Notched a first success in over two years in 7f handicap at Lingfield last month; needs to back it up off a 5lb higher mark here in a change of headgear. |

Denied clear run before keeping on to snatch respectable fourth over C&D (good) last month but remains without a win since 2024 and is not the percentage call. |

9st 8lb |
Not straightforward and was tailed off after missing the break at Ffos Las last month but he won by 4l there (6f, heavy) on his penultimate start; has claims if he can recapture that form and he has won off a higher mark in the past. |

28th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Not straightforward but he has more ability than his mark and his last two wins have been emphatic ones, latterly a near-5l success over 6f here 19 days ago (heavy; first time accessories); that form has been boosted by the reopposing Diamondsinthesand and a 5lb rise still leaves him lower than when running away with an Epsom handicap last summer (7f, good to soft); 5f asks a different question of him but his stamina will be an asset and they are likely to go hard. |

9st 6lb |
Turf maiden (0-13) who has gained four 7f wins on AW, the most recent of which was at Lingfield in March; twice placed during the summer, losing out by a neck (third) at Salisbury on penultimate start; returns from a break. |
4/1 |

Four-time winner on the AW and 0-12 on turf, but was only beaten a head and a short head into third of 13 in an amateur riders' event at Salisbury (7f, good to firm) ten days ago; 1lb higher, but still shortlisted. |

23rd Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 213y Class 6 |

Can lead; four AW wins at 7f but 0-11 on turf and the way he was finishing at Brighton in May suggests he won't be one of the stronger finishers with extra emphasis on stamina on this track. |

7th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Regressive maiden (5f-7f) who's been tried in two forms of headgear; runs in his first classified, he usually over-races and can miss the kick, so will never come without risk. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |

0-18, with his solitary second over 7f on soft; ended 2025 with two respectable thirds in October, including over 7f here on good to firm, but first time out has seen two of his best shows, so he needs a second look today. |

13th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Dual AW winner who was placed on turf here (1m2f) last month but he flopped on his drop back to 1m at Bath (started slowly) 12 days ago; needs to bounce back after that and he's probably more potent over longer trips these days. |
12/1 |

18th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

Doesn't win very often (3-36) but has two wins at this track, the latest a similar event (1m2f, AW) in January; has run creditably since until taking a dip when eighth of 15 at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) last month on his return to turf; has the form to run well here if putting his best foot forward. |

20th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Runner-up twice at Chepstow this season (1m, good/good to firm) but is far too inconsistent to rely upon, and his recent efforts have been very disappointing; swaps usual blinkers for refitted cheekpieces. |

9th 10 (1) |
30th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Very hit-and-miss these days and his second of 13 at Chepstow (good to firm) in July hasn't been reproduced in six subsequent starts; 1lb out of the weights and others look a lot safer. |

25th Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 14y Class 2 |

Usually leads and has the option of going up the far side from stall 1; hit-and-miss these days, for a trainer also responsible for Romanovich (a fellow front-runner drawn on the opposite wing) but is capable off a feather weight if tactics decide the day. |

9th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Bounced back to form to open account with clearcut 7f win here last month, her tenth start; it's hard to predict whether she'll build on that success but a 4lb rise does not seem excessive and she should be okay back at 1m. |

8th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |

Maiden who's been as far as 1m4f and hasn't run in a sprint since his debut; has been making the running over further of late but whether he'll be able to from the outside stall round here is a question and he has something to find anyway. |

Maiden who's not without hope off this mark if the first-time tongue-tie helps back from a seven-week break; best efforts have come on Tapeta but he's only had a few runs on turf to date. |
