23rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Usually consistent, but her modest effort at Goodwood (2m, soft) last time was disappointing given she does handle any ground; needs to bounce back from that. |
5/1 |

4th 6 (1) |
7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
10-58 overall for this 9yo, with none of those races at this track; can make the running; won at Ffos Las (2m, heavy) last September (by 12l) and Nottingham (1m6f, good) this May; not far away when third of four at Lingfield 12 days ago in hat-trick bid and has an each-way chance. |
9/1 |

3rd 4 (1) |
26th May 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Course winner (2m) who bids a for hat-trick after wins at Ffos Las (2m, heavy) last September (by 12l) and on her Nottingham return under Donagh Murphy (1m6f, good) 17 days ago; only 2lb higher and much respected. |

2nd 3 (7) |
7th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 5y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Was having his second start for the yard and first since wind surgery when fifth of 11 at Newcastle (1m4f, AW) five weeks ago; 2lb lower than when winning at Ffos Las (2m, good to soft; first-time cheekpieces) last August and worth a second look, especially if backed. |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Won over 2m at Ffos Las for Jedd O'Keeffe last August (good to soft; awarded race by the stewards) and some fair efforts after that; not done as well since (tailed off over hurdles last time) and has been well beaten all three AW runs; back after wind surgery. |

3rd 7 (11) |
30th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Veteran who's done a lot of his winning in the summer and always liked it round here; back in form over hurdles last time and is 2lb lower than when going in here last July, so he needs a second look. |
7/1 |
|
1st 8 |
3rd Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Not the easiest to predict and well held on both starts on the AW since finishing a good second over hurdles at Chepstow (2m, good to soft) in March, ridden by Harry Atkins who can claim his 5lb allowance here; will not mind any rain and not out of this if in the mood, with one of his two hurdling wins coming over C&D. |

26th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 16y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Stayed on for very respectable fourth at Hereford (2m3f, good) this month, his second run in a visor, but is yet to be placed after 11 hurdling starts and needs to find something extra today. |
13/2 |
|
4th 8 |
7th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 147y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Respectable fifth in similar races at Taunton and Chepstow last month but has yet to place over hurdles after ten attempts. |
12/1 |

21st Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Didn't run badly when fifth on heavy ground at Taunton (2m3f) last week but he's 0-9 over hurdles now and needs to be perked up by a change of headgear today. |

18th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 68y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Veteran who's been sharply on the downgrade in recent times, coming 22lb down the weights in the past year; a long time since he wore headgear, which is likely fitted more in hope than expectation. |
20/1 |
|
6th 8 (4) |
4th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 5 |
8st 7lb |
Veteran who is 1-29 on the Flat and has completely lost his way, including when last of nine (behind two of these) over C&D four weeks ago; opposable from 1lb wrong. |

2nd 6 |
25th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 1f 77y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Placed lots of times over hurdles but won only once in 24 attempts; hasn't been close to his best this season and he's not bred for fences. |
16/1 |
|
4th 5 |
4th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 188y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Just 1-23 over hurdles, the win gained in 2023; out of form at around 2m this season but this longer trip might suit him better now and he has slipped to a very good mark; worth a glance in the betting. |

10th Jun 2026 Good 1m 6f 17y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Both wins on turf have been at Ffos Las (1m6f/2m; good to soft/good); now 2lb lower than that latest success and returned from a break with a solid effort at Southwell (2m, AW) 34 days ago; claims. |
4/1 |
|
4th 3 (8) |
7th May 2026 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won twice at Ffos Las last year but he's scored on AW on four occasions, including first time out in 2024; absent since a heavy defeat at Newbury (1m4f, soft) in October but is back on a workable mark for his reappearance. |
12/1 |
