3rd 8 (1) |
18th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Took him a while to get off the mark, but has won three times over 1m4f on the AW this year including one here (under Jessica Llewellyn); back off his last winning mark and holds each-way claims if seeing out the new trip. |

All three wins have been on AW; respectable fourth over C&D (good) in June but seems best suited to AW. |

3rd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Not beaten far a couple of times over C&D early in the year and the switch to first-time blinkers did the trick over 1m4f here a fortnight ago; that was only a 0-50 classified event but this isn't the strongest of handicaps. |
7/2 |
|
1st 2 (7) |
18th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Placed in a couple of handicaps earlier this year but beaten 25l and 13l on last two Flat starts; has another change of headgear with blinkers replacing a visor but has plenty to prove. |
11/2 |
|
11th 5 (5) |
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. |

19th Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Outran 50-1 odds when third over C&D (good) last month, his third start for Sarah-Jayne Davies, but needs a better performance today and his overall profile remains unconvincing. |
14/1 |
|
3rd 11 |
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 |
|

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. |

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. |

9st 9lb |
Placed a couple of times in handicaps here (1m/1m2f) earlier in year after the cheekpieces went on, but the novelty seemed to wear off and she is now 0-16; steps back up in trip but hard to fancy. |
20/1 |

8th 13 (12) |
11th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Placed a couple of times in handicaps here (1m/1m2f) earlier in year after the cheekpieces went on, but the novelty seemed to wear off and she is now 0-15; relies on just the tongue-tie today; drawn wide. |

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 |

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 |

27th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
He has the ability to make a nonsense of his lowly rating but slow starts have been a recurring theme and he completely disgraced himself at Leicester in May; running okay over hurdles this summer but can't be backed with any confidence. |
7/1 |

4th 3 |
20th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
1-25 on the Flat; kept on for third on handicap hurdle debut at Southwell (2m, good) in June but two lesser efforts have followed and it's questionable whether the refitted cheekpieces will make the necessary difference. |
