18th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Won handicaps at Chepstow (6f, good) and Lingfield (7f, AW) before a disappointing run at Chelmsford in his hat-trick bid 16 days ago; drawn widest and others appeal more. |

2nd Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Has been in good form since cheekpieces went on, winning last two races, over 6f at Chepstow and last time by 0.5l over 7f at Lingfield; up 12lb (5lb rise for last win); contender. |

2nd Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
8yo who is without a win since August 2024; however, he was beaten just a nose in a classified here (5.7f, firm) in July and 6f stretched him at Windsor last time; this seven-time course winner could play a leading role back here and back down in trip. |
13/2 |

7th 11 (5) |
17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Pipped by Jackie Brown in a 5.7f classified at Bath last time, with Sisters In The Sky finishing strongly another nose back; that was so nearly his first win for two years (8-81 overall) but coming fourth in 2022 was easily his best result from five visits here. |
8/1 |

2nd 8 (6) |
31st Jul 2026 Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Third in similar C&D race to this (good; first run since rejoining this stable) in June and also ran well when third in recent 5f handicap here (firm) but is not one to rely upon heavily and sometimes races too freely. |

1st Jul 2026 Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Authoritative win over C&D on first start for Chris Gordon last May and plenty went wrong when bidding to win that race again two starts ago (surely would have been heavily involved with a clear run); beaten into second at even-money on AW next time but the winner rather stole it; shortlisted. |
5/2 |
|
2nd 2 (3) |
1st Jun 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Nothing wrong with his C&D second a month ago and was unlucky back on turf last time (same Bath handicap he won last season), when hitting plenty of traffic; will rightly be popular. |
3/1 |
|
6th 2 (6) |
22nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won this race (firm) last year and he scored off 1lb lower at Kempton in the autumn; has remained in good form on AW this year and he chased home an improver at Lingfield (6f) last month; should get a good pace back on turf and he's a big player back at this track. |

26th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Won twice at Brighton in the second half of 2025; ended that campaign with a good second at Lingfield in December but he has been absent since and he'll need a personal best to take this on his return. |
10/1 |
|
5 (4) |
27th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Record of 2-5 since wearing a hood (maiden previously), the wins in Class 6 events at Brighton (about 5f); has to overcome career-high mark back up in trip/grade and returned to AW. |

22nd Aug 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |

Won over C&D last November but has failed to match that level since and doesn't appeal. |

4th 5 (6) |
13th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won three times in the second half of 2025, including here (5f); mixed bag in 2026 but he is capable at this level and shouldn't be discounted; stable also run Real Gold. |
12/1 |
|
5th 8 (2) |
8th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Hard to predict and was well held at Salisbury last time but he looks interesting on his third in a Newbury handicap (6f, good to firm) in June; has claims if he can recapture that form and his last win was at this track. |

15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
In good form on AW this year and he carried on the good work back on turf when finishing second of nine at Nottingham 12 days ago (6f, good); the return to 7f looks a positive and he looks a strong contender. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 1 (11) |
3rd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 18y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won twice on the AW over 7f in February and has gone close on his last two starts, including over this trip 28 days ago; has form on turf and this prominent-racer has claims. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 2 (3) |
6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won twice over 7f (including on Polytrack) in February and he went close off this mark at Southwell last Tuesday; usually races prominently and he's strongly respected on this drop back in trip. |

18th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Ran okay at Lingfield (6f, good to firm) in June but he's not been at the same level on his last two starts; down in the weights but drawn widest and others are more appealing. |
16/1 |
|
9th 7 (2) |
4th Aug 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Has won only once and has missed a couple of chunks of his career in recent times; lacked consistency this summer, latterly when finishing last (well behind two of today's rivals) over C&D a fortnight ago. |
20/1 |
|
12th 2 (9) |
22nd Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
1-28; seen only four times since winning on stable debut at Chepstow (6f, good to soft) in August 2023; well positioned when beaten 1l over C&D (good to firm) 24 days ago; can be involved. |

11th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
His C&D win last October came off a 16lb higher mark so his ability for a race of this nature isn't in doubt; he hasn't been firing in recent starts though, including when well supported. |
6/1 |
|
9 (6) |
18th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Two 6f wins in 2024, both off a mark 14lb higher than today's; the odd promising sign this year and Hector Crouch replaces a 7lb claimer tonight. |
14/1 |
|
4th 1 (4) |
6th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
5yo who has a regressive profile but has dropped down the weights and took a step back in the right direction when sixth of 14 at Windsor (6f, good to firm) in June last time; might not be far away. |

14th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Improved for the switch to AW this winter, winning at Chelmsford in November and adding C&D wins on her next two starts; met trouble in her bid for a four-timer here 16 days ago; needs a career best to defy this mark but it is not out of the question. |
11/2 |
|
5th 3 (1) |
29th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Turf win (6f, good to firm) last summer; improved for the switch to AW this winter, winning at Chelmsford (6f) in November and adding two C&D handicaps since; 5lb rise for latest win against fillies asks a stiffer question of her but foolish to discount in her current form. |

8st 13lb |
Nine-race maiden but he's had a couple of thirds this summer and was beaten less than 2l when fifth at Brighton (7f, good to firm) ten days ago; ties in with Desert Beauty on that form and he's in the mix. |
