22nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Win (off 2lb lower last August) and two seconds to his name from four runs over C&D; pulled hard and didn't see it out over 1m here last time, and this hold-up performer should fare better as long as it doesn't become tactical. |
5/1 |

9th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 216y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won here (7f, good to firm) last August and made an encouraging reappearance when fifth of 14 at Kempton (7f, AW) last month; does stay this far but could do with the ground drying out. |
10/1 |

6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Four-time Tapeta winner who resumes from eight months off on a career-high mark; gone well fresh before but is used to plying his trade in lesser company and may need some help from the handicapper. |

17th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
A regular at Southwell, where he has a win and five places; had slipped in the weights before creditable efforts over 6f and 1m last two starts; today's intermediate trip should be ideal and he's high on the list. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 6 (6) |
2nd Oct 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Four-time turf winner but he's 1-31 on AW and was well held back in this sphere at Southwell (7f) last week; cheekpieces are now added but he has work to do on this return to sprinting. |
14/1 |
|
5th 7 (4) |
24th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Rather a modest third returned to turf last time; only 1-30 on AW but gained the success over C&D (off current mark) and holds a fighting chance back here. |

7th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Well short of his best on turf on his last two starts but perhaps better judged on this winter's AW efforts, which included a 6f win at Newcastle as well as several placed runs; not discounted at this level. |
7/1 |
|
12th 15 (12) |
1st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
6f AW win in November (visored first time) and placed on a few occasions subsequently; neither start since returning from a four-month break has been near that level though. |

8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Five-time AW winner but still looking for a first turf win; well beaten in a C&D handicap six weeks ago; on a winning mark but not exactly solid. |
6/1 |
|
5th 9 (3) |
28th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Gained his fifth AW success when winning at Wolverhampton (8.6f) in December; mixed results in four subsequent runs but he rallied for fourth at Southwell (7f, AW) in March; now returns to turf but he has placed form in this sphere and is not ruled out back up in trip. |

21st Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Stayed on strongly to win a 0-50 classified event at Yarmouth last month; never in the hunt back in handicap company at Brighton four weeks ago; others look stronger. |
16/1 |
|
8th 5 (9) |
24th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Three 7f wins at this track but has also won at 1m; resumed winning ways in a classified at Yarmouth (1m, good to firm) ten days ago but back up 5lb and will find it tougher back in a handicap. |
7/2 |
|
1st 2 (9) |
14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Dual winner here (including C&D) last summer; second over C&D on two of her last three starts, latterly in a handicap 17 days ago; winner has gone in again, so she's well in the mix dropped back into classified company. |
5/1 |
