3rd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
7lb lower than when last successful here (1m4f) a year ago and has run some creditable races in the meantime, but he hasn't tackled a trip this short in almost two years; others more solid. |

7th 2 (4) |
28th Jun 2026 Standard 2m 0f 120y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Ran well when second of nine in returning cheekpieces at Leicester (1m4f, good) 15 days ago, but all seven wins have been on the AW; still 6lb lower than for the latest of those, but he attempts beyond 1m6f for the first time on his 63rd outing. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 3f 179y Class 6 |

All seven wins have been on the AW (1m2f-1m4f) and he ran creditably on his last two starts; however, he's yet to finish in the first three in five starts on turf and others are preferred; cheekpieces are back on for the first time since 2024. |

17th Feb 2026 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Good run on his handicap debut last January but struggled since, including both runs for new trainer this year; dropped 7lb for his troubles but not easily recommended. |
20/1 |

7th 8 (8) |
7th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Low-mileage 5yo; best run from his seven starts came when second of 11 to The Bay Warrior over C&D last January; struggled since but he is now 6lb lower and last month's stable debut/return from ten-month absence should have sharpened him up. |
25/1 |

13th Mar 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |

Much better on his handicap debut, upped from 1m to 1m3f, early in the year but was said to have stopped quickly when a beaten-favourite next time; that leaves him something to prove. |

18th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Broke duck at Yarmouth (1m2f, good to firm) in May 2025 and some good efforts in defeat followed later in the year; however, it's been a slow process recapturing form for new yard and was well held when second of five back at Yarmouth recently; no good thing to take advantage of a tempting mark. |

2nd 3 (5) |
2nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 23y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Well handicapped on some of last year's form for Alice Haynes that includes a fast-ground C&D win but has not been competitive on any of four starts for new stable this season (cheekpieces refitted last time); considered only if lively in the betting. |

Won two of his four starts (1m2f-1m4f) since joining Tony Carroll, including for today's rider; dropping back to 1m not sure to play to his strengths though. |

30th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Four-time winner for Ed Dunlop and he made it 2-3 for current yard when landing novice amateurs' race at Catterick (1m4f, good to firm) two weeks ago; up another 2lb but remains well treated on his old form, and four of his wins have come over this trip; leading contender. |
9/4 |

1st 3 (3) |
15th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 13y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Four-time winner for Ed Dunlop; lost his way in Ireland but bounced back to make a winning start for Tony Carroll at Chepstow (1m2f, good to soft; fine on faster) last month; possibly found the run coming too soon when only fifth over 1m at Brighton six days later; probably stays 1m4f and retains handicapping scope on his best form. |

Registered his most recent win off just 1lb lower over 1m4f here in February but hasn't shown enough in two runs back from a break to suggest his turn is near. |

Yet to add to his C&D win just over two years ago but lost out only by a neck when clear second back here (1m2f, good) 12 days ago and is sure to be suited by this move back up in trip; high on the list. |

6th Jun 2025 Good 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Former Group 3 winner who's been on the slide for a while now; suggested he was about to exploit a much reduced mark when fourth at Wolverhampton (9.4f) last month and he attracted good support when keeping on for third at Brighton (1m2f, good to soft) ten days ago; overall profile far from persuasive but he still warrants consideration. |
3/1 |
|
3rd 6 (1) |
27th May 2025 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Suggested he might be able to exploit his much reduced mark soon when fourth at Wolverhampton (9.4f) a fortnight ago but his run at Kempton (1m4f) on Wednesday was a backward step and he remains without a win since his Irish Group 3 success in June 2022. |

10st 2lb |
Smooth success at Nottingham (1m2f, good) on her reappearance in April; four solid efforts have followed, most recently a close second at Windsor 18 days ago when she was only picked off late; should remain competitive off an unchanged mark. |

10th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |

Looked as good as ever when scoring in good style on seasonal debut at Nottingham (1m2f, good) in April but subsequent efforts, though respectable, suggest she's a shade vulnerable off her current mark. |

13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |

Nine wins at this course (7f-1m4f), including three this year; remains in top form, having finished runner-up here on his last two starts; must be strongly considered on his favoured track. |

9th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Took this in 2025 and he comes here better than ever, bagging a third course win of 2026 in February; posted a very good second in another 7f handicap here last time so rates a big player off an unchanged mark. |
5/4 |

2nd 4 (5) |
13th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Better than ever since dropped back to 7f, determinedly adding a third win from four C&D starts three weeks ago; this class didn't look beyond him when 1l third here before that, just behind stablemate Legal Reform; some wriggle room judged on peak RPRs even off a new career-high mark. |
