30th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Four wins over 6f/7f here; just 2lb above his last winning mark but well held in both starts since returning last month, including when behind three of these over C&D eight days ago; more needed; stable also runs Jackson Street. |

22nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Not as consistent in recent times but rarely fails to give her running round here; little room for manoeuvre off this mark but a good test back down in trip will be fine and she holds each-way claims. |

7th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |

Conditions to suit and he is on a winning mark but it has been a long time since he won above Class 6 company; others are stronger. |

25th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Came from off the pace when winning at Southwell (7f, AW) in March but he's been below that level in three starts since; all five wins on turf have been at Brighton and others have stronger claims. |

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 |

10th 8 (3) |
1st Jul 2026 Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Form figures in classified company read 35124323 but he might be tapped for toe back at 1m this evening. |

3rd 4 (12) |
18th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
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. |

13th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
In-form 4yo who has been placed at Wolverhampton (8.6f) in his last two starts including when runner-up in a handicap last Monday; usually comes from off the pace and has claims if he gets the breaks. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 7 (9) |
6th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Two of his four wins in 2025 came in handicaps here, one over C&D; has been below that form since and a resurgent effort last time came in a classified race. |
10/1 |

3rd 4 (10) |
16th Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Progressive in the early months of last year for Gay Kelleway but has lost his way; runs in 0-50 company for the first time but that's as a consequence of having regressed further for his current yard this season. |

19th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 216y Class 6 |

Has done a lot of his racing over further and has struggled since picked up from Adam West; very hard to fancy back from three months off. |

19th May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
AW winner at 1m for previous yard but she's finished out the back in AW classified races for new connections before pulling up on hurdle debut last week; best watched for now. |

8th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
6f seller winner on turf (good) last year (second start) but has come up short of that level on all subsequent starts, latest at Wolverhampton (6f, Tapeta), having not been disgraced in a Lingfield classified event (7f, Polytrack) prior to that; not ruled out of the frame. |
20/1 |

16th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Sole win was in a Leicester seller (6f, good) as a 2yo; in the frame in his last four starts including when fourth of 14 in a 0-50 contest at Lingfield (7f, Polytrack; first-time blinkers) last month, but not sure the return to 6f is ideal. |
9/1 |

14 (7) |
30th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Sole win was in a Leicester seller (6f, good) last July; respectable third back at Leicester (7f) last month but he's not built on that in two runs since and needs to find more in new headgear. |

11th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

Bounced back with fair third at Brighton (7f, good) last month but he hasn't backed that up in two subsequent runs and is now 0-10; down the list. |

1st Sep 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Kept on for very respectable third over C&D (good) last month and has claims if judged on that performance but he was unable to land a telling blow when upped to 1m here a fortnight later and is now 0-9. |
11/2 |

19th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 216y Class 6 |

Couple of costly defeats in early summer before blowing out on good to soft ground last month; signs he might be about to get it together when third over C&D a fortnight ago, however, and has possibilities. |

Her two best efforts this winter have come over C&D but she will need a personal best if she is to make it 13th time lucky. |

6th 8 (4) |
12th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |

11-race maiden; her best effort came over C&D in December but it hasn't been a springboard to better things. |
33/1 |
