9th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Runner-up a couple times this season, but he was beaten 14l after an awkward start at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) last month and that took his overall record to 1-19; others preferred. |
10/1 |

15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Fairly bolted up at Epsom (7f, good to firm) last July; that remains his only success but he's generally been running well this term and the handicapper is starting to give him a chance; respected. |
9/2 |

3rd 5 (6) |
9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Has modest 1-17 strike-rate but he's pretty consistent and his win was gained over C&D on good to firm ground (just under a year ago); finished well for second at Leicester (6f, good) last month and this step back up in trip is an obvious move; high on the list. |

11th Feb 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
8.6f winner at Wolverhampton on her final start for Roger Varian; two modest efforts for her new yard last month; something to prove for now. |
12/1 |

31st Jan 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Ended time with Roger Varian with a breakthrough success over the extended 1m at Wolverhampton but well beaten over that same C&D on her first outing for new connections; back down in trip. |
10/1 |

20th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Free-going filly; consistent rather than progressive but she's edging down the weights and has been running respectably at a modest level; this is her first run in 0-60 company and she should make a bold bid. |

16th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Inconsistent since winning off current mark over C&D in May; however, holds a fighting chance provided he takes well to new headgear and turns up in top form. |
16/1 |
|

13th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Won a 7f handicap at Brighton in May off 1lb lower; back to form when second at Chelmsford 16 days ago (7f); runs off the same mark and shouldn't be far away. |

29th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Promise in her novice starts and again when fifth of 11 in a 7f handicap here two weeks ago; looked worth another crack at 6f on that occasion and she remains of interest off a reduced mark. |

15th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

Down the field in her two handicaps but she hinted at much better in her novice runs; remains capable of better and market support would look significant. |

29th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Loves it here, winning three times (7f/8.6f) from ten visits and only once finishing out of the frame; still has stamina to prove, but a major player if seeing out the trip. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 5 (9) |
15th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Ended a long losing sequence over 7f here in July and posted a solid fourth of 12 over C&D 20 days ago; this C&D winner must enter calculations. |
9/2 |

26th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Three-time course winner over 7f/8.6f and suggested he needed a return to a stiffer test when fifth of 11 at Lingfield (1m, Polytrack) six days ago; respected. |

15th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 216y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Two wins, including C&D, this summer; three defeats at Epsom have followed August's 7f win there but he is back to a winning mark and this is an ease in grade; not discounted. |
11/1 |
|
8th 9 (6) |
27th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 113y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Won at Brighton (1m, good) in June and here (7f, good to firm) last month; respectable efforts here on his last two starts (including C&D) but 1lb out of the handicap today and may again be vulnerable. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 7 (9) |
10th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 113y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Hold-up performer who gained his second success at this track when getting up late over 7f last month (good to firm); stuck at it for fourth here ten days ago (again 7f; good to soft) and should have this run to suit on his return to 1m; strongly considered. |

15th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Inconsistent 4yo whose best efforts have come from the front, latterly at a big price round Kempton ten days ago; usually pulls hard and often hangs right, and is far from certain to repeat the dose. |
8/1 |
|
14 (7) |
5th Oct 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Got off the mark at Lingfield (7f, AW) in March but he's lost his way in last five starts; did too much early on from wide draw at Wolverhampton last time but he's now 1-18 and others are more convincing. |
33/1 |
|
7th 7 (10) |
21st Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Got off the mark at Lingfield (7f, AW) in March and was only beaten 1l over C&D in May but has suffered four heavy defeats since; has plenty to prove. |

25th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
C&D winner last June but she's been unplaced in all five starts since joining this stable; didn't see it out over 7f at Brighton last time but should appreciate this drop back in trip; hood is removed and she has each-way chance. |
16/1 |
|
5th 1 (1) |
6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Unplaced all four starts for new stable this season but was denied a clear run when fourth in this grade here (6f, good to firm) two starts ago and is probably worth another crack at 7f; could have a say. |
14/1 |
