29th May 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
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. |
9/1 |
|
8th 1 (3) |
4th May 2026 Firm 1m 3f 137y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
0-9 on turf but returns to this surface after posting form figures of 12211 over 1m4f on the AW; his mark has suffered as a result but he still appeals more than most. |
11/4 |
|
1st 5 (4) |
21st Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Got off the mark when a shock winner at Lingfield (1m4f; 40-1) in February but showed that was no fluke when runner-up twice since and went in again over C&D 11 days ago; up 5lb but still on the upgrade. |

18th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 68y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
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. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 6 (3) |
27th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Yet to add to his 1m1f turf win here in 2024 but went close over 1m4f here (AW) in February and also ran well when fifth (just behind Balgowan) over C&D last month; probably won't be far away. |
10/1 |
|
5th 6 (7) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Beaten just a head over 1m4f here last month on his last Flat start and he ran well over 2m on turf here last July; didn't perform badly back over hurdles last week; might not be far away now reverting to the Flat. |

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. |
25/1 |
|
3rd 7 (1) |
26th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 5f 66y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Gained his Irish win on AW; posted an encouraging effort, keeping-on third, at Lingfield (1m4f) returned to this sphere on seasonal debut; interesting. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 4 (6) |
25th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
10st 13lb |
Sole win was at Dundalk (1m, AW) in September 2024 and he's been well held in five hurdle runs for current yard; has something to prove back on the Flat and this is competitive; cheekpieces removed. |

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. |
13/2 |
|
5th 2 |
23rd Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Goes handicapping for the first time in this sphere but probably doesn't have anything in hand, with opening hurdles mark roughly in keeping with his Flat ability; that doesn't necessarily mean he can't run well. |

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. |

50/1 |

21th 21 (2) |
29th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Chased home Rising Force at Lingfield in January (1m, AW; cheekpieces first time; ridden by Louise Chance); form dipped last time and she will need a career best today. |
33/1 |
|
6th 9 (7) |
25th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
10st 7lb |
0-10 but she's finished close up here in her last three starts, including two handicaps (1m/1m2f); hard to rule out another good run but she still has stamina to prove at this trip and others are more persuasive; tongue-tie added. |

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 |

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 |

12yo who has not won since 2020 and was well held on his return from a long absence at Leicester (1m4f, soft) in October; back on the sidelines again since and can only watched. |

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. |
33/1 |

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

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. |
10/1 |
|
7 (3) |
9th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
A fair 1m2f winner for Michael Attwater; has shaped with promise on all three runs for his new yard, set a lot to do when third over hurdles at Plumpton 20 days ago; a slow starter but he still rates a player off a reduced mark here. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 6 |
19th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 4 |
