27th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Lightly raced 4yo; ran encouragingly over 6f on stable/seasonal debut at Newmarket and failed to get home when beaten favourite over 7f since; possibilities off current mark dropped in class and back down in distance; cheekpieces join a first-time tongue-tie. |

1st Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Has extended his losing sequence in three attempts for new yard but is interesting off current mark back at Lingfield, assuming he takes well to added blinkers; three-time course winner (AW/turf). |
9/4 |

11th 10 (5) |
20th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Has a course win (5f) amongst his seven wins but the latest was back in May 2025; two respectable turf runs for Des Donovan and he's one to consider. |

4th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Seven-time AW winner and his last success was over C&D last October; should be on a perfectly good mark but hasn't been in the best of form. |
12/1 |
|
7th 2 (10) |
13th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Seven-time AW winner and his last success was over 6f here last October; now 2lb lower than for that win but has a mixed record since and was never involved at Wolverhampton last Monday; comes with risks attached and he needs to raise his game back up in trip; cheekpieces reapplied. |
9/1 |

5th 9 (9) |
6th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Enjoyed a purple patch in 2024 when winning six times; landed his third win over C&D last August off this mark; handicapper has given him a chance after two defeats last month; should run well. |

1st Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
C&D record of 13132141 includes wins in this race last year and most recent AW attempt, latter off current mark in March; ran poorly in last two turf starts but commands respect back in this scenario. |
5/1 |

8th 9 (7) |
23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
4-13 on AW but 0-11 on turf; had soft ground as an excuse last time, though, and has each-way claims at least if judged on her second at Windsor (6f, good to firm) in May. |

26th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Won twice at Brighton in the second half of 2025; ended that campaign with a good second at Lingfield in December but he has been absent since and he'll need a personal best to take this on his return. |

27th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Record of 2-5 since wearing a hood (maiden previously), the wins in Class 6 events at Brighton (about 5f); has to overcome career-high mark back up in trip/grade and returned to AW. |

18th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Doubled his winning tally when successful over C&D in April; twice unplaced on turf since and still 5lb higher than for that latest win, but still one for the shortlist returned here. |
6/1 |
|
7th 3 (9) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Sole turf win came in a Lingfield maiden but he won his first AW race in April (6f) and has since run well in a slightly stronger race than this over C&D (good to firm); has other quite solid handicap form at this trip on grass and he should go well under up-and-coming Harry Vigors. |
5/1 |
|
4th 10 (14) |
23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Ended a lengthy losing run when winning a 0-55 AW handicap run to suit round Lingfield last time; upped 6lb but was competitive off higher marks on turf last summer and that win may have boosted confidence. |
