16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Creditable third off 9lb higher over C&D on soft ground (acts on good to firm) last September in his only Epsom race; AW campaign in the winter for new yard did not go at all well until he perked up a bit in February on his last two outings; needs to build on that after his break but he's too well handicapped to be ignored. |

4th 4 (1) |
14th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Struggled early on for this yard (at huge prices) but he was dropped into a Class 6 at Wolverhampton (1m4f) 12 days ago, backed into 11-8 favouritism and duly returned to form, finding only an in-form rival too good; 1lb rise not an issue given what he was capable of last year; key player. |
2/1 |

2nd 2 (8) |
2nd Feb 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
11st 2lb |
Two wins (1m2f/1m4f) in 2025 for previous yard, but he's raced in the rear and stayed there in all five runs for this trainer; on dangerous mark on this drop back in grade but he needs to rediscover his spark. |

16th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 197y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Won at Chelmsford (1m2f, AW) last spring but he's struggled in his last eight starts including over hurdles in last two runs; now 10lb lower than for his last success but he needs a big turnaround for new yard (has changed hands and left Mike Smith); hood removed and cheekpieces return. |

2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 51y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Two Flat wins but form went the wrong way in that code from last August onwards and he was pulled up at 150-1 on hurdle debut four weeks ago. |

Two wins in Britain were on AW; ground should suit but might prefer a longer trip; hard-earned Newcastle win last September was over an extended 1m4f. |

28th Sep 2025 Good 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Successful three times in May/June but his progress has seemingly come to an end; admittedly may benefit from this drop back in grade after a couple of Class 3 defeats. |
12/1 |

6th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 3 |
8st 12lb |
In good form on turf until folding tamely and well held last time; consistent in defeat on AW (four attempts) but he's 9lb higher than last appearance in this sphere. |
16/1 |

2nd Aug 2025 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Progressive 4yo who has won three times this season (1m2f-1m4f, good to firm/good) and again ran well when third of five at Newbury (1m4f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; there's every chance he'll be thereabouts. |

15th Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Three-time Flat winner (1m-1m2f; good or quicker) who returns to hurdles after two fair Flat efforts following wind surgery; took a step forward when a promising fourth on handicap hurdle debut at Plumpton (2m, good to soft) in March and remains capable of better in this sphere; leading contender off a 2lb lower mark. |
7/2 |

4th 4 (6) |
29th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 198y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Three-time turf winner, including when just fending off OJ Lifestyle at Epsom (extended 1m, good; first-time visor) in July; following wind surgery he stuck at it from the rear when fifth over 1m2f (AW) last month and has run well over this trip previously; mark fine and he needs considering. |
3/1 |

5th 1 (8) |
20th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
A dual 1m/1m2f winner in 2025 who arrives in decent nick, fourth over hurdles at Plumpton 42 days ago; has since had breathing surgery and visor goes back on here. |

13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Three-time winner who didn't get the breaks when sixth on her stable debut at Newcastle at the start of May and she went down narrowly at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW) 17 days later; these conditions should be fine and she warrants consideration. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 1 (6) |
18th May 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Three wins for Ed Dunlop; sold for 5,000gns last October; denied a run on several occasions on her stable debut at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) 17 days ago; will be suited by the step back up in trip and not out of this. |

6th 5 (4) |
1st May 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |

Patchy during a limited campaign last year for Ed Dunlop; wins as a 3yo came on soft turf and this trip looks a bare minimum for her new yard on comeback. |

Took this in 2025 for Michael Wigham; also won for Barry Brennan at Wolverhampton in November but well below par in three runs for that yard this season; starts out for another stable here with something to prove. |

31st May 2025 Good To Soft 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Six AW wins since December, including a four-timer in February/March after the cheekpieces went on; four defeats have followed but he was staying on again when hampered in the closing stages over the extended 1m2f here last time, suggesting this return to a longer trip may suit. |

11th Jul 2026 Good 1m 6f 87y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Has a patchy profile but he hasn't been with current yard for long and he won at Bath (1m6f, good) last month; only sixth of seven here (2m) last time but he ran well for a long way and was beaten less than 4l; still looks on a workable mark and he could make a bold bid back in trip. |
11/2 |

6th 5 (5) |
27th Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 196y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Ex-Charlie Johnston for whom he finished third in this last year (2lb higher); joined Rod Millman for 6,000gns; tailed off on yard debut but always in the van when battling on best at Bath (1m6f, good); only 2lb higher but he's up into a Class 4 now. |
