10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Has done well with cheekpieces, winning twice at 1m2f at Sandown (good/soft) last summer; started 2026 with three creditable in-frame efforts (including good to firm) but needs to shrug off a lesser effort over C&D four weeks ago. |

Has done well with cheekpieces, winning twice at 1m2f at Sandown last summer (good/soft); acts on fast ground and following three fair runs this season has an each-way chance. |

Two Yarmouth runs over 1m2f in April tie in closely with A Major Payne, including when a whisker behind that rival in third a fortnight ago; shouldn't be much between the pair again. |

Both wins have been over 1m2f on good to soft, with the most recent coming at Doncaster in September after the first past the post was disqualified for a banned substance; well beaten at Newbury on his return but this is a drop in grade. |

2-13, his latest success coming off this mark at Doncaster (1m2f, good to soft) last September after the first past the post was disqualified for a banned substance; off seven months but has gone well fresh before; each-way possibilities. |

9st 4lb |
High marks for consistency of late and belatedly doubled his tally at Lingfield last month (1m4f, AW); better form when going down by a nose under same conditions next time and it wasn't much of a drop off when third at Windsor last week; hard to rule out. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 3 (4) |
18th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 99y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Just two wins from 25 starts but latest was at Lingfield (1m4f, AW) last month and he had a near-miss on his return visit three weeks ago; up another 3lb but he remains feasibly treated and his first win was on turf; strongly respected. |
7/2 |

2nd 7 (6) |
27th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |

Gained a first success (since his debut in 2023) when edging out Wonder by 1l in 15-runner handicap over C&D 24 days ago; 2lb worse off here but still not taken lightly. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
10st 9lb |
All wins have been at 1m2f and he ran well over the extended 1m here on reappearance, before a lesser show at Sandown; his record at this track is very solid, but those on good to firm and at 1m4f less so. |
6/1 |
|
7th 13 (16) |
12th Jun 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 3 |
8st 12lb |
All wins have been at 1m2f, on ground ranging from soft to good; therefore, his reappearance effort when a closing third (just behind Sweet Reward) over the extended 1m at Epsom can be viewed positively. |
16/1 |

3rd 6 (1) |
28th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 113y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Respectable fourth in the Great Metropolitan on last year's card; one win last year but it did come here in July and he was a respectable second at this track (also 1m2f, good to soft; has won on good) in September; below par over 1m on his final start in October and this trip again asks a question; market might help ahead of his comeback. |

17th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 35y Class 3 |

A fair 1m4f scorer for Hughie Morrison who showed winning hurdling form over the winter for her current yard; not out of things back in this sphere with a visor added. |

18th Apr 2026 Soft 3m 0f 70y Class 2 |
10st 3lb |
She's run reasonably well, albeit without seriously threatening, in her first two handicap hurdles (2m1f/2m, soft/good to soft); won five times on the Flat (at up to 1m4f) and she could have more to offer in this code, but it remains to be seen whether she'll stay this far. |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 51y Class 2 |

Five-time Flat winner (including on good ground) who won at Hexham (2m, heavy) in December on second hurdle start; 6l second of 14 behind improving winner on handicap hurdle debut at Carlisle (2m1f, soft) last month and could still be capable of better in this code in view of her Flat form. |

Successful in Britain and Bahrain during his spell with George Scott; gave impression something was amiss when last seen (had wind surgery since); current mark, combined with carrying a big weight, makes this his stiffest handicap assignment. |
8/1 |

16th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 23y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Ex-Irish 3yo; favourite in both starts for new yard last month, but after winning a Yarmouth maiden (1m2f, good to firm) he was held in sixth on handicap debut at Sandown (1m2f, soft); still has potential after only seven starts but he needs to find more with cheekpieces added. |

9st 11lb |
Secured a fourth win (three on turf) when taking Lingfield handicap (1m2f, AW) on his April reappearance but that hasn't been backed up in two subsequent starts; latest fourth was a step back in the right direction, however, when shaping like this first attempt at 1m4f is worth a go; 1-1 here and he holds each-way prospects. |
16/1 |
|
4th 8 (9) |
8th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Acts on good to firm and good to soft; reappeared with a comfortable AW win in April but he's not easy to predict and was tailed off back on turf at Lingfield (1m2f, good to firm) last month; needs to bounce back again after that but he still looks feasibly treated on his penultimate form. |
16/1 |
|
8th 8 (6) |
9th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Hit the ground running last year, winning twice at Nottingham in April, over 8.5f (good) and 1m2f (good to firm); also scored at Epsom (good to soft) in September and once again made a winning return when picking up an AW handicap here (1m2f) 19 days ago; up 5lb and this is tougher but he's progressive and can't be ignored. |

29th Aug 2025 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |

Gosden 3yo who has shown improvement since switched to handicaps, winning at Yarmouth then good third over C&D; subsequently gelded; may do better still; one for the shortlist. |

5th Jul 2025 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |

Clearly underestimated by the handicapper when showing a willing attitude at Yarmouth (1m2f, good to firm) in late April; he's in a lot deeper here and off a 7lb higher mark, so has to step up again; that's perfectly feasible, however. |

8th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Completed a 2m AW hat-trick over the winter and she posted another good effort with second of five in 1m4f handicap at Epsom in April; that form has been well advertised since so she's not taken lightly eased 1lb after a break. |
9/4 |

2nd 5 (2) |
28th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 6y Class 3 |

Ex-Irish mare who secured an AW hat-trick once upped to 2m across December and January but suffered odds-on reversal when dropped to 1m6f in bid for the four-timer; drops further in trip returned to turf (had form on grass in Ireland) on this first start for three months; others more persuasive. |
8/1 |

5th 1 (7) |
22nd Jan 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Record of 3-3 since upped to 2m, most recently scoring readily at Lingfield last week; incurs 5lb penalty but Jude Fernandes takes off 7lb; ran well over C&D prior to the hat-trick; progressing well on AW and commands respect. |
