3rd 6 (1) |
5th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Won over hurdles last December (2m); reverted to the Flat in May and was beaten just a neck at Ffos Las (1m4f, good to soft) last month on his second start back, when 7l clear of the third; there's every chance that this trip will be within range and he should again be involved. |

2nd 2 (5) |
4th Jun 2026 Good 1m 3f 209y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Both wins, including one over hurdles, came in a hood, which was absent when well beaten on the AW last month and again here; others preferred. |

18th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Both wins, including one over hurdles, came in a hood, which is absent as he returns from wind surgery after three months off; had plenty of chances off this sort of mark last year. |

7th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Yet to score this year but has run well a few times, latest when third of five at Lingfield (1m2f, good to firm) ten days ago; should be thereabouts but would prefer some give in the ground. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 2 (6) |
27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Wildly inconsistent this year; better from the front in a small field last time and the return to a switchback track, back up in trip, looks in his favour (fair record on the AW here); whether he reproduces the effort is the question. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 1 (5) |
26th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
For one who has been a model of consistency for much of his career it is slightly disconcerting that he has been well below form in three of his last four starts; the lesser runs have been in Class 5 events and his standout recent effort came when faced with Class 6 opposition, missing out by just a head at Lingfield in February (1m2f, AW); has run well over C&D in the past and a revival could be forthcoming back down in grade. |

10st 10lb |
1m winner in 2024; well held in both handicaps over hurdles and tries a tongue-tie; risky. |
14/1 |
|
5th 10 |
20th Apr 2026 Good 2m 2f 25y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
1m Flat winner in September 2024 when trained by the Kublers; yet to make the frame in four starts over hurdles but has time on his side; hood worn on last two starts is left off; may do better at some point. |
16/1 |
|
8th 10 |
31st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 190y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
1m Flat winner in 2024; has run three times over hurdles, on second occasion showing modest form on New Year's Day on debut for this yard; not so good when hooded on soft ground next time and he refused to enter the stalls for a Flat race four weeks ago; bit to prove. |

9th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
0-13 under rules; some promise when first handicapping for Eve Johnson Houghton, but has gone badly the wrong way; drops significantly in trip with cheekpieces given a go this time. |
33/1 |
|
10th 10 (8) |
14th Jan 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Best run came when third of 12 here (7f) in September 2024 but has been in the doldrums since signing off for Eve Johnson Houghton later that year; impossible to fancy despite a new headgear combination. |
66/1 |
|
4th 3 |
19th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |

Flat form has deteriorated badly this year and he remains a maiden under that code; difficult to fancy. |

13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Yet to strike form after four runs for new stable this year (1m-1m2f) and her only win was gained over 1m2f on heavy ground; continues to slip down the weights but drops back to 7f with quite a bit to prove. |
7/1 |
|
7th 8 (2) |
6th Jul 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Became disappointing for Marcus Tregoning last year and has been safely held on all three starts for Jim Goldie this season but continues to slip down the weights and will be favoured by the forecast rain; can't be written off just yet. |
10/1 |
|
6th 3 (2) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Not beaten far on either start for new stable this season, latterly when fourth of eight here (1m, good to firm) a month ago; will be suited by this move back up in trip and significant rain will make this heavy-ground winner of strong interest. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Won 1m handicaps at Bath (good to firm) and Lingfield (AW) last year; well treated on that form but she's been generally disappointing since her last success and was beaten 4l when third at Bath last time; needs to raise her game and she's untried at this trip. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 4 (4) |
1st Jul 2026 Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Scored readily off this mark/under Ashley Lewis last October (1m, AW); turf win came over C&D but looks best watched here having ran so poorly in refitted cheekpieces at Salisbury 17 days ago (finished three places behind Sant Alessio). |
20/1 |
|
10th 7 (1) |
14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Placed three consecutive times on turf (1m, good to form-heavy) in refitted cheekpieces in September and won on Polytrack (1m) the following month; made satisfactory reappearance ten days ago (no headgear) and is of interest with cheekpices back on again here. |
12/1 |
