11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
The winner of 14 of his 48 starts, including two 5f handicaps this season; dropped away when seventh to King Of Light over 6f at Windsor 12 days ago; others look better handicapped. |
16/1 |

29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Course specialist; in prime form, having won at Bath before suffering a luckless run on this track, then a convincing winner here (also 5f, good to soft; acts well on good to firm) since; that trip seems to suit best though and he has more to prove off 6lb higher in a better race. |

8th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 21y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Useful strike-rate and 4-6 over 5f for Oisin Murphy; can lead; versatile regarding tracks but he won his first two C&D starts (including this race when 3lb higher) and gave the principals too much rope back here in May, albeit he still found only an improved one too good; best form on good or quicker ground and rarely asked to tackle slower surfaces. |

6th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Unbeaten (2-2) under Oisin Murphy until finding traffic in the Windsor race he'd won last summer a fortnight ago; unlikely he'd have won there but he's consistent, fine round here and on a winning mark, so is one to consider. |
4/1 |

6th 9 (3) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Won a less-competitive renewal of this last year under Oisin Murphy (currently 2-2 on him), to further enhance a good course record; arrives in good form, remains on a workable mark and holds decent claims once more. |
5/1 |

2nd 2 (4) |
12th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Has registered two wins apiece on AW and turf; back from a break with a near miss at Nottingham and a length defeat at Goodwood, again over 5f on good ground; should run well again from stall 4; has form on all sorts of surfaces. |

17th Oct 2024 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

With only one win (last November) in more than two years and not being so good this season, he is some way down the pecking order. |

19th Sep 2024 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Should be competitive off this mark and he didn't run badly at Newcastle last week; on the downside, he's another that likes to be on the sharp end and he's drawn wide to boot. |

Notched a first success in over two years in 7f handicap at Lingfield last month; needs to back it up off a 5lb higher mark here in a change of headgear. |

Denied clear run before keeping on to snatch respectable fourth over C&D (good) last month but remains without a win since 2024 and is not the percentage call. |

1st Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Won two of her first four starts but her progress has stalled since a Lingfield handicap win in April (6f, AW); others look safer now she returns to turf. |

20th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Holds weak claims on his form this winter for new yard; possibly found 5f too sharp last time but returning to 7f may not be the answer; 6f has looked his optimum trip. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
2-2 over C&D (both in 2023) and tends to come to hand around this time of year; back on a fair mark and offered more last time, so there are positives for a yard that took this three years ago. |
8/1 |

3rd 2 (6) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Three wins at both sprint trips on this course, on good to firm and good; one to keep an eye on as she's been a regular winner down the years but she came home in her own time on her recent return from a break so another run or two might be in order. |
14/1 |

30th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Most wins have come in the second half of the year and always after a recent outing; returns from four months off and she might need a bit more help from the handicapper. |

12th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |

Multiple 5f winner down the years, including over C&D, but his powers appear to be on the wane; a couple of respectable efforts last month but more will be needed to win. |

12th Jun 2025 Good 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Multiple 6f AW winner who is 0-16 on turf, where his better efforts have been on slow ground; AW form has tailed off recently and he looks in need of a revivial if he's to break his turf duck. |

22nd May 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Four wins on AW over 6f, including here; two solid seconds at Kempton this year and his last run there (over 7f) can be forgiven; remains favourably treated. |
