29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 209y Class 6 |
10st 1lb |
Won three on the AW earlier in the year; often ran well here last summer but off much lower marks and it may well be that the handicapper has closed in now. |

29th May 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |

In fine form on the AW in 2026, scoring twice over C&D in April; beat one back on turf at Bath last time but no surprise to see him get back on track here. |

13th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Well beaten on latest Flat start in May (2m, turf) but has been placed in two AW handicaps here this year (1m4f/2m) and didn't run badly over hurdles last month; swaps cheekpieces for first-time visor; more appealing than most. |
6/1 |
|
6th 9 |
10th Jun 2026 Good 2m 3f 29y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Hasn't raced much over hurdles and shaped as though this step up in trip will suit when staying on into fourth at Plumpton (2m, good to soft) in March; beaten in low-grade contests on Flat since; place claims. |
14/1 |

18th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 68y Class 6 |

Course winner who's finished behind Balgowan on the AW here the last twice; closely matched with his old rival on revised terms and looks set to go well again. |

1st Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Placed in low-grade AW handicaps for Olly Murphy earlier this year; beaten 20l over hurdles on yard debut and then unseated in his first chase; risky. |
33/1 |
|
7 |
11th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Placed in two low-grade AW handicaps for Olly Murphy in February/March but was last of six when back over hurdles here (2m, good) for new stable last month and is not bred for chasing. |
50/1 |
|
6th 5 |
22nd May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Won over 1m on the Flat in Ireland in 2024, but Olly Murphy was unable to get a win out of him in five runs over hurdles and two on the Flat; sold for 5,500gns to join new yard last month; best watched on stable debut. |

10th Jun 2026 Good 3m 1f 166y Class 5 |

0-5 over hurdles but seemed suited by the new trip when runner-up over C&D (good) in April; should not be far away. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 3 |
24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 166y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Dual AW winner on the Flat who was 61l adrift when beating one home on his handicap hurdle debut at Kempton (2m) last month; just a fair effort on the Flat a fortnight ago; upped markedly in trip for his second go in this sphere. |
8/1 |
|
8th 10 (7) |
8th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Mainly seen over hurdles lately and is just 2-33 under rules, but one of his wins came over C&D and his last few efforts on the AW off similar marks would give him an each-way chance here. |

21st Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Has three wins on AW, including two here (one over C&D); tends to race freely and needs to settle better to fulfil his potential; second over hurdles two weeks ago. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 4 |
7th Apr 2026 Good 2m 2f 111y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Gained a third win on the AW in February (1m6f) but regressed in his last four starts; 0-6 as a hurdler and returns to this discipline for the first time since pulled up in a handicap last summer for Chris Grant; hardly solid but this is a poor race. |
100/30 |
|
8th 10 (4) |
31st Mar 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Successful three times (1m3f, 1m4f and 1m6f) this January/February, with the last two wins at this track; way below form on last two outings (headstrong on Saturday) but he has bounced back before. |

Is 0-14 and she beat one in 1m2f AW classified event at Lingfield 20 days ago; blinkers and hood are retried here. |
33/1 |
|
9th 9 (10) |
18th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Exposed maiden (6f-1m4f) who's been given a ten-week break since running as well as could have been expected in novice company at Bath (1m2f, good); withdrawn at Chepstow on Monday when the jockey got injured at the start; takes drop in class and may not be far away. |
8/1 |

15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

25th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
10st 8lb |
All six wins have been on Polytrack and five have been at Lingfield; lost his way in 2025 but he's shown some encouraging signs in classified events this year, including when third here (1m2f) on his penultimate run; has plenty of form over C&D and he could be dangerous off reduced mark. |
12/1 |
|
5th 8 |
8th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Lost his way in 2025 but he's shown some encouraging signs at Lingfield this year, including when third in a classified event (1m2f) last weekend; can miss the break but he's a Polytrack specialist who has possibilities if this sets up for his closing style. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 6 (6) |
31st Jan 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Thrown in on best form but has been missing the break of late and couldn't land a blow when fourth over C&D last week; chances hinge on getting away on terms. |

10th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Now at the veteran stage but has won five times and been placed on nine occasions around here; twice finished runner-up in similar events over C&D at the start of the year and another big effort seems likely. |
5/2 |
|
8th 7 (2) |
25th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
10st 11lb |
Six-time Tapeta winner who has finished runner-up in classified events at Wolverhampton (1m4f) in his last two starts; still looks feasibly treated back in a handicap and he's a big player if he can transfer his form back to Polytrack. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 4 (6) |
9th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |

25th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |

Has struggled at big prices in all six starts, including in two runs for new yard this year; cheekpieces are now added and she needs a transformation back up in trip. |

7th 8 (4) |
7th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

11st 4lb |
Flat winner at 1m2f in May 2025; refused to race in May this year but he came nearest to a first hurdle win when close up in an ordinary handicap at Southwell (2m, good) three weeks ago; shouldn't be far away. |
8/1 |

3rd 1 |
9th Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Displayed promise when making the frame in two maiden hurdles (2m, good/good to firm) this spring but he refused to race on the Flat in between and needs to improve to overcome top weight on this handicap hurdle debut. |
10/1 |
|
4th 4 |
19th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 7f 171y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Has regressed on the Flat since winning small-field Bath handicap for another stable a year ago; made fairly encouraging hurdle debut when keeping on for modest third at Plumpton (2m, good) last month but needs to build on that performance here and has since refused to race on the Flat. |
