13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Seems best when fresh and duly ran well (close second) at Bath on seasonal debut; appeared to be a disappointing favourite at Epsom later in April but that effort is excusable with the race likely coming sooner than ideal; only attempt under Tom Marquand resulted in sole win (off current mark to boot); respected on return from 11-week break. |

28th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 113y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Returned from seven months off to win this race from off the pace last year; couldn't build on that in four subsequent starts last season but was back down to that winning mark when slightly unlucky second at Bath (1m, also good) on his resumption three weeks ago; of firm interest. |
9/4 |

5th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Returned from seven months off to win from off the pace at Epsom (8.5f, good) last April; now bids to do much the same, after four lesser shows last season, and he's back to that last winning mark. |

27th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Veteran who dipped into a seller for his latest win, at Beverley (8.4f, good to firm) in July; current handicap mark is workable but his AW strike-rate is 0-13 and he needs to rebound from two down-the-field runs. |

20th Sep 2025 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 4 |

Has only won a novice when aged two; has threatened in handicaps from 7f to 1m3f but now has to get himself back on track after three lesser shows. |
20/1 |

12th 1 (4) |
11th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Sole win came in a 1m novice as a 2yo and although he's run some good races on downhill tracks this year, including over C&D (good; acts on soft), he isn't obviously ahead of his mark; should be thereabouts even so. |
11/2 |

3rd 1 (1) |
25th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |

Sole win was in a Haydock novice two years ago; plenty of good runs for new yard this season but he was disappointing at Windsor on Saturday and needs to bounce back on this quick turnaround. |

11th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 113y Class 5 |

Often leads; won this race (soft) off this mark last year but his form has dipped noticeably since two creditable thirds in June; last time's Racing League appearance can be forgiven, however, and he's not totally dismissed back here. |

All three wins on AW but below par at Kempton last time; fifth of ten at Epsom on sole turf outing last spring; bit to prove back on grass. |

8th 11 (14) |
20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Improver who has won three of his last seven starts including when back from a break at Lingfield (7f, Polytrack) last month; up 4lb for that narrow success but he still looks feasibly treated and his first two wins were at this track; respected. |

2nd Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Close third off lower AW mark at Kempton (1m) in May and fair effort when third at Salisbury (7f, good to firm) since; two of his last three wins have come over this C&D and he's respected now back here. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 2 (3) |
15th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 213y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Unraced here but a five-time turf winner over 7f at four different tracks; might well have won over 1m at Kempton (AW) last month had that race panned out more favourably; 7lb higher this time back on the grass but he can cope with this mark. |
6/1 |

21st May 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Was having just his second start over 1m+ when running only okay at his favourite venue Epsom 29 days ago and he's towards the foot of the list in trying to capitalise on a lower AW mark here; trainer won this race last year. |

5 (11) |
29th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 5 |

Has struggled on his last three starts but always a force to be reckoned with at this track having registered an eighth win here on his last visit in August (1m, good; ridden by Oliver Carmichael); only 2lb higher. |

17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 50y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
10yo who's the sole winner (seven times) in this, if not since autumn 2023, but last two outings at Bath have advertised the need to give him a longer run over 1m2f now; no ground or track issues, and he's among the likeliest. |
5/2 |
|
4th 2 (10) |
13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
No win since September 2023 but he is operating off a much-reduced mark now and he emerged from the pack to take a never-nearer third here eight days ago (1m2f, good); might need them to go too fast up front to win but he holds each-way claims all the same. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 4 (5) |
5th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
All seven wins have been on good ground or softer; latest was in 2023 and although he has plenty of form (this year even) to give him a chance, having a second stab at 1m2f on latest outing didn't go well enough. |

Prominent racer; made all in a small field at Brighton in April when rated 3lb higher; patchy since and has stamina to prove. |

24th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Prominent racer; the pick of his form in the first half of the year brings him right into the reckoning but more recent efforts haven't quite been at that level; dropping into a Class 6 will help. |
7/1 |

31st Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 216y Class 5 |

22nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Small-field 6f affair not ideal last time and this is a bit easier back in the visor for the first time this season; last summer's easy Epsom win off 4lb lower (made all) showed he's at home round switchback tracks and he's one to consider. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 4 (2) |
30th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Has done his winning, and a lot of his racing, over 7f; didn't get the breaks back down to 6f last time following a fair AW comeback, and he's capable of going well off this mark. |
6/1 |
|
11th 10 (17) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Back to his best with a front-running 7f win at Epsom last August; creditable fourth to Arantes Nascimento on his return to action last month; not much room for manoeuvre off this mark and he is yet to win at 6f. |
