7th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 6 |
10st 7lb |
Record of ten wins from 34 starts on the AW; goes particularly well here, gaining fourth course success when scoring by 14l over 2m nine days ago; this trip no problem; will be hard to beat with a 5lb penalty. |

28th Jun 2026 Standard 2m 0f 120y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Nine wins on the AW including two over C&D (course record reads 22111544); would have finished closer with a clear run when fifth of eight at Bath (2m1f, good) 15 days ago and very much of interest back here. |

Added another two AW wins to his haul this winter; rated 7lb lower on turf but with some justification given his record on grass, including a heavy C&D defeat in April; not solid. |

28th Apr 2026 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Returns to the AW after another modest effort over hurdles, but was twice runner-up on Polytrack before that; both wins have come on that surface, but he ran well to finish a close third behind Payment Plan over this C&D in November 2024; each-way claims again. |

4th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 145y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Hasn't been seen over hurdles since February last year but was only beaten a head at Plumpton in December 2024 when 11-8 favourite; runner-up on the Flat twice recently so fitness will not be an issue and he must be of interest. |
3/1 |

2nd 8 (3) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Ran well in fourth at Chelmsford (2m, Polytrack) in January when back from some time off and built on that to go close there (1m6f) four weeks ago; there's every chance he'll be bang there once more. |

29th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Simply bumped into one on a rare turf start six weeks ago and returns to Polytrack off the same mark; cheekpieces go on for the first time in almost a year and his claims are obvious. |
6/4 |
|
2nd 5 (4) |
18th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 68y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Has resumed in good form and a 2lb rise for his recent AW win here under Ashley Lewis seems fair; has yet to win on turf (only run on it once since 2023) but otherwise has a decent chance of following up. |
7/4 |

1st 5 (1) |

Has modest 1-28 strike-rate (includes five hurdle runs) but was denied a clear run before finishing well for close third over C&D last month and gets another chance off the same mark today; respected. |

Won at Southwell (1m6f, Tapeta) in October and went close behind Forglen over this C&D in January; returned to form with 2l fourth to Forglen at Southwell (1m6f) a fortnight ago and may well be thereabouts. |

13th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Well beaten on latest Flat start in May (2m, turf) but has been placed in two AW handicaps here this year (1m4f/2m) and didn't run badly over hurdles last month; swaps cheekpieces for first-time visor; more appealing than most. |
6/1 |

6th 9 |
10th Jun 2026 Good 2m 3f 29y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Hasn't raced much over hurdles and shaped as though this step up in trip will suit when staying on into fourth at Plumpton (2m, good to soft) in March; beaten in low-grade contests on Flat since; place claims. |

4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Solid debut for his new yard, having been picked up from Simon Dow for 11,000gns, a fortnight ago and duly won a small-field affair easily last weekend; not had much racing on turf and a 6lb rise could well be manageable in current form. |
4/6 |

1st 5 (2) |
27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Three-time AW winner here for Simon Dow last year who made a solid start for his new yard back on turf, having been picked up for 11,000gns, at Ripon nine days ago; just cracked late there on his first run in three months and has a good chance today. |
4/6 |

3rd 4 (9) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 10y Class 6 |

Three Lingfield AW wins (1m4f-1m5f) for Simon Dow; changed hands in April for 11,000gns and only time will tell how he fares for his new handler; relatively unexposed on turf (0-3) but may strip fitter for this off an 83-day break. |

27th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Won over C&D in January; runner-up at Southwell (1m6f) next time and has won over 1m6f at Wolverhampton and Southwell on his two starts since; his wins have been narrow ones, meaning he is climbing the weights only slowly, and there can be optimism this progressive 5yo has more left in the tank. |

1st 2 (5) |
13th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 6 |

In fine form lately with wins at Lingfield (2m, Polytrack) and from a subsequent winner at Wolverhampton (1m6f, Tapeta); finished runner-up over this C&D in between and although up 3lb, is likely to be bang there once again. |

21st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 139y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Won two in a row on the Flat (2m1f/2m, soft) last autumn and running well when falling three out on hurdle debut in December; always in rear back on the Flat last month but that came after a 109-day break and she could leave than run behind this afternoon. |

27th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 6 |

Won her last two Flat starts in the autumn (2m1f/2m, soft) and she was running well when falling three out on her hurdle debut at Fontwell in December; this is her first run since and she's struggled on AW previously, but she could be a different proposition now; wears first-time hood; could go well. |

29th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 6 |

Two course wins to his name from four starts; none of his six victories have come off a mark quite this high and he's lost his way since going in at Wolverhampton in March; needs a revival. |

11th May 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 6 |

Three wins here over the extended 2m in recent times, latterly off 2lb lower; the return to Tapeta will suit, off the back of two ordinary efforts, but others make greater appeal. |

3rd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 44y Class 6 |

28th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |

Lightly raced 4yo who ran his best race so far when third of 12 in a Wolverhampton handicap (1m4f, Tapeta) 26 days ago; that was a promising effort after a slow start and he's respected off only 1lb higher here. |

Unplaced in two starts for Gavin Cromwell in the autumn and he's been well held in three runs for current yard; dropped another 5lb but he was never involved in a Southwell handicap (1m4f) last month and others are preferred. |
