Tumbling down the weights and one to be interested in when the stable emerges from the doldrums. |

17th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Well handicapped on his Sandown win (5f, good) last July but has mixed record since and he's been well held in three runs this year; now drops back in grade but he needs to get back on track. |
20/1 |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Has won just once since April 2024, at Sandown (5f, good; from 6lb higher) last July; joined this trainer soon after for 15,000gns, and runner-up on stable debut; nowhere near his best in three starts this year, including when twelfth of 20 at York (6f; 50-1) latest. |

6th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Ten-time C&D winner, mainly from the front, including twice earlier in the year, latterly off this mark; this company a bit warmer than he's used to and there's other pace in here, so he'll need something close to a career-best effort. |
16/1 |

9th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 60y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Front-runner who is 11-61 on the AW, but 0-6 on turf; has a bit to prove and will probably need the ground to dry out in any case. |
20/1 |

6th 8 |
29th May 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Cracking 8yo who has won two Polytrack races in every season for the last five years; however, he finished behind Spendmore Lane and Ancient State at Lingfield recently and the return to Tapeta looks a negative. |

1st Sep 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 60y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Two wins this season, the latter from the front over C&D (good to soft) in May; also suited by good to firm ground and last month's down-the-field finish here can be excused (stumbled leaving stalls) but others in this line-up look better handicapped; finished last of 13 in first-time visor here yesterday. |
6/1 |

31st Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 215y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
In a good vein of form, including at Brighton, until losing his chance at the start last time; however, raced mainly at about 5f and this belated return to 6f presents a question mark; change of headgear. |
10/1 |
|
1 (11) |
6th Aug 2025 Good 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Resurgent 8yo who handles most ground and has form figures of 231212 since the end of March; put in a dominant display (good to soft) in May and was just nabbed last time (also C&D, good to firm) in June; up another 1lb but remains well handicapped on old form and he's a big player back from a two-month break. |

11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Gained a second win of 2026 at Carlisle (5f) in May but he's been well below par over C&D and at Newcastle since; needs to take a big step forward. |
10/1 |
|
8th 9 (14) |
26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Two wins in 5f Class 5 handicaps in 2026, at this track in February and then when beating Fierce at Carlisle three weeks ago; stable form is a plus but he needs to bounce back from a quiet run at Hamilton. |
10/1 |
|

4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 7y Class 5 |

Hit and miss but it was career win number nine when narrowly scoring at Carlisle 17 days ago (5f, good), coming from off the pace; 4lb higher here. |

2nd Feb 2023 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Successful twice last spring, including over C&D off 2lb higher; not in the same form since and finished behind Harb when returned to this track three weeks ago; needs to raise her game. |

2nd Feb 2023 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Back in better form last month and finished first past the post (demoted for causing interference) at Newcastle on latest start; back up 2lb but is on last winning mark and should remain competitive. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 4 (8) |
20th Jan 2023 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Completed a hat-trick on turf/Tapeta last summer and having dropped 2lb below his last winning mark, he ran better when third of six at Wolverhampton (5f, Tapeta) 11 days ago, finishing less than a length behind Bellagio Man; each-way claims if continuing his resurgence. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 2 (3) |
9th Jan 2023 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
The third leg of his summer hat-trick came off 2lb higher at Doncaster but he's finished down the field in his last three runs including twice at Southwell this winter; has won over this C&D but he has a bit to prove and needs to get back in the groove. |

6th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Made all over 5f on seasonal debut and finished second on both starts since, latterly under Cara Tuke in 14-runner C&D (soft) contest 16 days ago; evidently in good nick; ought to give another good account. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 5 (1) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
He has returned from a break in top form, winning a 5f handicap at Hamilton (good) before a solid second at Carlisle (5f, good to soft) 11 days ago; returning to 6f no issue and he will be fine if it rains; should go well. |

12th Jun 2023 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Front-runner; 5lb lower than for his Chelmsford win in December; fully effective over C&D and he's likely to make a bold bid. |
6/1 |
|
6th 8 (4) |
22nd May 2023 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
C&D winner who scored at Chelmsford in December but he's not easy to predict and dropped out at Ascot (5f, good) 19 days ago; may have needed that after a short break but he needs to get back near his best. |
20/1 |
