17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Two wins in September 2024 included one over 1m here; that's from 25 races and he's not done much this season; this trip is a big new move but he has been well held in his three 1m2f races. |
25/1 |

24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |

Two wins in September 2024 included one here (7f, good), but losing run now up to 14; drops to this level for the first time, which offers one ray of hope. |

15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Well held all four runs this season but has had excuses with one thing and another, latterly when drawn out of it over C&D nine days ago (among the favourites); has gone well here previously and is one to consider off a career-low mark. |

Dual handicap winner over 1m here and finished third of nine in a 0-55 handicap over C&D in March, but has gone quiet again since. |
9/1 |

5th 8 (9) |
13th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |

Both wins have come over C&D but latest was in January 2025; finished third over 7f here in March but he's struggled in both subsequent runs and others are preferred. |
20/1 |

8th 10 (4) |
29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 6 |

Both wins on Lingfield AW but runner-up twice from six starts here; having run so poorly back on turf last time is the big stumbling block. |

9st 3lb |
Won here over 7f in February either side of wins over this trip at Kempton; encountered a wide trip when down the field in a higher grade than this last time and he may well be able to bounce back. |
8/1 |
|
8th 11 (8) |
28th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
8st 7lb |
Arrives seeking a four-timer, two of the wins over C&D, and he hasn't been treated punitively by the assessor having gone up just 6lb; this is a much stiffer test of his credentials but there are no doubts surrounding his wellbeing. |
12/1 |
|
1st 6 (8) |
4th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Has started 2026 with wins over C&D and in a small field at Wolverhampton (7f); only 1lb higher on the hat-trick bid but this is more competitive and he's drawn widest. |

3rd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Winner here this time last year (1m) and also won in early September 2024; well drawn for one happiest on the sharp end, so there are positives under experienced 7lb claimer Donagh Murphy. |
8/1 |
|
5th 6 (3) |
4th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Two wins and several solid efforts in defeat round here, all over 1m (won over 7f on the turf course last summer); back on her last successful mark and is one to consider under Donagh Murphy, who has plenty of experience for 5lb in this company. |
5/1 |

29th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Six-time winner, including twice on Polytrack at Lingfield, and her first two runs of the campaign were encouraging; below that level on turf last time but she is the type to bounce back. |

Made a successful handicap debut over C&D in April and was a good second next time; however, poor in his last three races and now goes in headgear. |

17th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Acts on good to firm and soft; runner-up off 7lb higher here (1m) in June but he's not come close to that form since; had an excuse when upped to 1m2f here last time but his losing run is mounting up and others look safer; change of headgear. |

8th Oct 2024 Good To Soft 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |

1st Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 6 |

Four wins divided between turf/AW; has looked cold in two runs after a break and he's unraced here; not the percentage call. |
16/1 |

10th 7 (11) |
16th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |

Both AW wins (his latest) were on Kempton Polytrack in November 2024; effective over C&D, edging down the weights and often not far away but others are preferred for win purposes. |

6th 10 (1) |
30th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

Both AW wins have been on the AW at Kempton in November 2024 (7f/1m); creditable third of 13 at Lingfield (7.5f, good) in May and now switches back to the AW having been off since; place chance. |

13th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |

Won three times in the second half of 2025, including here (5f); mixed bag in 2026 but he is capable at this level and shouldn't be discounted; stable also run Real Gold. |

5th 8 (2) |
8th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Hard to predict and was well held at Salisbury last time but he looks interesting on his third in a Newbury handicap (6f, good to firm) in June; has claims if he can recapture that form and his last win was at this track. |

9st 9lb |
Two 1m wins in spring 2024, on AW and at Yarmouth (good to firm), but most of her efforts for this yard have been ordinary and she hasn't been in remotely good form on her last two starts. |
6/1 |
|
4th 4 (5) |
22nd Jun 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

A dual 1m winner in 2024 but she's yet to hit top form this term, beating only one in 1m handicap at Chepstow 40 days ago; others are preferred. |

10th 8 (3) |
13th May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |

None too consistent but she's slipped to a basement mark and there was more encouragement to be gleaned when a close fourth at Nottingham last month (first-time cheekpieces, retained); 11lb lower than for her Yarmouth win 13 months ago so needs a second look. |

2nd Oct 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Record of 1-22 and well held at Windsor last time but that was after a solid spell, including a second at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) on his penultimate run; 1lb lower here and could be dangerous if he gets a good pace back at this trip. |
8/1 |

16th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 0f 31y Class 6 |

27th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Won over C&D in January; runner-up at Southwell (1m6f) next time and has won over 1m6f at Wolverhampton and Southwell on his two starts since; his wins have been narrow ones, meaning he is climbing the weights only slowly, and there can be optimism this progressive 5yo has more left in the tank. |
7/2 |
|
1st 2 (5) |
13th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
In fine form lately with wins at Lingfield (2m, Polytrack) and from a subsequent winner at Wolverhampton (1m6f, Tapeta); finished runner-up over this C&D in between and although up 3lb, is likely to be bang there once again. |
