1st 8 (4) |
29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Four wins include one over C&D (good) in May 2024; hasn't scored since August of that year but he's now 20lb lower and latest fourth of 13 at Doncaster (7f, good to soft) was a solid effort despite hanging; should enhance creditable Brighton form figures of 21424. |
4/1 |

4th 13 (3) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
0-30 on AW but he's won four times on turf (7f); struggled during the winter but he returned to this scene with a respectable effort at Yarmouth (6f, good) last month; should benefit from that run and he's in the mix on this step back up in trip; cheekpieces reapplied. |

8th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Winner of ten races on the AW including three over C&D; still 1lb below his last winning mark and recent efforts suggest he remains capable of playing a part. |
6/1 |

4th 5 (5) |
28th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Ten-time AW winner; just a respectable fifth at Wolverhampton (7f) this month but remains on a workable mark and can't be ignored. |

2nd 1 (14) |
24th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Can miss the break but scored twice last year, a 20-1 win at Newmarket (good to firm) in July supplemented by a Yarmouth (also 7f, good to soft) success in September; never dangerous on AW return in February but might do better this time. |
20/1 |

7th 6 (9) |
6th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Three wins on turf; 0-7 on AW and often slowly away but is difficult to dismiss, having posted an encouraging effort over C&D most recently; Jack Dace takes off a handy 5lb. |
8/1 |
|
3 (8) |
22nd Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Seen to advantage (sat off the strong pace) when producing career win number three (second at Yarmouth) 34 days ago (7f); she stays this far but it's doubtful things will pan out as favourably and a 6lb rise is tough. |

19th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

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. |
13/2 |

8th 3 (7) |
15th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Gained his third course win when making all over C&D 83 days ago, clinging on at the line; only 1lb higher on his first start since and makes the shortlist. |

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. |
7/1 |

7th 9 (3) |
29th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

Nine-race maiden; has shown some promise for her new stable but she will need to raise her game now tongue tied for the first time; stepping back up to 7f may help too. |

18th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 6 |

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 |

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. |

1st Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
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. |
