9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 113y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Returned to form with second in amateur riders' race at Brighton (1m, good to firm) last month and is still on a good mark but has become far too inconsistent to rely upon, and his habit of starting slowly is another worry. |
7/1 |

2nd 2 (3) |
21st Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Three-time winner last year at a mile but slow starts have become a habit and was tailed off last time despite racing prominently. |

14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Did well last year (three wins; one over C&D) but is yet to strike form after three starts this season and slow starts have become a serious issue; goes without usual blinkers today; comes with risk. |

1st Jul 2026 Good 1m 2f 17y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
Five-time winner who has been placed in half of his six visits here, including when third in this race in 2024; carries a 5lb penalty for winning at Brighton (1m2f, good to firm) ten days ago but Toby Moore's 7lb claim will aid his bid to go back-to-back; considered. |
4/1 |
|
1st 1 (3) |
21st Jun 2026 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Goes on any ground; all his handicap wins have been here over 1m (seems to stay 1m2f), the latest in October off this mark; down the field in both races this year but those were after lengthy breaks; hard to dismiss. |
13/2 |
|
6th 6 (1) |
29th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 198y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Three wins here (1m, good to firm), most recently in October, immediately raise interest and he stuck at it when third over 1m2f on his final start of last term; quiet reappearance in February probably best ignored and he's worth another go at this trip (tried once two years ago); respected. |

13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Has a better strike-rate on AW than turf and remains on a career-high mark, so seems up against it; however, consistent record (12233) at Windsor includes a good effort (neck second) in this contest last year; solid contender back here. |
5/1 |
|
6th 7 (3) |
10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Steadily progressive since handicapping and it was a personal best when landing 9.5f AW handicap in April; back on turf with solid third of ten off this career-high mark at Windsor (1m, good to firm) one month later and he may still be capable of better. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 10 (5) |
25th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 3 |
8st 9lb |
Prevailed by a neck at Wolverhampton (9.5f) last time for a fifth AW win; upped in grade but receives weight all round and is a solid contender, with C&D form figures reading 1223. |

21st Mar 2026 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Disappointing filly who was soundly beaten over 1m on her first two appearances this year; not bred to benefit from this big hike up in trip, and could be considered only if lively in the betting. |
50/1 |
|
8th 11 (7) |
18th Feb 2026 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
Won a maiden at Epsom (7f, good to soft) on her debut in July 2024 but she never threatened in three starts last year and last month's Chelmsford return didn't point to a revival either. |
20/1 |

6th 5 (6) |

10/1 |
|
5 (11) |
29th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Has struggled on his last three starts but always a force to be reckoned with at this track having registered an eighth win here on his last visit in August (1m, good; ridden by Oliver Carmichael); only 2lb higher. |

13th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
First crack at sprinting when winning a Polytrack maiden three months ago (effort well advertised since); stiffer 6f should suit on his return to turf (stays 1m) but it's doubtful he's suddenly improved and he's back to handicap company on a career-high mark. |
4/1 |

1 (5) |
16th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Low-mileage maiden who has a few pieces of placed form; good second over C&D (good to firm) most recently, suggesting there may well be a race of this nature in him. |
9/2 |

6 (8) |
29th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 5 |

25th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
7f winner at Brighton in spring but soundly beaten on last two starts and she has something to prove back on AW. |
16/1 |
|
7 (3) |
29th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Unraced at 1m and ran poorly on final appearance in June (6f); take away that effort and she had done well in 7f handicaps, beating three rivals here and then close up at Salisbury in a race that's worked out; also goes well fresh. |
15/2 |
|
10th 5 (10) |
21st Jun 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Better since handicapping on turf, improving a touch on her small-field Brighton win when a close third in a Salisbury handicap that's working out well; no issues with 7f, though, and needs more again back down to sprinting. |

7th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Sole success came here in 1m maiden in 2024 when trained by Hughie Morrison; has been below his best for current yard this year and although his mark continues to fall he doesn't look a betting proposition at present. |
25/1 |
|
6th 3 (5) |
29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won a 2yo course maiden (good to soft) in 2024 but flopped on his return visit when favourite for a handicap (also 1m, good to firm; first-time blinkers) last September; left Hughie Morrison after another lesser effort and that pattern has continued in three starts for this yard; hopes probably pinned on this drop back in trip. |
25/1 |
|
8th 6 (1) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Bettered inauspicious seasonal/stable debut when a fairly respectable fifth of seven at Chelmsford (1m) last month but needs to do better again here; others have more pressing claims. |

Won three times over 1m here last summer and 5lb lower than for the most recent; hasn't threatened in her last five starts, though, and another furlong would be preferable. |

6th 13 (6) |
14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |

7th 6 (2) |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 113y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Consistent 4yo who won over C&D (good) last summer and came from off the pace to double his tally at Brighton (1m, good) last month; probably doesn't have much margin for error off new mark but ought to be on the premises. |
5/1 |
|
1st 10 (12) |
9th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 216y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Still 5lb higher than for his sole success, at Epsom (8.5f, good) last August, but has made the frame in all eight outings since; that reliability counts for plenty in this field. |
8/1 |
|
4th 5 (9) |
1st Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Epsom winner last August for regular partner Donagh Murphy off a 5lb lower mark; fair comeback over C&D behind Buy The Dip in April (6lb better off today) but didn't build on that back on turf a fortnight ago. |
