29th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has won on ground ranging from firm to good to soft; won two in a row at Bath (1m) in May/June and he went close at Ffos Las (7.3f) and Chepstow (1m) in his next two runs; still looks on a workable mark and he has a good record at this track. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 14y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Picked up a couple of Class 6 events at Bath this summer and he wasn't beaten far in his hat-trick bid at Ffos Las (7.3f, good) 16 days ago; another 2lb higher today but this C&D winner should give it another good go. |

6th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Goes well here; all four AW wins have been over C&D; third over C&D last month but below his best at Bath since; looks sure to go close at his favoured track. |
14/1 |

8th 6 (10) |
13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
His last four wins have come on AW at Wolverhampton; six C&D runs have yielded formfigures of 243234; third at Wolverhampton 12 days ago (for today's rider) and he should be in the thick of the action once again. |
4/1 |

3rd 10 (2) |
1st Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Three-time C&D winner, latterly off 4lb higher in February; fine on Polytrack but the return here is an obvious plus off a career-low mark and he's another with claims in an open handicap. |

11th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |

Infrequent winner but well treated on this year's best efforts; well beaten at 40-1 on his return from a summer break two weeks ago and needs to leave that well behind. |

Never gave his running at Bath in June and off since; went close there the time before (1m) off only 1lb lower and effective on AW surfaces. |

Ran her first disappointing race for this yard when last of six at Brighton last month, a race where conditions should have been fine; overall profile suggests she'll bounce back quickly. |

24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Made a successful handicap debut in a 0-60 contest at Bath (1m, firm) for Joe Ponting in May last year, but not built on it and her two efforts since returning this May have been poor; needs the change of stable and drop in class to make a big difference; yard also runs Judge Frank. |
25/1 |

13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Won a C&D handicap (firm) last May; mixed bag since then and she was a remote 14th of the 15 runners at Windsor three weeks ago; now tried in a tongue-tie. |
10/1 |

14th 11 (14) |
23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Made a winning turf/handicap debut at Bath (1m) last May and posted a creditable second upped to 1m2f at that track (also firm) nine days later; didn't match that form subsequently but last year was this 5yo's first season racing so chance she might have a shade more to offer this term. |

16th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Dual 6f AW winner for Tony Carroll in early part of this year, but not quite at same level for current stable in recent months; drops back to a more suitable trip after recent 1m defeat but still makes only limited appeal. |
20/1 |

6th 8 (5) |
23rd May 2025 Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

His three wins have come on AW and he has been unplaced in all nine turf runs; on a basement mark but there are risks attached. |

34-race maiden who has flattered to deceive on occasions; returning to 1m (attempted once in 2023) not the obvious answer. |

14th May 2025 Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Has shown enough to think she could win races, but she's currently 0-33 and she didn't really threaten behind Banana here on her reappearance nine days ago (5f, firm); the extra distance should help, as may a change of headgear, but others appeal more for win purposes. |

9th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Closely matched with A Rose Adaay on their recent clash in a classified race; probably needs more back in a handicap and he's hard to win with (2-33). |
14/1 |

4th 10 (2) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
0-17 since winning twice over 1m in the summer of 2024, but he has run well in his last two visits in handicaps here (7f); each-way claims down in grade. |
6/1 |
|
4th 13 (6) |
16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
He ran his best race for some time when second of five in a handicap over C&D (good to firm) last week; fair fourth at Bath on Wednesday but others appeal more for win purposes. |
