26th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
10yo whose last three wins came in this race (2022, 2023 and 2025) and it's now named after him; did it in good style from the back last year (good to firm) and is now 3lb higher; made a satisfactory return to action at Yarmouth last month and the chief concern today is probably whether there will be enough pace in the race for his stamina to kick in sufficiently. |

20th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 6f 17y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
Shed his maiden tag in the corresponding race in 2021 (good to soft) and he has added a further four wins, the last three in consecutive renewals of a 2m handicap at Newmarket; chased home a stablemate in this race last year after a six-month absence; back from eight months off today and perhaps vulnerable to younger legs. |
10/1 |

18th Sep 2025 Good 2m 1f 27y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Course winner (extended 2m5f) who was third in this last year; form figures this term read 2123, the win coming at Newmarket (2m, good to firm) in June; solid. |

30th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Been around a bit and has regressed sharply for this yard, mainly over hurdles; Sapphire Sirocco looks the more likkely of the stable pair. |

23rd Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Out of form over a range of trips for new stable this spring (five runs; including one on the Flat); drops back to 2m after 42l defeat over 2m7f in refitted cheekpieces (retained) ten days ago; revival needed. |

11th May 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Three wins, two seconds and two thirds to his name from nine runs over C&D; will need a career-best off this mark, though, and there's nothing to suggest he's best caught fresh (off since January). |
14/1 |

6th 3 (2) |
27th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
His three AW wins have all been here, the latest over C&D over Christmas off 3lb lower; could bounce back from a lesser show at Southwell. |

26th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
No significant impact after three Flat maidens (1m2f-1m4f for William Haggas) and four races over hurdles; now makes Flat handicap debut. |
10/1 |

14th Jun 2025 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Showed only minor promise in three 2m maiden/novice hurdles this year and is not obviously well treated for this handicap debut but the new trip may unlock improvement. |
10/1 |

20th May 2025 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Showed some ability on the Flat for William Haggas last year and on her two hurdling starts for Alan King in February/March; only fourth best on merit when modest third at Kempton (2m, good) on latter occasion but this race is easier and she's on the shortlist; hooded for first time. |

26th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Dual 2m AW winner who took a good-ground selling hurdle in April; slow-starting second under 7lb claimer at Bath (2m1f, good to firm) 12 days ago confirms that she is firmly in the mix. |
9/2 |

2nd 5 (6) |
14th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 2m 1f 24y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Dual AW winner who took a selling hurdle at Exeter (2m2f) in April; placed behind Cherry Cola on only other visit to this track (1m6f) and some encouragement is drawn from her latest Salisbury effort (staying-on fifth); step up in trip in her favour; a possible. |

9th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 1f 24y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Beaten favourite on the AW last time when seeking a fifth win on those surfaces; 0-5 on turf and probably best to look elsewhere. |

22nd Sep 2025 Standard 2m 0f 120y Class 6 |

C&D win in June off 1lb lower; respectable efforts on his last two starts but no banker to confirm latest Chelmsford placings with Inlet. |

18th Sep 2025 Good 2m 1f 27y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Very lightly raced 4yo who was just 7-2 at Newmarket (2m) last month, when his rider lost his irons leaving the stalls and he was pulled up about 6f out; made favourite in first-time blinkers at Southwell (1m6f, AW) last time but the start proved troublesome again, very slowly away only to finish fourth of eleven; a clean break would put him right in the picture but that's by no means certain. |
4/1 |

4th 2 (2) |
28th Jul 2025 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Very lightly raced 4yo who was just 7-2 at Newmarket (2m) last month, when his rider lost his irons leaving the stalls and he was pulled up about 6f out; arrives with something to prove but wears first-time blinkers and it will be interesting to see if he's again towards the head of the betting. |
