17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
He's on a hat-trick in this race and followed last year's win by also scoring at Windsor and Yarmouth (all 5f on good to firm in cheekpieces) in August; no wins since but he didn't get much cover when midfield over C&D one week ago and his race record means he can't be discounted; also ran well sole previous go in a visor. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
C&D record reads 131, the defeat coming behind Emperor Spirit in this race last year; 5lb lower than for his last win and although he's yet to really shine this year, the booking of Oisin Murphy is notable; contender with frequent cheekpieces now discarded. |

C&D win last August came off a 3lb higher mark; encouraging reappearance here five weeks ago and today's ground will be more suitable; solid claims dropped into a Class 4. |

Inconsistent this year but is well handicapped on best sprinting form, including a 2yo Listed win; possibilities provided he stays this new trip. |

Second at Newmarket in July (5f, good) but he failed to back it up at Newbury last time (stumbled leaving the stalls); has more to prove at 6f and a change of headgear isn't enough to tempt. |

17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Still capable of running up to high-80s RPRs just two years ago, but has offered nothing in two outings this term and remains winless around anywhere as galloping as Nottingham; cheekpieces return. |

29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
His last win was in April 2024, which is probably the bottom line; three wins and five seconds from 12 races at Windsor also catches the eye but he was a soundly beaten last at Leicester on reappearance three weeks ago. |

8th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Acts on good to firm and soft; his last win was in April 2024 but he was much better than this level in his time and he ran several good races at Brighton (5.3f) last season; returns after 235 days off but he needs a close look for in-form yard. |

9st 8lb |
11-time turf winner who won by 4l at Lingfied in July but he's been a long way below that form in three subsequent runs; this return to 6f is no problem but he needs a major revival on belated Tapeta debut; blinkers reapplied. |

Ran away with a turf handicap here (5f, good to soft; blinkered first time) in July; two heavy defeats have followed and this looks a warm race in which to try and bounce back; no accessories this time. |

22nd Oct 2024 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Came good for Julie Camacho with narrow turf win in first-time cheekpieces this summer and did well to finish fourth on last month's AW debut at Lingfield (first-time visor), having started slowly; remains unexposed on artificial surfaces; one to consider. |

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. |

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. |
100/30 |

1st 4 (3) |
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. |

Debut winner on the AW; beaten 4l and 3l in her two handicaps (5f, good) and slow starts didn't help; more to prove than some. |

31st Aug 2024 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Below par the last twice and from stall two she could do with breaking better than on last month's handicap debut at Newmarket; however, she showed speed and promise in the spring on her first two starts (5f, AW/good to soft) and judged on that evidence she could be on a handy mark. |

He'd been quiet in 2024 but he attracted support dropped into a Class 6 at Chelmsford ten days ago and duly ran better, third of 11 (cheekpieces first time) from a wide stall; high on the list. |

6-35 for Stuart Williams but 0-11 on turf and, despite a falling mark, that's the obvious concern on this first start for new connections. |

26th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |

Third, beaten 1.25l by Over Spiced, in a C&D handicap three weeks ago; that represented his best turf result but this race will demand an even bigger effort. |
9/1 |
|
3rd 6 (3) |
4th May 2026 Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
8st 7lb |
Big chance on his AW form but he has finished out of the placings in all nine turf runs; BHA mark is 15lb lower on turf but he's likely to remain vulnerable. |
14/1 |
