2nd 2 (9) |
2nd Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
His losing run is up to 16 and his form has gone the wrong way this year, but he's 3lb lower than when beaten just a neck at Lingfield (5f, AW) in June and he won this race in 2024; not discounted. |
5/1 |

5th 1 (4) |
28th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Winner over this trip but doesn't run over it often now, all starts this year having come over 5f; continues to tumble down the weights but has struggled in two runs back on turf latterly and others make more appeal. |
10/1 |

4th 5 (5) |
7th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Has six wins to his name but yet to score for his current trainer; best recent effort when runner-up at Lingfield (5f, AW) last month; not out of this. |

3rd 9 (10) |
2nd Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
8yo who is without a win since August 2024; however, he was beaten just a nose in a classified here (5.7f, firm) in July and 6f stretched him at Windsor last time; this seven-time course winner could play a leading role back here and back down in trip. |
13/2 |
|
7th 11 (5) |
17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Pipped by Jackie Brown in a 5.7f classified at Bath last time, with Sisters In The Sky finishing strongly another nose back; that was so nearly his first win for two years (8-81 overall) but coming fourth in 2022 was easily his best result from five visits here. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 8 (6) |
31st Jul 2026 Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Third in similar C&D race to this (good; first run since rejoining this stable) in June and also ran well when third in recent 5f handicap here (firm) but is not one to rely upon heavily and sometimes races too freely. |

30th Oct 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Saw his run of good form come to an end when eighth in 6f Southwell handicap 13 days ago; this C&D scorer is the sort to bounce back though. |

21st Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Well held in sole course run (5f) but he won on Southwell Tapeta (6f) last December and showed he retains plenty of ability in both runs this year; bolted to post and withdrawn on intended yard debut in September; not dismissed on the earlier runs. |
10/1 |
|
4 (3) |
29th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 7y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Has won nine races from 5f-6f; seems to handle any ground and two fair runs over 6f for Kieran Burke in July; quite interesting on debut for new yard. |
20/1 |
|
3 (2) |
26th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Has always been at his best at Bath but he closed from off the pace to be fourth at Kempton 23 days ago on stable debut (after an absence); not dismissed. |

7th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Campaigned on AW since November, winning once; hasn't scored on turf since 2023 but is 8lb lower than last appearance in this sphere; attractively handicapped. |

4th Sep 2024 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Smart in his prime and he retained sufficient ability to win a Salisbury handicap last summer off 13lb higher; not really fired this year though and opposable despite a reduced mark. |
10/1 |
|
4th 1 (8) |
13th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
10st 1lb |
Veteran who hasn't hit top gear yet in 2024 but who is eligible for Class 6 company as a result; other pace to deal with here and could prove vulnerable once again. |
10/1 |
|
4th 1 (6) |
18th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 16y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Veteran with just one win to his name in the last three years; that came off a 6lb higher mark but he wasn't near his best on last month's seasonal return; step forward is required. |

4th Sep 2024 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Pipped So Smart in the final strides at Chepstow in July (5f, good to soft) and he's 2lb better off with that rival today; subsequent Leicester run (6f) less convincing but returning to a stiff 5f should suit, especially with a fast pace looking assured. |

1st 4 (6) |
12th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 16y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Better with each of his three runs back from almost a year off, latterly on his first crack at this trip a month ago; that gave something to build on off the same mark. |
4/1 |
