30th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Has form figures of 14323112253 since Boxing Day and that latest third was a good effort from a wide draw at Wolverhampton; still looks on a workable mark and he's respected in suitable conditions back on turf; yard also runs Palazzo Persico. |

3rd 8 (8) |
6th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Both AW wins have been at this track, one over today's distance; has shot up the weights since as a result of further success on turf; in good order at present, however, and shouldn't be far away. |

5th 5 (7) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 1m 3f 218y Class 4 |

Gained his second success for this yard when winning at Wolverhampton (8.5f, AW) in March and followed up at Bath (1m, good to soft) next time; runner-up in both starts since (1m2f) but this consistent sort still needs to prove he stays this far. |

All four wins have been on the AW, the last three at Kempton, most recently over 1m in June when last seen off a 4lb lower mark; went close here over 7f in April and can be competitive on his return from a 76-day break. |

10th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Justified favouritism in a C&D handicap in April off 5lb lower; beaten a nose at Lingfield later that month and then met trouble in running at Ripon last week; should remain competitive. |

6th 4 (2) |

5yo who was in top form on AW in the spring, with a win at Kempton (1m) being sandwiched by two seconds; showed some promise in May 2024 when he last raced on turf; key player if transferring good form back to grass. |

8st 10lb |
Three wins over 1m/1m2f on turf/AW in the spring and has continued to run well since; finds herself off a career-high mark, but another good effort can't be ruled out; has won on good to soft; stable also runs Redhot Whisper. |
7/1 |

3rd 4 (5) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 14y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Three wins over 1m/1m2f on turf/AW in the spring and has only gone down narrowly in her last two starts, the latest at Epsom (8.5f, good to firm) eight days ago; already due to go up another 3lb for that and holds leading claims. |
2/1 |

2nd 3 (5) |
16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 113y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Three wins this year, the last two at Bath (1m/1m2f) in April and she's continued to look in good form, beaten a head at Salisbury (1m) on latest start; firmly in the mix if she adapts to this track. |

Goes well here; all four AW wins have been over C&D; third over C&D last month but below his best at Bath since; looks sure to go close at his favoured track. |
14/1 |
|
8th 6 (10) |
13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
His last four wins have come on AW at Wolverhampton; six C&D runs have yielded formfigures of 243234; third at Wolverhampton 12 days ago (for today's rider) and he should be in the thick of the action once again. |
4/1 |

3rd 10 (2) |
1st Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Three-time C&D winner, latterly off 4lb higher in February; fine on Polytrack but the return here is an obvious plus off a career-low mark and he's another with claims in an open handicap. |

9st 9lb |
0-14 but she finished runner-up twice here (1m/1m1f) last month and had another close call at Wolverhampton two weeks ago; on same mark as for her last two runs and she should make another bold bid; cheekpieces added. |
9/4 |

2nd 2 (3) |
11th May 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Regressive maiden who's found her level for this yard, twice finishing second on turf last month, including over this sort of trip for the first time latest; needs to improve on previous AW work if she's to make it 14th time lucky. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 2 (6) |
30th Apr 2026 Good 1m 1f 21y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
0-9 last year for Ed Walker; new yard this year and her half-length second of 14 here (good) last time was her closest finish, over 1m but she ran on well from rear; 1m1f, at the least, will be within range on that evidence. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 195y Class 6 |

Handy sort who is 1-1 here and ran well returned to turf when beaten a short head and a neck into third of eight at Hamilton (1m, good) a fortnight ago; ground faster than good probably not ideal, though. |

1st Sep 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Won three times on turf for Richard Hannon last year; runner-up three times this year for current yard but is proving to be inconsistent; runs without tongue-tie worn on last two starts; rated 5lb lower on AW but best chance of success would appear to be on turf. |
6/1 |

5th 2 (4) |
4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Three turf wins for Richard Hannon last summer and latest was off 1lb higher at Ripon (1m4f, good to firm); mixed results for new yard since March but she's had some close calls and was a creditable second at Doncaster (1m2f; tongue-tie added) last week; on same mark here and has leading claims if she can back that up |
11/4 |

2nd 5 (3) |
26th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |

Course specialist who landed his sixth win on this track earlier this month, in a C&D classified; beaten at odds-on over 7f here 24 hours later but will be more at home back over 1m and must be on the shortlist. |

Gained five of his 11 wins at this track; not at best in three handicaps since returned to turf in June but was only beaten about 2l when fifth of seven at Windsor (1m, good to firm) last time and is strong interest in this lower grade and with cheekpieces refitted. |

11-time AW winner including four at this track (7f/1m2f); has a patchy record this year but he came from the rear to finish runner-up in a classified event at Wolverhampton (8.6f) last Tuesday; should get a decent tow into this race and he's respected back on Polytrack. |

21st Jun 2026 Good 1m 3f 198y Class 6 |

Signed off for Ed Dunlop with respectable fifth of 15 at Nottingham (8.3f, good; visored) in April but was always behind on recent stable debut (1m, AW; no headgear) and it's hard to know what to expect from her over this new trip; blinkers refitted. |

Off the mark at the 22nd attempt when landing a classified event here (1m, good) last month and he ran another good race when runner-up at Ffos Las last time; has 4lb rise to deal with back in a handicap, but he's effective at this trip and has form figures of 2522212 since June; in the mix. |
