19th Jun 2026 Good 1m 3f 218y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Wide-margin winner here on heavy ground over 2m in October 2024 and followed up with a smooth success at Newbury (2m, heavy) next time; a beaten favourite at Nottingham (soft) 590 days ago and it's likely he'll need his first start since over a trip short of his best. |

3rd 10 (2) |
26th Oct 2024 Heavy 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Bumper/hurdles winner at around 2m; first switched to Flat in late July, racing over 1m initially before his staying-on sixth of 14 from the back on Flat handicap debut at York (soft; 33-1) 14 days ago; duly raised his game when stepped up to 2m here yesterday, making most and beating all except the easy winner; big player if he's in the same form today. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 6 (3) |
25th Oct 2024 Heavy 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Bumper/hurdles winner at around 2m; has had only five races on the Flat, with 1m looking inadequate on first four occasions and 1m2f the same with his staying-on sixth of 14 from the back on Flat handicap debut at York (soft; 33-1) 13 days ago; dropped 2lb and it's not hard to think that he will be a lot more potent this time with the much longer trip. |

Bumper/hurdles winner at around 2m; only had four races on the Flat and a 1m has looked inadequate; however, even 1m2f might not be far enough for him. |

29th Aug 2025 Good 1m 6f 44y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Gained his only career win in this 12 months ago when 3lb lower and perhaps unlucky not to have won last week at Lingfield (2m AW) given the trouble he found in running; good or quicker ground might be ideal but effective on good to soft. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 6 (8) |
21st Aug 2025 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Sole win was at Salisbury (1m6f) last August but he's a reliable type who has hasn't been beaten far in his two runs this season including a clear second at Salisbury; looks worth another try at this trip and he's still unexposed on AW; shortlisted. |
7/2 |

6th Jun 2025 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Well suited by a stiff 1m6f and his clear comeback second at Salisbury a month ago has been boosted by the winner going in again since; only 1lb higher and his claims are obvious. |

13th Sep 2025 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Won over 2m (good) here in June and the saddle slipped on his return visit the following month; can probably forgive him his Ascot run as well as that was a Class 3; could find this trip on the tight side, though. |

25th Jul 2025 Good 1m 7f 209y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Had an excuse (saddle slipped, eased) last time when bidding for a Chester double; well suited by 2m but remains on career-high mark and this is a better grade than he usually runs in; difficult task. |

23rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Usually consistent, but her modest effort at Goodwood (2m, soft) last time was disappointing given she does handle any ground; needs to bounce back from that. |
5/1 |
|
4th 6 (1) |
7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
10-58 overall for this 9yo, with none of those races at this track; can make the running; won at Ffos Las (2m, heavy) last September (by 12l) and Nottingham (1m6f, good) this May; not far away when third of four at Lingfield 12 days ago in hat-trick bid and has an each-way chance. |
9/1 |
|
3rd 4 (1) |
26th May 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Course winner (2m) who bids a for hat-trick after wins at Ffos Las (2m, heavy) last September (by 12l) and on her Nottingham return under Donagh Murphy (1m6f, good) 17 days ago; only 2lb higher and much respected. |

25th Oct 2024 Heavy 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Won handicap debut last July and minor honours in four of five races since; twice runner-up in the mud, including when never nearer in 13-runner race at Bath (upped to 1m5f) on latest start; wore tongue-tie for both starts this term; bit to prove with the extra 3f today, against proven stayers. |

1st Oct 2024 Soft 1m 5f 11y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Runner-up on heavy at Nottingham (1m2f) last October; entitled to have needed her comeback run when third of five at Ffos Las (1m4f, heavy; first-time tongue tie) nearly five weeks ago; stamina isn't totally guaranteed over 1m5f. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 3 (3) |
30th Aug 2024 Heavy 1m 3f 209y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Won on the back of a similar absence to today's on last season's reappearance and handicap debut (1m2f, good); seemed to cope okay with the heavy ground when second at Nottingham the final time (winner won easily); stays okay and tries a tongue-tie. |

13th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Six-time winner, with four at Windsor (11.4f) and two on Polytrack (1m2f/2m); her last success was off 2lb higher last autumn but she's been disappointing in last two runs and needs to get back on track. |
25/1 |

3rd 1 (6) |
18th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 68y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Has six wins, the latest at Windsor (11.5f, good) last September off this mark; has run respectably since and has won over 2m but needs a true test to be fully effective. |
7/1 |
|
4th 3 (5) |
25th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Consistent mare who scored three times at Windsor (11.5f) last term and has posted two creditable efforts at Lingfield (latest over 2m) this year; C&D record reads 312; solid claims. |
