18th Oct 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Not straightforward and 0-15 on the AW but he's capable at this level and has often run well at this track; needs to leave a modest stable debut behind him. |

2nd Oct 2023 Soft 1m 5f 11y Class 6 |

Mostly in good form since winning over 1m3f at Windsor in June; stamina should be fine over this far but he was recently taken out of a soft-ground engagement; new trainer. |

Runner-up over 2m on the Lingfield AW in August when returning from nearly a year off but subsequent races haven't gone so well and now back from another lengthy break. |

28th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 3f 179y Class 6 |

Gained his wins on soft ground and the AW; tailed off last time at Southwell but previous run after an absence was respectable; considered. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Won three consecutive times in refitted blinkers last June/July, most recently off today's mark over C&D (good to firm), but made a low-key reappearance three weeks ago and needs that run to have brought him on. |
8/1 |

6th 6 (5) |
9th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 179y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Bagged a hat-trick (including over C&D) last summer and he signed off for 2025 with a solid third in 1m6f Wolverhampton handicap in October; has won off a break too. |
14/1 |

20th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 6 |

Completed a hat-trick at about 1m4f this summer and probably matched all that form when second over 1m4f here four weeks ago; should be fine over this far and rates a solid contender. |

14th May 2026 Good 1m 6f 44y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Six-time Flat winner who scored a fifth win on turf when taking Sandown handicap (1m6f, good) off 2lb lower in July 2024; also a multiple winner over hurdles who was on the premises when taking heavy last-flight fall at Plumpton just over one year ago; interesting to see how he goes in the market ahead of this comeback. |

20th Apr 2025 Good 2m 4f 114y Class 3 |
11st 3lb |
Gained two of his five hurdle wins at this track and was second in Sussex Champion Hurdle here (2m, good) just over a year ago; returned from seven-month break with encouraging third at Bangor (2m3f, good; form working out well) in March and has slipped to a workable mark; can make presence felt. |

2nd Aug 2023 Soft 1m 3f 179y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Off the mark at the tenth attempt when scoring at Nottingham (1m6f, good to firm) in June but she was held in a 4l third over same C&D last time; that was a respectable effort but she needs more back at this trip and is untried on slow ground. |
10/1 |

3rd 4 (5) |
8th Jul 2023 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Has worked her way back into form for new stable this season and just held on to prevail by a neck when upped to this trip here (good to firm) nine days ago; still unexposed over 1m6f and 2lb nudge ought to be manageable; high on the list. |
7/2 |
|
1st 7 (4) |
29th Jun 2023 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Form tailed off for previous yard and has taken time to find her feet for this one after wind surgery; didn't do anything in a hurry at Yarmouth recently (extended 1m3f, good to firm) but made relentless late headway to be a close third to in-form rivals; of interest up in trip. |

A 12-race maiden for Michael Bell but was placed a few times and stayed well; it was his first time on proper soft ground when down the field on stable debut at Gowran and should do better. |

took keen hold, disputed lead, pressed leader with one circuit to go, pushed along from 3f out, soon outpaced, rallied but hung left from under 2f out, no extra final 110yds |

30th Sep 2024 Yielding To Soft 2m 5f 147y |

Hurdles winner last summer and creditable effort on second chase start when not beaten far at Wexford (2m3f); is up a good bit in grade and 2lb wrong. |
9/1 |

30th Aug 2024 Yielding 2m 3f 100y |

Locally-trained mare won over 2m3f at Cork last year and twice ran well afterwards, including here; hasn't sparked at all this year though, and going up in grade hardly a help. |

Last won in February 2022 and has been absent for 387 days; well treated on form early that year but there is more for him to prove these days on turf, including as sole run on softer than good was a heavy defeat. |

Record over C&D reads 12171, but despite market strength he ran terribly on his return from 16 months off here (1m6f) 15 days ago; has a lot to prove after that, but interesting to see if his backers return. |
