16th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 5 |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |
33/1 |

11th 5 (14) |
2nd Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 75y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Has won three of his last five starts, including a dominant display from the front at Sandown (1m, good) in August; this is much tougher off 8lb higher but he was as good as ever last time and his turf record is now 3-7; shortlisted. |

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. |

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 |

12th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 4 |

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). |
12/1 |

Goodwood regular this term, winning twice over 1m1f; runner-up over 1m2f on heavy most recently; running well and must have a solid chance; has form here. |

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. |

30th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Frequent slow starter who was the biggest price of his trainer's three runners when winning easily at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) last Saturday, without the usual tongue-tie/cheekpieces, as today; had looked on the downgrade on the AW but happier on turf; leading claims back up 6lb. |
4/5 |
|
1st 13 (1) |
23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Five turf wins were all secured in a tongue-tie, with additional cheekpeices on last three occasions; has never won on AW and after latest campaign on that surface he now returns to grass with good handicapping case to be made; no headgear looks a negative, though. |
12/1 |
|
6th 8 (3) |
2nd Feb 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
10st 7lb |
Eyecatching second at Lingfield (1m2f, Polytrack) on his penultimate run, but he's a frequent slow starter who was always in rear at Lingfield last Saturday; needs to bounce back again after that and he's now 0-18 on AW. |

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 |

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. |
5/1 |

4th 7 (5) |
7th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |

Successful five times (1m-1m2f) on AW since December and ran well at Southwell (1m3f) last week; likely player, provided the form is transferred back to turf; 1-14 in this sphere. |

25th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |

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. |
7/2 |

3rd 8 (1) |
17th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |

Five-time winner who has finished placed in his last three runs including a close call in a classified event at Lingfield (1m, AW) on Monday; should give it another good shot back on Tapeta and he's respected. |
