2nd 5 (2) |
13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Prevailed narrowly at Newbury last time, taking record to 5-28 and confirming that he's well suited by fast ground; back up 3lb but remains well handicapped on peak form and is a dual C&D winner; good third in this race last year; one of the main players. |

2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Four-time winner who is 3lb beneath his last winning mark; however, he hasn't offered all that much in three runs following a break and wind surgery. |

1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |

1lb lower than for his last win; two runs back from wind surgery haven't been his best and he is taking on some potential improvers today. |

3rd Oct 2025 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Eight-race maiden; reached the frame in three maiden/novice events but he's been well held in three handicaps including in two runs for current yard; mark continues to fall but he weakened when upped to 2m at Kempton last time and others are preferred. |
14/1 |

6th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Seven-race maiden who made no impression over 1m6f most recently; chance of winning depends on how well he reacts to first-time headgear and going up further in distance. |
12/1 |

4th 2 (4) |
5th Aug 2025 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who has shown considerable promise; no threat on either start this season, most recently his handicap debut at Goodwood (1m4f) on final run for Raphael Freire; remains in same ownership; needs something extra now up in trip (not bred for it) but not written off. |

6th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Record of 3-6 on AW includes a couple of middle-distance wins at Kempton; returns here off a handy mark but has stamina to prove over this new trip; 0-5 for current yard. |
12/1 |

4th 2 (6) |
7th Aug 2025 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Beaten only half a length when fourth of six at Goodwood (1m4f, good to soft) in June; however, beaten 4l when fifth back there (1m4f, good to firm) last time; slow ground may be preferable. |

1st Nov 2025 Good 2m 3f 63y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
Unseated rider mid-race when well backed for Fontwell handicap six weeks ago and now 0-7 over hurdles; not one to give up on just yet but moves up in grade today and others in this line-up may have more potential. |

22nd Sep 2025 Good To Soft 2m 1f 162y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
0-6 over hurdles but was a beaten favourite on his last three starts in March/April; below form on the Flat in three runs since but not one to give up on just yet; goes without headgear worn on last hurdles start and last two Flat runs. |

22nd May 2026 Soft 1m 3f 218y Class 3 |
10st 4lb |
Five-time winner, including over C&D; absent since creditable second in last year's November Handicap at Doncaster on debut for new yard; hit with another rise in the weights but drops back in class and may remain competitive. |
12/1 |

5th 4 (9) |
9th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Two wins for new stable since the spring, the latter when fending off Azahara Palace here (11.6f heavy) last month; very versatile regarding ground but faces tough task on first attempt at 1m6f. |
33/1 |

1st 1 (1) |
3rd Sep 2025 Good 1m 3f 137y Class 4 |

Won this race last year and at Goodwood this June; with a creditable run last time and no ground worries, there's lots to suggest she will be in serious contention. |

9st 4lb |
0-13 since winning from 17lb higher here (1m2f, good to firm) in April 2022; makes his debut for another new yard (same owner) after 399 days off having undergone a second wind operation in the meantime; tongue-tie returns; market informative. |

11th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 5 |

Registered his last win off 1lb higher at Windsor a year ago; consistent since, mostly making the frame; successful in two of his last three attempts in Class 5; solid claims back down in grade. |
9/2 |

3rd 4 (7) |
14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 5y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Four-time winner who seems fine on any ground and wouldn't be far away with a repeat of his second at Nottingham (1m6f, good), though he didn't appear to run to the same level here a month ago. |
6/1 |

6th 8 |
14th May 2026 Good 1m 6f 44y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
Four-time winner who last scored over 1m2f at Windsor (good to firm) off just 1lb lower in July; runner-up over C&D in October, however, and confirmed this trip holds no fears when second again at Nottingham (also good) 18 days ago; player. |

27th Jun 2026 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Has won five on the Flat at up to 1m6f; off the mark for this Flat season when winning at Salisbury by 4.5l 13 days ago; up 6lb but a contender. |
6/1 |
|
1st 7 (2) |
14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 5y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Has won twice over hurdles this year and only went down by a head on his return to Flat action last week at Bath (1m6f, good); effective over this shorter trip and looks a good bet to give his running, which can't be said for all of these. |

11st 13lb |
Won slow-ground hurdle in France in February but unraced over jumps since pulled up in Listed handicap later that month and, barring one close second in a low-grade handicap, this year's Flat form is rather uninspiring. |
