Proved some ability remains when 20-1 second in 1m Lingfield handicap in September but this very inconsistent veteran has been back in the doldrums again since. |

25th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

Four-time winner for Harry Eustace, the latest at Brighton (7f, good) last August; not ruled out on her seasonal and stable debut (remains in same ownership) but she'll need to be at the very top of her game. |

First three wins were at 1m but got a good pace to chase over Brighton's 7f last time and collected with a bit in hand; has never won off this high a mark (raised 3lb) but has it in her to put that right. |

14th Jan 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

C&D winner who ended a lengthy losing run when scoring off a reduced mark here (7f) last month; up 4lb and was way below that over this trip at Chelmsford (Polytrack; 25-1) 12 days ago; bounce back required but that's not out of the question. |

17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
8st 5lb |
Some fair efforts on AW during the winter and he hit the frame plenty of times on turf last year; hard to rule out a good run after a short break but he's not won since 2023 and others are preferred. |
12/1 |

4th 2 (4) |
10th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |

Won four times on Flat AW; always behind before being pulled up on hurdles debut at Worcester (2m, good to soft; 80-1); best watched. |

15th Sep 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Four-time AW winner, always in low-grade handicaps at around 1m; struggled when upped to 1m4f for recent stable debut and looks too risky on this first start over hurdles. |
33/1 |

All five of his wins have come over C&D, the latest in April off 4lb lower; absent since a modest effort here in June but he has gone well fresh in the past. |
8/1 |
|
2 (5) |
10th Jun 2025 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Not the easiest but he does like this track (all five wins have come over C&D) and he again ran well when beaten half a length by Educate here six weeks ago; 2lb better off and this race may be more truly run which should suit him; respected. |

19th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Infrequent winner but she's reliable at a low level and comes here on the back of six solid turf runs this year; well drawn for a prominent racer and she's likely to be involved once again. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 4 (3) |
10th Aug 2024 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has very modest 1-37 strike-rate but scores high marks for her consistency; most of her recent form is over 7f but she can cope with today's drop back in trip and probably won't be far away. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 10 (2) |
24th Jul 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 213y Class 6 |
10st 8lb |
Very consistent, running well in the cheekpieces the past twice (deal better off with Gilt Edge than when third to her last month), but has only won once; may be the one to take them along under a jockey taking just her seventh ride. |

Hasn't beaten many in her eight starts, including both runs for this yard since returning last month; needs the longer trip to bring about plenty of improvement; stable also runs Chocolate Hobbnob. |
33/1 |

5th 8 (9) |
3rd Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 6 |

Seven-race maiden who has weak claims on form; never figured over 1m at Bath (66-1) on stable/seasonal debut; best watched unless the market speaks positively. |
25/1 |
|
11th 12 (3) |
17th Jul 2024 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Showed little for recently retired Paul Webber; makes stable debut following 11-month layoff; cheekpieces worn on her last two starts are dispensed with and she's probably best watched. |

Four-time C&D winner, the latest last July when 1lb lower; has been well beaten in both subsequent starts, the latter back here last November; bit to prove after that but dangerous to rule him out. |
10/1 |

10th 2 (3) |
6th Nov 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

All four of his wins have come over C&D, the latest off 2lb lower in July (good Topspeed figure for the grade); unsighted behind Dourado on turf in July but likely to be seen in a more favourable light here. |

Out of the frame in all 11 starts and hasn't been getting home in his last few outings over further after having done plenty early; drop back in trip makes sense on return from four months off but still hard to warm to. |
