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. |
9/1 |

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. |

10th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Habitual front-runner; reeled in after going off a bit too hard over 1m at Brighton recently but won over 7f there (good to firm) two starts ago and has the ideal draw here; could take some catching. |

Ran well when third of 12 on his reappearance over C&D this month (Rogue Dynasty second), but all six wins have come over 7f including when recording his fourth course success back here eight days ago, for which he has a 4lb penalty. |

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. |

8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |

Has seven wins and usually at his peak in the summer months but below his best at Bath on his last two starts; others preferred. |

22nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Dual C&D winner who traditionally peaks in the summer; showed enough in three runs over 1m round Bath in the spring to suggest he's still up to winning at this level if he gets one of his better starts and the race pans out his way. |

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. |

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. |

5th Apr 2026 Good 2m 1f 169y Class 5 |

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. |

11-time winner, with five on turf and six on AW; his last success was off 2lb higher at Southwell in March but he's struggled since and needs to get back on track. |

25th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 6 |

Came from off the pace when winning at Southwell (7f, AW) in March but he's been below that level in three starts since; all five wins on turf have been at Brighton and others have stronger claims. |
