14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Wide-margin turf win in April flanked by two AW defeats as favourite; perhaps the return to turf will help but he is creeping back up the weights. |
6/1 |

5th 1 (1) |
1st May 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Began his 3yo campaign with a BHA mark of 93; a lot of water has flowed under the bridge since but he has bounced back to form for Adam Kirby, finishing second at Chelmsford in March (7f) before an easy win at Yarmouth ten days ago (6f, good to firm); 3lb well in under a penalty; obvious chance. |

21st Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
A fairly useful 7f winner at his best; gambled on for his new yard and and shaped well when second of 11 in 7f Chelmsford handicap 26 days ago, just edged out having been set plenty to do; up 3lb but he can make amends with cheekpieces refitted. |

23rd Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 215y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
On a good mark and this is weaker than the races he has contested on his last three starts; a well-run 6f shouldn't be a problem and he is a key player despite his wide stall. |

5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 216y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Three-time AW winner who has made the frame four times on turf this summer (6f-7.6f); disappointed on latest outing, having been restless in the stalls, but his current mark is workable and he'll be fine over today's trip. |

12th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
5-21 on AW compared to 0-11 on grass; struggled off his lower turf mark at Epsom four weeks ago but he had reappeared with a creditable effort here previously and his last success was over C&D; could be dangerous if he gets a good pace and some luck. |
14/1 |

7th 2 (1) |
16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 113y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
5-21 on AW compared to 0-10 on turf and he's been well beaten in his two races here; turf mark is 12lb below AW figure and he should have come on since his recent, creditable reappearance, but others are more persuasive. |
7/1 |
|
4th 6 (8) |
2nd Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Ran well over C&D last October and he was well backed when winning over 7f back here five days later; below his best at Chelmsford one day later; history doesn't suggest coming back from a break is the time to catch him. |

27th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Retains plenty of vitality despite his advancing years; however, form dipped last time when bidding for a Chelmsford double; gained the most recent win in a lower grade. |
14/1 |

16th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Triple C&D winner who took advantage of a reduced mark when coming from rear to score at Brighton (7f, good) in August; remains well treated on old form but his spark was missing at Kempton last time and he needs to step up again after that. |

15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
It was a fourth AW success when scoring at Lingfield (7f) last Tuesday, but he knows how to get it done on turf too and his previous second of six over C&D (good to firm) was a creditable effort; has won off this mark and Billy Loughnane takes over; player. |
2/1 |
|
1st 2 (5) |
4th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Trainer has won with his last three runners and has a good course record with older horses (10-35); this 5yo is 3-3 round here, is fairly treated, in form and won't be hurt by going back into a bigger field as a hold-up runner; leading player. |
9/4 |

2nd 2 (1) |
17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Last win came at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm) in May 2025; has slipped to a dangerous mark and any market support should be noted. |

23rd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Returned to form to win over here over 7f a week ago, beating six rivals; a 5lb penalty still leaves him on a handy mark based on last year's form and he's relatively unexposed on the AW; contender with the step back up to 1m no concern. |
3/1 |
|
6 (5) |
16th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
On a reduced mark but he's been well held in his last five runs and is now 0-17 since his last win in August 2024; withdrawn after refusing to enter the stalls at Kempton last week, but he was 7-2 at the time. |
11/2 |
|
5 (3) |
10th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
On a reduced mark but he's not been on top form in 2025; drops back down in grade today but others are more appealing for win purposes. |

3rd 9 (8) |
5th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
He's not consistent but he won over C&D last November and ran really well when second of 18 at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) three weeks ago; major player if he's once more on song. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 10 (16) |
14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 213y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Has gained all wins at shorter, including three times off higher marks at Doncaster; however, not disgraced over 8.5f last time and enters calculations back here. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 3 (8) |
27th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Should be making a big impact at this level and he is 1lb lower than for his Southwell win (7f) in November; still to convince he wants this far though. |
