6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 3y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Won by 4l last Saturday to complete a Lingfield turf double; raised a whopping 12lb but is still well treated on best form, which includes close second (off 4lb higher) in this contest in 2025; fighting chance. |
14/1 |

1st 1 (6) |
30th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Ex-Irish 7yo who had a much higher mark this time last year; well backed all day and on course when winning over C&D 12 days ago, and there's every chance he can defy a 3lb rise under Ashley Lewis, who has plenty of experience for his 3lb claim in this company. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Both wins have been over 6f, the most recent at Salisbury (good) in October off a 1lb lower mark than today's, but he went over today's trip at Goodwood (soft) last month; likely has quicker ground conditions today but has good claims. |
2/1 |

2nd 1 (4) |
7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
His two wins have come over 6f but he is fully effective over this extra furlong; back to his last winning mark and he will be a danger to all if the ground is suitable (well beaten in one run on slower than good). |

24th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
His progress looked to have stalled after winning at Chester in July but he was back to his best when third at Goodwood 12 days ago, not really getting a clear run at things until it was too late; runs off the same mark here but he will have to prove himself on soft ground. |
8/1 |

12th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Down the field at Doncaster four weeks ago but that was his first attempt at 7f and it was in a more competitive race than this; he had a 3-8 strike-rate previously (including 6f wins on good/good to soft) and this 3yo could bounce back with a bold show for his top yard. |
6/1 |
|
13th 8 (8) |
14th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 2 |

Strike-rate of 3-8, with one of those wins on good to soft; endured a wide trip when placed at Chester last time but was beaten 4l and whether he wants 7f remains to be seen (confined to sprinting thus far). |

Still seeking first win on turf but has posted two encouraging efforts this term, going close in first-time cheekpieces at Goodwood latest; possibilities in the retained headgear. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 8 (7) |
7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Better on AW than turf but handicapped accordingly and he ran his best race on grass when third of seven at Windsor 13 days ago (good to firm); down the field in two runs on soft but his Ayr Silver Cup effort wasn't too bad; new cheekpieces could give him a lift. |
6/1 |

3rd 6 (5) |
25th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |

Possibly unsuited by soft ground in last two appearances, taking turf record to 0-5; has shown some promise otherwise on grass and remains well treated on AW form (mark in that sphere is 8lb higher). |

10st 2lb |
Veteran who still retains most of his ability and gave a good account when keeping-on second of 21 at York (6f, good) last month; still only 1lb higher than for C&D (heavy) win in October and will be favoured by any rain. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

7th 22 (18) |
13th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

10yo who may prefer slow ground but the going was good when he was fourth of 21 in this in 2024; often runs well here and he reappeared with a creditable fourth of 19 at Doncaster (6f, good to soft) in March; each-way possible. |

12th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |

27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

Reliable operator on AW and after wins at Chelmsford and Wolverhampton he found only Tuco Salamanca too strong in his hat-trick bid in March; better off with that rival today but not sure he's quite so progressive. |
16/1 |
|
2nd 3 (3) |
28th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
2-2 this year, winning 6f handicaps at Chelmsford in January and at Wolverhampton three weeks ago; 6lb rise for latest success takes him to a career-high mark but he is well drawn and should give it another good go. |
6/1 |
|
1st 5 (4) |
7th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Running in this race for the third time, having finished second in 2024 and fourth last year; those runs were after a break but he has the benefit of a run this time around, winning a 6f handicap at Chelmsford five weeks ago; still on a feasible mark and he is a key player for a stable going well. |

The addition of blinkers saw him take a good step forward when comfortably seeing off 17 rivals at Newbury (6f, soft) last October; absent until Derby day three weeks ago where he was never a threat; the blinkers now return and dangerous to underestimate him. |
14/1 |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 3y Class 2 |

Has a record of 2-7 over C&D (both wins on good to firm) and although not in quite the same form this year as she was last summer, such as when going close off 13lb higher on this track, she wasn't far away back here two starts ago; no surprise to see her go well. |

24th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Won his first three handicaps, all over 6f on good ground or quicker; couldn't complete the four-timer in a warm 3yo sprint at York in June, but he travelled well through that race and doubt he's handicapped out of things just yet; suitability of soft ground has to be taken on trust but he remains of interest for a top stable. |
13/2 |
|
7th 18 (15) |
14th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 6lb |
Modest form as a 2yo but he's taken off in handicaps this year, winning by a wide margin at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm) in April and following up at Haydock four days later; another step up the ladder when comfortably seeing off his ten rivals back at Haydock (again 6f on good) three weeks ago; a 4lb rise looks lenient and he's high on the list now upped in class. |
11/2 |

4 (5) |
24th May 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Major improvement when winning by 4l on handicap/seasonal debut at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm) last month and he followed up over this C&D (good) four days later; had just a neck to spare last time and is 6lb higher today, but this well-bred colt could have more left in the tank for his top yard. |

Off the mark at the 11th attempt when landing a Chepstow maiden (6f, soft) in September but that was a golden opportunity and he struggled back in a handicap in his final run last season; drops back in grade on his return but he has a patchy profile and others are more convincing. |

1st Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |

Back to his best last year and his reappearance second of 13 at Pontefract (5f) in April sent his mark to new heights; hasn't matched that in three starts since but last time's fifth of ten from the widest stall at Chester (6f, also good to soft; not clear run) suggests this mark isn't beyond him; in the picture. |
