21st Jun 2025 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Last-gasp win under Taryn Langley in a warm race at Lingfield (2m, AW) on Good Friday; bumped into a well-handicapped rival at Goodwood (2m, good) since and respected off the same mark for last year's winning yard. |

3rd May 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Won off 2lb higher at Goodwood (1m6f, good) last May, form which he's failed to match since but his last-gasp win under Taryn Langley in a warm race at Lingfield (2m, AW) 15 days ago was a healthy step back in the right direction; back up 4lb but back in serious calculations. |

Has proved consistent on the AW since last September, including when winning at Southwell (1m6f, Tapeta) last month; has run well off this mark in both outings since and looks one for the shortlist. |

12th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Minor honours in his last four AW races (1m5f/2m) but well beaten in his only two turf starts this term and absent since June; he has won twice but is not straightforward and does not look the percentage call; yard runs four. |
12/1 |

13th Jun 2025 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Strong traveller who's far from easy and has hung both ways (normally to the left); arrives in good form for a yard among the winners, though, and is on a mark off which he can win when things fall right. |
7/1 |

2 (2) |
5th Jun 2025 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Hurdle winner who got off the mark on the Flat over C&D in December; couple of creditable thirds here since then but he flopped at Ascot (last of eight) last month and needs to bounce back after that 13l defeat; stablemate of Donald Llewellyn. |

9th Jul 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Won over C&D in January on second handicap start and ran well in defeat the next twice, most recently fourth of 14 at Lingfield (2m, AW) in April in first-time cheekpieces (retained); this lightly raced 4yo could still have more to offer and he's a contender if fully tuned up after a break. |

Lightly raced 4yo who has improved since handicapping, including a narrow success at Kempton (2m, Polytrack) in January; cheekpieces now given a go and he may still have more to offer. |

21st May 2026 Soft 2m 0f 45y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Inconsistent for new yard in the second half of last year but posted wins at Musselburgh (2m2f, good to soft) and Nottingham (1m6f, heavy; when last seen); in the mix if at the top of her game on this reappearance. |
2/1 |

2 (6) |
23rd Oct 2025 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Won at Musselburgh (2m2f, good to soft) last month on second stable start and didn't see out the stiff finish at Pontefract (2m2f, soft) last time; she's not discounted now back down in trip. |
13/2 |

20th Sep 2025 Good 2m 2f 0y Class 2 |
8st 6lb |
Ultra game from the front when winning last week's 2m2f Musselburgh Gold Cup (good to soft); effectively 4lb lower with Ashley Lewis taking off 7lb, but she had a very yard race and this rise in class may find her out. |

9st 2lb |
Dry since a C&D win off 12lb higher early last year and will need to put a couple of below-par efforts behind him; the return to Polytrack will help, though, and he can never be ruled out round here. |
5/1 |

23rd Aug 2025 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Some respectable efforts this year; however, form dipped sharply last time (in race won by Macari) and his losing run is mounting up. |

19th Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Fairly useful Flat stayer who drew clear to score by over 6l at Aintree (2mf, good) in May and is now 2-3 over hurdles; has the big 12lb penalty here and Sean Bowen is replaced by an amateur but could be seen to even better effect over this longer trip; tongue-tie added. |

15th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 209y Class 4 |

Four-time winner on the Flat for Richard Hughes and it's been a promising start over hurdles, winning a Southwell maiden last time without too much fuss (good); penalised accordingly but sets the standard. |

1st Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |

Fairly useful four-time AW Flat winner in these silks for Richard Hughes and promising second of ten on his Warwick hurdle debut (2m, good to soft) for Olly Murphy 24 days ago; entitled to improve and the one to beat. |

19th Jun 2026 Good 1m 3f 218y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Struggled over 1m at Southwell last month but relished the step back up in trip when winning at Brighton (1m4f, good to firm) three weeks ago; still fairly treated on his old form off this 3lb higher mark and has claims. |
100/30 |

1st 7 (8) |
29th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 198y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
1m2f win here (good to firm) kicked off a four-timer in 2023 for Tony Carroll but he took a while to rediscover his level before scoring at Chepstow (1m4f, good; first-time blinkers) for this yard one year ago; raced mainly over further without success since and latest start over 1m can be written off; handy mark and he's not discounted on just his second visit to Brighton. |

Prolific AW winner, most recently when darting 14l clear at Wolverhampton (2m) in June; narrowly exploited lower turf mark at Lingfield (2m, good to firm) last month but he pulled clear with the runner-up and remains feasibly treated off 4lb higher; shortlisted. |

Won five in the early months of last year, including over C&D; often pulls hard and it's been costing him this summer but this is easier than he's used to, so no shock to see him bounce back. |

6th 7 (2) |
18th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 5 |

Off the mark on turf when beating five rivals at Doncaster (1m4f, good to soft) last month but he was beaten 8l when fifth of ten off this mark at York (1m4f, good to firm) 19 days ago; now drops back in trip. |

5th 7 (4) |
10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 188y Class 4 |

Five-time AW winner who made it sixteenth time lucky on turf when seeing off five rivals over 1m4f at Doncaster (good to soft) under Conor Whiteley 26 days ago; 3lb higher in a deeper race now but the Michael Herrington stable continues in good form. |

9st 13lb |
Six-time AW winner but she's 0-13 on turf; chased home a lightly raced 3yo at Carlisle (1m6f, good) on her penultimate start, though, and she has form on a testing surface; no surprise to see her in the shake-up. |

All six wins have been on AW, the latest over C&D last November off 3lb lower; not so good on turf but was runner up at Carlisle (1m6f, good) last Tuesday which holds her in good stead for this return to AW. |

2nd 4 (3) |
11th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 32y Class 4 |

A three-time AW scorer (at up to 1m6f) in 2025; largely in good form this season and recorded a solid third of 11 over C&D in June; not out of things after a break. |
