Six-race maiden who has been a weak finisher over 7f/1m since handicapping; sister to a 6f winner for her connections and looks interesting returned to this trip on classified debut. |

26th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Opened his turf account when making a winning yard debut off 7lb lower at Redcar (6f, good to firm) last month; placed in two starts since, latest at that same track over this trip (ahead of Cooperation); comes here in good form and looks likely to go well again. |

20th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Gained first turf win over 6f here (good to firm; stable debut) on penultimate start, and backed up with a solid effort (runner-up) at Doncaster; no issue with this longer trip and, while a combined 7lb rise will make life tougher, he's the one who arrives in the best form. |

7th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Five-time AW winner who made his belated breakthrough on turf when scoring on recent stable debut at Redcar (6f); up 5lb but he was as good as ever last time and has claims if he can back that up; last run was on good to firm but he's also effective on good to soft. |

9st 0lb |
Eight-time turf winner including three over C&D (good to firm/firm); disappointing effort on his final start last year and he was held in sixth here on his reappearance 12 days ago; may come on for that. |

17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Eight-time turf winner including three over C&D (good to firm/firm); well handicapped on his best form in 2025 but he's not easy to predict and he ended last season on a low note; market should guide after 169 days off. |

9st 0lb |
Struggled back on turf last twice but he ran lots of good races on AW in the spring and is well treated on his two wins late last year; has record of 29123 at Chelmsford and he looks interesting back in this sphere. |
10/1 |

30th Jul 2025 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Both of his wins have been on AW over 7f and he's yet to finish in the first three in six starts on turf; failed to beat a rival at Yarmouth (1m, good) three weeks ago and now drops back down to 6f with the visor back on (replacing cheekpieces); probably better on AW over a bit further. |
14/1 |

9th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Both wins over 7f on AW; form took a slight dip the last twice, finishing fourth in two turf classifieds, latterly here (1m, good; second go at the trip) lat month; on the plus side he's down to his last winning mark and seemed to stay this distance last time. |

23rd May 2025 Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Three-time Wolverhampton 7f winner who rarely runs on turf or in sprints these days; usually has plenty of use made of him but whether he'll be able to hold a pitch, down in trip from the outside stall, remains to be seen. |

6th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Regularly misses the break; form has nosedived since winning at Southwell (7f, AW; first-time blinkers) in January, including when beaten nearly 15l in a similar event over C&D one month ago; can't be recommended at present. |

Regularly misses the break; second to Fact Or Fable in this race last year and won at this track (7f, good to firm) in September; back on the scoresheet at Southwell (7f, AW; first-time blinkers) in January but quiet since and he ran poorly at Brighton last time when back from a break. |

9st 9lb |
Six-time AW winner for Alice Haynes; well below best form for new stable this year but his two recent turf runs in this grade (1m/7f, good to firm) were fairly respectable, and he might be boosted by the refitted blinkers here. |

Six-time AW winner for Alice Haynes; out of form for new stable this year (five runs) but took step back in right direction when respectable sixth in this grade at Thirsk (1m, good to firm) last month and may benefit from this drop back in trip. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 6 |

Six-time AW winner for Alice Haynes, the most recent coming at Chelmsford last August; 5lb lower than for that success but he's been well held in four starts since joining this stable. |
