18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
All three wins have been over 7f/1m on good/good to firm at Brighton; has finished second over 7f/1m there in blinkers on last three runs; each-way chance. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 2 (2) |
30th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Three wins over 7f/1m here; runner-up in his last two starts back at this venue including when beaten half a length by Dion Baker eight days ago; a 4lb pull plus Jack Callan's 3lb claim gives him every chance of reversing the form. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 2 (1) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Straightforward three-time course winner who looked like making it four (first-time blinkers, switched from cheekpieces) until nabbed late by Aim For The Bull late last month; in off the same mark and his claims are obvious back down in trip. |

16th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Five C&D wins include this race for the last two years; not particularly convincing on 2025 form but has a good chance off current mark provided he's back on song. |
14/1 |
|
6th 1 (10) |
7th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Five C&D wins, three of those in cheekpieces on soft; has struggled for form this season (0-6), making only minimal inroads from the rear at Epsom (7f; eighth of 12; 50-1) latest; competes from an easing mark. |
12/1 |
|
8th 12 (9) |
11th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Two C&D wins earlier in career; conditions have been against him during the hot summer but he won the two most recent soft-ground races he contested, over 7f at Brighton last autumn, so the more rain the better; yard has won the last four runnings. |

10th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Habitual front-runner; reeled in after going off a bit too hard over 1m at Brighton recently but won over 7f there (good to firm) two starts ago and has the ideal draw here; could take some catching. |
9/2 |
|
5th 5 (6) |
30th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Ran well when third of 12 on his reappearance over C&D this month (Rogue Dynasty second), but all six wins have come over 7f including when recording his fourth course success back here eight days ago, for which he has a 4lb penalty. |

16th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |

Inconsistent since winning off current mark over C&D in May; however, holds a fighting chance provided he takes well to new headgear and turns up in top form. |

6th 6 (7) |
13th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |

Won a 7f handicap at Brighton in May off 1lb lower; back to form when second at Chelmsford 16 days ago (7f); runs off the same mark and shouldn't be far away. |

4th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Recorded the 18th win of his long career when leading late over C&D in February (for Myla Coppins); ran well behind a thriving rival at Lingfield next time but he failed to fire over C&D a fortnight ago (finished behind Coloane); he has bounced back from quiet runs before so can't be ruled out. |
6/1 |
|
8th 7 (7) |
20th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
18th success of his long career when getting the better of Antiquity (winner since and runs in the 6.00) over C&D last month; bumped into an in-form opponent at Lingfield two weeks ago (7f; blinkered first time); another 2lb rise is not ideal but he is likely to give his running. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 2 (4) |
5th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Well into the veteran stage but he retains plenty of enthusiasm and ran on well to beat a subsequent winner (Age Of Time third) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) three weeks ago, his 18th success; a 2lb rise not excessive but late in the day to be giving blinkers a go (has run well in new headgear before). |

30th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Four wins over 6f/7f here; just 2lb above his last winning mark but well held in both starts since returning last month, including when behind three of these over C&D eight days ago; more needed; stable also runs Jackson Street. |
16/1 |

7th 4 (9) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Not as consistent in recent times but rarely fails to give her running round here; little room for manoeuvre off this mark but a good test back down in trip will be fine and she holds each-way claims. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 8y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Has won off higher marks in the past but not the force of old; drops back to the minimum trip for the first time since March 2024 and she looks vulnerable to younger rivals. |
11/2 |
|
5th 4 (3) |
30th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Dual course winner (5f/6f) who remains just 1lb above her last winning mark; 0-11 over this trip and further, though, so others seem more likely. |
6/1 |

5th 4 (10) |
29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Fared well from low draws at this track last year, including for two wins, and she's been close up at other tracks on two of her four starts this year; drawn high this time but has to be seriously considered. |

8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |

Has seven wins and usually at his peak in the summer months but below his best at Bath on his last two starts; others preferred. |
25/1 |
|
8th 7 (7) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Dual C&D winner who traditionally peaks in the summer; showed enough in three runs over 1m round Bath in the spring to suggest he's still up to winning at this level if he gets one of his better starts and the race pans out his way. |
20/1 |
|
9th 12 (10) |
22nd May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
All of his seven wins have been over shorter trips but he produced a strong finish when a 2l second over C&D (good) 18 days ago; on unchanged mark and has possibilities if he can find some extra spark. |

8th 3 (11) |
25th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

Four-time winner for Harry Eustace, the latest at Brighton (7f, good) last August; not ruled out on her seasonal and stable debut (remains in same ownership) but she'll need to be at the very top of her game. |

16th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |

8st 13lb |
Couple of 6f wins at Brighton last term; proved resurgent over C&D (good to soft) last week, going down by only a whisker; now 2lb lower and due to go back up 6lb in future; leading player. |
7/2 |

2nd 9 (1) |
7th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Won twice here (6f) last year but on a downward trajectory since then; shaped okay here (fifth) on return from a 266-day absence in early September but his more recent AW efforts (6f-7f) have failed to offer further encouragement. |

Suited by 7f on turf, winning at Leicester in July and running some good races in defeat since; unexposed on the AW, having raced in only one handicap on sand, but she needs plenty more than when well held at Chelmsford in September now back on Tapeta. |

Regressive maiden (5f-7f) who's been tried in two forms of headgear; runs in his first classified, he usually over-races and can miss the kick, so will never come without risk. |

0-18, with his solitary second over 7f on soft; ended 2025 with two respectable thirds in October, including over 7f here on good to firm, but first time out has seen two of his best shows, so he needs a second look today. |

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. |
