15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 12y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Justified short-priced favouritism in the corresponding event 12 months ago off a 3lb lower mark; absent until returning at Kempton in March, a race where he was well supported but weakened in the final furlong; still has low mileage. |
6/1 |
|
5th 4 (2) |
28th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Lightly-raced 5yo who has won three of his six starts; readily justified short-priced favouritism at Windsor (6f, good to firm) when last seen in June and it is unlikely this mark is beyond him; takes on match-fit rivals here though and may come on for the run. |

27th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Has gained his wins over 6f on turf and 7f on AW; inconsistent since last success and has something to prove over this trip in this sphere; change of headgear. |
33/1 |

9th 1 (12) |
5th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
C&D winner who hasn't run over this trip since February; below best on last two outings and plenty to prove from widest draw back on AW. |
12/1 |
|
12th 4 (3) |
11th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Regained the winning thread at Newbury in April; inconsistent results over C&D since; each-way possibilities on penultimate effort (good second) but isn't guaranteed to reproduce it. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
His last win was in December 2024 but he's finished runner-up over C&D (good to firm) in his last two starts including behind Lequinto on his penultimate run; didn't get much luck when returned to hold-up tactics last Monday and he looks interesting with Oisin Murphy booked again. |
15/8 |
|
2nd 9 (8) |
13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Losing turf run goes back over two years but his last three wins on grass have come over C&D, including on good to firm, and he ran another good race on this track two weeks ago; has better claims than many. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 2 (10) |
29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
His last success was in December 2024 but he's on a dangerous mark and wasn't beaten far in a Class 3 over C&D (good to firm) two weeks ago; has possibilities on this big drop back in grade and three of his eight wins have come at this track; visor is removed and cheekpieces return. |

2nd 3 (2) |
11th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 42y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Losing run up to 15, but has been running well in defeat as when beaten less than a length into third of ten at Windsor (5f, good) last month; races off the same mark, but he is another for whom this trip looks sharp enough. |
100/30 |
|
3rd 7 (8) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
His last win was off 15lb higher but that was on AW in April 2024 and he has mixed record in four runs this year; ran well at Kempton (6f) in March but he was remote when third at Leicester last time and needs to bounce back again after that disappointing effort. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 2 (5) |
13th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Losing turf run goes back four years and he wasn't particularly convincing on grass in the middle months of 2025; however, he is 11lb lower than the latest attempt and his recent AW run at Kempton was quite encouraging; revival on the cards with Rossa Ryan up for the first time. |

2nd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Went close off this mark over C&D in November; good run at Kempton on his penultimate start and he will find this more manageable than the hot Kempton handicap he contested on Friday; respected. |
6/1 |
|
9th 8 (5) |
28th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
8st 10lb |
Two-time C&D winner; has been competitive off this sort of mark in recent months, beaten two noses into third over C&D 24 days ago (blinkered first time); up in class but likely to give it another good go. |

5th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Tapeta winner who has dropped down the weights and is one to watch in the betting on his third start for this yard; however, he's been soundly beaten on both runs this season and his losing sequence is up to 14. |
9/1 |
|
9th 7 (8) |
9th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 216y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Both wins on the AW (6f/7f); has run well on turf but looks best over shorter and finished in midfield on stable debut at Kempton (1m, AW) 13 days ago following a ten-month absence; best watched unless attracting support. |
7/1 |
|
7th 3 (9) |
27th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Dual winner for Hugo Palmer (6f/7f); third the best he managed for Robert Eddery; failed to see out 1m in two previous attempts so looks best watched on debut for John Butler, who runs two others, back from 292 days off. |
20/1 |
