Soft-ground hurdle winner in March off 2lb lower; out of sorts when last seen hurdling but in good form on the Flat since the blinkers went on, latest when a close third at Windsor this month; could play a part if the headgear continues to have a positive effect back over hurdles. |

21st Jul 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
His three wins have come at Brighton and he has a patchy record on Tapeta; has been running poorly and doesn't make much appeal. |
33/1 |
|
8th 6 (9) |
1st Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 6y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Two runs here came in this race but he couldn't better his 2024 runner-up spot when only sixth last year; reappearance effort wasn't bad eight weeks ago but he's been poor in both starts this month, including when well behind Gearing's Point at Brighton last Monday. |

22nd Jun 2026 Good 1m 3f 198y Class 6 |

Three-time course winner, all in late summer; pleasing comeback early last month but below par here a fortnight ago, when well behind Foinix, and needs to bounce back (has never been the most consistent). |

9st 12lb |
Infrequent winner but he showed the right attitude when going in at Leicester (1m2f, good to firm) last Sunday; boasts a good record here, his win coming at this time of the year too, and he has a fair chance of defying a 4lb penalty. |
3/1 |

Dual winner (11.5f and 1m2f) who was placed in a couple of 1m2f handicaps here in 2024; the wheels have come off subsequently, however, and three starts this year promised little. |

15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

Finished last in two runs back having missed a little over a year; handicapper proving slow to relent and first-time headgear will need to make a difference. |

11th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Won twice on fast ground in the summer of 2024, including at this track (extended 1m3f); she hasn't stood much racing since, seen just four times since September 2024, and there are major question marks over how much of that old ability she retains. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 166y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Dual AW winner on the Flat who was 61l adrift when beating one home on his handicap hurdle debut at Kempton (2m) last month; just a fair effort on the Flat a fortnight ago; upped markedly in trip for his second go in this sphere. |
8/1 |

8th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 6 |

Mainly seen over hurdles lately and is just 2-33 under rules, but one of his wins came over C&D and his last few efforts on the AW off similar marks would give him an each-way chance here. |

9st 9lb |
Strong in the market when he made a winning stable debut at Lingfield (1m4f) and he followed up off 3lb higher at Kempton (1m3f, also AW) three weeks ago; handicapper reacted by dishing out a career-high mark but this locally trained gelding is a C&D winner who needs considering in current mood. |

Gained a first win since 2024 when landing gamble for his new yard in 1m4f handicap at Lingfield in April; back up 3lb but remains handily weighted on past form so merits serious consideration. |

30th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
