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 |

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. |
6/1 |

16th Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Serial hard-puller who won a 0-50 over C&D in the winter and has held his form well; not beaten far in handicaps on last two outings and may have needed it last time after a break; one to consider. |

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. |

13th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Dual AW winner who was placed on turf here (1m2f) last month but he flopped on his drop back to 1m at Bath (started slowly) 12 days ago; needs to bounce back after that and he's probably more potent over longer trips these days. |
12/1 |

10th 8 (3) |
1st Jul 2026 Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Form figures in classified company read 35124323 but he might be tapped for toe back at 1m this evening. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 4 (12) |
18th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Doesn't win very often (3-36) but has two wins at this track, the latest a similar event (1m2f, AW) in January; has run creditably since until taking a dip when eighth of 15 at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) last month on his return to turf; has the form to run well here if putting his best foot forward. |

25th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
In good form of late and again looked worth another try at this longer trip when just behind Monks Mead over 1m here four weeks ago; had plenty of chances now though. |
20/1 |

4th 9 (6) |
25th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Low-grade maiden but he ran as well as he ever has when third in a similar C&D event 15 days ago (1.5l behind Nicely Curved); wouldn't be sure to be in the same form a second time. |
14/1 |
|
3rd 6 (3) |
10th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |

Never figured in a 7f classified race here a month ago on return from a break; that was won by Tilsworth Max; unfavoured by the weights. |

14th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 6 |
10st 8lb |
Patchy since returning from almost a year off and it's a long time since he went this far; yard been dry for a while and others hold more pressing claims. |
16/1 |
|
5th 7 (2) |
25th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Over two years since his last win but he has only had seven runs (three over hurdles) since his Wolverhampton success in January 2024; this winter's efforts need bettering and he ran poorly when tried in blinkers once in the past. |
16/1 |

8 (8) |
23rd Sep 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Hat-trick and good third to Port Noir last four Flat starts; not seen for nearly a year but his ability to get the job done counts for a lot in this; market can guide. |

25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Back to form with a near-miss at Lingfield (1m2f, AW) in January but he's taken backward steps in two runs since; overall record is now 1-37 and others are preferred. |
33/1 |

6th 3 (5) |
25th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |

Chased home Monks Mead in a similar event (1m2f) here last month; another fair effort ten days later and dropping back to a mile shouldn't hinder him; strike-rate of 1-36 does temper enthusiasm though. |

5th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
A fair 6f winner at her best but she ended her time with Grant Tuer below par and came in last of eight for her new yard over C&D eight days ago; she's not easy to make a case for. |
33/1 |
|
8th 1 (10) |
25th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Inconsistent for former stable and hasn't added to her maiden win back in June 2023; unraced at further than 7f (tailed off in on attempt) but pedigree offers hope she will stay. |
