3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Close third at Windsor (5f, good to firm) last month and another good run when runner-up at Brighton (5.2f, good to firm) latest; contender. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 1 (4) |
21st Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 60y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Six-time winner who is dangerous at this level; just 1lb higher than for his AW win in March and he was back at that level when a close third at Windsor (5f, good to firm) three weeks ago; this is his first visit to Brighton but likely to be in the thick of the action. |
11/4 |

3rd 2 (5) |
1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
C&D scorer; not seen to best effect on his last three runs since scoring at Wolverhampton (5f) in March, going too freely from an outside draw when last of six at Bath (5f) last time; interesting from an easing mark. |

27th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 7y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Good efforts on his last three starts, not quite able to peg back Law Of Average's advantage when second at Bath four weeks ago (5f, firm); 2lb better off today and he should give his running again. |
11/4 |
|
2nd 2 (2) |
29th Apr 2026 Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Without a win since his debut at Yarmouth in April 2024 but he's posted three solid efforts since returning from an 85-day break, including in first-time cheekpieces (retained) at Wolverhampton eight days ago; switches back to turf with good claims. |
2/1 |
|
3rd 2 (6) |
21st Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Yet to win on AW (0-7) and hasn't won anywhere since scoring on debut at Yarmouth (5f maiden) in April 2024; thereabouts lately, including when no extra close home over C&D (5-1) 32 days ago; newly applied cheekpieces are worth a go. |

1st 1 (4) |
17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
He's on a hat-trick in this race and followed last year's win by also scoring at Windsor and Yarmouth (all 5f on good to firm in cheekpieces) in August; no wins since but he didn't get much cover when midfield over C&D one week ago and his race record means he can't be discounted; also ran well sole previous go in a visor. |
11/4 |
|
7th 7 (12) |
10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
C&D record reads 131, the defeat coming behind Emperor Spirit in this race last year; 5lb lower than for his last win and although he's yet to really shine this year, the booking of Oisin Murphy is notable; contender with frequent cheekpieces now discarded. |
11/2 |
|
5th 1 (6) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 42y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
C&D win last August came off a 3lb higher mark; encouraging reappearance here five weeks ago and today's ground will be more suitable; solid claims dropped into a Class 4. |

20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Reserve; front-runs; superb 4-5 strike-rate on AW but his turf form isn't up to the same level, albeit soft ground wouldn't have been ideal when fifth of 15 behind Sondad at Epsom recently; up against it. |
50/1 |
|
5th 7 (3) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 3y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Record of 4-5 on AW features a hat-trick since being gelded; chance depends on whether he can transfer the form back to turf; only 1-11 in this sphere and he is 16lb higher than last attempt. |
7/1 |
|
1st 1 (3) |
17th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Record on the AW reads 1211 and he was impressive when making virtually all over 6f here eight days ago; 5lb penalty and return to 5f shouldn't preclude another big performance. |

23rd Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
9-38, her latest success coming when beating three rivals off 2lb lower at Salisbury (5f, good to firm) in June; just as effective over this trip and was poorly drawn when well held at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) last time; not dismissed. |
6/1 |
|
10th 9 (13) |
31st Jul 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Ended 2024 in fine form, winning three AW handicaps between September and November; off the mark for 2025 when keeping on strongly to win an uncompetitive four-runner event at Salisbury last month; respectable third at Newmarket 13 days ago; drawn widest and likely vulnerable. |
12/1 |
|
5 (2) |
18th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Three 6f AW wins last autumn and back on the scoresheet in four-runner handicap at Salisbury (5f, good to firm) last month; inconsistent this year and in a tougher race today, but she's nevertheless respected up 4lb. |

20th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
8st 8lb |
Prolific in 2024 and made a welcome return to form when third last week at Nottingham (5f, good); has slipped to a good mark. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 3 (6) |
15th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won six times in 2024, all over about 5f in first half of the year, but well below her best this season and going the wrong way. |
16/1 |
|
9th 3 (7) |
2nd Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Won six times in 2024 but well below her best this season; continues to slide down the weights but her last couple of efforts were particularly disappointing and she has a much better strike-rate on turf. |

24th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Confirmed trailblazer who has won 13 races in his career (six on AW), but has finished out of the frame in all six starts over C&D; blinkers go on for the first time on his 86th start; others preferred. |
11/1 |

23rd Sep 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
One of the faster sprinters in training and he belatedly got off the mark for the year with a front-running win at Wolverhampton 17 days ago; 6lb rise against stronger opposition could find him out. |
8/1 |
|
1st 1 (3) |
6th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Trailblazing sprinter who got no peace up front when beaten favourite in a Racing League handicap last time; ran a stormer the time before at Haydock and should give it a good shot from stall 3; has form here. |

6th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
C&D scorer but his recent form is far from encouraging, beating only two in 5f Southwell handicap 17 days ago; hood goes back on; work to do. |
14/1 |
|
7th 1 (2) |
20th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Possibly needed latest run (when back from a break); losing sequence is mounting up but this drop in class may do the trick; interesting at this level off 11lb below last winning mark. |
13/2 |
|
14 (3) |
21st Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Needs things to fall just right for him but he is on a lowly mark and some of this summer's form gives him leading claims; wouldn't judge him too harshly on latest Leicester run and he holds each-way claims again. |
10/1 |
