1st 7 (5) |
18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
All three wins on turf have been achieved on this course (7f/1m); beaten around 9l in two comeback outings in recent months but eased 3lb and capable of bouncing back to form to a form with a bang. |
9/2 |
|
4th 10 (11) |
10th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 3y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
All three wins on turf have been on the Newmarket July course (7f/1m) but he has been placed in two of his three starts over this C&D, including on soft; never featured on his reappearance 25 days ago and needs to build on that. |
16/1 |
|
10th 9 (4) |
16th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Inconsistent last term but won on the other Newmarket course (1m, good to firm) last June and he kept on well for third over 7f here (good) in September; possible player if at the top of his game on this reappearance. |

21st Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Back off the same mark as when winning over 7f here in September; has won fresh so the four-month absence not a major problem, but he has never tackled a trip this short before; blinkers are given a go. |
12/1 |
|
7th 2 (4) |
17th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Boasts a decent record in handicaps round here (two wins and two seconds from six starts) and ran better than his final position suggests over C&D from a wide stall two weeks ago; one to consider. |
12/1 |
|
9th 3 (9) |
3rd Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Didn't get home at Southwell (7f, Tapeta) last month, but his record in handicaps around here reads 21412, his latest win coming over this trip in November after six months off; still just 1lb higher and respected; stable also runs Bungle Bay. |

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 |
|
4th 5 (2) |
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 |
|
5th 4 (4) |
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. |

26th Sep 2023 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Largely consistent since beginning this year with two 1m Polytrack wins (one here) and lost out only narrowly after enduring a wide trip at Kempton three weeks ago; has to take a 3lb rise on the chin but probably won't be far away. |
12/1 |

2nd 2 (4) |
6th Sep 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Some creditable efforts on turf this summer prior to backward steps the last twice; has form figures of 211 in 1m handicaps on Polytrack and looks interesting back in this scenario. |

28th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
He was winning for the 13th time when seeing off eight rivals over C&D last month; backed it up with a close second at Lingfield 24 days ago; more appealing than many. |
100/30 |
|
2nd 5 (3) |
4th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Three C&D wins but perhaps even more effective on Tapeta; had the benefit of Jack Callan's claim when successful at Wolverhampton (7f) last month and although back up 3lb he's perfectly capable of finding another race off this mark. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Infrequent winner; did score over C&D last July off a 3lb higher mark though and his latest Ffos Las second (7.3f, good) was a sound run; each-way shout. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 5 (7) |
30th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 80y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Infrequent winner who was again turned over as favourite when never happy behind Prince Ali last time; wants a good test over this trip these days and others make greater appeal. |
5/1 |

5th 5 (3) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |

Generally consistent but doesn't win too often; hasn't been far away of late and regularly makes the frame; has place claims. |

2nd Sep 2024 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Triple AW winner who was a respectable fourth in classified event at Yarmouth (1m, good to firm) last time, but that took her turf record to 0-12 and she still has stamina to prove at this trip. |
5/1 |
|
4th 5 (4) |
19th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Lacks consistency on turf but goes well here and did better on her second run back from an absence behind two of these over C&D last time; is better off with both tonight, which brings her into the equation. |
7/1 |
|
5th 2 (4) |
30th Jul 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has run well on turf but her wins have come on the AW; ran poorly on her comeback from eight months off eight weeks ago (pulled hard after the blindfold was slow to come off for the second race on the spin) and has something to prove after that. |

11th 8 (5) |
30th Sep 2023 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Ran his best race over 6f in March (Wolverhampton) but hasn't lived up to that early promise and the visor is not doing a lot for him. |
10/1 |
|
9th 4 (12) |
21st Sep 2023 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Has not lived up to initial promise and his four handicap runs have not been persuasive; hooded twice before visored on latest start. |
