5th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
All seven wins have been on the AW, two of them over C&D, but his last three runs have been abysmal; perhaps he'll be freshened up by ten weeks off but he's difficult to recommend. |
33/1 |
|
10th 7 (11) |
25th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
All seven wins have been on AW and latest was over C&D in January; found more progress when a close third off this mark at Lingfield (1m, Polytrack) in April but he's been tailed off back on turf in last two runs; now returns to scene of his last success but he needs to bounce back near best. |

Seven-time AW scorer, mainly over 1m, most recently in January; latest effort (failed to beat a rival) took turf record to 0-16; enough to prove back over 7f for first time in five years. |

20th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Stays 1m but all eight of his wins have come over 7f, the latest at Kempton 18 days ago; should get a good pace to aim at and he holds each-way claims again. |

1st 7 (6) |
2nd Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Well held after a slow start here (1m) 12 days ago but that was after two solid placed efforts at Lingfield (7f/1m); losing run is now up to 15 but he's on a dangerous mark and could get involved if he gets a good pace and some luck; cheekpieces removed. |

29th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Back to winning ways off this mark at Lingfield (1m, AW; cheekpieces first time) in April; he hasn't built on that and others may have his measure. |

9th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Five-time course winner, most recently off 2lb higher last November; however, last few efforts leave a doubt over his current form; this 8yo needs to prove resurgent. |
14/1 |

7th 10 (7) |
12th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Can lead; all eight wins on the AW, five over this C&D; faded into midfield having been drawn wide here in May and soft ground can be given as an excuse for failing to beat a rival at Goodwood (1m) two months ago; could go well back on this surface. |

Made it third-time lucky when landing a C&D novice in November and he went very close on handicap debut at Lingfield (1m4f) in January; now takes a big drop back in trip but he's travelled smoothly in his last two runs and is only 1lb higher than last time; respected. |

9st 10lb |
Three wins at around 1m on AW last year but she's finished down the field in three runs at Kempton in 2025; edging back down the weights but she has some questions to answer and is untried at this trip; cheekpieces worn last time are removed. |

13th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |

Had a productive spell between last autumn and this spring, winning four times; subsequent defeats can be excused for one reason or another; however, needs a career best to defy current mark in this field. |

7th 3 (3) |
23rd Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Prominent racer; in better forrm than his figures might suggest and he is only 2lb higher than when dominating a Class 3, albeit a weak one, at Lingfield in May; one of two runners for Tony Carroll. |
6/1 |
|
5th 2 (9) |
12th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Made all in a 0-95 at Lingfield (7.5f, good to firm) in May off a 3lb lower mark than today's but he did too much too soon over 1m2f at Sandown two months ago; dropping back in trip should suit this C&D winner. |

9th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Has plenty of C&D form, including a spring win that ended a long losing spell and showed he retains plenty of vitality aged eight; effective when fresh; could go well on return from 85-day break. |
8/1 |
|
5th 1 (5) |
16th Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
He's done most of his racing at Kempton and hasn't shone in two starts round here; popped up off a 4lb lower mark last time, back from a short break, but will need to better that under Ruby Criscuolo, who's taking just her fifth ride under rules. |
8/1 |

1st 11 (8) |
27th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
C&D winner in 2022 and narrowly failed to land a gamble off 1lb lower under these conditions just before Christmas; not as effective since but is worth a market check, particularly versus John Butler's other two runners. |

19th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Two wins over C&D but his mark suffered after a comfortable win at Sandown (1m, good) around a year ago; handicapper's releasing his grip and last time's fifth at Ffos Las was a step in the right direction, however; might go well. |

Won three over this trip last year, twice from the front on turf, latterly off a 3lb lower mark; well held in two runs back but this is less competitive under Billy Loughnane and he may well be able to get his own way in this smaller field; possibilities if so. |

22nd Jun 2026 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |

Regressive maiden who hasn't looked to see it out in a few previous tries at this trip, including over C&D this time last year; back in form here last time and this looks weaker again, given a second try in cheekpieces (in place of blinkers); stamina the question. |
2/1 |

3rd 2 (11) |
29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 216y Class 6 |

Blinkered when he hit a run of second spots at 7f and 1m last summer, including here (soft; acts on good to firm) in September; had previously looked unlucky on a couple of those occasions and the blinkers were absent when never figuring at Lingfield ten days ago; might do better with that aid now refitted and he's dangerously handicapped; watch the market. |
