30th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Convincing win on AW fifteen months ago and might have been involved but for clipping heels at Salisbury (also 1m, good to firm) in June; heavy defeat over latter C&D when back from a break last time, though. |

13th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Only 2lb higher than for 1m AW win last June, since which he's been lightly raced and below form; he might have thrown down a challenge over C&D last time, however, but for clipping heels and nearly falling; needs a close look. |

8th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Four-time winner, split between turf and AW; last success was off 2lb higher at Salisbury (1m) last August but he's been out of sorts in last three runs and needs a major revival; reapplied cheekpieces replace a visor. |
10/1 |

31st Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 216y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Ran well at Bath in June but has lacked consistency this year; 7yo who's far from guaranteed to take advantage of being 2lb below last winning mark. |
14/1 |

4th 5 (5) |
2nd Aug 2025 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Recent form a bit patchy, but his second of 11 at Bath (1m, good; first-time visor) on his penultimate start took his record off today's mark to 313212; does most of his racing over shorter these days, but shouldn't have a problem with this trip. |

16th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
No impact in a handful of turf handicaps this summer but different proposition back on AW and with first-time cheekpieces added to his tongue-tie (combination retained) when seeing off 13 rivals over C&D 17 days ago; only nudged up 2lb and will be very competitive if in a similar mood. |
7/2 |

29th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
0-5 on turf for new stable this season; hinted at possible return to form in first-time tongue-tie two starts ago but suffered heavy defeat last time (breathing issue reported); sports cheekpieces for AW return; risky. |
16/1 |

13th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 1f 201y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
1-6 in 2024 for Sir Mark Prescott; not so good this year and, although beaten about only 3l on two of his last three starts, he needs to drop further in the weights unless improving on that 2025 form; tongue tied last time (upped to 1m2f) and today. |

4th Mar 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Two creditable shows in midwinter, including over C&D, but his sole win was back in 2023 and he ran no sort of race on this track in January; needs to shrug that off. |

8th 9 (4) |
14th Jan 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |

It's now 19 outings since his last victory but he wasn't discredited when fourth of ten in 1m Southwell handicap 11 days ago; possibilities. |

Two Yarmouth runs over 1m2f in April tie in closely with A Major Payne, including when a whisker behind that rival in third a fortnight ago; shouldn't be much between the pair again. |

3rd 5 (4) |
30th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 23y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Won at Sandown (1m2f) last summer in first two starts after cheekpieces were refitted; respectable in two of four starts since, including over C&D recently when finishing on the heels of A Major Payne; should be competitive. |
3/1 |

Successful in first two starts after cheekpieces were refitted, at Sandown (1m2f; good and soft) last summer, but his form went to pot in two of three runs after; needs to return in much better form. |

30th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
11st 2lb |
Successful on Jersey in May and followed up over 1m2f on AW here in June; his two subsequent efforts have been poor and tries a change of headgear (first-time blinkers in place of cheekpieces) in a bid to get back to form. |
8/1 |

7th 5 (1) |
6th Aug 2025 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 6 |
10st 10lb |
Sole turf win was in Jersey this May, preceding a Lingfield AW win in June; tailed off at Newcastle eight days later, which she needs to bounce back from, but the string of seconds (three on good to firm) at this time last year makes this look a good mark. |

C&D winner; two solid efforts over C&D this year and he won a 1m4f handicap at Kempton in April; last of four over C&D (Dubai Immo third) under Guy Mitchell 21 days ago, but that was a messy affair and this bigger field should help; chance. |
