1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Three wins for Adam West including one on the AW in France; encouraging return/stable debut at Lingfield (1m2f, AW) in April but didn't build on it at Newbury (1m, good) last month; others preferred. |
8/1 |

Three wins (8.5f/9.5f) for Adam West; ran encouragingly (close third) in 1m2f AW contest at Lingfield on stable/seasonal debut and has possibilities provided he builds on that effort. |

16th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Four-time turf winner but 0-6 on AW; never threatened when fifth at Kempton on Monday (1m) and has to prove this trip is in range. |
10/1 |

13th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Four turf wins to her name, the latest at Brighton in April (1m, good to firm) when rated 2lb higher; needs to bounce back from a lacklustre run at Epsom last month. |
10/1 |

11th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 113y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Can be in and out but fairly solid in cheekpieces when third at Brighton (1m) on her last two starts and it was a creditable second on her only start here (C&D, good) last July; has dropped below her last winning mark. |

29th Jan 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Sole win from 19 starts came on turf at Epsom (7f fillies' maiden) in August 2023; more miss than hit since joining Gemma Tutty (0-4), although there was a slight glimmer at Wolverhampton (7f; third) in November; blinkers make a return and that potentially offers hope. |

14th Dec 2024 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Sole win was in an Epsom maiden 16 months ago and she was never involved over 8.6f here (seventh of 11) last time; cheekpieces are now added but she's been in and out this year and her tactical speed will be tested back at this trip; others are more convincing. |

Eight C&D wins, the most recent off current mark in August; not in the same form since and was behind a few of today's rivals last time. |

29th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Has struggled on his last three starts but always a force to be reckoned with at this track having registered an eighth win here on his last visit in August (1m, good; ridden by Oliver Carmichael); only 2lb higher. |

22nd Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Close third in a 7f Lingfield classified last time but that was AW; no win since August 2023 and it's almost as long since he ran well on turf. |
10/1 |

19th Jun 2025 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |

Not beaten far on his last attempt at this level (1m2f here) in March; not a solid option but no surprise to see him bounce back with blinkers given a go. |

20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Usually a reliable sort whose five wins have all been over 6f; beaten a head over 5f at Wolverhampton in March and a shade disappointing back on turf subsequently but should give a better performance here. |
7/1 |
|
10 (8) |
8th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
All five wins have been this trip but he had a near-miss over 5f at Wolverhampton in March; only 1lb higher today but he was a disappointing favourite back on turf at Doncaster (5f, good to soft) last time; has a bit to prove again after that and this is a step back up in grade. |
7/1 |
|
7th 7 (11) |
29th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Three wins in 2025, the latest at this track (6f, good) in September when 3lb lower; several good runs in defeat since and he is a leading contender with this likely to be run to suit. |

7th Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Front-runner who is not as good as he was but ran okay to be beaten 2l over 1m in a classified race last time; expect a very positive ride back at 7f. |
10/1 |
|
4 (2) |
8th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 216y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Front-runner who's regressed sharply and again pulled hard when well fancied on his first crack at 0-50 classified company last time; needs to settle better back up from 7f. |
8/1 |
|
6 (9) |
19th Jun 2025 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Often front-runs; on the downgrade for current stable but that enables him to run at this level for the first time; needs a revival though. |
