6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 3y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Won by 4l last Saturday to complete a Lingfield turf double; raised a whopping 12lb but is still well treated on best form, which includes close second (off 4lb higher) in this contest in 2025; fighting chance. |

1st 1 (6) |
30th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Ex-Irish 7yo who had a much higher mark this time last year; well backed all day and on course when winning over C&D 12 days ago, and there's every chance he can defy a 3lb rise under Ashley Lewis, who has plenty of experience for his 3lb claim in this company. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Exploited his reduced mark in fine style at Doncaster (5f, good to firm) last month; came up short off an 11lb higher mark in Ireland 13 days ago, hanging left; minor placing perhaps his best hope this time. |
12/1 |
|
6th 2 (8) |
28th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y |
10st 0lb |
Made all for an emphatic 5f Doncaster win early this month, his first success since August 2024; up 11lb for that; however, he had a higher mark early in his career when trained by Brian Meehan; definite chance, given the depth of the sprinting division in Britain, relative to Ireland. |
9/2 |
|
1st 6 (6) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
His last win was in August 2024 but he went close off a reduced mark in a 16-runner handicap at York (5f, good) last month; back up 2lb in the weights but that was a bold bid last time and he's respected. |

25th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 5f 3y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Never a threat after a slow start in the corresponding race 12 months ago; as good as ever when winning at Sandown and Ascot (came from well back) in August/September and two subsequent defeats excusable (ground/Listed race); 3-8 on soft or worse but might be better suited by a stiffer finish. |
16/1 |
|
8th 12 (5) |
4th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
8st 12lb |
At least as good as ever this year, winning handicaps at Sandown (5f, soft) and over C&D (good to soft) in September; found things happening too quickly at Haydock last Saturday and she's in deeper today, but she does go really well at Ascot and the more rain that falls the better. |
16/1 |

27th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Likeable mare with eight wins to her name, including at Sandown (5f, soft) and Ascot (5f, good to soft) in the last four weeks; impossible to rule out but she's gone up 13lb in total for those successes and she'll need a career best to complete the hat-trick. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |
10st 0lb |
He's just 1-25 on turf but was runner-up over C&D (good to firm) last month and wasn't beaten far in a competitive Class 2 at favourite course Newcastle (5f, AW) last Friday; could be in the mix. |
7/2 |
|
7th 14 (9) |
26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Won this race 12 months ago off a 1lb higher mark and recorded his seventh C&D win when scoring in December; solid second on turf three weeks ago; should run his race. |
10/1 |
|
2nd 4 (8) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Won six 5f handicaps on AW at Newcastle in 2025; now back on last winning mark but he's 1-24 on turf and that success was in a novice over four years ago; looks opposable back in this sphere after a short break. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Had a rare off day in the Dash at Epsom but quickly back on track with a close third at Windsor (5f good to firm) 18 days ago; unlikely to be far away off the same mark. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 8 (1) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Poor effort at Epsom, behind two of these, last time will need forgiving but he boasts a fair record for Billy Loughnane (won for him last summer off 6lb higher); handicapper given him a chance and it wouldn't be a shock were he to pop up. |
6/1 |
|
19th 18 (8) |
6th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Admirable campaigner who is gradually edging down the weights; type to pop up soon but perhaps in a slightly less competitive affair. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
The winner of 14 of his 48 starts, including two 5f handicaps this season; dropped away when seventh to King Of Light over 6f at Windsor 12 days ago; others look better handicapped. |
16/1 |
|
7th 5 (7) |
29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Course specialist; in prime form, having won at Bath before suffering a luckless run on this track, then a convincing winner here (also 5f, good to soft; acts well on good to firm) since; that trip seems to suit best though and he has more to prove off 6lb higher in a better race. |
100/30 |
|
1st 4 (3) |
8th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 21y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Useful strike-rate and 4-6 over 5f for Oisin Murphy; can lead; versatile regarding tracks but he won his first two C&D starts (including this race when 3lb higher) and gave the principals too much rope back here in May, albeit he still found only an improved one too good; best form on good or quicker ground and rarely asked to tackle slower surfaces. |

6th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Come to hand early in previous seasons but hasn't offered much in two runs back this time; now 11lb lower than when winning at Chelmsford last summer, which shows how things have gone since; needs a major revival. |
12/1 |
|
5th 3 (2) |
3rd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Most of his success has come on AW but he showed at Nottingham last spring that he could get the job done on turf (5f, good); looked as though his recent seasonal return would bring him on and his lacklustre end to 2025 has seen him drop to a dangerous mark. |
11/2 |
|
4th 6 (6) |
17th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Not seen in six months, but finished first and second in two starts over C&D as a 3yo, on each occasion when returning from an absence; 6lb below last winning mark; worth a second look. |

18th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Faded in the closing stages over 6f at Newmarket last time but 5f is more her trip and her latest attempt over the minimum distance resulted in a creditable third at Lingfield (AW) at the beginning of September; has dropped to only 1lb above the mark she defied on turf at Lingfield in August. |
16/1 |
|
6th 4 (3) |
25th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Has placed form over the trip but she's 0-9 over 6f+ as opposed to 3-16 at 5f; didn't run badly on AW three weeks ago but perhaps vulnerable to stronger stayers this time. |
12/1 |
|
1 (8) |
4th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Turf win here last month (5f, good); not so good at York a fortnight ago but that was a warm race; promise in each of her three AW starts thus far; not ideally drawn though and others perhaps stronger for win purposes. |

11th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 42y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Finally ended a 49-race losing run at Southwell (5f, AW) in January; now 2lb lower than for that success and this company is much easier than that he normally keeps, but his record of 1-47 on turf still makes him hard to warm to. |
6/1 |
|
5th 13 (9) |
13th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 42y Class 3 |
8st 10lb |
Ended a lengthy losing run at Southwell in January and posted a respectable effort at Newmarket (5f, good) last month; however, he was down the field at Ascot (5f, good to firm) 12 days ago and is now just 1-46 on turf; others preferred. |
20/1 |
|
14th 15 (16) |
1st May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Ended a lengthy losing run at Southwell in January and he is just 1lb higher today; solid effort at Newmarket 17 days ago when not ideally positioned; each-way claims at a track where he has run well in much better races than this one. |
