13th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Sole win from 21 starts came at Newmarket (6f, good) in August 2024; also posted a couple of decent placed efforts last August but ended 2025 on a low note and off for ten months ahead of this reappearance; a watching brief is the percentage call. |

13th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 3y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Sole win from 20 starts came at Newmarket last summer; good second off reduced mark at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) in August but he's taken two backward steps since and has something to prove again; first-time cheekpieces replace visor. |

16th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 217y Class 4 |

Only win in 15 attempts came off 1lb higher at Newmarket in August last year (6f, good); fair efforts in a visor (on again) when in the frame on last two starts; has each-way claims. |

24th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 60y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Running consistently all season and the handicapper continues to give him every chance (5lb lower than when last successful); ran well on his only previous start here too but he's ultimately made a career of getting beaten at short prices. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 3 (4) |
23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Unplaced on last two starts but hasn't run badly and he's 4lb lower than when runner-up over C&D (good) in June; capable of having a big say. |
4/1 |

4th 6 (2) |
6th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Unbeaten (2-2) under Oisin Murphy until finding traffic in the Windsor race he'd won last summer a fortnight ago; unlikely he'd have won there but he's consistent, fine round here and on a winning mark, so is one to consider. |

23rd Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 215y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Had been expensive to follow but he ended a losing run at Chepstow (6f, good to firm) two weeks ago when more positive tactics were deployed; unpenalised when bolting up back at Chepstow on Tuesday and he is effectively 11lb higher today; slower ground shouldn't be an issue but this will require a good deal more. |
3/1 |

1st 8 (8) |
18th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Pulled hard on his first two runs back from wind surgery (7f) and was much happier being allowed to stride on when easily winning an apprentice handicap over C&D last Sunday; no penalty and he can only look well treated now back in the groove. |
5/2 |
|
1st 3 (7) |
9th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |

11th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Three wins last year, two of them over C&D, and she has run some good races in defeat in 2025, including C&D; saw no daylight when a close fifth here 13 days ago and that was a Class 4; good chance back into Class 6. |

29th May 2025 Good 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |

Dual 6f course winner; runner-up here (6f, good) and at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) last month but below her best when favourite and only sixth of eight at this track (7f, good to firm; Dark Side Thunder third) 15 days ago; possibilities if that can be forgiven. |

2nd Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Showed promise for Andrew Balding last year but he's struggled in last two runs, including when last of nine on recent stable debut at Kempton (6f, AW); mark is falling but he's now 0-8 and has questions to answer. |
25/1 |

16th Jul 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Some promise for Andrew Balding last season but his two runs this year have been underwhelming; sold for 26,000gns in May; best watched on stable debut. |

17th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |

Stable stalwart with 13 wins; not the force of old and contests his first classified; can't discount but likely to find one or two too good. |
7/2 |

6th 3 (5) |
5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
11st 0lb |
Both wins on turf have been on ground slower than good and his last four wins have been on the AW; beat only one rival home at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) 19 days ago and now drops back in trip with promising amateur Henry Callan taking over in the saddle; visor back on. |
16/1 |
|
5th 4 (5) |
17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Solid strike-rate on AW but not so good on turf and latest sixth of 12 at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) will need improving on; nothing wrong with this mark, though. |

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. |

All five wins have been on turf, rattling up a three-timer in October 2024; it's been downhill since and while cheekpieces replace usual blinkers, he makes little appeal here. |

28th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |

His C&D win last October came off a 16lb higher mark so his ability for a race of this nature isn't in doubt; he hasn't been firing in recent starts though, including when well supported. |

18th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |

Two 6f wins in 2024, both off a mark 14lb higher than today's; the odd promising sign this year and Hector Crouch replaces a 7lb claimer tonight. |
14/1 |

4th 1 (4) |
6th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |

5yo who has a regressive profile but has dropped down the weights and took a step back in the right direction when sixth of 14 at Windsor (6f, good to firm) in June last time; might not be far away. |
