24th Feb 2026 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Capable on her day as she showed when beaten a neck (clear of the third) at Wolverhampton (1m6f, Tapeta) on her penultimate start; not the most consistent, though, and has run poorly in both starts over C&D; apprentice-ridden for last 11 starts but Dylan Hogan on board today. |

23rd Jan 2026 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Reasonably consistent mare who is a four-time AW scorer; clear second at Wolverhampton (1m6f) most recently; stays 2m; may remain competitive back up just 2lb. |

30th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 50y |
11st 12lb |
With Gavin Cromwell when tailed off in his previous hurdle race in 2024; plenty of competitive Flat form since then for John McConnell but not overly appealing on this return to jumping action. |
20/1 |

7th 2 (10) |
10th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y |
10st 1lb |
Only 1-23, the win coming over 1m6f at Wolverhampton; did go off favourite here two weeks ago and a lack of pace after starting slowly wasn't ideal (behind Desert Friend); had previously hinted at a return to form. |
7/1 |
|
6th 3 (7) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 2m 0f 0y |
10st 1lb |
1-22 with his win coming comfortably over 1m6f at Wolverhampton off 59 in April last year; not much encouragement in outings at this track but a visor was reapplied (retained) at Wolverhampton last time and ran his best race for some time (although still a 3.25l fifth of seven); others preferred. |

17th Feb 2026 1m 5f 219y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Three of his five wins have come over C&D, including a division of this race last year when rated 5lb higher; not shone yet this winter and he arrives with a bit to prove. |
14/1 |
|
6th 4 (2) |
16th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Three-time course winner (1m6f) but he's been out of sorts in his last five runs and latest was at this track three weeks ago; has something to prove and his tactical speed will be tested back at this trip. |
20/1 |
|
11 (9) |
14th Sep 2025 Heavy 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 6lb |
Kept on well to score off this mark at Chepstow (2m, good to firm) in July and also has a soft-ground success on his record but both runs last month were below par and conditions are probably not ideal for him today. |

11st 4lb |
Dual Flat winner (AW) for previous yard but well held in two runs for current one, on the Flat and on hurdling debut. |
66/1 |

29th Sep 2025 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Fair Flat racer who won twice on AW for Archie Watson this spring (1m6f/1m4f); should be fine stamina-wise over hurdles but probably best watched today; refitted cheekpieces replace blinkers. |
25/1 |
|
4th 6 (3) |
3rd Sep 2025 Standard 1m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Wins at Wolverhampton in April (1m6f) and June (1m4f); dropped right away in a Class 3 at Wolverhampton five weeks ago but this company should be more manageable; well beaten in two previous Lingfield visits. |

28th Apr 2026 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Dual C&D winner in November 2024, but finished miles behind Charlie Darling on his return from 11 months off back here 26 days ago; the market should indicate whether a much better effort is anticipated. |
9/2 |
|
7th 5 (4) |
2nd Apr 2026 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Two from two over C&D, namely wins in November 2024 during a good spell on AW; eventually lost his form and has been absent since last May but looks interesting back here. |
12/1 |

5th 1 (5) |

1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Still 4lb higher than when winning over C&D (good to firm) last month, but has run well off this mark and higher in her two outings since; has finished first and second in his two starts under Myla Coppins; stable also runs Dogged; major player. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 1 (5) |
25th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 179y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
In fine form since returned to turf this spring, winning two races at about 1m3f (firm and good to firm); had a 7lb higher mark to contend with when outpointed back at Bath since but the winner wasn't badly treated on past Flat form and autumn hurdle wins; now 3lb lower; major player. |
2/1 |
|
2nd 1 (4) |
13th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 137y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Brings good stats, being 2-2 since returned to turf from AW and 2-3 at Bath; justified favouritism at Windsor last week when avoiding a penalty for his C&D success under Myla Coppins; has to deal with revised mark and a 4lb penalty but still respected. |

6th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Won on the Flat in May but was safely held on both hurdling starts this year (both in 2m handicaps in July) and reverts to this code after a very poor Flat run last month; stablemate Chillhi looks a safer option. |
6/1 |
|
6 (2) |
9th Aug 2025 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Had a good run of form in 1m2f-1m5f handicaps (1423) before tailed off in his last two hurdle races and he's a dual winner in that scene; some wellbeing concerns all of a sudden. |
8/1 |
|
7th 1 |
24th Jul 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Won twice over hurdles in the autumn (2m4f/2m7f) and has been in good form on the Flat in recent weeks but was well beaten when back over hurdles on Saturday (2m; raced too freely) and has a point to prove here. |
16/1 |
