20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Four-time course winner (1m-1m2f) but his last success was over 2m on AW last March; on dangerous mark but he's returned from a lengthy absence with two low-key runs this summer including over C&D; bit to prove and needs to rediscover his spark. |
20/1 |

6th 9 (11) |
23rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Course winner who has dropped 2lb lower then last successful and has twice won off the back of an absence; however, he didn't show enough back from 313 days off at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) this month to be of immediate interest. |
14/1 |

6th 5 (2) |
1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Four-time winner over 1m/1m2f here; back off his last winning mark and has twice won after an absence, but whether he can do so after 313 days off is a moot point; may also need further than this now. |

25th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
Pulled hard and didn't see it out on his hurdling debut last month; two wins for Roger Teal came in the spring but it's hard to find many other positives on this Tapeta debut in a first-time tongue-tie. |
25/1 |

6th 3 |
24th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Fair performer at his best in 23-race Flat career (most for Roger Teal; two runs for this yard) which includes two 1m wins; hooded on latest outing and today; probably best watched on hurdles debut. |
20/1 |

Never landed a blow at Lingfield (1m2f) on stable/seasonal debut but may fare better with that outing under his belt; has gained both turf wins over 1m and produced his best AW effort over C&D; hood applied. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 113y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Returned to form with second in amateur riders' race at Brighton (1m, good to firm) last month and is still on a good mark but has become far too inconsistent to rely upon, and his habit of starting slowly is another worry. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 2 (3) |
21st Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 5 |

14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Did well last year (three wins; one over C&D) but is yet to strike form after three starts this season and slow starts have become a serious issue; goes without usual blinkers today; comes with risk. |

20th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 23y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Two course wins on slower than good, the latest off 2lb lower last September; added a 1m2f success at Lingfield in January and his subsequent modest effort at Nottingham may have been needed after three-months off; more appealing than many. |
7/1 |
|
9th 3 (8) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Back to winning ways on Lingfield's AW (1m2f) in January; his four successes prior to that all came on turf (including 1m here) so he should remain competitive off only 2lb higher if fully primed after three months off. |

12/1 |

5th 8 (11) |
30th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
It was a narrow verdict over 8.6f here four weeks ago and he went up only 3lb; with that run under his belt and being a triple C&D winner, he should feature again if able to overcome a wider than ideal draw. |
7/1 |
|
1st 6 (4) |
2nd Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Won three times over 9.4f here last year and ended that year with a keeping-on second over that trip; returns from two-month break on fairly tough mark, though, and this drop back to 8.6f is not ideal. |

9st 6lb |
Four wins here (three over this trip) and has dropped 2lb below his last winning mark; defied a five-month absence as a 3yo, but his reappearance efforts in the meantime suggest this first start in seven months may be needed. |

16th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 5 |

22nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |

Dual C&D winner who traditionally peaks in the summer; showed enough in three runs over 1m round Bath in the spring to suggest he's still up to winning at this level if he gets one of his better starts and the race pans out his way. |

Three hurdle wins this season, most recently when given a nicely judged Joe Anderson ride from off the pace over C&D (good) 12 days ago; 4lb rise is not excessive but the ground may have turn against him now. |

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 |

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. |

Revelation on her final start at Bath last autumn (2m1f, soft; first run since wind surgery) when winning easily off 3lb lower; was sent off 11-1 for the voided Lingfield 0-60 handicap on her intended return 24 days ago; market useful. |

Missed the whole of 2023 but has been consistent in handicaps since last summer; didn't enjoy a clear run when third of six over C&D last month, but was still well held and that didn't really prove her stamina. |

Lightly raced for her age; proving consistent for this yard, again making the frame when fourth of seven over 9.4f here in January; chance hinges on her staying this much longer trip (some encouragement from pedigree). |

Seven-time AW winner but he's finished a well-held seventh at Kempton in last two starts; on much lower mark back on turf and he's just 1-11 in this sphere; that win was a narrow success off 4lb lower; others preferred. |
