5th 8 (3) |
2nd Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Serial slow-starter who has won seven times over 6f/7f on the AW; held in handicaps lately, but the return to this level offers hope and he's capable of playing a part if things pan out his way. |
10/1 |
|
8th 9 (10) |
27th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
8st 8lb |
Serial slow starter who switches back from blinkers to the visor sported for last month's 0-50 Kempton win; will be happier back up from 6f but is yet another who'll need some luck from a wide stall. |
10/1 |
|
6th 11 (11) |
8th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Frequent slow-starter who is a four-time winner here, the latest in a 0-50 classified event over 7f last month; twice held since, though, and doesn't have a great draw. |

4th 7 (3) |
21st May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Regressive for Thomas Faulkner in various forms of headgear before switching to this yard in early spring; pulled hard on turf last time and returns to cheekpieces back up from 6f. |
6/1 |
|
9th 11 (4) |
25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Won 2yo AW maiden; his 3yo season never really got going but he was on a much-reduced mark when runner-up on two occasions (7f) in March; well held on yard debut since, though, and likely best watched back on turf. |
13/2 |
|
8th 8 (8) |
11th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Course scorer who returned to form in a headgear change when second of eight in 7f Wolverhampton handicap 29 days ago on his final run for Thomas Faulkner; not out of things for his new handler. |

4th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
8st 4lb |
Often leads; tight between him and Francisco on C&D form in April but he couldn't hold his place on the turf track here since and this looks competitive, especially with others in the field who like to lead. |
14/1 |
|
5th 11 (11) |
19th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
8st 7lb |
Without a win since 2024 but went close here (7f, AW) last month; this race may be more competitive than he is used to but he's not dismissed. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 11 (8) |
27th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
8st 4lb |
On the downgrade last year; third to Vitalline in a 0-50 classified event on his Kempton comeback early last month but has since run only fairly from the front over C&D; others appeal more. |

1st Jun 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Regressive and inconsistent for this yard, and is tried in a first-time visor instead of cheekpieces tonight; needs to bounce back from a couple of ordinary efforts on turf. |
12/1 |
|
8th 12 (8) |
21st May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
0-10 for this yard but she went close at Southwell (6f, AW) on her penultimate start; 14l defeat at Yarmouth last time tempers confidence, however. |
12/1 |
|
7th 6 (5) |
28th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Won three nurseries for George Scott; not the same filly now but handicapped accordingly and went close at Southwell (6f, AW) 17 days ago. |

5th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Running fairly well on the AW when last seen but in only 0-50 company and he is a highly infrequent winner; no more than each-way claims. |
20/1 |
|
5th 9 (12) |
4th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Strike-rate of 3-61 so thoroughly exposed but latest third in 1m Lingfield classified event is reasonable form for the level; each-way shout assuming a wide stall isn't too troublesome. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 5 (6) |
10th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Strike-rate of 3-60 so thoroughly exposed and has come up well short in three visits here since going close at the track in September; contested a classified race last time. |

25th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Has not finished closer than fifth in her eight starts, including two handicaps and two classified events for current yard; made some late headway in blinkers here (7f) last time but she needs improvement back up in trip. |
16/1 |
|
6th 8 (9) |
4th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Seven-race maiden who has little in the way of solid form; first-time blinkers replace cheekpieces. |
20/1 |
|
6th 3 (2) |
9th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Six-race maiden who isn't particularly solid on form; chance largely depends on how well she responds to first-time headgear. |

30th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Not yet off the mark and while he ran respectably on a rare run beyond 1m, when third in a C&D classified event two weeks ago, he just kept on at the one pace; needs extra for the win. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 7 (5) |
16th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
In good hands but he remains winless and comes here on the back of a below-par seventh in 7f Kempton classified event 12 days ago; not easy to make a case for. |
20/1 |
|
7th 7 (4) |
4th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

1st Jun 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Winner here early in the year who's been held a few times since; running in a sprint for just the second time and, for all that she's a keen-goer, whether she'll have the required toe round here is the question. |
12/1 |
|
6th 7 (6) |
21st Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
2-21; said to have "benefited for the break" when returning to spring a 16-1 surprise at Lingfield (7f, Class 6) in January; wasn't far off those same levels when fourth (beaten 3l) back there next time but latest Kempton effort was only a modest one. |
8/1 |
|
8th 1 (13) |
4th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Reappeared to win Lingfield handicap in January and respectable third of eight back there (also 7f) since; the widest stall could be tricky but she brings much more compelling form claims than most. |

4th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

Poor form so far, beating only one home switched to handicap company on last three starts; first-time blinkers join last time's newly fitted tongue-tie. |
66/1 |
|
7th 8 (7) |
10th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Modest form so far, failing to beat a rival in two handicaps, at 6f and 1m; needs so much more for the fitting of a tongue-tie. |
100/1 |

12th 11 (2) |
20th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Big prices and not yet involved in just four starts, most recently on handicap debut over 6f on turf last July; lots to find back over 1m. |

4th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

19th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 135y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
0-12; beaten only 2l when fifth of 11 here over 7f in a classified event in February but he's not backed that up in two starts since; well held in five starts on turf and others are preferred. |
25/1 |
|
7th 6 (10) |
29th Apr 2026 Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
11-race maiden but he was beaten only 2l at Lingfield (1m, AW) in January and again there over 7f in February (classified events); his latest effort is worth forgiving (wide trip) but he has struggled in four starts on turf. |
16/1 |
|
11th 4 (10) |
4th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Lightly raced 5yo with a patchy record, although he was beaten only 2l when fifth in a similar race at Lingfield under Jack Dace last time; each-way shout with a repeat of that form. |
