18th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Kicked off this campaign with two wins in a row (7f, good to soft/AW) before solid second at Newmarket (1m, good); didn't run badly in mid-division in Class 2 at Epsom (8.5f, good to soft) last time and he could be in the mix back down in grade. |

Acts on soft ground; better than ever this season, winning at Doncaster (good to soft) and following up at Southwell (again 7f, AW); solid second to Sterling Knight (1m, good) last time but he'll need more from the same mark. |

Was becoming frustrating and only beat two rivals at odds-on in a 6f Southwell maiden 22 days ago; however, has the ability to threaten off this mark should that be a springboard to better things. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
10st 5lb |
Belatedly ended a long losing run with a smooth defeat of Ramon Di Loria over C&D last week; looks well in under a 5lb penalty and his claims are obvious. |
10/11 |
|
1st 1 (8) |
13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Has modest 1-22 strike-rate and is better known as a sprinter but kept on for respectable fifth at Thirsk (7f, good to firm) recently; drops in grade here and is well worth another crack at this trip; interesting. |
6/1 |

Over two years since his sole success and well held in two starts this year; on a dangerous mark but that has been the case for some time; returning to 7f not enough to tempt. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

7f winner on the AW early in the year but seems to have lost his form and finished last at Yarmouth two weeks ago; fair bit to prove. |
20/1 |
|
6th 4 (8) |
26th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Dual turf winner who scored on AW at Chelmsford (7f) in January but he's been well held back in this sphere in last two starts; now 2lb lower than for his last success but he needs to get back on track; cheekpieces reapplied. |
14/1 |
|
7th 8 (11) |
1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Produced a strong finish to win a competitive 7f handicap here as a 3yo; first win since when making a successful stable debut at Chelmsford in January (7f); in and out since but he's on a winning mark and the ability is there if things pan out favourably. |

Regressed sharply last year and has been tried over various trips of late; one of his better efforts over 1m here last Tuesday but is worse off back out of handicap company and no certainty to repeat the dose. |

Won over this trip at Newmarket last autumn for Mick Appleby but three turf runs for current yard have been well below par; bit to prove. |
25/1 |

5th 6 (6) |
28th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Reappeared for new yard with a near-miss at Kempton (6f, AW) in March but he's struggled at 50-1 back on turf in last two runs; got hampered early on at Ascot last time but he's hard to predict and needs to bounce back near best. |

26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Inconsistent 5yo whose losing run goes back 27 races and he was below par at Wetherby last week, however he was a close second at Ripon (6f, good) prior to that and is effective here; each-way claims if back on song. |
12/1 |

15th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 110y Class 6 |

Nine-race maiden whose best efforts have come on AW; latest Lingfield third (6f, good to firm) wasn't too bad but he will need more to come out on top here. |

0-7 but second or third four times, including when third of six on last month's Lingfield return (6f, AW; first start since being gelded); each-way claims if stepping forward for the run and responding positively to the blinkers. |

4th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Raced on unfavoured part of the track and eased once beaten at Goodwood two days ago on seasonal debut (effort best forgiven); can enter calculations on plenty of 2025 form, including a May success (beat Strike) over C&D. |

2nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

All three wins have been at 6f but she ended last season with a creditable second over this trip at Newmarket (good); has gone close when fresh in the past and she's a player if she can pick up where she left off. |

Runner-up in two of his six starts on turf, the latest at Salisbury (7f, good) in May, and he may have just needed the run at Lingfield (7f, good) 11 days ago; one of his half-brothers won on the AW and so did his dam, so he may find a bit more improvement for the new surface. |
