24th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Dual firm-ground Bath winner this season, latterly off 3lb lower for Owen Lewis late last month; as high in the weights now as he's been for a few years and his record round here is nothing exciting. |
4/1 |

1st 3 (1) |
31st Jul 2026 Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Has much better strike-rate on AW but recovered from slow start to win here (5f, firm) on turf return in May, and this longer trip will arguably suit him better; needs to bounce back from two down-the-field runs but was denied a clear run on first occasion; can't be ruled out. |
11/2 |

10th 4 (5) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Better known on AW; can lead but he came from off the pace when winning at Bath (5f, firm) last month under James Glennon; nothing went right from a wide draw at Beverley since but he does act well on fast ground and has a generally good record over C&D (course winner at 5f); thereabouts. |

24th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Won a C&D handicap last month but twice a beaten favourite in classified events here shortly afterwards; had a short break since but he has more to do off his revised mark; one of four runners for Tony Carroll. |
8/1 |

13th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |

Better than the bare result (met traffic issues late on) in similar event on Monday when bidding for a quickfire C&D double; can be treated as still in form; enters calculations. |

9th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Returned to form with cheekpieces reapplied when landing a C&D handicap (4-1) last Monday; has a penalty back in a classified event but that was a comfortable success last time and all of his AW wins have come at this track; key player. |

27th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Three-time Polytrack winner who has plenty of toe and does a lot of her racing over 5f, as when turning in her best turf effort to date last time (not saying much); may be vulnerable late but should be able to grab the stand rail in front if that's the plan. |
12/1 |

2nd Jun 2025 Good 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Three-time Lingfield winner last year who's achieved little in four runs on turf; this is easier back in cheekpieces but stall 9 isn't ideal for a front-runner and she wasn't at her best when last seen. |

6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Gained four of his five wins at this track (two over 7f) but has largely been disappointing over the last couple of year and hopes of him adding to his tally are beginning to fade. |

4th 9 (4) |
18th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Completed a hat-trick in the spring of 2024 but he's drawn a blank since then and has been beaten 6l or more in his last five runs; opposable. |

16th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Quirky veteran who's always reliant on some luck given her run style; landed a fifth win here when going in over C&D for Myla Coppins last month and may get this run to suit; player. |
8/1 |

5th 9 (5) |
25th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |

She had been threatening prior to last week's come-from-behind win at Wolverhampton (5f); penalty demands a bit more but she should remain competitive. |
9/2 |

1st 6 (3) |
17th Feb 2026 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |

Multiple course winner; she hasn't been beaten far on her last three runs and should give it another good go. |

9th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |

28th Mar 2025 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
C&D winner; knocking at the door at Wolverhampton of late, second last month and then running a fine race for third back there 11 days ago when setting a strong pace and only picked off late; well drawn and another big run looks assured. |
7/1 |

3rd 10 (6) |
17th Mar 2025 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Wins have come mainly from the front and he came back to form when making most behind Global Effort over C&D last time (0-50 classified); is 2lb better off with that one and has a handy draw. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 10 (2) |
25th Feb 2025 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |

C&D win last summer at this level; chased home My Turn Now at Chelmsford in November but he's not been at that level on his last three starts; well drawn but needs a revival. |
11/2 |
Verdict
With several of these liking to be up there this should be run at a solid gallop which ought to suit Second Collection, who is just 1lb higher than when winning at Wolverhampton last time. Unavailable is still favourably treated after a 3lb rise for her win here last month but, despite the widest stall, this can go to the ultra-consistent NORDIC GLORY. He loves it around here and ran very well at this venue last time on his return from a break.[David Bellingham]
