17th Jul 2025 Good 1m 0f 68y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Big prices and out of the frame in three starts since returning in April, albeit he met trouble when finishing in midfield in the Carlisle Bell (7.7f, soft) last month; 4lb lower than for the latest of two wins in April last year; interesting. |

25th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Two wins last April (1m, AW/soft) and he's 1lb lower than when last successful; the return to slow turf could also be a plus; however, he's failed to shine on either outing this season and has something to prove. |

11th May 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
7yo who has an impressive 8-28 strike-rate and is effective on Tapeta; he may have needed his comeback run at Newmarket last month but was beaten a long way at 66-1, and he was also below par last May/July on his final two outings last season; plenty to prove. |

4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 61y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Runner-up twice in February (including C&D on soft) before making it 14th time lucky over hurdles in 2m4f Sedgefield handicap (good) last month; he and the runner-up came well clear of the third so he should competitive off 6lb higher. |

10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 188y Class 5 |

0-13 over hurdles and becoming rather frustrating but came second twice over 2m3f last month (soft/good to soft) and seems very likely to be in the shake-up again here. |

24th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 66y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Last Flat win came in November 2023 and he's 0-12 over hurdles; however, he ran well when second off this reduced mark at Carlisle (2m3f, soft) last Monday and can be in the mix if backing that up. |

15th Jul 2026 Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Winless since 2022 and nothing like as good now; failed to build significantly on reappearance when sixth of ten over 1m at Chepstow (good) last month and the losing run seems likely to continue |

15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |

Winless since 2022 and nothing like as good now; entitled to have needed his C&D comeback at his age nine days ago after a lengthy layoff but finished well held. |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |

Last of two wins came in September 2022; seemed to find his level again last year when making the frame four times; has been absent since last August though and needs to hit the ground running. |

14th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 80y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Exposed six-time winner who has performed moderately in her last two races over 1m; on the plus side, she hasn't had many chances at 7f over which she was a close fourth on her comeback. |
14/1 |

7th 5 (1) |
27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 14y Class 5 |

Two of her four wins have came at this track, one over today's distance; fourth in both starts this year but may be vulnerable to younger rivals. |

14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Gained last season's win over 1m2f and made an encouraging reappearance when finishing strongly for close fourth over 7f at Chepstow (good to soft) last month; sure to be suited by this move back up in trip and remains on a workable mark; shortlisted. |

15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
10st 12lb |
Trainer-jockey combination won this last year and this gelding is on a career-low mark (won for Brodie Hampson last June off 9lb higher); needs to bounce back from a few poor efforts, though, and may just be on the downgrade now; headgear comes off. |
10/1 |

11th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
7lb lower than for his Newbury win last summer; second of 11 at Lingfield (1m, AW) last month but that has been followed by two heavy defeats; comes with risks attached. |

10th 1 (6) |

16th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Epsom specialist who predictably ran well in sole Brighton attempt; well treated on lots of 7f form; gives 1m a belated second go. |
8/1 |

6th 7 (7) |
28th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Epsom specialist who has form figures of 3127 in this race, the win in 2022; on a two-year losing spell but ran encouragingly (third to Kisskodi) over C&D most recently; possibilities off current mark. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 9 (5) |
11th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Has form on all surfaces; won this in 2021 and 2023, and finished a close second in 2022, but he was well beaten when favourite here 12 months ago and his form has been quite mixed this year; he's a possible reviver back in this race but he hasn't justified shortish prices on last two starts, including over C&D, which leaves questions to answer. |

Two Flat wins in Britain; had struggled in handicap hurdles until much more encouraging third at Downpatrick last week under positive ride in first-time cheekpieces (despite mistake last); headgear surprisingly left off here but major player. |

8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y |
10st 0lb |
Prolific winner at around this trip, latest in Gowran claimer nearly a year ago; 0-9 for current yard but Down Royal second to Faoladh puts him in the mix on ground he'll handle. |
12/1 |

8th 2 (6) |
11th Jun 2026 Soft 0m 7f 35y |
10st 0lb |
Two wins last year on good ground, including at Roscommon off 80; bounced back to form with encouraging third at same track last month before backing that up under positive ride at Down Royal 13 days ago when 1.5l second to Faoladh; definitely capable off this mark but soft ground a concern. |
8/1 |

2nd 3 (12) |
29th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y |
10st 0lb |
Two wins last year on good ground for different trainers, including 7.5f Roscommon handicap off 80; now 10lb lower plus talented claimer takes off another 5lb; got his favoured ground when eyecatching third of 14 at Roscommon from tough draw 18 days ago; big chance. |
