2nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Useful winner of four 1m2f handicaps on the Flat on soft/good to firm; not as good over hurdles so far, best run when third to two subsequent winners at Sedgefield last time in March (good); cheekpieces tried again (finished lame the previous occasion he wore them); player. |

3rd 4 |
10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 178y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Useful Flat racer who kept on for third over hurdles at Wetherby (2m, soft) in December; well beaten twice since but had excuses last time (heavy ground; finished lame) and will be dangerous here if back on song; cheekpieces left off this time. |
7/2 |

13th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 51y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Two heavy defeats among his three hurdle starts but in between he caught the eye keeping on for third at Wetherby (2m, soft); has potential off opening jumps mark in view of his useful Flat form, and his four wins in that code came in cheekpieces which he wears over hurdles for the first time. |

11th Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
9yo who was down the field at Southwell (1m3f, AW) last time but was running consistently well prior to that; this C&D winner has an each-way chance if bouncing back. |
25/1 |
|
9th 1 (10) |
28th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 3 |
9st 13lb |
Hearty strike-rate on turf, adding another in a Racing League race at Yarmouth (1m2f) in July; less of a win machine on AW but both wins have come on this track, over C&D and 1m4f in early 2024, and he was involved in a tight finish back on AW at Wolverhampton two starts ago; not far away. |

12th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 11y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Completed a hat-trick in a 2m good-ground handicap at Aintree in June (2lb lower) but was turned over at odds-on back in a novice next time and has twice performed miserably on the Flat since; something to prove now. |
8/1 |
|
14th 8 (8) |
13th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Completed a hurdles hat-trick in 2023; failed to beat a rival last month on return from lengthy absence and needs to prove he retains ability; raced mainly over longer trips. |
50/1 |
|
11th 3 (2) |
28th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Progressive hurdler when last seen in 2023, although below best on final start that September; had smart AW form in Group 3 and Listed 1m2f races for Roger Varian earlier and his mark has dropped 8lb since last seen on the Flat; fascinating to see how the betting goes back from absence. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Did well to finish fifth of 16 over C&D (good) on reappearance four weeks ago having been hampered soon after the start and raced wide; however, he goes well fresh so may not improve for that outing, and it's likely this 9yo will be vulnerable against numerous unexposed contenders. |
50/1 |
|
5th 4 (10) |
12th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Ten-time winner who was close to a lifetime best when bagging Doncaster handicap (1m2f, soft) at the Leger meeting in September; still marooned on this career-high mark despite two subsequent defeats but his form figures after a 50-day break or more read 32112913 and he won't mind if the rains come. |
25/1 |
|
6 (4) |
25th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 2f 43y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
8yo who has been in and out this year and was soundly beaten at Epsom (1m2f, good to soft) last time but prior to that he won over today's C&D (soft) and can't be ruled out off this 4lb higher mark. |

12th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 3f 197y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Seen a good deal more often on AW but won the latest of her four turf races, over 11.6f on good ground at Lingfield in June, and that was up with her best form; close second on good to soft last year; looks vulnerable off this mark but 5lb claimer Jack Callan is enlisted. |
14/1 |
|
6 (8) |
28th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Acts well on Tapeta, winning at Wolverhampton (1m4f) in November and ran to a similar level over that trip here before Christmas; has had some good results since but C&D run in July wasn't one of them; must revive. |
10/1 |
|
11th 1 (3) |
13th Jul 2025 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Has clocked up a very solid record in handicaps, with last month's win in a small field on turf but seen mostly on AW, including here; unlikely to be far away. |

29th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Consistent mare whose three wins on the AW include two here (1m/1m4f); still on a fair mark and should again run her race. |
6/1 |
|
4th 5 (1) |
22nd May 2026 Soft 1m 3f 218y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Three-time AW scorer; turf form features two good efforts but she's 0-4 in this sphere and was below par at Doncaster most recently; not the percentage call in this warmer contest. |
12/1 |
|
4th 2 (2) |
25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 197y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
A two-time AW scorer (around 1m4f) last spring and she resumed from six months off with a solid second of seven in 1m4f Wolverhampton handicap three weeks ago; she can make her presence felt back on turf. |

15th Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Two AW wins this summer (1m2f/1m3f) but well beaten on her last three starts (AW/turf) and is now 0-7 on grass; needs to turn things around. |
14/1 |
|
12th 4 (5) |
12th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 3f 197y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Won two AW handicaps this summer, easily best effort at Southwell (1m3f) second occasion; no impact in two Listed races on softer than good but this is her first turf handicap since the spring; worth another go at 1m4f. |
16/1 |
|
8 (6) |
28th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Some way below best when never involved in Listed turf race recently but she'd shown tenacity when making it 3-3 on the AW, over this C&D in July on first course start; 7lb higher in a stronger race and she probably needs to improve again. |

13th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
His last win was 14 months ago but he made some good late headway when runner-up at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm) last month; only 1lb higher here and he looks interesting back up in trip. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 2 (7) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 3f 99y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Defied an 8lb higher mark over C&D in May 2025 but was in better form at the time; chance depends on the effects of a belated third attempt in blinkers (last worn in 2023). |
8/1 |
|
11th 13 (9) |
15th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Won twice over about 1m4f (AW/good to firm) last spring and he's thrown in judged on that form; twice close up on AW in January and a respectable third at Bath (2m) in April, before Ascot 2m race last week proved too tough; there's a rethink on trip today and cheekpieces (last used in June 2024) return. |

11th Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Can take a hold so needs a good pace to aim at, which he had when winning at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) in August; still 2lb higher, but this may also be run to suit him so very much frame material. |
20/1 |
|
4th 7 (4) |
28th Sep 2025 Good 1m 2f 17y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Below par on AW last time; largely respectable form on turf otherwise this season, notably Windsor success in August; possibly has very little in hand off current mark, however. |
14/1 |
|
10 (1) |
28th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 3 |
8st 10lb |
The latest of three turf wins was at Windsor (1m2f) two weeks ago; one respectable effort on dirt at Jebel Ali in early 2024 but unraced on AW in Britain and he likely needs something new for Tapeta if he's to defy his current mark. |

25th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 2f 43y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Seven wins this year (1m-1m4f, including on good to soft; unraced on softer) and looked better than ever when close third of 11 at Nottingham (1m2f, good to soft) last time; in the mix if handling the ground. |
15/2 |

2 (1) |
2nd Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 50y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Can make the running; highly progressive 4yo until a lesser result at Ayr on latest outing but being hampered at the start seemed to scupper him; had seven wins May-August and went mighty close at the Doncaster St Leger meeting last month; 5lb higher today but he remains one for the shortlist. |
100/30 |
|
10 (10) |
18th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Highly progressive 4yo who made it seven wins from his last nine starts when scoring at Southwell (1m3f, AW) last month, and he was a close second of 14 off this mark at Doncaster last Thursday (1m4f, good to soft; unraced on softer); reappears before 5lb rise kicks in and holds very solid claims. |

27th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Landed a seller over C&D last October; only beaten 2l when sixth of 11 at Lingfield (1m, AW) 13 days ago on his first run back and should be suited by the step up in trip; can go well. |
11/2 |
|
6th 6 (2) |
14th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Went close first time out as a 2yo for Andrew Balding and landed the odds in a C&D maiden on his comeback last March, so has that in his favour; closed out last season with a win in a seller but will need to improve on his five handicap efforts. |
8/1 |
|
1st 5 (4) |
18th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Sole win in ten runs came when 1-7f for a 1m AW maiden in March for Andrew Balding, whom he left for 28,000gns; stable debut in August was okay but well beaten on soft ground last month; would seem more likely to give his running than some but he is not straightforward. |
