29th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Both wins came on AW at the beginning of the year; 0-11 on turf but she was runner-up at Ffos Las (1m, soft) in June and a good third behind Kaleidoscope Eyes there (7.3f, good) last time; should go well again and she won't mind if the ground becomes testing. |

3rd 2 (8) |
4th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 80y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Both wins came on AW at the beginning of the year and is knocking on the door at present, having been placed on her last three starts; Oisin Murphy rides for the first time and must go close. |
9/4 |

3rd 10 (1) |
13th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Two 1m wins on Polytrack this spring, in a Lingfield classified event and a Kempton handicap; finished runner-up three times since her last success including at Wolverhampton (7f) and Ffos Las (1m) in last two runs; up another 2lb but she still looks feasibly treated and has leading claims. |

5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 216y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Dual AW winner (8.4f/1m) in this grade at start of this year; ran as though something was amiss when back on turf last month but has possibilities if back on song. |
11/1 |
|
11th 11 (2) |
18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Both turf wins have been at 1m on good to firm; has won twice in blinkers on AW this year; although not in top form last twice, these conditions are ideal and could go well on this return to turf. |
8/1 |
|
4th 1 (6) |
7th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won twice at this level earlier in the year, including C&D; finished behind Gloriola when fifth over C&D three weeks ago; should give a good account. |

1st Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Hard to win with but last success was over C&D and he was a rallying third here last time in a classified race; entitled to be in the mix. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 4 (8) |
5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 216y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Narrow winner of C&D (good to firm) handicap in September and went close in this grade here (7f, good) in June; safely held on AW at Lingfield since but was poorly positioned on outside of the field there and can do better here. |
8/1 |
|
7th 5 (5) |
13th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Just three wins from 64 starts but he returned after a short break with a near-miss in a classified at Brighton (7f, good) last month; has possibilities back up in trip and his first two wins came on AW at Lingfield. |

31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Hasn't won for ages but he was a close third under a prominent ride in a classified event at Bath (1m, firm) when last seen in early July; has possibilities if he can back that up and he's ideally suited by slow ground |
11/2 |
|
3rd 3 (11) |
1st Jul 2026 Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
This veteran hasn't tasted success for nearly three years; he ran okay over C&D two starts ago and when sixth at Ffos Las last week but more is needed. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 216y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
0-23 and after going close in a Lingfield classified in February he's been way off that in three subsequent starts, including when tailed off last time. |
16/1 |
|
11th 8 (8) |
29th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Frustrating type (0-22 overall; 0-15 for Tony Carroll) and the fitting of a hood (retained here) saw no upturn at Kempton five weeks ago. |
20/1 |
|
8th 7 (5) |
25th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
21-race maiden; returned to form with a close second in classified event at Lingfield (1m) last month but he failed to back that up at Wolverhampton two weeks ago; hood is now added and he needs to bounce back again after that last run. |

27th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Over three years since his sole win; tailed off on turf here 100 days ago; hard to warm to. |
66/1 |
|
9th 13 (1) |
19th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 135y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Sole win from 23 starts came at Wolverhampton (8.5f, AW) in July 2023 for his previous yard; mostly struggled since joining this stable in 2024 but did shaped more encouragingly when fifth of eight at Kempton (1m, AW) 55 days ago; needs to build on that. |
33/1 |
|
5th 9 (2) |
25th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
His sole win was in July 2023 and he's not finished closer than sixth in 13 runs since then; opposable. |

30th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Maiden who has raced mostly at up to 1m; back to form when third of ten in a 7f classified event here (first-time blinkers) in February but she's since run poorly at Lingfield; up against it at the weights. |
50/1 |
|
7th 4 (1) |
10th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
16-race maiden with a basement BHA mark of 37; ran surprisingly well when an 80-1 third in a 7f classified race four days but she looked a tricky ride in the new blinkers. |
20/1 |
|
3rd 1 (1) |
6th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
0-15 and hard to make a case for on recent efforts, even at this level; blinkers now given a go. |
20/1 |
