16th Jun 2026 Good 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Ended winter AW campaign with respectable fourth in February and kept on for third when back over hurdles at Newton Abbot (2m2f, good) three weeks ago; also suited by this track and can go well again; swaps cheekpieces for refitted visor. |

3rd 3 |
27th May 2026 Good 2m 2f 110y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Bumper and four-time Flat (1m2f/1m4f) winner who is ideally suited by fast ground; respectable fourth on AW when last seen in February and he's on a workable mark back over hurdles; needs close look for in-form yard. |

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

Out of the frame in all four starts since returned to the AW, but his fifth of ten over 1m2f here in December suggested that all may not be lost; now 6lb lower than for that effort and 8lb lower than when last successful; interesting. |

17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
10st 0lb |
He's had a long career but never been better than this season, winning at Wolverhampton (9.4f) and Lingfield (1m4f) with a close third in between; they were all on AW in March/April under Olivia Tubb and he's not raced since, with turf runs in the last two years hinting that he's not quite so good in this sphere; also, the last time he raced on firmer than good was 2022. |
10/1 |

1st 2 (1) |
27th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Kickstarted 2026 with success at Wolverhampton (9.5f) in March and backed it up with a good third of 12 in another 9.5f handicap there since; this C&D scorer can go well again off the same mark. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 4 (12) |
20th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
His first seven wins were all gained over 1m4f/1m3f, with the latest of those last October, but he then made all under Olivia Tubb in a six-runner race over C&D 13 days ago; that win was by a neck and he's been raised 2lb since, but a wide draw complicates today's task. |

6th Jan 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 4 |

Major improver in 2023 with four wins (1m2f-12.4f) for Sir Mark Prescott, and he wasn't far off his best when third of 13 over 1m4f here on stable debut in December; shapes as if he'll stay this longer trip; respected. |

3rd 1 (1) |
20th Dec 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Major improver with four middle-distance wins for Sir Mark Prescott (three on AW) since June; tailed off at Epsom on final run for that trainer but was reported to have had an irregular heartbeat and he still looks feasibly treated on his penultimate form; changed hands for 20,000gns in October and needs watching in the market on stable debut. |

Recorded his 12th AW win when scoring at Wolverhampton (8.6f) last month but he flopped under a penalty there eight days later; has bit to prove again after that heavy defeat but he has won three of his last seven starts and is capable of bouncing back. |

22nd Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Beat a serial loser of late over C&D three weeks ago, taking Hector Crouch's record on him to 2-2; 4lb rise is of no great concern considering he's been rated much higher in the past; handy draw. |

Nine of his 12 wins have been on AW, the latest from 5lb higher at Chelmsford (1m, Polytrack) in March; not beaten far into fourth of 13 at Brighton (1m, soft) last month and he has to be of interest in this field. |

3rd 6 (2) |
27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |

Very busy and he's had his share of wins, including four (one here) over 2m in 2025; AW has dominated his career; three of his last four turf starts were respectable and he's edging down the weights, so not entirely dismissed. |

Very busy and he's had his share of wins, including four over 2m in 2025, but that's been mostly on AW which has dominated his career; best turf ratings two and three runs back before tailed off (might have overdone it up front) at Goodwood latest; again has just four rivals today but others are preferred. |

Was snapping a losing run when prevailing narrowly at Lingfield (1m4f) but then followed up over the same C&D ten days ago, defying a 4lb penalty without being overly pressed; only 2lb higher for this despite another penalty, but stamina for 2m is unproven. |

Five Flat wins in 2024, culminating in this race (1lb lower today); well suited by ploughing through the mud and best result this term came on soft, when runner-up at Yarmouth (1m6f) in July; ran respectably here on good to soft last time and a bold show seems likely if he's in the mud today. |
