Three wins over 1m2f this year, including at this track; runner-up at Beverley (1m2f, good to firm) in June but below his best in two starts since; drops in grade but others look stronger. |

9st 5lb |
Best effort in six outings for Hughie Morrison was her win in a handicap at Ffos Las (1m2f, good to soft) in August, the first of two starts in cheekpieces; first-time hood when pipped in 15-runner race at Doncaster (1m2f, good to soft) four weeks ago, which was a bright start under Ashley Lewis for new yard; up 3lb but a player if she's as effective on today's ground. |
2/1 |

2nd 9 (12) |
28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Best effort in her six outings for Hughie Morrison last season when winning 1m2f Ffos Las handicap (good to soft) in cheekpieces; a first-time hood is the choice of headgear setting out for a new yard after 197 days off; less exposed than most of these and would need considering if the betting vibes are positive. |

Not at his best lately (well-held last of three latest) but is 2lb lower than when scoring over this trip on good in the spring so a revival wouldn't surprise with Dylan Cunha among the winners. |

Not at his best lately, but is back off the same mark as when winning at Leicester (1m4f, good) in April; has won three times over this trip including here and has a solid chance if producing anything like his best. |

Back to winning ways with a front-running C&D success 23 days ago (visored first time); up 2lb but should give it another good go. |

1st 5 (3) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Two soft-ground turf wins, including one for this yard, but he acts on better ground and made the most of a good draw when close third of 15 at Nottingham (8.5f, good; Token Love seventh) in cheekpieces three weeks ago; that is just about the best recent form on offer and he's nicely berthed again; visor goes on and he's respected. |

First win was on AW but last two have come on turf (8.3f/1m2f, soft); had some close calls on Tapeta during the winter and he was a creditable fourth in big field at Doncaster (1m2f, good to soft) 11 days ago; could be in the mix again but he wouldn't want the ground to dry out. |

Was winning for the first time since his debut when just prevailing over 1m4f here (good) last month, but may not have been suited by the conditions when third of six at Yarmouth (11.5f, soft) 12 days ago; each-way claims. |

15th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 5 |

1-20 over hurdles; bounced back from heavy 2m defeat (wore visor) with respectable fourth at Cartmel (2m6f, good; no headgear) last month and remains unexposed over this sort of trip but others appeal more. |

22nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 13y Class 4 |

Largely in good form this term, notably two wins in the spring; ran well, beaten narrowly by the market leader, in four-runner field at Yarmouth (11.5f) latest run; upped in grade but receives weight all round; solid chance. |
9/4 |

Won here over 1m1f in April (good to firm) and followed up at Bath (11.5f, firm) next time off a 6lb lower mark than today's; disappointing at Beverley (1m2f) 36 days ago but he did sit close to a strong pace and may be able to bounce back. |

Sole win was in an AW maiden last May; never dangerous when sixth at Wolverhampton last time, but she was runner-up at Ayr (7f, good) on her penultimate run and is 1lb lower here; could be dangerous. |

30th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

Won a 7f maiden on the AW last May for her previous yard; has dropped a fair way in the weights since handicapping and ran well when runner-up in a 0-75 at Ayr (7f, good; ridden more prominently than usual) last time; makes the shortlist down in grade. |

Successful in 7f AW maiden in May 2025 for previous yard; has see-sawed in handicaps since but has been back in better form over 1m off a reduced mark of late and the return to 7f should suit; thereabouts. |

9st 6lb |
Maiden hurdle winner in first-time blinkers; 0-11 on the Flat, which sees him continue down the weights but he's been soundly beaten in Polytrack handicaps (unraced on Tapeta) and Flat record over the last year has been uninspiring; visored first time (has tried cheekpieces as well as the blinkers). |

1st Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 6y Class 6 |

Hurdle winner at Doncaster (2m, good to soft; first-time blinkers) in December but struggled in his next five starts; ran a bit better when sixth of nine at Bath (1m2f, firm) 15 days ago but isn't certain to back that up; cheekpieces replace blinkers. |

Eight-race maiden who was a well-beaten 33-1 shot at Southwell (2m; first-time tongue-tie) in January; this is more realistic than the Listed hurdle she tackled here last time but she's still hard to make a strong case for; has first-time cheekpieces added to the tongue-tie now. |

Runner-up (beaten over 4l) in this last year, but yet to win on turf (0-17); gamely fended off the frustrating Little Ted at Newcastle (1m; 11-2) on penultimate start, but reportedly ran flat back there on latest; stable have more obvious chance with Wicklow Way. |
