24th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 210y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
3-13 here, taking advantage of a favourable mark when successful at this track (1m, good to firm; first-time cheekpieces) this month; only 2lb higher and still well treated on last summer's form; player. |

2nd Jun 2025 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Four wins last summer, latterly off a 7lb higher mark, and has come back to form round here lately; often blows the start and can pull hard, while it's late in the day to be trying headgear for the first time, but he remains quite capable if things fall right. |

Course winner but an 8yo now and has been absent for more than a year; without a win since July 2023. |

3rd Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
C&D winner; losing run stretches back over two years and he hasn't fired yet this year; dropped 10lb as a result but perhaps not ready to capitalise just yet. |

3rd Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Multiple winner down the years but this veteran has something to find on 2025 form; comfortably held last time, failing to back up his reappearance effort. |
25/1 |

7th 5 (9) |
15th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 213y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Multiple winner who goes particularly well at Brighton where he was only 2l away last month (7f, good to soft) on his return from a lengthy break; might be vulnerable to younger limbs but should give his running. |
10/1 |

27th May 2025 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Off since September but he's proven when fresh having won at Epsom (7f, good) off 1lb higher on his reappearance last July; has won here four times from nine starts, including this race in 2022 off 3lb higher and he holds sound claims on his return. |

15th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 216y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Four course wins, all over 7f on fast ground; only 1lb higher than for the latest success (June) but his more recent efforts have been unconvincing and an easy lead is unlikely. |
20/1 |
|
11th 1 (9) |
23rd Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
11st 5lb |
All six wins have come at this trip, the latest when making all to win well at Brighton (good to firm) in June; took a step back in the right direction when fourth in a Class 4 over that C&D one month ago; interesting on this drop in grade. |
11/2 |

4th 7 (6) |
23rd Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 4 |
8st 8lb |
Four C&D wins to his name, the latest in June off 4lb lower; an easy lead would seem unlikely and this opposition may prove too demanding. |

2nd Sep 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Eight-time winner at up to 7f; made virtually all when scoring at Yarmouth (5f, good to firm) in April, but he's not hit the same level since and was only sixth of eight at Windsor last time; now back below his last winning mark but he needs to raise his game. |
11/2 |

19th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Made all to beat Exceed at Yarmouth (5f, good to firm) in April and he's 1lb lower today; mixed bag since but he's got the rail to help today and Oisin Murphy's booking is an obvious plus; big player. |
9/2 |
