29th Jul 2025 Good 1m 1f 197y Class 2 |
8st 7lb |
C&D winner in 2022; an underwhelming 2024 campaign for new yard was swept aside when he came from last to first in a nine-runner race at Epsom (1m2f, heavy) last September, scoring in tidy fashion with first-time cheekpieces (kept since); however, pulled up lame in the November Handicap next time and tailed off at Epsom sole run this year. |

6th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 17y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
An underwhelming campaign for new yard was swept aside when he came from last to first in a nine-runner race over C&D (heavy; his only visit here) last September, scoring in tidy fashion with first-time cheekpieces and never better; pulled up lame off this 5lb higher mark in the November Handicap on sole run since; good soft-ground record before that and won sole run on good to soft; considered if he gets that ground. |

9th Nov 2024 Soft 1m 3f 197y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
His underwhelming campaign for new yard was swept aside when he came from last to first in a nine-runner race at Epsom (1m2f, heavy) six weeks ago, scoring in tidy fashion with first-time cheekpieces and never better; 5lb higher today and not proven over this far, but that win built on a good soft-ground record and he has won at 1m3f, so he enters calculations. |

Without a win since October 2023; ran well at Doncaster in August but well beaten in three runs since; visor now joins the tongue-tie. |

7th 4 (6) |
19th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Runner-up off 1lb higher at Doncaster (1m2f, good to firm) last month, but he's struggled in both subsequent runs and overall record is now 1-30. |
33/1 |

6th 8 (5) |
5th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Heavy defeats in two AW starts, both on this track in 2025; more of the same for much of this year and although there were more hopeful signs in midsummer, he was said to have never travelled when tailed off at Redcar last time. |

16th Oct 2024 Soft 1m 2f 50y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
Off mark at fourth attempt, in Lingfield novice (1m2f, AW); good third of nine on handicap debut at Epsom (1m2f, heavy) puts him in the mix. |
8/1 |

3rd 8 (5) |
29th Sep 2024 Heavy 1m 2f 17y Class 3 |
8st 12lb |
Off mark at fourth attempt in Lingfield novice (1m2f, AW) this month; has also shown promise on good to soft (unraced on softer); this unexposed 3yo is in good hands to progress and could go well on handicap debut. |
6/1 |

Good to firm ground a possible excuse when brushed aside at 4-6 last time and his length second to 1-5 favourite and subsequent ready French Listed winner Ombudsman at Leicester the time before reads well. |

30th Jun 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Now 2lb lower than when winning at Epsom (1m2f, good) last summer but yet to hit top gear after three runs this season (1m2f-1m4f) and today's drop back to 1m may not be ideal; cheekpieces removed after one use. |

30th May 2025 Good To Soft 1m 3f 198y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Gelded ahead of a fairly encouraging reappearance at Epsom (1m4f, good) in April but disappointing when seventh of nine at Lingfield (1m2f) 20 days ago on his first run on good to firm; that surface might be an excuse and he's now tried in cheekpieces; far from ruled out, albeit still needing to prove his stamina. |

16th Oct 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Ended long losing run with emphatic 1m2f success early last month on his only appearance at this track; reverted to lesser displays on his two starts since but has another change of headgear (first blinkers) and isn't dismissed back at Newcastle. |

23rd Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Ended long losing run with emphatic success at Newcastle (1m2f) this month; still on a workable mark after 4lb rise and recent defeat on soft turf is not viewed harshly; no surprise if he features. |

7th 10 (7) |

Three-time turf winner who was well on top last week in a 1m2f Class 5 at Newcastle where the visor returned; back up 4lb in stronger company but he has won here and might not be far away. |

15th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 23y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Spent nearly all of his long career with Ed Dunlop but lost his form in 2025 and has not staged a recovery in his two starts for new yard this term; well down the weights but others are more persuasive. |
8/1 |
|
7th 4 (2) |
31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 17y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Well handicapped on even last year's best form for Ed Dunlop; 25-1 and shaped with more promise than the distance beaten suggests at Goodwood (1m4f, good to soft) in June; back to a more suitable trip today and he's an intriguing contender. |
10/1 |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 3f 218y Class 4 |

Quite smart at his best for Ed Dunlop and he goes well on slow ground; however, essentially regressive in 2025 and new trainer has to turn him around. |

23rd Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 6 |

Made the frame on first three turf starts this season but has not been in the same form since and this 8yo is nothing like the force of old; first AW run since 2024; others preferred. |
16/1 |

5th 1 (10) |
27th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Runner-up over this C&D in June; shaped better than the bare result at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) next time and didn't get home there last time over 11.5f after kicking clear; now 14lb below his last winning mark and he'll appreciate this drop back in trip. |
6/1 |

10st 11lb |
Latest defeat when sent off favourite here (1m2f, good to firm) a fortnight ago wasn't quite as bad as it looks, but his losing run is now up to 20 and his best form has come over shorter. |

29th Sep 2024 Heavy 1m 2f 17y Class 3 |
10st 1lb |
His wins have come on good to soft (unproven on soft/heavy); dropping down the weights and the drop back in trip could help, but he was beaten a long way the last twice and needs to turn things around in first-time blinkers. |
9/1 |

11th 5 (10) |
7th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 6f 1y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Lightly raced 4yo; tailed off on final start last term (his only run on soft) but third of six at Lingfield (11.6f, good) on reappearance this May was career-best form; 3lb lower today, following a poor show at Epsom (good to soft) on Derby Day; mixed messages there and not certain to get 1m6f. |

10st 13lb |
Aided by new tongue-tie when winning twice here (2m/2m2f, good to firm) this summer; confined to minor honour in two six-runner races since, however, back here on latest, and her improvement seems to have levelled off. |

5th Oct 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 148y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Aided by new tongue-tie when winning twice here (2m/2m2f, good to firm) this summer; respectable third at Bangor (2m, good) on latest outing four weeks ago and sure to be suited by return to this track; respected. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 3 |
8th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 145y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Much improved over hurdles since fitted with a tongue tie and bids for a hat-trick following a pair of Stratford handicap wins this summer, overcoming some jumping errors in 2m3f event on latter occasion; this fairly useful Flat scorer could have more to offer; big player. |
