22nd Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Looked a non-stayer over 1m4f in June and was never in contention after a slow start at Salisbury (1m2f) in June; now back on her last winning mark and not out of this. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 8 (4) |
14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 201y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Returns to her optimum trip, having looked a non-stayer over 1m4f last time; likely player on the pick of her 1m2f form, namely two wins (2024/2025) and a creditable second (last autumn). |
8/1 |

4th Jun 2026 Good 1m 3f 209y Class 5 |

Effective on good and heavy; quiet comeback run and she can be inconsistent, but she's a dual winner on a fair mark and very capable at this level. |

9st 5lb |
No win on turf since successful over C&D (good to firm) in July 2024; losing run up to 12, but 4lb below his last winning mark and has won on soft ground; shortlisted. |
4/1 |
|
5th 1 (6) |
12th Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 209y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Placed here (1m2f, good) in June, after a break, and not discredited when second of four over C&D (good) last month; remains well handicapped on some of his winter AW form and can make his presence felt again. |

Great pedigree, by Frankel and from the family of Oaks/King George winner Taghrooda; nothing to shout about in three novices and again when beaten about 10l on handicap debut at Haydock (1m3f, good to soft) despite going off favourite. |

28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Won off 1lb lower at Salisbury (1m2f, good to firm) last June, but she's had only three runs since and has struggled in last two; has something to prove after another break and she needs a major revival. |
14/1 |
|

24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 209y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Off since a quiet run on the AW in December and that was after 147 days away so current wellbeing is an issue; however, only 3lb higher than when making all at Salisbury last summer (1m2f, good to firm) so not handicapped out of it. |
15/2 |

10th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |

31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Seven of his eight wins have come at Ffos Las and the ground can't be too soft for him, with five of those successes coming on heavy; back off last winning mark and although unplaced in four visits here, he can't be dismissed. |
8/1 |
|
5th 8 (7) |
23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Gained his last four wins on heavy ground at Ffos Las (1m-1m2f); handles fast ground but is yet to strike form after three runs this season and might still be too high in the weights. |
25/1 |

6th 6 (6) |

2nd Jul 2025 Good 1m 2f 17y Class 5 |

C&D winner who continues to drop down the weights; however, he's struggled on his five outings since last July and a major turnaround is needed. |
20/1 |

3rd Jun 2025 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Won three times in 2023, including here over 1m2f, but he's not been in the same form in four starts since being gelded; possibly needed the outing over 1m at Kempton last time and now steps back up to 1m4f, which should suit, with better needed. |

Made successful debut for this yard in a Hamilton handicap (1m, good) and even better the last twice, making the frame over C&D (good) and at Carlisle (1m1f, soft); mark hasn't really gone anywhere for those last two runs and cheekpieces are now added with Brandon Wilkie booked; solid claims. |

3-13 here, taking advantage of a favourable mark when successful at this track (1m, good to firm; first-time cheekpieces) this month; only 2lb higher and still well treated on last summer's form; player. |
7/2 |

1st 4 (3) |
2nd Jun 2025 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Four wins last summer, latterly off a 7lb higher mark, and has come back to form round here lately; often blows the start and can pull hard, while it's late in the day to be trying headgear for the first time, but he remains quite capable if things fall right. |

Back off the same mark as when winning over 7f here in September; has won fresh so the four-month absence not a major problem, but he has never tackled a trip this short before; blinkers are given a go. |

17th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

Boasts a decent record in handicaps round here (two wins and two seconds from six starts) and ran better than his final position suggests over C&D from a wide stall two weeks ago; one to consider. |
12/1 |

9th 3 (9) |
3rd Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

Didn't get home at Southwell (7f, Tapeta) last month, but his record in handicaps around here reads 21412, his latest win coming over this trip in November after six months off; still just 1lb higher and respected; stable also runs Bungle Bay. |
