16th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Eight C&D wins, the most recent off current mark in August; not in the same form since and was behind a few of today's rivals last time. |

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. |

27th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 4 |

Left Charlie Johnston for 1,000gns; 150-1 on hurdle debut at Perth and performed accordingly. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Fairly useful four-time AW Flat winner for Charlie Johnston but 0-17 on turf for that yard; ran poorly at Lingfield (AW) 16 days ago and changed hands for 1,000gns since; best watched on hurdles debut. |
33/1 |

Four AW wins, including C&D, and returns from a six-month break on a manageable mark; more good runs than bad at this track and he's not discounted. |

29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Won three over this trip last year, twice from the front on turf, latterly off a 3lb lower mark; well held in two runs back but this is less competitive under Billy Loughnane and he may well be able to get his own way in this smaller field; possibilities if so. |
6/1 |

8th 7 (3) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Won three 1m handicaps (AW/good) last year and was fourth in an earlier race on this card 12 months ago when the ground was good to soft; the clear negative is complete no-shows in his last three starts. |
13/2 |
|
11th 10 (6) |
9th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Won three 1m handicaps (AW/good) last season but he ended his 5yo campaign with heavy defeats over C&D and at Chelmsford; has bit to prove after six months off and he doesn't have a great record when fresh. |

28th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who ran well when third on the AW here (1m2f) in April; however, following wind surgery she was tailed off at Goodwood (1m2f, good to soft) three weeks ago and it's hard to be hopeful after that. |
12/1 |

6th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 1m 1f 11y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Confined to the AW since debut run at Yarmouth; 1m2f novice winner and mostly consistent; beaten under 3l at Lingfield last time and that was after three months off; had another break since, and wind surgery; softening ground a grey area. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 1 (3) |
10th Apr 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Record of 1-6 in her first season last year, the win in Newcastle novice event (1m2f); non-stayer over 1m4f on final outing; drop back in trip and booking of Rossa Ryan are positives. |

12th Jun 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 3 |
8st 12lb |
Made all up the favoured stands' rail over Lingfield's extended 7f a month ago but has only gone up 3lb and he's likeably consistent; this does look more competitive than usual, however. |
12/1 |
|
1st 8 (2) |
9th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 135y Class 3 |
8st 4lb |
The winner of three of his last six starts (1m, heavy and AW) and ran another solid race when close fourth of ten here (AW) in March; also acts on good ground but this is hotter than the races he usually contests. |
16/1 |
|
4th 9 (3) |
20th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 4 |

8th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Scored twice (over 1m1f) at Goodwood last summer; yet to hit top form this season though, a never-dangerous fifth of eight back at Goodwood (1m1f) last month; has slipped to a lenient mark though so needs considering in a headgear changed for in-form yard. |
8/1 |

5th 5 (1) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 11y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Needs a revival but fast ground wasn't ideal on his comeback run and seven career wins include this race 12 months ago off only 3lb lower; rarely looks straightforward but remains capable of winning races. |
7/2 |
|
11th 3 (3) |
11th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Seven-time winner from 1m-1m2f; not on a bad mark on the pick of last season's efforts, but he has been absent for 193 days and and an inexperienced amateur takes the ride (first Flat ride under rules). |

Very up and down in ten races for Richard Hughes but did win over Bath's 1m on soft ground in October (2lb lower); could go well back from a break with rain about. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
8yo who went 21 months without a win but has now scored at Windsor, Lingfield, Chepstow and Ripon in his four races this turf season; his second in this race last year was a remote one and the 6lb rise since his latest start asks a question, but conditions fine and he's on a major roll, ridden by Sarah Bowen on last two starts (two in four days); major player. |
3/1 |
|
1st 1 (4) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 10y Class 6 |
10st 13lb |
Completed the hat-trick at Chepstow (1m2f, good to soft) on Monday; carries a 4lb penalty for that and stays 1m4f fine, so likely to have a major role to play again under Sarah Bowen, if electing to stand his ground. |
5/2 |

1st 1 (10) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
11st 2lb |
Frequent slow starter who's enjoyed a revival since returned to turf, minus the tongue-tie and headgear; looked to have a bit more in hand than the final margin at Lingfield (1m2f, good to firm) off 3lb lower last time and holds obvious claims. |

17th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Six-time Flat winner; well beaten on hurdling debut in Ireland in 2024 but displayed clear promise when four twice in novice company in April (2m, good), and his opening handicap hurdle mark does not look daunting. |
3/1 |
|
4th 3 |
22nd Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Six-time Flat winner including five on AW (1m-1m2f) since December; unexposed over hurdles and was fair fourth of 13 back in this sphere at Hereford (2m, good; 12-1) last week; should have more to offer as a jumper but this looks a tough task against Un Sens A La Vie. |
14/1 |
|
4th 7 |
16th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 53y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Had one run over hurdles, finishing tailed off in a maiden in late 2024; multiple Flat winner since December and wasn't beaten far at Pontefract last week (1m; stays 1m4f); should run well if jumping stands the test. |

Hard-puller who ran below par in first-time cheekpieces (off tonight) last time; previously consistent at this sort of level but will need to settle better back up in trip after a six-week break. |
12/1 |

9th 11 (5) |
6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

4th 6 (1) |
25th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Dual course winner who has finished placed in his last four runs including when third in a classified event at Southwell (1m) in January; should be fine on this drop back in trip and he's respected back from a short break. |
