15th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 42y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
No great love for softer surfaces these days, but her present good heart still carried her to second at Lingfield latest (good to soft); record of 13412 in C&D class 5s includes June's win (good to firm); chance. |

22nd Jul 2025 Good 0m 4f 217y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Refound some form last two outings for first and second at Yarmouth; best efforts last year were better still but, despite form on testing ground earlier in career, she came last of six on last season's two runs on soft. |

27th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 42y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Won this race last year off a 5lb higher mark and came back to form when pulling away with one other over C&D a fortnight ago; has had her moments at the stalls and isn't the most consistent but will rightly be popular. |

10st 0lb |
Six AW wins on his record, three of them at this track; solid third at Lingfield on Good Friday, on second run for this stable, and he's undergone wind surgery since; promising apprentice takes off 5lb and he's one to consider. |

Ran creditably on his stable debut at Southwell 12 days ago and returning to 6f won't be a problem; not sure he's ahead of his mark though. |

9th Aug 2023 Good 0m 5f 60y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Dual 5f AW winner this year; ought to have handled the soft ground better when down the field at Chester last month but was creditable second from awkward draw there (6f, good) two starts ago; no surprise if he makes a bold bid from the front here. |
12/1 |

7th 8 (3) |
14th Jul 2023 Good To Soft 0m 5f 110y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Two front-running wins at Lingfield (6f and 5f; AW) this year; good second over 6f here four weeks ago (drawn wide); better berthed today and still feasibly treated; may have stablemate Recon Mission to worry about for the early lead. |

8th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 212y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Two-time turf winner (5f, good to firm) who was running well in defeat on AW in the winter; back up in grade for his reappearance but he's still feasibly weighted and the betting will be useful. |

17th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
10yo who is without a win on turf since June 2021; it's possible he doesn't want soft/heavy ground nowadays; however, having dropped down the weights he's run well to make the frame on grass the last twice and might not be far away if handling conditions. |
6/1 |

4th 7 (1) |
7th Jul 2024 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Veteran who is usually ridden by Mia Nicholls, whose brother Jack now takes over; ran encouragingly at Ripon (5f, good) most recently but it's three years since his last win on turf; others preferred. |
13/2 |
|
3rd 7 (9) |
5th Jun 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
10yo who has been beaten on his last 11 starts; however, he was in fair form on AW this spring prior to Chelmsford a fortnight ago, when suffering interference at the start, and he's an each-way possible off a reduced mark. |

2nd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Placed in a classified stakes and a Yarmouth handicap (both over 5f on good to firm) earlier in the summer; not so good last time (6f); all four wins have been on AW, including over C&D; should go well. |
6/1 |

6th 9 (1) |
17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Prominent racer; beaten favourite in two 5f handicaps on fast ground this summer but he has still run with credit; stays 6f but still seeking a first win at the trip. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 1 (4) |
2nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 42y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
0-31 on turf but scored off 3lb higher on AW in December and returned from ten-week break with pretty good third in 0-70 grade at Doncaster (5f, good to firm) last month; major player in this grade. |

21st Oct 2023 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Looked on the way back to form when second of 11 at Southwell in August but he followed it with a lesser run over C&D seven weeks ago (always on the back foot after a slow start); should get a good pace to aim at and headgear is now reached for; not dismissed. |

1st Sep 2023 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
1-18, having won at Chelmsford (5f, Polytrack) in February, when 3lb higher; inconsistent since then but, as he showed at Southwell last week, he is capable of being very competitive. |

17th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Stable stalwart with 13 wins; not the force of old and contests his first classified; can't discount but likely to find one or two too good. |
7/2 |
|
6th 3 (5) |
5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
11st 0lb |
Both wins on turf have been on ground slower than good and his last four wins have been on the AW; beat only one rival home at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) 19 days ago and now drops back in trip with promising amateur Henry Callan taking over in the saddle; visor back on. |
16/1 |
|
5th 4 (5) |
17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Solid strike-rate on AW but not so good on turf and latest sixth of 12 at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) will need improving on; nothing wrong with this mark, though. |
