21st Jul 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Won over 1m2f on turf last August and AW in October; also had AW form in the winter but recent efforts do not look persuasive. |

2nd Jul 2025 Good 1m 2f 17y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Well beaten twice in a row over hurdles this spring and only fifth of seven when back on the Flat at Chelmsford (1m2f, AW) a fortnight ago; however, he won over C&D last August on his sole previous course visit and is well treated on AW form as recent as February; not written off. |

19th Jun 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Dual C&D winner (from four runs), latterly off a 1lb lower mark last autumn; said to have stopped quickly when well beaten at a short price over hurdles last month, which leaves him a bit to prove, but he has one of the more experienced jockeys up. |

9st 4lb |
Won three times in the summer of 2024, including twice over C&D; several good runs in defeat last year and he starts out for George Baker (same owner) off a competitive mark; one to consider. |
5/1 |

Record is 3-35; couple of third-place finishes since wearing blinkers, latest at Newbury when stepped back up to 2m (usually races over middle distances); could go well in the retained headgear. |

25th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Has several pieces of C&D form, including a success in 2023 and respectable fourth in latest start; competitively handicapped, having gained last three wins off just 1lb lower; enters calculations. |
4/1 |
|
4th 5 (3) |
11th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
All five wins on good or quicker ground, including firm; C&D winner who finished close up behind one who was ahead of her mark in this race last year and she's likely to be primed for this; leading claims for in-form yard. |
5/1 |

11st 1lb |
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. |

10st 11lb |
Low-grade mares' handicap winner at Fakenham in March (2m, good to soft) off 3lb lower but she hasn't kicked on from that in four runs since, although her latest fourth at Market Rasen (2m, good) 11 days ago was a step back in the right direction. |

26th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Triple AW winner (including here) who was on a long losing run until popping up in a Windsor classified (1m2f, good) three weeks ago; had previously looked a little unlucky when second in a similar event over C&D in March; chance. |

7th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
C&D winner who scored on turf at Lingfield on his penultimate run and he wasn't suited by a tactical race at Epsom (third of four) last time; only 3lb higher than for that last success and has claims if things go to plan back on AW. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 4 (3) |
17th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 17y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
In good form prior to capitalising on the step back up in trip to win at Lingfield (1m2f, good to firm) last month; had just a short head to spare but he's only 3lb higher today and can be bang there once more. |
7/2 |

28th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

Running consistently well in defeat on AW this season, finishing placed at Wolverhampton on last two starts (9.4f); there's every chance this three-time turf winner will be thereabouts. |

5th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Running fairly well on the AW when last seen but in only 0-50 company and he is a highly infrequent winner; no more than each-way claims. |

4th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

Strike-rate of 3-61 so thoroughly exposed but latest third in 1m Lingfield classified event is reasonable form for the level; each-way shout assuming a wide stall isn't too troublesome. |

3rd 5 (6) |
10th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |

17th Sep 2024 Good 1m 3f 198y Class 6 |

Swallowed up at Epsom last month, having kicked clear too soon in hindsight; in good form (212) at Brighton otherwise this summer but Windsor is an unknown; first run here. |
