2nd Feb 2026 Standard 2m 0f 120y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Five-time course winner, but he's never scored beyond 1m2f and his last success was in November 2023; well handicapped on his old form but he's been well held in last four starts and latest was over 1m6f here last month; opposable. |

Had a very solid campaign over 1m in handicaps and Listed races last term, including here on soft (unraced on heavy); did not reappear until three weeks ago, however, when below form at Newmarket trying 1m2f. |

8th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 2f 50y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
All wins have come in the spring, mainly on soft ground, but there was no win this time round; has his lowest mark since 2020 but easily his best show this season was in March; usually wears a visor or cheekpieces and now he's blinkered first time. |

16th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 23y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
All wins have come in the spring, with one on AW but mainly on soft turf; well handicapped on his best form last season but he's failed to beat a rival in his last two runs and needs a major revival after a break. |

9th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 144y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
4-6 on good ground over hurdles, notching another personal best when returning from a break to win readily at Plumpton (2m; 15-2) last month; a 10lb rise demands further improvement but he's thriving and should encounter suitable conditions again. |
5/1 |

1st 7 |
5th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
Very progressive in completing a good-ground hat-trick last year and when third to Tutti Quanti in a Class 1 handicap at Newbury in November (soft); still on a competitive mark despite all that and for whatever reason he didn't show his true form at Kempton on final sighting at Christmas; if forgiven that, and he's had a break, then he enters the picture. |

1st Nov 2025 Good 1m 7f 157y Class 2 |
10st 12lb |
Pretty useful in 2024 on Flat; won on good ground at Huntingdon, Warwick and Market Rasen (2m1f) in all three of his handicap hurdles, with mistakes at the last two flights on latest outing but he'd travelled much the best and won by nearly 2l; up another 6lb and in class but he keeps looking as if he has more up his sleeve. |

5th Jul 2025 Good 1m 3f 175y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Found plenty for pressure to win by 2l on reappearance at Goodwood (1m2f, good) in May and kept on for solid third at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm) since; those performances, allied with his pedigree, indicate this lightly raced 4yo will be suited by this step up in trip; major player. |

3rd 3 (4) |
26th May 2025 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 2 |
10st 0lb |
Runner-up on handicap debut at Newbury (1m2f, heavy) last October and reappeared with a well-backed win at Goodwood (1m2f, good) this month, finding plenty for pressure and prevailing by 2l; this unexposed 4yo could have more left in the tank and may well take a 7lb rise in his stride. |

Three Flat wins at up to 1m2f; in the frame twice over hurdles since last seen on the Flat; drops into a 0-80 and should stay 1m4f; not discounted. |

4th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |

5th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 2 |

30th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Generally kept away from fast ground but won easily on good to firm over 1m2f here for Olivia Tubb early in the month; retains most of her ability for a yard enjoying a good spring but she's often come to hand early in the past and a 7lb rise will test her. |

1st 6 (5) |
9th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Registered his seventh win when scoring on reappearance at Newbury (1m2f, good) last year and he attracted support before finishing second to an unexposed sort at Epsom (8.5f, good) on recent comeback this time; might not come on a bundle for that but this trip is more suitable and he's in with an each-way chance. |
3/1 |

2nd 7 (9) |
28th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 113y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Seven wins include five off higher marks than this and one at this track (1m2f, good to soft; has won on good) in 2023; this trip might be on the short side but he went close on his reappearance in 2024 (1m2f) and scored off 2lb higher on his comeback last term (1m2f); not readily dismissed. |

28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |

An ideal type for this prize having ended last term with a C&D win, showing career-best form; that was on heavy but he seems versatile as regards ground; further progress is not out of the question; shortlisted. |

1st 11 (3) |
25th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |

Did well last autumn (including heavy-ground win) and back to form with a 1m Windsor success (good) in September; only a respectable fourth at Nottingham (good to soft) since, though. |

8th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |

Off the mark in impressive style in this race last year (heavy); returned to form with a Windsor win (1m, good) on latest start, which sees him back up 4lb today (10lb higher than 12 months ago) but on the shortlist. |

6th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 3 |

In good form on turf until folding tamely and well held last time; consistent in defeat on AW (four attempts) but he's 9lb higher than last appearance in this sphere. |

2nd Aug 2025 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Progressive 4yo who has won three times this season (1m2f-1m4f, good to firm/good) and again ran well when third of five at Newbury (1m4f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; there's every chance he'll be thereabouts. |

15th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Has slipped to a career-low mark and well-backed fifth of 15 when returned to turf at Doncaster (1m2f) in March last time wasn't too bad; however, his record over that sort of trip is far more appealing than his two runs at 1m4f and his turf tally is 0-11. |

5th 3 (13) |
28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Drawn a blank since AW debut success but was placed over this trip on turf (good/good to firm) off higher marks last season; hard to get too excited by this winter's AW efforts but it's possible an eight-week break could have had a reviving effect; one to note in the betting. |

30th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 4 |

7f Tapeta winner but has not won since that debut in 2023; was a close second on turf from a higher mark last season but needs to be much better than his latest AW effort. |

24th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
The last three of her seven wins were at Goodwood and she has never won on worse than good ground, but she was a respectable third on heavy at this meeting last year; seems flattered by margin beaten in Listed race on penultimate start but she followed that with a handicap second at same track. |
16/1 |

2nd 9 (3) |
12th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 1f 197y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Her last three wins have come here (good/good to firm) and the latest was over C&D in August; seems versatile ground-wise; outclassed in C&D Listed race last time and could play a leading role back in a handicap. |
8/1 |
|
10th 8 (8) |
24th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 1f 197y Class 1 |
8st 13lb |
Successful off a mark of 70 in C&D handicap on penultimate start, taking Goodwood record to 3-4; return to this venue is a plus but she has easily the worst chance at the weights upped in class. |
