29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Won comfortably after travelling strongly at Leicester (6f, good to firm) last month but he's not hit the same level in two subsequent runs; ran respectably back at Leicester last time but he needs to find more to get back on the scoresheet. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 2 (7) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Won comfortably after travelling strongly over this C&D (good to firm) last month but his jockey reported he never travelled when fourth of nine under a penalty at Salisbury (6f, good) 30 days ago; now 2lb higher but he can't be dismissed. |

16th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Epsom specialist who predictably ran well in sole Brighton attempt; well treated on lots of 7f form; gives 1m a belated second go. |
8/1 |
|
6th 7 (7) |
28th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Epsom specialist who has form figures of 3127 in this race, the win in 2022; on a two-year losing spell but ran encouragingly (third to Kisskodi) over C&D most recently; possibilities off current mark. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 9 (5) |
11th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Has form on all surfaces; won this in 2021 and 2023, and finished a close second in 2022, but he was well beaten when favourite here 12 months ago and his form has been quite mixed this year; he's a possible reviver back in this race but he hasn't justified shortish prices on last two starts, including over C&D, which leaves questions to answer. |

1st 1 (13) |
13th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
16-race maiden but he was runner-up three times last season and wasn't beaten far when fifth in new headgear at Kempton (6f, AW) 11 days ago; that was eye-catching from off the pace and he's in the mix back up in trip. |
5/1 |
|
5th 6 (4) |
2nd Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
15-race maiden but he did finish runner-up on three occasions last year (twice on the AW); however, he's been down the field in three starts this year and drops back in trip with a bit to prove; first-time visor replaces cheekpieces. |
9/1 |
|
8th 8 (1) |
7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
8st 8lb |
14-race maiden; no impact in his two runs this year (following a wind operation) and the addition of cheekpieces isn't enough to tempt. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Scored over C&D in June; below par returned to this scenario last time but that race possibly came too soon after a good effort three days earlier; may rebound. |
6/1 |
|
7th 6 (6) |
4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Ridden more patiently than usual when gaining a second success of 2026 over C&D in June and backed it up with a very good second of ten in 7f Thirsk handicap three days ago; a player off an unchanged mark. |
9/4 |
|
2nd 1 (10) |
1st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
He has run a string of good races in 2026, winning for the second time when comfortably seeing off five rivals at Beverley (7.4f, good) last week; that effort was backed up by the Topspeed figure and he can't be discounted under a 5lb penalty. |

9th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Off the mark in a 7f Lingfield maiden (soft) on fourth start but he hasn't looked worth his mark in two handicaps since, over 6f and 7f; down further 2lb but likely to need another drop before of interest. |
20/1 |

7 (1) |
7th Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Grabbed the favoured stands' rail when off the mark in a soft-ground maiden at Lingfield and dropped away tamely on handicap debut at Doncaster, albeit back at 6f; others preferred. |
12/1 |
|
8th 3 (7) |
24th Jul 2025 Soft 0m 6f 2y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Off the mark at the fourth attempt when landing a Lingfield maiden (7f, soft) last month; pulled hard in that race but he grabbed the stands' rail and did well to hold off some finishers; looks on fair mark now switched to a handicap and he's open to more progress on this drop back in trip. |

22nd Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Four-time 7f winner, the latest when getting first run on Dream Illusion at Haydock 17 days ago; couldn't cope with a penalty at Chester one week later but she races off 3lb lower today; has the ability to feature but she hasn't shone in previous Leicester runs. |
5/1 |
|
4th 7 (3) |
12th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Returned to form with win at Haydock (7f, good) one week ago, despite racing a bit too freely and encountering some traffic; 5lb penalty and due to go up only 2lb but suited by this C&D and can pose a threat. |
7/2 |
|
1st 5 (7) |
5th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Won over C&D last July and back on the scoresheet at Wolverhampton in February; however, her three runs on turf this summer haven't been great. |

15th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 215y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Three wins (5.6f/7f) for the Kublers and latest was at this track last August; well handicapped on that form but she's struggled in three runs for current yard and needs a big turnaround. |
14/1 |
|
9 (5) |
7th Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Three wins for the Kubler yard included one over C&D; has finished last in both her runs for Tony Carroll following an absence and cheekpieces did nothing for her when tried once before. |
33/1 |
|
5th 3 (2) |
2nd Jun 2025 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Did a lot of her racing for the Kubler yard in sprints but proved fine over 7f last summer, including a win here; offered little on her comeback for new trainer (Local Bay looks his best shout) three weeks ago, however, and has to prove her stamina. |

20th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Three 7f wins this year, including on Tapeta, and only 1lb higher than for the latest; well short of his best on his last two runs (slowly away latest); revival not out of the question. |
10/1 |
|
6 (8) |
7th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Three wins over 7f this season, the first on Tapeta at Newcastle and the last two (Chepstow, Brighton) on fast ground; not at his best on Tapeta last time but could still go well. |
9/1 |
|
5th 8 (5) |
25th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Won at Brighton (7f, good to firm) last month before a respectable fourth of ten at Catterick (7f, good to firm) 38 days ago; has won over this C&D and can go well. |
