2nd 4 (4) |
7th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Trailblazer who is not the force he once was, but was runner-up at Windsor (5f, good to firm) last month; should give his supporters a run for their money but vulnerable to a late closer. |
7/2 |
|
6th 8 (6) |
2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 34y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Twice a winner over C&D, including the corresponding event 12 months ago when rated 11lb higher; back to form when second at Windsor ten days ago, failing to hold the late thrust of Just Jump; his supporters should get a run for their money but he could just prove vulnerable late on. |
6/1 |

2nd 6 (6) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Returned to form when third off 5lb higher at Lingfield (5f, good to firm) in May; this 8yo has finished soundly beaten on both starts since but has been without cheekpieces, which return today and could be key. |

30th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 94y |
10st 2lb |
Three wins for George Boughey (two on AW); five outings for this yard provide little encouragement; however, now in 0-60 company for the first time (has won off 70) and may be competitive. |

12th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Has won four of his last seven starts and the latest defeat at Chelmsford was no backward step; however, his mark has taken a hit and this 9yo is returning from a lengthy break; fine on all ground. |
10/1 |
|
1st 5 (6) |
27th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Resurgent 8yo who has won three of his last five starts including a game success at Catterick (6f, good) last Saturday; only 2lb higher back on AW and he's a big player again in hat-trick bid. |
7/4 |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Won this race in 2022 as a 5yo; no sign of his enthusiasm waning this year, winning three 6f handicaps, and stepping back up in trip will suit after two good 5f efforts last month; chance. |
11/1 |
|
2nd 2 (6) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Ideally suited by an easy 6f or stiff 5f and knows how to win; turned in a solid effort at his beloved Sandown last weekend and remains reliable despite his age, but there's not much room for manoeuvre off this mark. |
5/1 |
|
4th 7 (3) |
12th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |

Multiple winner but went up 6lb for his 2l win at Haydock and that counted when fifth at Catterick; however, he does have a very solid record here. |

29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
0-7 but has claims on his best form for Eve Johnson Houghton including a close third in Bath handicap (5.7f, good to firm) last September; returns after 259 days off but he needs watching in market on stable debut; hood reapplied. |
10/1 |
|
4 (8) |
13th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 42y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
0-6 but he's finished placed in three of his four runs for current yard, including a close third off this mark at Bath (5.6f, good to firm) last month; that was a bold bid in a big field and he's respected back in trip. |
11/4 |
|
3rd 7 (6) |
30th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Runner-up in novice events at Doncaster (6f, good) and Windsor (5f, good to firm) with a hood for his new stable this summer; hood (absent again) removed for handicap debut when fifth at Sandown (5f, soft) 18 days ago; remains unexposed. |

6th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Poor effort last time will need forgiving but he's always been capable of the odd stinker; better drawn than for two runs here early in the year and it wouldn't be a shock to see him bounce back. |
14/1 |
|
9th 8 (8) |
12th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Only 1-14 but he's a strong traveller who only narrowly missed out at Lingfield (6f) and Goodwood (5f, good) before a midfield finish at Windsor where never really involved; has a big effort in him. |
15/2 |
|
5th 2 (3) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Record of 1-13 but he's been knocking on the door at Lingfield (6f, AW) and Goodwood (5f, good) this spring; up another 2lb but this strong traveller was only just caught last time and the first three pulled clear in that race; key player. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Eight of his 14 wins have come at Windsor and latest was a comfortable success over C&D (good to firm) three weeks ago; up 5lb but he still looks on a workable mark and has been in good form since April; big player. |
11/4 |
|
1st 3 (3) |
29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Seven of his 13 wins have come at Windsor and latest was over 5f (good) last month; finished well to snatch third at Bath (5.7f) and Sandown (5f) in his last two runs and he's strongly respected back up in trip. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 8 (2) |
12th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |

Loves Windsor where he beat Kiss And Run before finishing third at Bath; has won here but usually runs in Class 5s. |

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 |

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. |

28th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Took advantage of a good opportunity over C&D last month but came up short off higher marks twice since; conditions will be fine but others are more appealing. |
11/2 |
|
6 (11) |
14th Sep 2025 Heavy 0m 5f 160y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Beat a next-time-out winner when scoring at Ffos Las last month and probably didn't have an ideal track position when fourth at Sandown (also 5f, soft) on Friday; respected if she makes a quick reappearance here. |
5/1 |
|
12 (9) |
12th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Won the corresponding race 12 months ago off a 4lb higher mark; first success since when beating four rivals at Ffos Las two weeks ago (5f, soft); this is deeper but a 2lb rise is manageable; more appealing than most. |
