5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Three-time course winner who has finished second four consecutive (twice over C&D on good to firm) since swapping cheekpieces for blinkers in May; likely to be right in the thick of things again. |
15/8 |
|
2nd 8 (6) |
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. |

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. |

23rd Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 4 |
8st 8lb |
Four C&D wins to his name, the latest in June off 4lb lower; an easy lead would seem unlikely and this opposition may prove too demanding. |
16/1 |
|
8th 3 (4) |
14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Front-runner who is probably best known for his exploits at Brighton; won there (7f, good to firm) in June and was placed from favourable draw at Chester (7f, good) last month but finished well down the field when last in action and might find others better treated. |
10/1 |
|
11th 12 (8) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Likes to get on with it and he registered the latest of his six wins when making all in five-runner Brighton handicap (7f, good to firm) last month; went off too quickly next time but his third at Chester was a solid effort two weeks ago; same mark and this is tougher, though. |

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. |
16/1 |

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. |

2nd Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |

16th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |

Multiple winner elsewhere and he's 0-4 here; only 2lb higher than for his recent win at Salisbury but his latest run there was disappointing, for all that it was in a Class 5. |
16/1 |
|
5th 6 (2) |
13th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Eight-time winner who likes it here, as evidenced by him winning an amateur riders' handicap (7f) for the second year in succession last time; stays this trip and has to enter calculations. |
4/1 |

1st 4 (10) |

1st Sep 2026 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |

Nicely bred and a four-time winner at 7f/1m, with three of those wins here; has a bit to prove on the stamina front but has performed respectably in two races since cheekpieces went on. |
13/2 |
|
4th 5 (4) |
14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
A fair 7f scorer for Harry Eustace last August; yet to show that form for her current handler but she wasn't disgraced with fourth of six in 7f classified event here 12 days ago; not out of things. |
10/1 |

4th 3 (1) |
2nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 6 |

Bettered low-key seasonal/stable debut when fourth in Brighton handicap in June but finished down the field in this grade at Lingfield (also 7f, good to firm) last month; now tries cheekpieces; not easy to predict. |

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. |

11th 12 (1) |

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. |

7th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Can miss the break and/or pull hard but everything panned out when finally winning in a C&D 0-50 classified event a month ago; said to have been suited by being ridden more prominently that day and this no tougher if he can reproduce the effort. |

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. |

One win in 19 starts came in a handicap at Chelmsford (7f, Polytrack; first-time blinkers) in December and only went down narrowly over this C&D later in month; not at her best in her last two starts, but this drop in grade gives her a chance. |

Yet to win on turf, but was a creditable third to an in-form rival at Newmarket when back from a break last month (7f, good to firm); didn't fare as well over 1m at Yarmouth last week (good to firm). |
