23rd Jun 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Consistent and probably a career-best to win after a break at Chepstow (5f, good to firm; fine on softer); only 2lb higher so has to be taken seriously. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 16y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Largely consistent 6yo who gained last season's win at Bath (5.7f, good to firm) in September; subsequent defeat on heavy ground there can be overlooked but he makes his reappearance from a fairly tough mark. |
10/1 |

8th 3 (5) |
20th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Improved his turf strike-rate to 7-26 when beating 13 rivals over C&D (good to firm) last month; that was a narrow success but he's been as good as ever since a visor has been added and is versatile ground-wise; big player again up 3lb. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
5f win here (good ground) last August and he added two AW victories to his tally in December; his last two runs have been disappointing, the latest back on turf after an absence, but the return of Saffie Osborne to the saddle could perk him up (two wins and a second from the three times she has ridden him). |

14th 9 (9) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Won two Class 6 handicaps on AW in December; not quite so good in either run this year and he returns to turf with a career-best required; Harry Vigors takes off a useful 7lb. |
20/1 |
|
7th 7 (1) |
20th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Doubled his tally when landing a C&D handicap in December and followed up at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) on his next start; respectable effort when stepped up to this grade there 32 days ago, but first-time the blinkers (replacing cheekpieces) need to bring out a bit more. |

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 |

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. |

Veteran who popped up at Newbury (6f, good to soft) in June; hasn't matched that in four runs since but is back down to that winning mark; still needs to turn the ship around. |

8th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Veteran who popped up in a Class 5 at Newbury in June (6f, good to soft); hasn't matched that in three runs since and although he's often run well here, he's yet to win at the track; minor money perhaps his best hope. |
16/1 |

25th Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 3y Class 5 |

Understandably not the force of old now a 10yo but he registered the ninth win of his long career when beating ten rivals at Newbury (6f, good to firm) in June; held in a couple of Class 4 events since but he's won here in the past and is not ruled out on this drop back in grade. |

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. |

Last of four wins came in July 2024, but has been runner-up twice over C&D this year, latest on firm ten days ago; likes to hear his feet rattle and if the ground is in his favour then he would come into this. |

1-1 at Windsor, thanks to a 6f handicap in 2024, and also scored at Wetherby (5.5f, good to firm) last June; overall strike-rate is 2-29 but usually thereabouts and each-way claims on this first start since leaving Ruth Carr. |

1st 5 (1) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Sole win came over a stiff 6f and she'll be happier back up in trip having lacked early toe at Windsor last time; yard won this last year, she's down to a career-low mark and sports first-time headgear under 5lb claimer Charlie Tucker; reasons for optimism. |

Just one win from her 17 starts and no return to form at Chepstow on her recent reappearance, while she might be best at 6f; however, she's 7lb lower than when going close here (6f) last August and is not written off. |

Still consistent but hasn't won in three years and isn't as good now; just a fair comeback effort over 5f here 12 days ago in second-time cheekpieces (has often worn a visor) but won't mind going back up in trip now he's had a run. |

5f winner here; she was involved in tight finishes at Bath (extended 5f; good to soft and heavy) last October and over 5f here in May but more often than not she tends to run out of steam over this trip. |

Back on the up following a wind op in May, placed at Bath and over C&D before making all in a small-field handicap at Lingfield (6f, good to firm) 19 days ago; a 4lb rise asks more of her but she should give another good account; stable also run So Smart. |

Well suited by undulating tracks and has come back to form since undergoing wind surgery; now 3lb below her last winning mark and Harry Vigors has plenty of experience for 5lb in this company; down in class and it's hard to find any negatives. |

Close third off this reduced mark at Brighton (6f, good to firm) last month and he can't be discounted; however, this 8yo has been inconsistent this season and was soundly beaten back at Brighton most recently. |
