28th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |

Began the year in hot form, winning 5f handicaps here and at Chelmsford; back to his last winning mark but he's barely beaten a rival on his last three runs. |

Won a couple of 5f AW handicaps in January; fully effective at 6f but he needs to leave a couple of low-key runs behind him now back on turf. |

8th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Races mainly on the AW; not that easy to win with (record of 1-21); in fair form when last out, finishing runner-up in three of his last four races (all at 6f) having won over 6f at Chelmsford in February; first turf run since May last year when fifth of six at Brighton (6f, good to firm). |

2nd 10 (5) |
21st May 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |

Can make the running; twice runner-up at Wolverhampton (6f, Tapeta) this spring and had excuses for a lesser effort over 5f there last time; each-way possibilities. |

27th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |

Successful in a 6f handicap at Chelmsford in February off a 4lb lower mark; runner-up here (6f) on his last two starts and he has run well over 5f in the past; should give his running. |

16th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Quirky veteran who's always reliant on some luck given her run style; landed a fifth win here when going in over C&D for Myla Coppins last month and may get this run to suit; player. |
8/1 |
|
5th 9 (5) |
25th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
She had been threatening prior to last week's come-from-behind win at Wolverhampton (5f); penalty demands a bit more but she should remain competitive. |
9/2 |

1st 6 (3) |
17th Feb 2026 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |

Multiple course winner; she hasn't been beaten far on her last three runs and should give it another good go. |

28th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Still a maiden but there isn't much between him and Arlington on C&D form in October and although he was beaten before the 6f trip became an issue at Chelmsford in February he can't be ruled out on return from a break. |
15/2 |
|
6th 10 |
8th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Maiden; often thereabouts in 5f handicaps on turf and the AW but he has ground to make up on Forever Noah on their recent 5f run here and the return to 6f, for the first time since his debut, raises a big question. |
7/1 |
|
4th 9 (1) |
29th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Longstanding maiden but he's been in the first three on 14 occasions; ran respectably in a classified on his return from a break over C&D two weeks ago and holds place claims once again. |

18th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |

Remains winless and he comes here below par, just fifth of eight in 6f Yarmouth handicap a week ago; more is required in refitted cheekpieces. |
8/1 |

5th 6 (9) |
11th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Finished 8l behind Walking On Clouds at Lingfield (6f, AW) ten days ago, taking his record to 0-14; only 4lb better off and has finished out of the frame in all five starts on turf; tongue-tie needs to make a big difference. |
14/1 |

5th 8 (4) |
1st Jun 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |

Longstanding maiden who missed a chunk of his career; tried in three forms of headgear this year, including when fourth behind two of these over C&D a month ago, and is given another try without today. |

4th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Goes well here and has twice won over C&D; 2lb lower than his last winning mark and although two of his last three starts have been below par, they were at Chelmsford; likely contender back here. |
7/1 |

6th 5 (4) |
29th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Five-time AW winner over 6f, most recently at Kempton in October off today's mark; unfortunate not to finish closer there ten days ago but this drop back in trip may not prove ideal. |
7/1 |

5th 3 (4) |
19th Jan 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Won twice over C&D last year and back off the same mark as for the latest in October; respected, especially if getting a solid pace to aim at. |

29th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Sole win from 18 starts came on her first outing for Michael Keady last February, but she lost her way for that stable and finished last of six in a classified at Lingfield on her debut for this yard 15 days ago; visor replaces cheekpieces. |
18/1 |

6th 2 (7) |
14th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Recorded an RPR of 70 when winning a C&D handicap last February on her first run for Michael Keady; little to shout about afterwards but she starts out for a new stable (same owner) off a reduced mark; drawn widest but a revival could be imminent. |
3/1 |

29th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Habitual slow starter who has one win from 33 starts; beaten a neck at Lingfield (5f, AW; first-time cheekpieces) last month but he's failed to beat a rival home in two outings since; others preferred. |
18/1 |
|
8th 7 (8) |
21st Jan 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Not one to rely on and she was very slowly away when last of 12 in 5f Southwell handicap 17 days ago; she's very hard to make a case for. |
14/1 |
|
2nd 1 (2) |
3rd Oct 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Huge chance on this year's best form, notably a C&D second off 7lb higher in February; refused to race at Yarmouth on her penultimate start though and that, allied to a modest effort at Chelmsford two weeks ago, leaves her with too much to prove for comfort. |
7/1 |
