25th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Veteran who is on a losing run but he was finishing his race off strongly when second over C&D last month; a 2lb rise doesn't handicap him out of things and he's on the shortlist. |

9th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 216y Class 5 |
8st 4lb |
Winner of seven races but still 5lb higher than when last successful 12 months ago and this trip looks right on the limit of his stamina. |

30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
8st 5lb |
Course winner who returned from five months off with a very good second of nine over C&D last month, faring best of those held up; a player nudged up 1lb. |

2nd 6 (9) |
25th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Clearcut win in first-time blinkers on turf here (7f, soft) last June; several creditable efforts since but he was disappointing at Bath in his final run last autumn; has bit to prove with headgear missing after five months and this is competitive for the grade. |

Both wins have come over C&D but latest was in January 2025; finished third over 7f here in March but he's struggled in both subsequent runs and others are preferred. |

29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 6 |

Both wins on Lingfield AW but runner-up twice from six starts here; having run so poorly back on turf last time is the big stumbling block. |

Dual winner here on the AW over 1m; bounced back from a couple of lesser efforts when third of nine here on the AW over 7f last time but he could do without the rain on this switch back to turf (well beaten in three starts on soft). |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Won at Lingfield (7f, AW) in February and runner-up at Southwell (1m, AW) and Bath (1m, firm) in the spring; still looks on a workable mark but his form nosedived at Brighton last time and he needs to bounce back; one of three runners for Tony Carroll. |
10/1 |

7th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Continues to run with credit and recorded his eighth career win at Lingfield in February; has made the frame on all four starts since and shouldn't be far away. |
13/2 |

4th 5 (2) |
29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
In the veteran stage now but the old man's been giving younger legs plenty of trouble this year, dead-heating at Lingfield (7f, AW) in February and placed on another five occasions; still in good heart judged on latest second at Bath (1m, firm) and this dual C&D winner can go well again. |

Not well drawn for one who likes to race prominently and last two runs have been underwhelming; others safer. |

6th 12 (8) |
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. |

19th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

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. |

4th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Won two of last three at Southwell (7f) since these aids were fitted, a steady late surge taking him to the front close home 14 days ago; acts on Polytrack, too, but plenty needs to go right today from a wide draw. |
13/2 |

1st 3 (6) |
21st May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Finally off the mark over C&D in a first-time cheekpieces/second-time hood combination last month; didn't look to have any excuses back here when favourite off this mark a fortnight ago but this is weaker if anything. |
3/1 |
|
6th 2 (3) |
7th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Off the mark at the 18th attempt when getting up late to win over C&D 26 days days; the cheekpieces worn that day are retained and he can't be discounted off this 2lb higher mark. |

25th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
All of his five AW wins have been at longer trips but he went close over C&D last summer and was runner-up over 1m at Chelmsford last month; on same mark as for that last run and has possibilities if he gets a good pace and some luck; reapplied blinkers replace cheekpieces. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 5 (5) |
21st Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
All five wins have been on AW, including two at this track; bounced back with creditable third at Lingfield (1m) last month and he caught the eye of the stewards when a never-dangerous sixth there (7f) last time; looks interesting on this step back up in trip and he should get a decent pace to aim at. |
8/1 |
|
6th 4 (5) |
10th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Two course wins, at 1m4f and 1m; has raced only once at 7f, over C&D in August (favourite), and although a fast-finishing runner-up, the early stages weren't too encouraging as he was taken off his legs; if sharper in the early stages he'd look interesting. |

22nd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Sole turf win came in a Lingfield maiden but he won his first AW race in April (6f) and has since run well in a slightly stronger race than this over C&D (good to firm); has other quite solid handicap form at this trip on grass and he should go well under up-and-coming Harry Vigors. |
5/1 |

23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Ended a lengthy losing run when winning a 0-55 AW handicap run to suit round Lingfield last time; upped 6lb but was competitive off higher marks on turf last summer and that win may have boosted confidence. |
10/1 |
|
1st 3 (10) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Didn't fire over 7f here last month and is now 0-9 for Chris Gordon but keeping-on fourth of 12 at Kempton (6f) two starts ago was a pretty good effort and he remains on a good mark; considered, despite awkward draw. |
