25th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Turf winner who has bagged four wins at this venue; returns following a two-month break (has gone well fresh) but he's more a place prospect than a win-only one. |
20/1 |

22nd Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 80y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Returned to form with 8.6f AW win in March and comes here after two good efforts over 1m on turf; drops in grade here and should be fine over this extended 7f; might be the answer. |

18th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 212y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Four-time AW winner who returned to form when scoring at Wolverhampton (8.6f) in March; record of 1-18 on turf but he went close at Chepstow (1m, good) last month and is a big player if he can back that up off unchanged mark. |

14th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Dual Sandown winner last summer (1m, 1m2f), latterly off 5lb lower, who stays a deal further; 66-1 when only having stablemate Good Speed behind on his C&D comeback last month and may need some help from the handicapper. |
16/1 |

9th 5 (6) |
20th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
In good form in blinkers last summer, winning twice at Sandown (1m and 1m2f) before placed efforts at Epsom and Newmarket; has tended to need his reappearance in the past so perhaps one to watch with an eye to the future; cheekpieces on today. |

9th Sep 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Boasts a good record at Pontefract, where he should have notched a fourth win early last month, and today's similarly stiff 1m2f should suit; not as consistent now, unsurprisingly given his age, but is still more than capable at this level. |
8/1 |
|

18th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 4f 13y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Unraced here; goes particularly well at Pontefract where he just failed to catch Star Start over 1m2f last time; stays this far and should be on the scene. |
11/4 |
|
2nd 1 (3) |
6th Aug 2025 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 6 |
11st 2lb |
9yo who has an excellent record at Pontefract, most recently taking advantage of a reduced mark in a 1m2f amateurs' event in June under Serena Brotherton; back up 4lb and well beaten at Haydock latest but has to be of interest back here unless the ground is softer than good. |

1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Four-time winner over 1m/1m2f here; back off his last winning mark and has twice won after an absence, but whether he can do so after 313 days off is a moot point; may also need further than this now. |
10/1 |

9th 2 |
23rd Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 6f 44y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Former miler who has reinvented himself as a stayer, winning over 2m on AW in March and respectable fourth over C&D last time; the 8yo now takes on some unexposed 3yos. |
7/1 |

24th May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 6f 44y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Running, and winning, over 1m this time last year but he collected by 2l over 2m on the Kempton AW in March; not in the same form back there a month ago but chance if on a going day (can be up and down). |

31st May 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
Ended 2025 with two good runs but he has been well short of that level in two runs this year, a wind op before the latest making no difference; tongue tie returns; risky despite his reduced mark. |
20/1 |
|
11th 9 (8) |
8th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
First win was on turf (7f) and last two have been on Tapeta (8.6f); reached the frame in two starts at Wolverhampton in December but he had a major blip there the following month; had another wind operation since and needs a major revival after four months off. |

6th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Record of 7-20 on AW and 2-3 since wearing visor; midfield in notable handicap at Lingfield (1m2f) most recently, shaping as if this return to further is worth exploring; could go well in the retained headgear. |
6/1 |

5th 5 (10) |
17th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
2-2 since visored, following a 1m2f Chelmsford win with a ready success at Wolverhampton last month (9.5f); up 4lb and drawn widest so she will need to produce another personal best to complete her hat-trick. |
12/1 |

3rd 4 (2) |
4th Nov 2025 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Five-time AW winner who looks a solid contender, having shown herself back in better form with third-place finishes off current mark at Southwell (1m) in last three outings; should be thereabouts again. |

18th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 5f 66y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
7-25 on the AW, with one of the wins coming on his only Chelmsford start; creditable third of ten at Lingfield (1m4f, AW) 19 days ago and the second from that race has won since; stamina not assured over the longest he's tackled but can be very competitive from his mark. |
11/2 |

3rd 2 (5) |
30th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
7-24 on the AW with six of those wins coming at Lingfield (1m2f/1m4f); no joy in three turf runs in May/June but he didn't get much luck back on AW at Wolverhampton last month; now only 1lb higher than for his C&D win in April and he's in the mix back at this track. |
15/2 |
|

31st Jul 2025 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 3 |
8st 10lb |
7-23 on the AW with all wins coming over 1m2f/1m4f on Polytrack, six of them at Lingfield; 0-7 on Tapeta, but runner-up on four occasions so he isn't easy to dismiss. |

13th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 3f 137y Class 6 |
11st 0lb |
Her wins come round infrequently now but she's well handicapped on her best form at about this trip for Alice Tregoning in 2024; versatile ground-wise and it's likely that she'll have a say. |
10/1 |
|
5 (1) |
26th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Getting on for three years since her last win and stamina for 2m still not conclusively proven; fair mark judged on last season's best and she should be sharper with her reappearance four weeks ago behind her. |
10/1 |
|
4 (8) |
29th Jul 2025 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |
10st 13lb |
No win since September 2022 but second under Alice Tregoning at Ffos Las (1m6f, soft) and Haydock (11.5f, good to soft) on two of her last five outings; tailed off on latest but that was her first race on heavy going; competitive if back on song. |

In good form on the AW at Lingfield this year until a below-par sixth on turf in 1m2f Windsor handicap 18 days ago; this course winner can bounce back here. |
14/1 |

6th 5 (7) |
11th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Good start for Adam Kirby when a close third (of 12) in a 1m2f AW handicap at Lingfield in March (for today's rider); not so good back at Lingfield 13 days ago but returning to turf should be in his favour. |
6/1 |

5th 4 (1) |
28th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Just 1-28 on AW but he went desperately close to doubling that tally in an amateur rider's race over C&D last month, only headed in the dying strides (first run for Adam Kirby); 2lb higher today; one to consider with new headgear tried. |

Beaten only half a length when fourth of six at Goodwood (1m4f, good to soft) in June; however, beaten 4l when fifth back there (1m4f, good to firm) last time; slow ground may be preferable. |

3rd Oct 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Fully effective on AW, recording her peak RPR on Tapeta, so surprising the return to turf was put forward as the reason for her easy win at Brighton in May (1m4f, good); mixed bag since, often slowly away, and there are risks involved. |

Back on the mainland after game win under Brodie Hampson in Jersey (1m2f, good) in April; this race is almost certainly stronger but he's still on a workable mark and probably won't be far away; cheekpieces refitted. |
