1st Oct 2024 Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Five-time turf winner on a variety of ground, but has shown precious little in nine starts for this yard despite a plummeting mark; market should indicate whether a revival is expected. |

Five-time winner over 5f on turf; out of form since joining present yard, but has dropped to a good mark and may do better on return from a break. |

20th Oct 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 42y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Multiple winner but has not been great of late, in this new headgear combination for last two races (slow ground not an obvious excuse); others preferred right now. |
7/1 |
|
8th 7 (9) |
16th Oct 2026 Heavy 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Only fifth of nine over C&D (soft) last month but went off too hard in first-time cheekpieces (retained); completed a hat-trick on soft/heavy ground last autumn and he was also on the scoresheet at Sandown (5f, good) this June; all those wins came under Grace McEntee who is back on board today. |
14/1 |
|
5th 8 (3) |
5th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Multiple sprint wins on ground ranging from good to heavy; back to best when making all at Sandown in June and he might have needed the run there last week following a break; now goes in cheekpieces which raises a question as blinkers weren't a successful addition in the past. |

5th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Multiple wins, three over this C&D; has run some fair races on turf since the latest of them in January and anything approaching his form at the turn of the year would put him in this picture. |
12/1 |

7th 15 (3) |
13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 2 |

Three-time course winner; came from further back than ideal when a never-dangerous fourth behind Geemann here last time; possible. |

Placed over C&D twice in a row in July (firm) and respectable fourth at Windsor (6f, good to firm) since; this three-time course winner is high on the list. |

2nd Oct 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Stuck on a losing run but has never been lower in the ratings and latest fourth of ten at Sandown was in a higher grade; one to consider. |
7/1 |
|
4th 12 (7) |
16th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
8st 7lb |
Six-time winner but his losing runs stretches back to October 2024 and a career-low mark saw him only finish fifth of 11 at Windsor (5f) last Monday; however, his sole appearance here, when a runner-up in 2023, was has second-best effort on RPRs and he'll probably pop up again at some point; 1lb out of the handicap. |
20/1 |
|
5th 5 (2) |
7th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Losing run up to 18, but he has dropped to an attractive mark and has won twice and been placed five times from 12 starts over C&D; one to be interested in. |

9st 4lb |
5yo mare who recorded her sixth AW win when scoring at Southwell (5f) last month; record of 0-10 on turf but she's 4lb lower back in this sphere and she ran well for a long way at Windsor in August; not ruled out. |

27th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Recent form-figures look less than encouraging but she returned from a short break with a respectable fourth at Windsor and then showed up well for a long way over 6f at Lingfield; now returns to the C&D of her last three successes and she's back to her last winning mark; might be the answer. |

Exposed 9yo but in a consistent run of form and bang there on good to soft and good in his last two races; go back far enough and he has competitive form on soft. |
5/2 |

3rd 7 (4) |
12th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |

2nd 7 (2) |
31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 16y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
1lb out of the weights, but still 6lb lower than when gaining his sixth course success in this race last year; 0-19 since, but placed nine times and has winning form on soft ground; may be worth chancing. |

2nd Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
1-15 but has been running well since returning from seven months off in May, including when second of ten in his only previous start down at this level; beaten just over a length into second of six in a 0-55 handicap over C&D nine days ago and that reads well in this company. |
11/4 |

2nd 4 (6) |
23rd Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 16y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
6f win at Salisbury on his seasonal return last month; series of good runs in defeat since but needs to raise his game judged on latest Bath effort (behind Darkened Edge and lucky to finish in front of Coco Hill). |
4/1 |
|
3rd 9 (9) |
14th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |

Won at Salisbury on his reappearance and he has finished second over 5.7f here on his last two starts; should give it another good go. |

Still a maiden after 17 starts but she's dropped a long way in the weights and was a clear second over C&D (heavy; blinkers added) 11 days ago; that was a bold bid and she looks interesting off same mark here. |

6th Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
2-45, with the latest win coming at Bath (5.5f, good) last July; tailed off on his return at Salisbury (5f, good to firm; reported to have had a respiratory issue) two weeks ago; has form over this far but others are currently preferred. |
20/1 |

23rd Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has a poor strike-rate and is the only runner who lacks recent match practice, having been absent since last October; best watched unless the market speaks favourably. |
33/1 |

5th 9 (8) |
31st Oct 2024 Soft 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Had a good record at Bath until tailed off here (5f, heavy) last time in first-time blinkers; however, the ground may have been too much and he's back in cheekpieces today; has shown promise on soft going; could go well. |
