9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
He's on a reduced mark and his yard is going well; however, he had a patchy campaign last season and was soundly beaten in April on his sole run this year (pulled hard on that stable debut); others have less to prove. |
10/1 |

13th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Picked up for 4,000gns from the Hannon yard last autumn after breaking a blood-vessel for the second time in four runs; not much luck and maybe fresh is the time to catch him, going in a first-time hood, but the stiff 6f is a concern (most starts at 5f). |

23rd Jun 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Consistent and probably a career-best to win after a break at Chepstow (5f, good to firm; fine on softer); only 2lb higher so has to be taken seriously. |
7/2 |
|
1st 1 (2) |
29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 16y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Largely consistent 6yo who gained last season's win at Bath (5.7f, good to firm) in September; subsequent defeat on heavy ground there can be overlooked but he makes his reappearance from a fairly tough mark. |
10/1 |
|
8th 3 (5) |
20th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Improved his turf strike-rate to 7-26 when beating 13 rivals over C&D (good to firm) last month; that was a narrow success but he's been as good as ever since a visor has been added and is versatile ground-wise; big player again up 3lb. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 16y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
C&D winner; should be well treated now but that has been the case for a while and he keeps finding one or two too strong; conditions no problem and likely to give his running again; stable also run Savannah Smiles. |
7/2 |

3rd 4 (4) |
17th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Losing run up to 13, but running well in defeat lately and fared best of those on his side when fourth of nine at Chepstow (5f, soft) 11 days ago; record over C&D reads 314; player. |
4/1 |

4th 1 (4) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
C&D winner who arrives in decent nick, leading long way when third of five over C&D eight days ago; must enter calculations off the same mark. |

22nd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
0-15 but he was in pretty good heart on AW last winter when last seen and he's also effective on turf; each-way shout if he's at the top of his game following a break. |
8/1 |
|
4th 1 (4) |
30th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
11-race maiden who has struggled in four runs for current yard including when ninth of 11 over C&D last time; has lots to prove and he's untried on slow ground. |

18th May 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Won off this mark at Yarmouth (5f, good to soft) last October but hasn't got going in four runs this year, beating only one rival; needs to show more. |
16/1 |
|
5th 4 (1) |
4th May 2026 Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
C&D winner; had a good time of things in 2025, winning four times; she has finished last in her three AW runs this year and has only dropped 3lb; may need some more help from the handicapper. |
20/1 |
|
7th 4 (1) |
21st Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won at her beloved Yarmouth (5f, good to soft; from 4lb lower) last October; hasn't been at her best since returning to AW recently; this is a fraction easier and she could strip fitter but others are more appealing. |

15th Jul 2026 Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
He'd been headed when badly hampered at Newbury recently (not recover) but was without his usual visor, in which he was running really well in defeat previously under Chloe Lyons at up to 5.2f; he should be fine at this trip; the visor returns and he could bounce back with a big run. |
11/2 |
|
8th 1 (8) |
2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 34y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Three good turf runs to his name this summer, all for today's apprentice Chloe Lyons and including C&D; no obvious reason why he wouldn't go well once again. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 2 (2) |
9th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 60y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Handy sort whose record here reads 131; has run well in both starts under Chloe Lyons since returning to turf last month, going down by just a neck at Newbury (5f, good to firm) eight days ago; respected off the same mark. |

23rd Sep 2025 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Made a successful nursery debut at Brighton (5f, good to firm) just over a year ago and only just beaten in her next two starts over 5f on Polytrack, including here; hasn't matched that form since and failed to beat a rival over C&D last month (behind Gogo Yubari). |
12/1 |

6th 4 (2) |
30th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 5 |

Nursery winner; beaten nine times otherwise and was never going the pace when behind Smooth Silesie at Goodwood last week. |
10/1 |

7 (7) |
22nd Aug 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Won a Brighton nursery 11 months ago; twice runner-up in AW handicaps since then but took a big backward step last time at Brighton. |
