16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Reliable sort (on turf and AW) who won twice last summer and was runner-up in March/April on his last two outings; stable has struck often enough this summer for him to be given a close look despite this new track. |

All seven starts on the AW have been here, with his record in handicaps reading 11332; drawn a bit wider than ideal and another furlong may suit ideally, but still high on the list in this field. |

25th Jun 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Left 2yo novice/maiden form behind, having been gelded and possibly aided by the fitting of a visor, when striking at Wolverhampton this month (6f handicap); penalised when only third at Yarmouth next time (the horse he beat at Wolverhampton turned the tables by finishing second again); is 2lb lower off his revised mark here; player with return to 7f likely okay. |

3rd 1 (6) |
12th Jun 2025 Good 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
10st 1lb |
Built on some minor promise in his qualifying runs, with a win on his handicap debut at Wolverhampton (6f, AW; first-time visor) last week; has penalty back on turf but if he can match that latest effort, he'd still have a chance of a successful follow-up. |

3rd Jun 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Well held in three starts over 6f/7f on turf last year, since when he has been gelded; makes his handicap/AW debut in a first-time visor after 259 days off, but has been found a weak race; market may prove informative. |

1st Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Best efforts have come here and she appreciated the step back up from 7f, minus the usual tongue-tie, when winning over C&D a fortnight ago; that was only a 0-55 and she's 4lb higher today but she's lightly raced and may be capable of better. |

18th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

0-6; form since handicapping includes two encouraging efforts at Kempton (7f); this return to 1m is worth exploring; interesting. |

3rd Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Best effort when third in lower grade over C&D on penultimate start (handicap debut); chance of winning largely depends on how well she responds to added cheekpieces. |

0-23 and after going close in a Lingfield classified in February he's been way off that in three subsequent starts, including when tailed off last time. |

29th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |

Frustrating type (0-22 overall; 0-15 for Tony Carroll) and the fitting of a hood (retained here) saw no upturn at Kempton five weeks ago. |

8th 7 (5) |
25th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
21-race maiden; returned to form with a close second in classified event at Lingfield (1m) last month but he failed to back that up at Wolverhampton two weeks ago; hood is now added and he needs to bounce back again after that last run. |

16th Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Course regular who's proved very consistent since the hood went back on; usually held up and wants a good test over this trip but he is more likely than most at this level to give his running, dropping back down from 0-60 company; each-way claims. |
8/1 |

7th 10 (5) |
2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |

Record here this year reads 34513323 including a short-head defeat by Roman Secret over this trip in April; likely to go well and there shouldn't be much between them again. |

3rd 10 (4) |
11th May 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Running consistently round here all year at the bottom level; no obvious reason he won't get involved again but this is a touch stronger having been nudged up another 2lb. |

21st Jun 2026 Good 1m 3f 198y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Signed off for Ed Dunlop with respectable fifth of 15 at Nottingham (8.3f, good; visored) in April but was always behind on recent stable debut (1m, AW; no headgear) and it's hard to know what to expect from her over this new trip; blinkers refitted. |

9th 10 (2) |
1st Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Hold-up filly whose win for Ed Dunlop, from whom she was picked up in April for 7,500gns, came on Tapeta; become hard to predict and there's no sign of the usual headgear back from a short break. |
12/1 |

5th 14 (9) |
8th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Hold-up filly who went close at Wolverhampton (8.6f) on her penultimate run but she didn't fire there last time; still lightly raced on turf but she's not easy to predict and needs to bounce back again after that last run; switch of headgear. |

13th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Went close at Wolverhampton (8.6f) and Chepstow (1m) before getting off the mark (13th attempt) in a classified event at Wolverhampton last Tuesday; pulled 5l clear with his main market rival in that race and he hit a personal best with that brave success; key player. |

1st 4 (3) |
7th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |

0-12 but he hit the frame twice in similar races over C&D in March; better form when beaten a neck into second at Chepstow (1m, soft) last month; set to go well once again. |

9st 8lb |
Sent off 4-1 and 9-2 for his two handicaps but couldn't match the pick of his novice/maiden form (stepping up to 7f was no real help last time); perhaps first-time headgear will focus him. |

5th 6 (5) |
6th May 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

Showed ability here over 5f in February on his second start and ran to a similar level when finishing third of nine over 6f at Newcastle on handicap debut; should be suited by this step up to 7f, in line with his pedigree, and holds solid claims. |
