25th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
C&D winner, who was beaten by a short-head on only other visit (6f) to Newcastle; won off this mark at Wolverhampton (7f) last October, but his last two efforts were low key - last of nine at Goodwood latest; first-time headgear needs to have a reviving effect. |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
The winner of two 7f handicaps on the AW and has shown he can threaten off this mark; last run was disappointing but could bounce back, and no doubt a better horse now than when last seen on turf. |

7th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Held on to win by a short head at Wolverhampton (7f) in October and went close at Newcastle (6f) next time; gelded prior to finishing fourth of 12 here over 6f on his reappearance and now steps back up to 7f; contender. |

16th Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |

Poor debut for his new trainer on soft ground ten days ago; went close here for his previous yard last autumn but has never been quite this far and is hard to recommend. |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 16y Class 4 |

Gained a first win at Lingfield (1m) in February but he ended his time with William Muir and Chris Grassick with a below-par seventh in 1m Southwell handicap in April; since changed hands for 7,000gns and needs to bounce back for new trainer. |

9st 0lb |
Ten-race maiden who was always behind on turf at Windsor on seasonal debut; however, she had several bits of AW form last year (at up to 8.6f, most of it here) which put her in the hunt for this prize. |

25th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Failed to match form of last month's C&D run when down the field at Southwell last time; return to this track should suit and isn't without a chance in an open event. |

7th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Twice-raced filly who went close at Wolverhampton (upped to 7f) last time; recorded only a modest RPR but may be capable of the necessary further progress. |

20th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |

6th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Can lead; came to the end of his tether over 7f on soft ground here recently and he's more favourably treated now than when close up over 6f at Hamilton (good) in May; does need a bit more for a first win, though. |
6/1 |

1st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Consistent enough this year but he will need to raise his game a notch if he is to come out on top in this field. |

3rd 9 (10) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |

Regularly makes the frame, third over 5.5f at Wetherby on latest start; however, he looks fully exposed and a wide draw may not be ideal. |

27th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Ended 2025 with a pair of Class 6 wins on AW (7f/6f); his progress has continued back on turf, making all in 6f handicaps at Redcar and Doncaster; another 5lb higher today and also steps up into a Class 4 but he is still more appealing than many. |

1st 7 (5) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 2y Class 5 |

Appreciated the drop in class back on turf when well supported at Redcar last month (6f, good to firm; made all); up 4lb and this is stronger but he enters the equation. |

20th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |

Got off the mark at Newcastle (6f, AW) in December but 9lb hike looks to have dented his progress judged on his two runs since. |

3rd Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |

Her two best efforts came over 7f and she is still to convince over 1m; cheekpieces added for first time; others appeal more for win purposes. |

4th 3 (6) |
14th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |

0-9 but she has run some fair races in defeat; finished behind Chinchin at Chelmsford 12 days ago, however, and she needs to raise her game. |

25th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

Reasonable effort back over 7f at Chelmsford on latest start but she'll have to be at the top of her game to win this from stall 11. |

25th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

Has been running respectably in nurseries and now drops back in distance; vulnerable to anything progressive but should give another good account from low draw. |

15th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Kept on for third on nursery debut at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) last month and suited by the step up in trip when second there (8.6f) last time, when clear of the third; thereabouts if the return to turf isn't an issue. |
9/1 |

2nd 7 (4) |
4th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |

Too Darn Hot colt who is out of 1m/8.5f winner; no impact in four runs so far but he made some late headway when third on nursery debut here (7f) 12 days ago; that was eyecatching and he looks interesting on this step up in trip. |

25th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

Placed on each of three starts, most recently over this C&D (fourth won next time); blinkers fitted for handicap debut but could have been better drawn. |

3rd 2 (2) |
20th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Has shown some ability with his couple of third-place finishes at Epsom (7f); may show improvement switched to this sphere, being a brother to a triple AW winner; interesting contender. |
5/1 |
|
2 (3) |
25th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
15,000gns yearling; ran well for a long way when third of six on C&D debut (good to soft) last month, but he has plenty to find in this stronger race and could be one for further down the line. |
