28th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Four 5f wins since December, including C&D, with the latest coming at Lingfield 24 days ago; only 2lb higher and looks set for another prominent showing. |

4th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Busy since the autumn; some narrow defeats to go with three 5f wins, on Polytrack elsewhere and Tapeta; ran flat at Southwell recently but he's realistically weighted if that wasn't a sign that he's going off the boil. |

6th 5 (2) |
21st May 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Three wins in the winter, including over C&D, and he has continued to run well off his revised mark; drawn wide on turf last time and usually gives his running round here, so holds each-way claims. |

18th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
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. |

5th 8 (4) |
1st Jun 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
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. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
All four wins on AW; not beaten far when third over C&D in April but ran no sort of race when last of nine over C&D when last seen in May; another headgear switch and is becoming frustrating. |
10/1 |
|
9th 9 (1) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
Four-time AW winner who is 0-29 on turf but he ran well to finish third over C&D (good; 100-30 favourite) three weeks ago; rallied well in that race and he should be in the thick of things again off only 1lb higher. |
3/1 |

3rd 6 (7) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Led close home to score at Wolverhampton just before Christmas but the handicapper has been winning the argument since; a 0-28 turf record is enough reason to look elsewhere. |

15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 182y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Seemingly aided by first-time tongue-tie when causing 28-1 surprise on AW in February (6f) but absent since running as though something was amiss the following month and has become far too inconsistent to rely upon; not the percentage call on first turf start since summer 2024. |
12/1 |

8th 2 (1) |
6th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Returned to form out of the blue when winning a C&D handicap last month (tongue tied first time); fair effort at Southwell (5f) one week later and he will be happier back up in distance. |
11/4 |
|
4th 1 (5) |
11th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Almost a year off was followed by a couple of inauspicious efforts but he came good at a big price in a first-time tongue-tie at Newcastle (6f, Tapeta) last week; has had consistent spells once hitting form in the past and a 4lb penalty means he's still on a handy mark; big player. |

22nd Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
C&D winner who also finished third in this last year; has been in good nick since the visor went on, winning a classified at Southwell and Newcastle (February/March) and placed in three handicaps (also 5f, AW) subsequently; can take a grip so today's likely good pace will suit and he gets on well with Conor Whiteley; player. |
9/2 |

3rd 1 (9) |
15th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won classified events over C&D in February and at Newcastle in March; placed in handicap company on both starts since, latest when a close third of 13 here 13 days; good claims once again. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 3 (2) |
2nd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Won classified events over C&D and at Newcastle (penalised) before being brushed aside by Little Mi Mi at Newcastle three weeks ago; a 5lb turnaround in the weights should see things finish closer today. |

2nd 3 (6) |
28th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Can lead; on a tempting mark relative to past turf form but he's 0-7 on the AW and has been well beaten since only just failing against Arlington over C&D in January; couldn't count on refitted blinkers, replacing a visor, returning him to form. |
5/1 |
|
6th 5 (4) |
11th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Triple turf winner who is 0-6 on AW surfaces; went close over C&D on his penultimate start (first-time tongue-tie and visor combination) but was well beaten without the visor back here latest; visor now returns but hard to be confident of another better effort. |
6/1 |
|
6th 6 (3) |
20th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Three turf wins for previous yard; 0-4 for current stable but went very close in visor over C&D most recently; possibilities, provided he's in similar form with the headgear removed. |
11/2 |
