18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Both turf wins have been at 1m on good to firm; has won twice in blinkers on AW this year; although not in top form last twice, these conditions are ideal and could go well on this return to turf. |
8/1 |

4th 1 (6) |
7th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won twice at this level earlier in the year, including C&D; finished behind Gloriola when fifth over C&D three weeks ago; should give a good account. |

16th Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Serial hard-puller who won a 0-50 over C&D in the winter and has held his form well; not beaten far in handicaps on last two outings and may have needed it last time after a break; one to consider. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 3f 179y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Three-time winner, the most recent coming at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW) in November; runner-up there over 9.5f in April but he was well beaten at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) three weeks ago and needs to bounce back. |
16/1 |

10th 5 (16) |
23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Good run of turf form last summer included when making all at Yarmouth (1m2f, good to soft; acts on quicker) in July; mostly creditable efforts on AW since winning at Wolverhampton (1m4f) in November and he's far from ruled out back on grass despite tricky stall. |

19th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
A fair 2m2f hurdles winner at his best but he ended his time with Gary and Josh Moore out of sorts before Christmas; pulled up on his yard debut over C&D recently and tongue-tie is added here. |
50/1 |
|
5 |
6th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Hurdle winner in 2022 whose latest success came in a classified event (1m2f) last August when with the Moores; minor hurdle form in the autumn and up against it for new yard after a break. |
20/1 |

1 |
20th Oct 2025 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Won basement-grade Flat race this summer and returned to hurdling with very respectable fourth on handicap debut at Fontwell (2m1f, good) last month; still unexposed over hurdles after only two attempts and has possibilities here; first ride over jumps for 10lb claimer Ben Pollard (three Flat wins). |

19th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 198y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Infrequent winner but he showed the right attitude when going in at Leicester (1m2f, good to firm) last Sunday; boasts a good record here, his win coming at this time of the year too, and he has a fair chance of defying a 4lb penalty. |
3/1 |
|

10th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Has a modest strike-rate of 2-39 but has made the frame on all five starts this year and should not be far away. |
8/1 |

2 (14) |
26th Jul 2025 Good 1m 3f 99y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Has modest 2-38 strike-rate but comes here after two pretty good efforts (1m2f/1m) and will be suited by today's move back up in trip; might be the answer. |

7th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has won twice this year and did well after a slow start to claim fourth in a similar race at Lingfield (1m2f, good) last month; if he breaks on terms then he holds strong claims. |

4th 4 (11) |
18th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

Scored on AW at Lingfield in January, and got off the mark on turf at Leicester (1m2f, good to firm) last month; in decent nick at present and should go close. |

8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 23y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Won a 0-50 classified event over C&D last summer and followed up in the same race 12 days ago; not always consistent and is no certainty to back it up, going without cheekpieces this time, but holds major claims under Billy Loughnane. |
7/4 |

1st 4 (5) |
26th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 23y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Pulled up over hurdles on his reappearance last month but he's a dual Flat winner and his last success was in this race (good; 5-2 favourite) last year; yard is in good form and he's an interesting contender back in this sphere; cheekpieces reapplied. |

Very modest on the Flat nowadays and tailed off last month on her first two hurdle starts; a transformation is needed. |

9th 5 |
28th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
A fair 11f Flat winner but she was hooded when a well-held fifth on her yard/hurdling debut in 2m Doncaster maiden 15 days ago; in good hands though so not written off. |
40/1 |

5th 4 |
13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 128y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
A fair 1m3f Flat winner but she ended her time with Tony Forbes below par last autumn; starts out over hurdles now for the in-form Jennie Candlish yard so can't be discounted; hood (tried once in 2023) is refitted. |

16th Aug 2025 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 6 |

Winless in two years and has regressed sharply this season, proving inconsistent in the visor in 0-55 company of late; doesn't make obvious appeal. |

10th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Hasn't won since landing a three-timer in the summer of 2023; has struggled in handicaps this year but stayed on well up in trip when third of 12 in a classified at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) nine days ago; needs to step up back in a handicap. |

1st Aug 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |

Only one piece of worthwhile form since completing a turf hat-trick in the summer of 2023 and has never attempted this far before, but she drops into this company for the first time; market support would be interesting. |

24th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 6 |

3rd Sep 2025 Good 1m 3f 137y Class 6 |

Last won over C&D last May; first-time blinkers (retained) replaced visor for his last two starts and he responded with a creditable third in a classified at Yarmouth (11.5f, good to soft) on first occasion; tailed off on latest, however, which was a poor show notwithstanding the 1m2f. |

9st 4lb |
Made it 2-40 when winning by a neck at Beverley (1m2f, good) three weeks ago; wouldn't normally be an obvious one to follow up, but she is only 2lb higher and the runner-up has won since; shortlisted. |

16th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |

27th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 23y Class 6 |

Sole win from 38 starts came over 7f at Lingfield in 2022 but she has posted some good efforts this year, including when runner-up at Wolverhampton (1m6f, AW) last month; however, she was disappointing at Southwell (2m, AW) 29 days ago and needs to bounce back returned to this shorter trip. |

Yet to add to his turf nursery win three years ago but kept on for fourth off basement mark at Leicester (1m2f, good to firm) in August and did not enjoy the run of the race in 1m4f AW classified last time; considered each-way. |

33-1 second in a Wolverhampton classified (8.5f, Tapeta) in March; didn't get the breaks when an eye-catching fifth on her penultimate start and she wasn't beaten far when fourth of 12 in a Leicester handicap (1m2f, good to firm) 16 days ago; kept on in the latter and this new trip could unlock a bit more; interesting. |
