23rd Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Course regular who led close home to score over C&D (good) last month; reportedly unsuited by the soft ground when well beaten here 16 days ago; current mark is workable if she's back on song. |

7th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Notched a third course win when ending a losing run over C&D 17 days ago (unlucky Vape not far behind in sixth); got messed about a bit herself and has a fair chance of defying a 3lb rise. |

Suffered lots of defeats since last win nearly two years ago, though went down by a short head at Salisbury (6f) two runs ago; she was entitled to run better here last week over the 7f, though. |

15th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 216y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Four course wins, all over 7f on fast ground; only 1lb higher than for the latest success (June) but his more recent efforts have been unconvincing and an easy lead is unlikely. |
20/1 |

23rd Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
11st 5lb |
All six wins have come at this trip, the latest when making all to win well at Brighton (good to firm) in June; took a step back in the right direction when fourth in a Class 4 over that C&D one month ago; interesting on this drop in grade. |

Four C&D wins to his name, the latest in June off 4lb lower; an easy lead would seem unlikely and this opposition may prove too demanding. |

12yo who was disappointing here (1m) last Tuesday but did too much too soon in that amateurs' race; had previously been running consistently well (including over C&D) and he may well bounce back with a bold bid. |

9th Jun 2023 Good To Firm 0m 7f 216y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Losing run goes back to 2019; however, shaped encouragingly in first-time blinkers here (7f; third start for new stable) last month when back from an absence; possibilities off a handy mark in the retained headgear, with this return to 1m looking ideal. |

19th Oct 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
0-5 here but runner-up the once; won off this mark at Salisbury in July and back to form in new blinkers at Brighton (fourth); the obvious concern is that all eight wins have been at 6f or 7f. |
8/1 |

4th 9 (8) |
28th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Two C&D wins, both on good to firm; narrow winner of a 7f amateur jockeys' race at Salisbury in July and although lesser efforts over 1m have followed, he has possibilities back at 7f; new blinkers replace a visor. |
33/1 |

21st Mar 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Won at Wolverhampton (7f, Tapeta) last October and now 2lb lower; however, he hasn't been at the same level on either outing this year and needs to raise his game; just one win from his last 17 starts. |

23rd Feb 2024 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
1lb lower than when gaining his fourth C&D success in October, but out of the frame in three starts since; well backed last time, though, so interesting to see if the money comes for him again now returned here. |

10th 5 (8) |
8th Feb 2024 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |

String of good runs on turf and AW last season and there were feasible excuses for his last two defeats (drawn wide/raced close to a strong pace); handicapped to be competitive. |

24th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 162y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Fair Flat racer who opened hurdling account at fifth attempt, at Plumpton (2m2f, good) last month; not quite in same form when fourth there (2m, good) a fortnight later but still enters calculations. |
6/1 |

4th 1 |
19th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Fair 1m2f Flat scorer; progressing really well in this sphere and she cosily got off the mark over 2m2f here two weeks ago; up 3lb but this strong-travelling sort is capable of better still; leading claims. |
100/30 |

5th Apr 2026 Good 2m 1f 169y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Five-time Flat winner at an ordinary level; lightly raced hurdler who ran well for a long way on her handicap debut at Wincanton (1m7f, good to soft) and she'd approve should conditions be drier here. |

30th Aug 2023 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |

Has the ability to win races off his lowly mark but he can flatter to deceive, as when fourth here two weeks ago (7f); others safer on balance. |

9st 5lb |
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 |

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. |

Gained a fifth success over 7f here in February; off five months, not discredited with fourth of seven in 6f Epsom handicap in July; can't be discounted after another break. |

30th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 5 |
