3rd 6 (2) |
15th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Thriving at present, winning five of his last six starts, including one over this C&D; those wins have all been in Class 6 company and he is now up in grade under a 4lb penalty (6lb well in) for last week's Brighton win but there's a chance he could get his own way in front. |
7/2 |
|
1st 1 (3) |
7th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
10st 4lb |
Is in cracking form at present, winning four of his last five starts, two of which have been over C&D; saddled with a 4lb penalty for his win at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm) last Thursday, this trailblazer will take some catching. |
11/4 |

1st 3 (5) |
2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 6 |

Front-runner who is thriving at present and won three of his last four starts, two of them over 7f at Brighton and the other at Bath over 5.5f; ran another solid race at the former track on Tuesday and can go well again. |

28th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
He was winning for the 13th time when seeing off eight rivals over C&D last month; backed it up with a close second at Lingfield 24 days ago; more appealing than many. |
100/30 |
|
2nd 5 (3) |
4th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Three C&D wins but perhaps even more effective on Tapeta; had the benefit of Jack Callan's claim when successful at Wolverhampton (7f) last month and although back up 3lb he's perfectly capable of finding another race off this mark. |

17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Can miss the break but she won this race last year off 10lb lower and swiftly got over a Chester aberration when second of 11 here (1m, good to firm) under Arron D'Arcy four weeks ago; a player. |
5/2 |
|
2nd 4 (3) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Three turf wins include a 20-1 7f success when tongue tied here (good) last July; posted a cracking return from a break when 33-1 and second of 16 at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) in April but it all went pear-shaped at Chester last Friday; has won at 1m before but last year's efforts over this trip weren't overly convincing. |
16/1 |
|
11th 10 (2) |
12th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
3-15 on turf; beaten 1l in 16-runner handicap at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) when last seen in April; would hold claims if she can build on that effort. |

25th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Six-time winner (6f/7f), including when coming out on top in a match race under Joe Bradnam at Yarmouth (7f, soft) two weeks ago; has form on the AW over 1m but a 5lb rise for that latest success demands a bit more. |
7/2 |
|
1st 3 (6) |
11th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Four of his five wins have come over 6f/7f on the AW, but the other came in emphatic fashion here (6f, good to firm) a year ago; probably ran even better than it looked when third of ten at Lingfield (7f, good) last month and a major player for last year's winning stable. |
100/30 |
|
3rd 4 (2) |
19th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Has won on turf but four of his five wins have been on AW; it may be best to wait until he returns to AW. |

1st Jul 2026 Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Bought cheaply by current connections (was trained by Jack Jones) and made the frame when starting out for them over C&D 18 days ago (off a break; wore hood and tongue-tie together for the first time; headgear retained here); this is tougher. |
20/1 |
|
4th 2 (6) |
13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Got up late to win a 7f AW handicap for Jack Jones in January; only 1lb higher today and her new trainer is quick to fit a tongue-tie. |
14/1 |
|
8th 10 (2) |
31st Jan 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Finished strongly and got up in the final strides over C&D at the start of the month, her first win at the 13th attempt; ruined her chance by hanging left back here since; a first-time hood is reached for after that. |

18th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Both wins were in late 2022 and he has been looking regressive this year; wouldn't be the obvious answer after nearly three months off. |
8/1 |
|
6 (13) |
27th Jun 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
His last win was over C&D but that was in a novice in December 2022; very well treated on old form but he's faded in his five runs this year and was beaten 15l at Chepstow (7-2) last time; had a difficult track position in that race but he needs a big turnaround back in trip. |
9/1 |
|
12th 2 (2) |
30th May 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
No win since late 2022; has dropped in the weights and his reappearance effort at Doncaster wasn't a bad run but he failed to build on it at Salisbury a fortnight ago; others appeal more. |

18th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Best of three AW runs for Jane Chapple-Hyam was the fifth of nine over 7f at Wolverhampton; makes handicap/stable debut after a lengthy break and probably best watched. |
14/1 |

7th 5 (9) |
15th Jan 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

7th 5 (9) |
15th Jan 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
Good step forward from debut effort when fifth at Wolverhampton last month but she has ground to make up on Mehmas Shy Angel and probably needs this further rise in trip to extract more. |

21st Jun 2026 Good 1m 3f 198y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Signed off for Ed Dunlop with respectable fifth of 15 at Nottingham (8.3f, good; visored) in April but was always behind on recent stable debut (1m, AW; no headgear) and it's hard to know what to expect from her over this new trip; blinkers refitted. |
12/1 |

9th 10 (2) |
1st Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |

Hold-up filly whose win for Ed Dunlop, from whom she was picked up in April for 7,500gns, came on Tapeta; become hard to predict and there's no sign of the usual headgear back from a short break. |
12/1 |
|
5th 14 (9) |
8th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Hold-up filly who went close at Wolverhampton (8.6f) on her penultimate run but she didn't fire there last time; still lightly raced on turf but she's not easy to predict and needs to bounce back again after that last run; switch of headgear. |

17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
Made the breakthrough at Chelmsford in December and nearly doubled up at Lingfield (also 7f, AW) that month; way off that when last seen in January though and would become of interest only with market support on this comeback. |
14/1 |

9th 9 (6) |
22nd Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Below par in visor last time but could go well with blinkers refitted; three attempts in this headgear, all in December, featured a win at Chelmsford and close second at Lingfield. |
