9st 5lb |
Placed three consecutive times in the autumn (1m2f-1m4f) and built upon encouraging seasonal debut when gaining breakthrough win here (1m2f, good) ten days ago; drew clear of the others with the runner-up that day and could still be well treated after a 2lb nudge. |

9st 5lb |
2-36 with one of his wins coming here (1m2f, good to firm) in August last year, the other at Lingfield (11.6f, good to firm) in June; placed five times from six starts over C&D this year, but below form on soft the last twice; could do with the ground drying out, but considered if it does. |

15th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 3f 198y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Got back on the scoresheet with an emphatic win in classified event at Lingfield (11.6f) in June; ran to similar level when runner-up over C&D last month but his form has nosedived in last two runs; now drops back in grade but has a bit to prove again and he's a frequent slow starter. |
14/1 |

11 (10) |
11th Sep 2025 Good 1m 2f 17y Class 5 |
8st 7lb |
Used to be a notorious slow starter but he's been a bit better in that department since the summer and it was a solid effort in this headgear combination when second of five at Brighton (1m4f, good to firm) three weeks ago; stayed on from the rear when third in an amateur riders' race over that C&D 12 days later; this is a notch above the standard he regularly contests, though. |

4-38; no win since last summer and yet to score beyond 11.5f; has struggled through the majority of this year, finishing last on three occasions, including at Windsor (11.5f, good to firm; 16-1) four weeks ago; others are far more obvious candidates. |

Ex-Martin Dunne, winning for him at Yarmouth in May (11.5f, good); missed the break and pulled too hard on stable debut at Windsor last time (11.4f, good to firm; first run after a break); should be better for that run |

Wins have come over shorter round easy, undulating courses and he's regressed in recent times; it's been the best part of two years since he ran well on turf and he's some way down the pecking order. |

13th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Twice narrowly beaten at Ayr (2m4f, soft) in the winter but he has struggled to get competitive at Musselburgh, Ayr and here in his last three starts; mark is manageable and trainer won a division of this last year with Follow Charlie but he needs a revival in fortunes. |
12/1 |

6th 9 |
24th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Dual Flat winner who showed best hurdles form when going very close at Ayr (2m4f, soft) in January/February, latterly to The Coffey Boy; does need to shrug off two lesser runs since, though. |

Dual Flat winner who showed best hurdles form when going very close at Ayr (2m4f, soft) in January/February and ties in with The Coffey Boy on the latter effort; had excuses (unsuited by the track and/or removal of hood) at Musselburgh since; has been taking a good hold and may benefit from this drop back in trip; possibilities. |

Course winner (extended 1m3f) on last April's reappearance; ended that campaign with some lesser efforts but he returns on a feasible mark and can't be discounted. |
8/1 |

20th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Five-time turf winner, the latest over an extended 1m3f at Bath in April; finished second in four of his next five starts but his form has dipped the last twice; should be fully effective on AW and he's one to consider. |
6/1 |

Has course form; yet to win but she ran some good races on AW for Alexandra Dunn, including when close up, after getting checked, behind a subsequent winner at Wolverhampton (1m4f) in March; sold for 2,000gns in early June; worth a look for in-form new yard. |

Close third over 1m4f at Wolverhampton on her penultimate run but down the field there next time and she's now 0-33. |
