20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Eight of his 14 wins have come at Windsor and latest was a comfortable success over C&D (good to firm) three weeks ago; up 5lb but he still looks on a workable mark and has been in good form since April; big player. |
11/4 |

29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Seven of his 13 wins have come at Windsor and latest was over 5f (good) last month; finished well to snatch third at Bath (5.7f) and Sandown (5f) in his last two runs and he's strongly respected back up in trip. |
9/2 |

7th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Trailblazer who is not the force he once was, but was runner-up at Windsor (5f, good to firm) last month; should give his supporters a run for their money but vulnerable to a late closer. |
7/2 |
|
6th 8 (6) |
2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 34y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Twice a winner over C&D, including the corresponding event 12 months ago when rated 11lb higher; back to form when second at Windsor ten days ago, failing to hold the late thrust of Just Jump; his supporters should get a run for their money but he could just prove vulnerable late on. |
6/1 |

2nd 6 (6) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Returned to form when third off 5lb higher at Lingfield (5f, good to firm) in May; this 8yo has finished soundly beaten on both starts since but has been without cheekpieces, which return today and could be key. |

10th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 110y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Course win (5f, good) last July; arrives in top form, winning Class 5 events at Bath and Newbury (5f, firm and good to firm) this summer; 2lb rise shouldn't prevent another bold bid. |
5/1 |
|
1st 1 (2) |
1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 34y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Ran twice over C&D last summer and performed with great credit on both occasions, finishing second to Faustus in July and filling the same position one month later; career-best effort when winning at Bath last week (5f, firm); penalty demands more but he can't be discounted. |
7/2 |
|
1st 2 (5) |
26th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Four-time AW winner who broke his turf duck at Chester last July off a 2lb lower mark (5f, good); two respectable efforts here this spring and Finley Marsh replaces an apprentice today; a big run is on the cards. |

15th Jul 2026 Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
He'd been headed when badly hampered at Newbury recently (not recover) but was without his usual visor, in which he was running really well in defeat previously under Chloe Lyons at up to 5.2f; he should be fine at this trip; the visor returns and he could bounce back with a big run. |
11/2 |
|
8th 1 (8) |
2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 34y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Three good turf runs to his name this summer, all for today's apprentice Chloe Lyons and including C&D; no obvious reason why he wouldn't go well once again. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 2 (2) |
9th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 60y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Handy sort whose record here reads 131; has run well in both starts under Chloe Lyons since returning to turf last month, going down by just a neck at Newbury (5f, good to firm) eight days ago; respected off the same mark. |

Not the force of old and, although he retains some ability, others in this field have more pressing claims. |

4th 3 (5) |
12th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Multiple 5f winner down the years, including over C&D, but his powers appear to be on the wane; a couple of respectable efforts last month but more will be needed to win. |

9th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
1-21; mainly seen on the AW but appears to handle turf; drops to this level for the first time and the stable won this last year; each-way claims. |
13/2 |
|
7th 7 (9) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Faded out of contention on last month's stable debut at Kempton (6f; first-time visor) but is well handicapped on his winter form for Mike Murphy and this C&D suits; sports refitted cheekpieces; not ruled out. |
9/1 |
|
9th 10 (2) |
25th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Sole win was in December 2024 but he finished close fourth over C&D in January, on his final run for Mike Murphy; been gelded since and he needs a close look on his return for new yard; visor goes on and tongue-tie and cheekpieces are removed. |

18th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Signed off for 2025 with 6f success here in October; looked rusty after seven months off when ninth of ten in 5f Windsor handicap last month; should strip sharper here. |
8/1 |

9th 12 (9) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Both wins have been on Tapeta and latest was at Southwell (6f) in her final run last season; 4lb higher on her return but she's still lightly raced on turf and should be unfazed by this drop back in trip; needs watching in market. |

8th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 21y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Five wins in 2025 (all at 5f; on good, heavy and soft ground); had trip and draw excuses for first two runs this year but he'd shot his bolt over a furlong out at Goodwood last time out; might do better back on a more conventional track and the change in the weather brings him into it. |
6/1 |

7th 7 (1) |
22nd May 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Very productive in 2025, winning five times; hindered by wide draw at Chester most recently, otherwise has a good record over 5f; just needs to prove he can overcome current mark. |
12/1 |
|
9th 13 (12) |
7th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Posted duck eggs over 6f in last two appearances, not beaten entirely by the trip; has a very good record at 5f but faces a harder task off current mark at this level, especially from an unfavourable draw. |
