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. |

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. |
8/1 |
|
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. |
12/1 |

20th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Has fared reasonably well since blinkers were fitted and again competitive at Brighton (7f) recently; has form over 1m but it's been a long time since he ran over this far. |

19th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 135y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
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). |
13/2 |
|
3rd 7 (5) |
25th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Both wins have been gained over 1m at this track; last success was off 8lb higher last January but he's been generally disappointing since and was beaten 7l at Kempton (1m) three weeks ago; has a change of headgear but he looks opposable back in trip. |
12/1 |
|
6th 7 (7) |
2nd Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Both wins have come on Polytrack at Lingfield but latest was 14 months ago; on dangerous mark and was placed at Lingfield (1m) in November but he's taken two backward steps since and overall record is now 2-35. |

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. |
5/2 |
|
2nd 5 (7) |
12th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Eight career wins divided between AW and turf, and he's won from 5f to 1m; returns to turf on the back of a string of pleasing AW runs and no reason why he won't have a say; races prominently. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 2 (5) |
29th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
In good form over 7f of late, recording win number eight at Lingfield two starts ago (dead-heat); has the assistance of Oisin Murphy, but 1m around here just stretches him. |

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. |

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. |

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. |
6/1 |
|
8th 4 (2) |
25th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Sole win was over 6f on turf in July 2024; on reduced mark and was a creditable fourth at Kempton (6f, Polytrack) three weeks ago but that took his record to 1-22 and he's untried at this trip; others are more persuasive. |
