12th Jun 2026 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Mainly seen on the AW these days, but he did win three times on turf as a 3yo; interesting to see how he fares in the market on debut for Tony Carroll (same owner). |

2nd May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Recorded his tenth win when scoring at Wolverhampton (2m, Tapeta) in January; held his form with creditable efforts in next three starts but his good spell came to a halt at Lingfield last month; has bit to prove again after that heavy defeat and his last turf win was in 2022. |

3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |

Three course wins have come over 1m4f, but he has won over this sort of trip elsewhere; finished half a length behind St Faz when third of four at Southwell (1m6f, Tapeta) and now 11lb better off; each-way claims. |

26th Aug 2023 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Disappointing favourite at Ascot (2m, soft) last month and something to prove after that, but this lightly raced 4yo was progressive previously with wins at Bath (11.6f, soft) and over this C&D (good), and perhaps the first-time tongue-tie will help him bounce back to form with a big run. |
15/8 |
|
5th 5 (4) |
28th Jul 2023 Good 1m 7f 209y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Had wind and gelding operations and a change of stable last autumn; returned with improved efforts to win at Bath (11.6f, soft) in April and Newmarket (1m6f, good; ridden by 3lb claimer) in June, holding off Traila by a neck in the latter; up another 3lb but 2m looks well worth a go and he's a lightly raced 4yo who retains potential. |
2/1 |

1st 5 (7) |
24th Jun 2023 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Creditable third in a Newcastle handicap (1m4f, AW) on his final run for Michael Bell last season; had wind/gelding operations after that; well backed on his stable debut at Bath (11.6f, soft) in April and he stayed on well for a last-gasp win; 8lb higher on this step back up in grade but he's still lightly raced and is open to more progress at this new trip; respected. |

10st 0lb |
Ended last term with heavy defeats in the Irish Cesarewitch and Group 1 Prix Royal-Oak; up to that he'd had a cracking campaign in handicaps, in which the first of three wins came over C&D first time out (his last AW run), and he still looks on a highly competitive mark if reappearing at the top of his game. |

Two 1m6f wins on her record, the latest on turf off a 1lb lower mark in June; generally held her form since, third of eight at Chelmsford 11 days ago, but more needed to come out on top here. |

Switched to front-running this year, including with Tapeta wins over 1m4f here in March and 2m at Southwell in April when last seen; that's career-best AW form but this race is a much higher grade and should be much harder to boss. |

13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 26y Class 5 |
8st 7lb |
Gained three of his nine wins over this C&D and gave good account when staying-on third over C&D (good) a week ago; still on the same workable mark and has another big role to play. |
5/2 |

3rd 3 (6) |
6th Jul 2026 Good 1m 5f 26y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Gained three of his nine wins over this C&D; disappointing favourite when well-held third of six at Hamilton (1m5f, good to firm) 11 days ago but won over 1m3f there a week earlier and has claims if judged on that form. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 4 (5) |
25th Jun 2026 Good 1m 5f 16y Class 6 |
11st 1lb |
8yo who won here (1m3f, good) last Wednesday on his second start back from a break; he'll be fine back up in trip and Kayleigh Williams made a dream start to her riding career when winning on a stablemate this month; strong claims under a 4lb penalty. |

16th Jun 2025 Standard 2m 0f 120y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Three 2m wins on AW in the first half of last year; last success was off 4lb higher but the wheels have come off since the autumn and he was tailed off at Kempton (after another wind op) last month; has lots to prove and he needs a major revival. |
12/1 |

28th May 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 5 |

Won three times on the AW in the first half of last year, the latest over C&D from 1lb higher in June; the wheels appear to have come off since the autumn, but he returns from three months off after a second wind operation; interesting to see how he fares. |

6-24 on AW but 0-12 on turf; recent efforts have been underwhelming and he's probably better suited by 1m4f; not the percentage call. |

20th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 4 |

Six-time AW winner but he's 0-11 on turf and has struggled at Newmarket (1m4f, good to firm) and Hamilton (1m5f, good) in last two runs; now drops back into a Class 4 event but he has plenty to prove back at this trip. |
16/1 |

17th May 2026 Good 1m 5f 16y Class 3 |

Six wins (latest in February) from 24 AW starts but 0-10 on turf; Newmarket 15 days ago saw first turf race since 2023 and he came last of eight. |
