21st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Won the corresponding race 12 months ago off a 1lb higher mark (for today's rider); solid efforts on last three starts and he's a leading contender. |

4th 2 (4) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 14y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
3lb higher than when winning this race last year, but is off the same mark as when following up at Salisbury (1m, good to soft) next time; looked unlucky not to go even closer when third of eight at Epsom (8.5f, good to firm) 15 days ago and is respected. |
6/1 |

9st 11lb |
Returned to form with second in amateur riders' race at Brighton (1m, good to firm) last month and is still on a good mark but has become far too inconsistent to rely upon, and his habit of starting slowly is another worry. |

17th Feb 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Back to form when second over C&D nine days ago on his first run for 11 weeks; likely he'll need more in this field but he was rated much higher when starting out for this yard last spring. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 7 (1) |
8th Feb 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Made an encouraging return to the AW when beaten 2l into fifth of 12 here (6f) in November, but would like to have seen more from him at Wolverhampton (8.6f, Tapeta) 11 days later; losing run up to 19 and others preferred. |

16th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |

Five C&D wins include this race for the last two years; not particularly convincing on 2025 form but has a good chance off current mark provided he's back on song. |
14/1 |
|
6th 1 (10) |
7th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Five C&D wins, three of those in cheekpieces on soft; has struggled for form this season (0-6), making only minimal inroads from the rear at Epsom (7f; eighth of 12; 50-1) latest; competes from an easing mark. |
12/1 |

8th 12 (9) |
11th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Two C&D wins earlier in career; conditions have been against him during the hot summer but he won the two most recent soft-ground races he contested, over 7f at Brighton last autumn, so the more rain the better; yard has won the last four runnings. |

Losing run on turf goes back to 2021 and his best form is at up to 1m2f; well held when favourite over that trip at Windsor recently and has much to prove back over 1m4f; yard also runs Beggarman. |

5th May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

Has failed to score on turf since 2021 but is interesting with Oisin Murphy back on board; form under this rider features an Epsom success and close second over C&D (last May). |

Six-time winner who is well treated on best form; however, below par during a light 2024 campaign and failed to revive on reappearance; best watched unless the betting suggests otherwise. |

9st 12lb |
Off the mark on turf when readily seeing off nine rivals in a 7.5f Class 6 handicap at Lingfield (good to firm) last month; third under a penalty five days later when the ground may have gone against her; another career best required to defy this mark though. |
4/1 |

3rd 1 (9) |
31st Jul 2023 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Opened her turf account here (7.5f, good to firm) last Wednesday, scoring in a manner that suggest she'll cope well with 5lb penalty; back up in grade but still respected with Harry Davies again on board. |

Got up late to win a 7f handicap at Chelmsford last September off a 3lb lower mark; may well have needed her reappearance and she's of interest with that behind her and with Harry Davies taking 3lb off her back. |

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. |
11/4 |

3rd 4 (2) |
6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |

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. |
9/4 |
|
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. |

10 (2) |
13th Oct 2022 Good To Firm 0m 7f 216y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Well handicapped on his AW exploits and he's run just four times on turf, but he was well beaten in May/June on his last two encounters with grass and has something to prove on this surface; blinkers go on. |
