23rd Jun 2026 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Six-time Flat winner; opened account over hurdles at Uttoxeter (2m7f, good; refitted cheekpieces) last month, after a break, and ran at least as well when close/clear second over that C&D three weeks later; can make presence felt again over this longer trip. |

24th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Multiple Flat winner who was contesting only his second handicap over hurdles when winning with the front two clear over C&D (good) three weeks ago; a 6lb rise isn't the end of the world by any means. |

2nd May 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 5 |

Showed fair form on his third hurdles start when runner-up at Stratford in October; below that form when fifth of seven at Exeter (2m7f, good to firm) on his handicap debut later that month; still early days and may show more here. |

9st 12lb |
Suited by slow ground and was runner-up over 2m at Chepstow and Newbury in the summer but his form nosedived at Ffos Las last month; has something to prove again after that and he's an infrequent winner. |

10th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Prolific winner, mostly on AW and at 1m6f-2m, including C&D; 1lb higher than when scoring here in February; not quite as good in two subsequent starts but looks a player back up in trip and with the same claimer up as for that most recent success. |

19th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 133y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Held on to win at Kempton (2m, AW) in February and posted a solid effort when fourth at Southwell (2m, AW) 84 days ago; off since and this drop back in trip probably isn't ideal on his first outing on turf since September 2023. |

13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 3f 137y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Both wins on all AW but runner-up three times on testing turf; has a reduced mark but that's as a result of him being off for 595 days; the betting should help guide to expectations. |
14/1 |
|
2nd 12 (13) |
26th Oct 2024 Heavy 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Both wins were AW but best turf results were on soft/heavy; latest start (following two good AW runs) wasn't one of them, and that was also on soft, but he's been second and first in his two races under Frederick Tett. |
9/1 |

1st Oct 2024 Soft 1m 5f 11y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Has done well in recent weeks, winning and finishing runner-up on the Polytrack at Lingfield (2m); feasibly weighted - 3lb above last winning mark - and, while he's yet to score on turf (0-6), he has shown he acts on soft and heavy ground; plenty of positives. |

23rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Usually consistent, but her modest effort at Goodwood (2m, soft) last time was disappointing given she does handle any ground; needs to bounce back from that. |
5/1 |
|
4th 6 (1) |
7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
10-58 overall for this 9yo, with none of those races at this track; can make the running; won at Ffos Las (2m, heavy) last September (by 12l) and Nottingham (1m6f, good) this May; not far away when third of four at Lingfield 12 days ago in hat-trick bid and has an each-way chance. |
9/1 |
|
3rd 4 (1) |
26th May 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Course winner (2m) who bids a for hat-trick after wins at Ffos Las (2m, heavy) last September (by 12l) and on her Nottingham return under Donagh Murphy (1m6f, good) 17 days ago; only 2lb higher and much respected. |

No impact in two runs for her new stable last month; should be well treated and interesting to see if she's stronger in the betting today. |

Won a 1m4f Flat handicap for Ed Walker in July 2022 and over hurdles in September 2024 for Richard Phillips; well beaten at Southwell (1m6f, AW; 20-1) on stable debut nine days ago and needs to leave that effort well behind. |

4th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 47y Class 5 |

Thorough stayer whose wins have all been at about 2m; arrives in reasonable form and has placed on two of his three C&D visits; might be the one to follow Laravie home. |
5/1 |

3rd 1 (1) |
10th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 5 |

Thorough stayer whose wins have all been at about 2m, his two AW successes coming on Tapeta; 4lb higher than the most recent of those and has each-way claims. |

8th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 209y Class 4 |

All five wins at 2m, including three on soft going, latterly at Catterick in October; went back-to-back at Newcastle (AW) at the start of the year and fourth at Ripon (2m, good) on latest outing was close to his best; same mark, so needs to find extra, but he can't be ruled out. |

12th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
2m1f Flat winner in 2023 (on heavy) and she also won for Stuart Kittow twice over hurdles early in 2024; runner-up twice from her three races for Kevin Philippart de Foy this May-July, all on AW, and is now back with her former trainer; one to consider seriously. |
11/2 |

2nd 2 (8) |
13th Jul 2025 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
2m Flat winner in 2023 (on heavy) and she also won twice over hurdles in spring 2024 for Stuart Kittow; both runs for new yard were over 1m4f on Tapeta recently, with a lesser effort last time (despite starting favourite) but she could prove more potent with today's step back up in trip. |
9/1 |
|
5th 2 (6) |
28th Jun 2025 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Won twice over hurdles in spring 2024 for Stuart Kittow; pleasing start for new stable when 4l second of eight at Wolverhampton (1m4f; 15-2) last month, rallying; can build on that run and may go one better. |
11/2 |
