27th Jun 2023 Good To Firm 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Without a win since summer 2020 but has made the frame three consecutive times in cheekpieces in recent weeks (5f-6f), and competes off another career-low mark here; sports first-time visor for this first run at Brighton. |

30th May 2023 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
On a long losing run but is on a handy mark and ran his best race for a while when chasing home a well-treated one on Southwell AW 19 days ago; likes these conditions (all four wins on good to firm) and is likely to go well. |

11th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Three wins last year, two of them over C&D, and she has run some good races in defeat in 2025, including C&D; saw no daylight when a close fifth here 13 days ago and that was a Class 4; good chance back into Class 6. |

29th May 2025 Good 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |
8st 7lb |
Dual 6f course winner; runner-up here (6f, good) and at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) last month but below her best when favourite and only sixth of eight at this track (7f, good to firm; Dark Side Thunder third) 15 days ago; possibilities if that can be forgiven. |

28th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Multiple winner down the years; solid effort on turf three weeks ago and won't mind getting back on AW; looks the likeliest of Phil Mcentee's three runners. |
12/1 |

5th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Latest of his 11 wins came at Lingfield (6f, AW) in January and he went close at Wolverhampton next time; fair effort over 6f at Lingfield 36 days ago but this slight drop back in trip probably isn't ideal. |
7/1 |

30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
11 wins, the latest off basement mark over C&D in January; largely consistent since and may benefit from this drop back in trip, having raced too freely when fourth over 7f here on latest outing; back from two-month break. |

Multiple Bath/Brighton winner but scored over C&D in 2017; mainly disappointing since last win in summer so, although he should be better for last run, is easy enough to take on. |

24th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Nine-time winner; good runs few and far between in 2025 and he made a low-key return to action over C&D two weeks ago; revival not out of the question but others look safer. |
16/1 |

7th 2 (7) |
10th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Most recent wins were over 5f/5.5f for Darryll Holland in August and September 2024; some fair runs since and just as effective at 6f but lacks a recent outing; back with a former yard. |
10/1 |

11th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Nine-time winner, including once here (5f), and currently 6lb lower than for his last success; returned to Darryll Holland ahead of his fourth of eight at Brighton 11 days ago; market useful with the stable also running Kodi Red. |

27th Jun 2023 Good To Firm 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Now 9lb lower than when winning here (5.2f, good to firm) last summer but has been out of form this year and needs today's change of headgear to perk him up (usually wears cheekpieces). |
14/1 |
|

20th Jun 2023 Good To Firm 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
9lb lower than when gaining his second course success here (5f, good to firm) last summer, but little sign of taking advantage of his reduced mark lately; failed to beat a rival back here (5f, good to firm) three weeks ago and switch to blinkers from cheekpieces needs to make a big difference. |
12/1 |
|
7th 1 (2) |
30th May 2023 Good To Firm 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Showed little on the AW since returning in January (underwent wind surgery before latest outing) but both turf wins have come over C&D (good to firm); 5lb below his latest winning mark and worth a second look; stable triple-handed. |
6/1 |
