Retains plenty of gusto aged nine and scored in big field at Chelmsford most recently, completing an AW hat-trick; successful (off just 1lb lower) in this race two years ago; likely player. |

9st 9lb |
Won a 7f handicap here (AW) for Michael Attwater last summer but that is his sole win from 26 starts and he's generally struggled since; comes with risks attached after 165 days off but he needs checking in market for new yard. |

Has six wins to his name but yet to score for his current trainer; best recent effort when runner-up at Lingfield (5f, AW) last month; not out of this. |

22nd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Had to challenge wide when fourth of 11 over C&D (good to firm) in May and he went close to breaking his AW duck at Lingfield (5f) last time; has won over C&D and every chance he'll be bang there. |
5/1 |

Six turf wins, three in 2025; 0-22 on AW and although having a healthy pull at the weights with Desdemona on their C&D run in February he's not looked in peak form on last two starts. |

14th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Showed career-best form when winning at Lingfield (6f, soft) two starts ago and is also suited by this C&D but could be a shade vulnerable off a mark this high. |
8/1 |
|
6th 5 (2) |
12th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Consistent 5yo who came clear with the second when justifying market support last weekend at Lingfield (6f, soft); carries a 5lb penalty and Myla Coppins claimed 7lb on Saturday, so these terms are tougher; still a likely contender and any rain welcomed. |
7/2 |
|
1st 7 (6) |
6th Jun 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Modest strike-rate in the last 14 months but he is generally consistent and is versatile as regards surfaces; form figures off current mark read 222; could go one better, with Myla Coppins taking off 7lb. |

Front-runner who is not as good as he was but ran okay to be beaten 2l over 1m in a classified race last time; expect a very positive ride back at 7f. |
10/1 |

8th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 216y Class 6 |

Front-runner who's regressed sharply and again pulled hard when well fancied on his first crack at 0-50 classified company last time; needs to settle better back up from 7f. |

19th Jun 2025 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |

9st 6lb |
2-2 over C&D (both in 2023) and tends to come to hand around this time of year; back on a fair mark and offered more last time, so there are positives for a yard that took this three years ago. |
8/1 |

3rd 2 (6) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Three wins at both sprint trips on this course, on good to firm and good; one to keep an eye on as she's been a regular winner down the years but she came home in her own time on her recent return from a break so another run or two might be in order. |
14/1 |

5th 6 (5) |
30th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Most wins have come in the second half of the year and always after a recent outing; returns from four months off and she might need a bit more help from the handicapper. |

24th Mar 2025 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 5 |
8st 8lb |
Best form has come here including all three wins (7f/1m); just 2lb above his last winning mark, but his record in Class 5 handicaps or higher reads 5864097 so he may again find a few too strong. |

28th Jan 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
4-20 on AW (wins include Polytrack) and she's been running with plenty of credit since December; little wiggle room in this mark but she's likely to give another good account. |

8th 3 (6) |
25th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |

9th 1 (1) |
7th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Won over 6f here in February but also has wins over 7f; running well at present but is 2lb higher than when winning at Newbury (7f, good to firm) in August and she requires a career-best to win here. |

0-14 for this yard but he went very close at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW) in February and again in April; last month's return to turf at Hamilton (1m1f, good to soft) wasn't up with those efforts though. |

10th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Justified favouritism in a C&D handicap in April off 5lb lower; beaten a nose at Lingfield later that month and then met trouble in running at Ripon last week; should remain competitive. |
8/1 |

6th 4 (2) |
3rd Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
5yo who was in top form on AW in the spring, with a win at Kempton (1m) being sandwiched by two seconds; showed some promise in May 2024 when he last raced on turf; key player if transferring good form back to grass. |

10st 1lb |
Pulled up on hurdle debut when last seen but he's a dual AW winner who is well handicapped on his second at Doncaster (1m, good) last summer; has run well when fresh in the past and he needs watching in market on reappearance; refused to enter stalls in last intended start. |

2nd Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Both wins have been on AW, latest over C&D off 4lb higher in March; ran best race since when 3l second to a well-backed subsequent winner at Kempton last week (7f; blinkers on for second time); headgear retained; chance. |
4/1 |

2nd 2 (7) |
24th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
4lb higher than for his Chelmsford win in March; his other success came over C&D in January 2024; has the ability to feature but he's disappointed at Lingfield (AW) and Brighton on last two starts; headgear now returns. |

9st 6lb |
Won a 7f handicap at Southwell on his second run back with Dean Ivory; unable to back it up in a Class 5 a fortnight later; fully effective over C&D but others appear to hold stronger claims. |

6th 5 (8) |
20th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Beat only one rival home at Chelmsford (1m, AW) on his first start since returning to this yard following a 161-day break, but he stepped forward from that when winning over this C&D 15 days ago; up in grade following a 3lb rise. |
7/1 |

1st 3 (11) |
5th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Back with former yard after five months off but beat just one in 1m Chelmsford handicap three weeks ago; a fair 7f winner at his best, so he can't be totally dismissed with that run under his belt. |
