12th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 3f 197y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Seen a good deal more often on AW but won the latest of her four turf races, over 11.6f on good ground at Lingfield in June, and that was up with her best form; close second on good to soft last year; looks vulnerable off this mark but 5lb claimer Jack Callan is enlisted. |

28th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Acts well on Tapeta, winning at Wolverhampton (1m4f) in November and ran to a similar level over that trip here before Christmas; has had some good results since but C&D run in July wasn't one of them; must revive. |

13th Jul 2025 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Has clocked up a very solid record in handicaps, with last month's win in a small field on turf but seen mostly on AW, including here; unlikely to be far away. |

17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
10st 0lb |
He's had a long career but never been better than this season, winning at Wolverhampton (9.4f) and Lingfield (1m4f) with a close third in between; they were all on AW in March/April under Olivia Tubb and he's not raced since, with turf runs in the last two years hinting that he's not quite so good in this sphere; also, the last time he raced on firmer than good was 2022. |

27th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Kickstarted 2026 with success at Wolverhampton (9.5f) in March and backed it up with a good third of 12 in another 9.5f handicap there since; this C&D scorer can go well again off the same mark. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 4 (12) |
20th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
His first seven wins were all gained over 1m4f/1m3f, with the latest of those last October, but he then made all under Olivia Tubb in a six-runner race over C&D 13 days ago; that win was by a neck and he's been raised 2lb since, but a wide draw complicates today's task. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Easy win at Beverley (1m2f, good to firm) in May before solid third of 16 over this C&D (good), and he improved again to win at Newmarket (1m4f, good to firm) last Saturday; today's assignment is tougher still but this thriving 5yo could be in the each-way mix under a 5lb penalty. |
25/1 |

1st 12 (5) |
4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Won last March/April on first two starts for yard; took just one of 16 races since but that was penultimate start (Beverley 1m2f, good to firm) and last month's third of 16 off this mark in a Class 2 at York (1m2f) was as good as he's ever been; stays 1m4f; not the percentage call but not impossible. |
20/1 |

3rd 12 (13) |
12th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Ex-Irish gelding who won his first two starts for this yard; took four runs to get going this term but he was strong in the betting when cashing in on a reduced mark at Beverley (1m2f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; handicapper has wasted no time putting him back to this career-high mark, though. |

27th Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 196y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Much respected on his form for Alan King, for all that he was 1-22 for that yard; following a 30,000gns sale he ran okay over C&D on last month's stable debut, but no more than that. |
10/1 |

30th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 196y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Sole win (22 races) was on AW in June 2024; five seconds on turf and bang there on AW (1m3f/1m4f) on last two starts before 30,000gns sale (left Alan King) in April, but this is the first time he's gone beyond that on Flat. |

6th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Sole win in 1m2f Lingfield AW handicap nearly two years ago; has been running well since back on AW of late but it's pushing it to call him well handicapped in this competitive race. |

12th Jun 2026 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Mainly seen on the AW these days, but he did win three times on turf as a 3yo; interesting to see how he fares in the market on debut for Tony Carroll (same owner). |
10/1 |

6th 5 (5) |
2nd May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Recorded his tenth win when scoring at Wolverhampton (2m, Tapeta) in January; held his form with creditable efforts in next three starts but his good spell came to a halt at Lingfield last month; has bit to prove again after that heavy defeat and his last turf win was in 2022. |
10/1 |
|
13th 10 (11) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Three course wins have come over 1m4f, but he has won over this sort of trip elsewhere; finished half a length behind St Faz when third of four at Southwell (1m6f, Tapeta) and now 11lb better off; each-way claims. |
