27th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Dual sprint winner for previous yard; best effort for new stable when fifth over C&D on penultimate start; chance of faring better partly depends on how well he responds to first-time headgear. |
12/1 |
|
12th 4 (2) |
6th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Not beaten far into fifth at Wolverhampton seven weeks ago (7f), his second run for new connections; dropping to a stiff 6f should help and he still has time on his side. |
12/1 |
|
5 (6) |
24th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Won a 5f novice at Wolverhampton on his second start and followed up in a 6f handicap at Kempton in January; absent since finishing down the field in a Listed race at Chantilly (6.5f, AW) in March; should be capable of better but raced exclusively on AW and the suitability of heavy going has to be taken on trust. |

Improved with each of her three starts this winter, running out a cosy winner of a 5f maiden at Wolverhampton when last seen 126 days ago; brings potential to this handicap debut and she's not ruled out. |

28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Just the one win to his name from 18 attempts but it came off this mark; poor run at Epsom two weeks ago but that was 6f and today's trip should be more suitable; the addition of blinkers could give him the necessary lift. |
10/1 |
|
8th 8 (7) |
14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Went close off slightly higher marks on consecutive starts in May (6f/5f) and comes here after two respectable 5f thirds at Lingfield (AW/turf) last month; no surprise if he features. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 6 (4) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 4f 217y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Just 1-16 but his win was over C&D (good) last summer; has been up and down this season but he had a near-miss at Goodwood in May and was a fair third on AW here last time; usually races prominently and it wouldn't be a surprise if he made a bold bid. |

1st Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has shown all of her AW form on Tapeta; below best in a light 2026 campaign but is well treated provided she's resurgent on Polytrack debut; 1lb below last winning mark. |
14/1 |
|
6th 7 (2) |
6th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Well beaten on both runs this year (5f), here most recently, and a major turnaround is necessary; however, the form of the stable catches the eye and she won over C&D last October; back up in trip today; interesting. |

30th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Again hung left when winning a small-field Polytrack handicap in February; absent for four months since a poor effort off this mark at Chelmsford and goes in a first-time tongue-tie here (had a wind op last autumn). |
8/1 |
|
6th 2 (1) |
8th Mar 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Going the right way and made his handicap debut a winning one in four-runner race at Lingfield (5f; 8-1) last month, quickening to lead last 100 yards; open to further improvement and should go well again. |
11/4 |
|
1st 3 (1) |
2nd Feb 2025 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Form figures of 753 reflect that he's moving steadily in the right direction; hung left the last twice, perhaps still green; interesting handicap debutant, with another step forward possible. |

31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 3y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Prominent racer; arrives on the back of a Brighton win (5.3f, good to firm) last week, form boosted by the runner-up's win on Friday; took this race 12 months ago off a 7lb lower mark; lots to like but the suitability of ground slower than good is still to be proven. |
7/2 |
|
1st 1 (5) |
24th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 60y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Back on his last successful mark (AW) and wins at Epsom and Chepstow (both on good ground) last summer suggest today's course should be fine; won't mind the return to 5f, either, having been pestered in front last time, and is one to consider. |
7/1 |
|
5th 5 (3) |
20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Two turf wins last summer and three AW wins this year, the latest at Wolverhampton in April; ran well when third of five at Salisbury next time but three lesser runs have followed and he needs to raise his game. |

27th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

0-16 and he failed to beat a rival in 6f Windsor handicap last time after a very slow start; not one to rely on. |
8/1 |
|
12th 5 (1) |
17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
0-15, albeit with competitive form off higher marks; easily best show this season was his Chepstow second on penultimate start; tried blinkers latest and now reverts to last season's cheekpieces; his yard won this race last year and a case can be made but others are more compelling. |
9/1 |

4th 5 (6) |
9th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |

0-14 but has competitive form off higher marks and was runner-up over 5f here two weeks ago; won't be hindered by returning to 6f and blinkers might give him a lift. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
A stout stayer over 1m and Salisbury's stiff test suited him in May (good) where he overcame trouble in running to lead near the line; has had excuses since but he has a good run in him if this is truly run. |

Record of 4-9 in 1m events on turf, most recently scoring at Salisbury on penultimate start; well held in competitive 1m2f event latest; drop back to ideal trip is the angle with him. |
