/1 |

17th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 3f 15y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Dual AW Flat winner (1m4f) in 2021 who also won a 2m3f hurdle race in March 2023; that's from 44 starts and he may prove best watched on this first appearance since May 2025, despite the reduced mark. |
20/1 |

3rd 1 |
7th May 2025 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Dual AW Flat winner (1m4f); only hurdle win was for Ben Pauling off 11lb higher at Doncaster in March 2023 (2m3f, good); some fair form last term, stable in good form and he's a possible. |
