8th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Scored twice (over 1m1f) at Goodwood last summer; yet to hit top form this season though, a never-dangerous fifth of eight back at Goodwood (1m1f) last month; has slipped to a lenient mark though so needs considering in a headgear changed for in-form yard. |
8/1 |

5th 5 (1) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 11y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Needs a revival but fast ground wasn't ideal on his comeback run and seven career wins include this race 12 months ago off only 3lb lower; rarely looks straightforward but remains capable of winning races. |
7/2 |
|
11th 3 (3) |
11th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Seven-time winner from 1m-1m2f; not on a bad mark on the pick of last season's efforts, but he has been absent for 193 days and and an inexperienced amateur takes the ride (first Flat ride under rules). |

2nd Sep 2025 Soft 1m 1f 197y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Sole success in 15 came in a 1m good-ground novice here last season; below par this year with and without the hood; others preferred. |
25/1 |

6th 5 (6) |
8th Aug 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Did not progress much after her 1m Goodwood novice win last spring and reappearance (1m, AW) was clearly the best of her three results this term; the hood (absent last time) returns and peak 2024 form reads well but other runners are more persuasive. |
25/1 |

5 (4) |
30th Jun 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Did not progress much after last spring's 1m Goodwood novice win and failed to build upon her encouraging seasonal reappearance when soundly beaten over that C&D this month; others preferred. |

7th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Yet to score this year but has run well a few times, latest when third of five at Lingfield (1m2f, good to firm) ten days ago; should be thereabouts but would prefer some give in the ground. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 2 (6) |
27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Wildly inconsistent this year; better from the front in a small field last time and the return to a switchback track, back up in trip, looks in his favour (fair record on the AW here); whether he reproduces the effort is the question. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 1 (5) |
26th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
For one who has been a model of consistency for much of his career it is slightly disconcerting that he has been well below form in three of his last four starts; the lesser runs have been in Class 5 events and his standout recent effort came when faced with Class 6 opposition, missing out by just a head at Lingfield in February (1m2f, AW); has run well over C&D in the past and a revival could be forthcoming back down in grade. |

5th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Won over hurdles last December (2m); reverted to the Flat in May and was beaten just a neck at Ffos Las (1m4f, good to soft) last month on his second start back, when 7l clear of the third; there's every chance that this trip will be within range and he should again be involved. |
7/4 |
|
2nd 2 (5) |
4th Jun 2026 Good 1m 3f 209y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Both wins, including one over hurdles, came in a hood, which was absent when well beaten on the AW last month and again here; others preferred. |

7th 6 (4) |
18th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Both wins, including one over hurdles, came in a hood, which is absent as he returns from wind surgery after three months off; had plenty of chances off this sort of mark last year. |

4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Not taken to hurdles in a few runs lately; yet to finish placed on the Flat either and still has to prove his stamina over this far, so it's not easy making a case for him. |
10/1 |
|
7th 6 |
3rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Has shown some ability on the Flat (albeit without being placed) and wasn't disgraced when sixth on last month's hurdle debut at Fontwell (2m1f, good) but was well beaten after racing too freely at Bangor 11 days ago. |
25/1 |
|
6th 5 |
23rd May 2026 Good 2m 0f 145y Class 4 |

Eight-race maiden on the Flat and was a well-held sixth of 14 on hurdling debut at Fontwell (2m1f, good) two weeks ago; passed over. |

12th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 90y |

Modest Flat maiden ran his best race over hurdles when fourth in a Bellewstown novice last time; has a chance if backing up that run. |
4/1 |
|
4th 5 |
4th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 40y |
11st 0lb |
Has returned to form on the Flat recently, making the frame in handicaps at Fairyhouse and Down Royal; weak form in two juvenile hurdle runs last year. |
33/1 |

4th 8 (8) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 1m 4f 207y |
9st 9lb |
Snapped a dismal run of form when dropping into this grade at Fairyhouse and taking the runner-up spot (1m4f, good); nudged up 1lb but if he can build on that latest run he's a player. |

13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Yet to strike form after four runs for new stable this year (1m-1m2f) and her only win was gained over 1m2f on heavy ground; continues to slip down the weights but drops back to 7f with quite a bit to prove. |
7/1 |
|
7th 8 (2) |
6th Jul 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Became disappointing for Marcus Tregoning last year and has been safely held on all three starts for Jim Goldie this season but continues to slip down the weights and will be favoured by the forecast rain; can't be written off just yet. |
10/1 |
|
6th 3 (2) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Not beaten far on either start for new stable this season, latterly when fourth of eight here (1m, good to firm) a month ago; will be suited by this move back up in trip and significant rain will make this heavy-ground winner of strong interest. |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 3f 218y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
1m2f might be his trip but this far is worth exploring and he went close at Lingfield last time (good) despite starting slowly; very at home on soft ground and has won here; respected. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 3 (6) |
18th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
This looks his optimal trip, having won over it at Doncaster in March, and should be happier back on turf having been unable to take his usual prominent position on the AW a fortnight ago; one of the likelier winners. |
4/1 |
|
6th 3 (4) |
4th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 5 |

Dual turf winner, the latest on his Doncaster reappearance (1m2f, good to soft) in March; up 4lb and a player if as effective on Polytrack. |

9th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |

Last win came in emphatic fashion over C&D (good to soft) in October 2024; still 6lb higher and he may just need this after 221 days off. |
12/1 |
|
12 (12) |
31st Oct 2025 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
2-19 overall, with both his wins in 2024 over 1m2f; three thirds from his five starts (all 1m2f) this season and he would have been close up at Leicester last time but for some interference, but he did not shape that day as if this shorter trip would suit. |

12th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
0-16 and not the most consistent but she has been placed in two of her three starts over C&D, while a repeat of her second of 11 in a 0-55 handicap at Southwell (1m3f, Tapeta) last month would give her a good chance. |
6/1 |

7th 8 (5) |
21st Jan 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

Yet to register a victory but she comes here on the back of a good second of 11 in 11f Southwell handicap 17 days ago; she can make her presence felt. |
3/1 |
|
3rd 11 (3) |
27th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
12-race maiden; has the ability to feature at this level but she tends to get going too late; better drawn today than when third over C&D last month. |
10/1 |
