24th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Course specialist who landed his sixth win on this track earlier this month, in a C&D classified; beaten at odds-on over 7f here 24 hours later but will be more at home back over 1m and must be on the shortlist. |

3rd 4 (2) |
6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
8yo who has worked his way back into form this season and he won a 1m classified here yesterday under Molly Gunn, which was his sixth course win; strong claims under 4lb penalty if running again today. |

1st 5 (7) |
5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 216y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Gained five of his 11 wins at this track; not at best in three handicaps since returned to turf in June but was only beaten about 2l when fifth of seven at Windsor (1m, good to firm) last time and is strong interest in this lower grade and with cheekpieces refitted. |

28th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Course regular; his latest third (8.6f) was a remote one behind an easy winner but it was still a creditable effort; no sign of age denting his enthusiasm and he should make another bold bid. |
8/1 |

16th Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Three wins here in the winter to take his course tally to 11 but he's rather lost the plot since and doesn't often go beyond 7f these days; needs a revival. |

18th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Competitive on the Flat and over hurdles for Tim Vaughan since the autumn but was not at her best on latest appearance 18 days ago and others in this line-up have much stronger claims. |

31st May 2025 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |

Fairly consistent (albeit without winning) on the Flat and over hurdles for Tim Vaughan since the autumn; dropped another 1lb since this month's Ffos Las fourth (2m, good); could have a say in this. |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has plenty of form over C&D including two wins; losing run up to 18, but he has never raced down at this level before so can't be dismissed by any means; stable also runs Sorted. |
5/1 |

6th 2 (4) |
13th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Has done all his winning at about 1m, including four times at Bath; has bits of 1m2f form but doesn't look the percentage call; losing run is mounting up. |
8/1 |

5th 6 (2) |
4th May 2026 Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
10st 9lb |
Four C&D wins on good or slower (handles good to firm, not at best in one run on firm); not at his best this year but that is reflected in his much-reduced mark; risky but not impossible. |

Has won twice since joining Mick Appleby in July and was a good second over C&D last month; only 1lb higher here but his form slumped at Newcastle last time and he needs to bounce back after that. |

9st 5lb |
Defied a 10lb higher mark at this course (1m, good) last August; placed effort in 0-50 classified event here (1m, good to soft) eight days ago is inferior form; however, well treated if raising her game. |
10/1 |

3rd 4 (8) |
9th Jul 2023 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Her form has gone the wrong way this year and she's been well beaten at Musselburgh the last twice; however, she doesn't have a good record there whereas she's run several good races here, including when fourth of six over C&D as recently as May; could play a major role now back here. |

29-race maiden; her best form for previous stable came over 7f (unraced over shorter) but she's been tailed off in two runs for Paul Midgley; something to prove. |
