17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Placed on four of his five starts in 2026, although wasn't at his best when beaten over 9l into third in amateur rider race at Ascot (1m, good) 13 days ago; acts on soft. |

3rd 5 (4) |
4th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Perhaps ill at ease on the track when a disappointing favourite at Epsom in July; reliable in the main, winning twice last summer (7f, AW; 1m, good to firm) and runner-up on two occasions back in the spring (AW); considered. |

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. |

2nd 2 (4) |
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. |
7/2 |

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 |
8st 13lb |
0-6; form since handicapping includes two encouraging efforts at Kempton (7f); this return to 1m is worth exploring; interesting. |
4/1 |

8 (8) |
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 |
9st 2lb |
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. |

2nd Oct 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Dual course winner; led on the line when upped to 1m4f at Lingfield (AW) and he backed that up with a good third over C&D 11 days ago; remains well handicapped on his best form and is a big player if this sets up for his closing style. |
9/4 |
|
3rd 6 (9) |
21st Sep 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Overall record of 3-31, but his first two wins were at Wolverhampton and latest was at Lingfield (1m4f, AW) 11 days ago; that was in a tight three-way finish but he's only 1lb higher here and is unexposed at this trip; dangerous. |
15/2 |

1st 4 (4) |
10th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Dual winner at Wolverhampton (7f/9.5f), the latest in March; made some late gains to be beaten 2l in seventh here over 1m2f last month but he isn't guaranteed to be suited by this step up to 1m4f. |

Well positioned when opening her account for new connections at Lingfield 18 days ago, seemingly appreciating being back over 1m/on AW; not ruled out off 3lb higher. |

1st 6 (4) |
12th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
A two-time AW winner (around 1m) in 2025; best of three runs for her new yard when fourth of six in 1m1f handicap on turf here last month; needs to build on it now. |

4th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y Class 6 |

Dual Tapeta winner who didn't handle Brighton last time (has run well on the AW here before though); become very hit and miss in recent times and has it to prove now. |

15th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
13th-time lucky when winning an 8.6f classified event at Wolverhampton in July; ran well for second under a penalty at Lingfield (1m) six days later; midfield finish off this mark at Wolverhampton (7f) last month; has shown promise on turf and Tom Marquand has a good record for the yard. |

5th 6 (5) |
1st Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Won 8.6f classified here in July and was second in that grade under a penalty at Lingfield (1m) a few days later; evidently in good nick but has a bit more on his plate in this handicap and is not sure to be suited by the drop back in trip. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 1 (2) |
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. |

25th Jun 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
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. |
