21st Jul 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Won over 1m2f on turf last August and AW in October; also had AW form in the winter but recent efforts do not look persuasive. |

2nd Jul 2025 Good 1m 2f 17y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Well beaten twice in a row over hurdles this spring and only fifth of seven when back on the Flat at Chelmsford (1m2f, AW) a fortnight ago; however, he won over C&D last August on his sole previous course visit and is well treated on AW form as recent as February; not written off. |

19th Jun 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Dual C&D winner (from four runs), latterly off a 1lb lower mark last autumn; said to have stopped quickly when well beaten at a short price over hurdles last month, which leaves him a bit to prove, but he has one of the more experienced jockeys up. |

9st 2lb |
Battled well to win apprentice jockeys' race from the front at Sandown (1m2f, good to firm) on Friday and is now 3-4 for George Baker; escapes a penalty here and will be fine over the longer trip; makes obvious appeal. |
8/13 |

1st 3 (6) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 209y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Hit the ground running for George Baker with 1m4f/1m3f wins on the AW and was close up at Epsom despite stumbling at the start; that was no backward step and he should be thereabouts. |
5/2 |
|
4th 2 (2) |
1st Jul 2026 Good 1m 2f 17y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Strong in the market when he made a winning stable debut at Lingfield (1m4f) and he followed up off 3lb higher at Kempton (1m3f, also AW) three weeks ago; handicapper reacted by dishing out a career-high mark but this locally trained gelding is a C&D winner who needs considering in current mood. |

5th Oct 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Reliable mare who won at Windsor (11.4f) in May and was runner-up at Epsom (1m2f) when last seen in August; now returns to AW but she's unexposed in this sphere and has claims if she can repeat that latest form. |
4/1 |

2nd 1 (4) |
14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 17y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Reliable mare who gained this season's win in three-runner contest at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm) in May; suited by this C&D and will appreciate today's ease in grade; each-way claims at least. |
11/2 |

Soft-ground hurdle winner in March off 2lb lower; out of sorts when last seen hurdling but in good form on the Flat since the blinkers went on, latest when a close third at Windsor this month; could play a part if the headgear continues to have a positive effect back over hurdles. |

10st 11lb |
Low-grade mares' handicap winner at Fakenham in March (2m, good to soft) off 3lb lower but she hasn't kicked on from that in four runs since, although her latest fourth at Market Rasen (2m, good) 11 days ago was a step back in the right direction. |

26th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Triple AW winner (including here) who was on a long losing run until popping up in a Windsor classified (1m2f, good) three weeks ago; had previously looked a little unlucky when second in a similar event over C&D in March; chance. |
6/1 |

4th Aug 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

7th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
C&D winner who scored on turf at Lingfield on his penultimate run and he wasn't suited by a tactical race at Epsom (third of four) last time; only 3lb higher than for that last success and has claims if things go to plan back on AW. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 4 (3) |
17th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 17y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
In good form prior to capitalising on the step back up in trip to win at Lingfield (1m2f, good to firm) last month; had just a short head to spare but he's only 3lb higher today and can be bang there once more. |
7/2 |

28th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

Running consistently well in defeat on AW this season, finishing placed at Wolverhampton on last two starts (9.4f); there's every chance this three-time turf winner will be thereabouts. |

Only one win to his name since August 2022 but it did come at Brighton (1m, good to firm); placed in three of his last five starts; could prove vulnerable for win purposes again. |

Swallowed up at Epsom last month, having kicked clear too soon in hindsight; in good form (212) at Brighton otherwise this summer but Windsor is an unknown; first run here. |
