23rd Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 6 |

Put a poor run behind him when second at Lingfield (1m2f) three weeks ago and will be suited by this move back up in trip but some of the younger ones appeal more all the same. |

2nd 2 (2) |
3rd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

Only 1-26; had lost his way but back to form with two seconds, latterly behind Rating at Chepstow (1m, good to firm); should feature and has run well in the reapplied blinkers (replacing cheekpieces). |

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. |

17th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
11st 5lb |
Had a question mark over the return to 1m at Salisbury recently and his third there was a remote one; had been in good form for this yard previously, winning in good style under William Pearman at Chepstow (1m2f) in June and then over 1m4f at Catterick; all three AW wins have come on Polytrack but he ran respectably in one previous C&D attempt; solid chance. |

30th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |

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. |

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. |

28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 197y Class 5 |
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. |

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. |
