20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Six AW wins for Stuart Kittow including over C&D in his final run last season; returns for Zoe Hawkins after 238 days off but he's only 3lb higher than last time and has claims if he can pick up where he left off; market should be useful. |

1st 8 (1) |
24th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Three of top five RPRs achieved here; shaped better than finishing position suggests at Southwell on Sunday and didn't get the breaks when fourth to Arctic Dawn the time before (C&D); won't really benefit from stall 1 given his style of racing and there isn't loads of pace on paper; wears just a tongue-tie. |

21st Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |

All five wins have come over 7f on the AW, including here, but he has run well over this far; losing run up to 12, but has dropped to a fair mark (1lb higher than when last successful) and could sneak into the frame; visor now given a go. |

1st Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Multiple wins include four over C&D; his losing AW run goes back two years but he's on a handy mark now and showed he can make it pay when close up at Bath (1m) recently after getting checked in his run; blinkers return and Oisin Murphy rides for the first time; can be involved. |

Made a winning reappearance in a maiden over C&D in May and added a narrow success in a handicap at Newbury (7f, good to firm) in July; looked a non-stayer at Wolverhampton (8.6f, Tapeta) last time, but worth a second look back at this trip after a short break. |

9st 8lb |
Kickstarted 2026 with 6f success at Southwell and comes here on the back of a good third of 11 in 7f Kempton handicap; this three-time C&D scorer must enter calculations. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 3 (5) |
20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Nine-time winner (6f-7.4f), who defied this mark at Southwell in January but he's been well held in three runs since; now drops back in grade but he needs to get back near his best. |

All five wins on the AW and not a lot wrong with his recent efforts at Kempton and Southwell, the latest a 7f Racing League Handicap; stays this far and can again make presence felt. |

29th Aug 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |

Behind a couple of these over C&D last month but he signalled he was ready to strike when second at Kempton two weeks ago, coming from well back having been dropped in from a wide stall; 3lb rise shouldn't prevent a bold showing. |

23rd Aug 2024 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Showed ability when fourth in her first two starts last year and had little trouble in beating three rivals in a weak Brighton maiden (7f, good to firm) on her last outing; makes her handicap debut after 318 days off and the market should be revealing. |

9st 13lb |
Front-runner who ended a lengthy losing run when making all in a handicap at Brighton (7f, good to firm) a week ago; drops in class but this is the shortest trip he has tackled, which is a concern (all five wins over 7f). |
6/4 |
|
1st 8 (4) |
29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Four wins include one over C&D (good) in May 2024; hasn't scored since August of that year but he's now 20lb lower and latest fourth of 13 at Doncaster (7f, good to soft) was a solid effort despite hanging; should enhance creditable Brighton form figures of 21424. |
4/1 |
|
4th 13 (3) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |

0-30 on AW but he's won four times on turf (7f); struggled during the winter but he returned to this scene with a respectable effort at Yarmouth (6f, good) last month; should benefit from that run and he's in the mix on this step back up in trip; cheekpieces reapplied. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has a patchy profile but he's won twice at Newcastle (6f, AW) this year and bounced back with a creditable third at Haydock (6f, good to firm) three weeks ago; that was an eye-catching effort from off the pace and he's respected back up in trip. |
7/1 |

3rd 11 (4) |
25th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
8st 8lb |
It took a drop into classified company for him to return to winning ways in February (6f, AW; blinkered first time; final run for John Butler); gained a second Newcastle win of the year last month but he raced far too freely back there on Monday; up in class today and likely vulnerable. |

Won twice over 7f for Karl Burke as a 2yo; not much to celebrate since but his stable debut in January (C&D) wasn't without hope and he's now 10lb lower; not solid but a big run wouldn't be a bolt from the blue. |
