20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Ten-time winner who scored at Lingfield (7f, Polytrack) in Janaury but he's not got involved in his last three starts; now 2lb lower than for that last success but he needs to rediscover his spark. |
20/1 |

27th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Consistent record round here (2-4 over C&D) and is back on the mark off which he won here in January; not in the same form of late, there's always a chance he'll blow the start and it's no certainty the race will be set up for him. |

9th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
C&D winner who gained his sixth success on the AW at Lingfield (7f, AW) in January; didn't quite see 1m out when sixth there in February and he never featured in a 0-105 at Kempton (7f) 22 days ago; will appreciate the drop in grade but he'll want a good gallop to aim at over this shorter trip. |

9th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Promise in maiden/novice company and he took a good step forward when winning a 7f handicap at Kempton 175 days ago (first run after a gelding operation); up 7lb but remains capable of better and Oisin Murphy rides for the first time; key player. |

15th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
250,000gns yearling who's been expensive to follow, latterly without the hood for the first time (back on here) on his handicap debut; since been gelded and it will be interesting to see how he goes in the market. |

31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Acts on good to firm and good to soft; has a patchy profile and was well held at Brighton last time, but he made it 2-4 at Epsom when scoring over C&D on his penultimate; has claims if he can recapture that form and he's in the mix back at this track. |
4/1 |

6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 210y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Bounced back from below-par run with narrow win at Epsom (7f, good to firm) last month and remains well treated after subsequent 2lb nudge; high on the list. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Didn't fire on Tapeta three weeks ago but began this campaign with three respectable runs and is now only 3lb higher than when winning easily by nearly 5l over C&D (good) last summer; dangerous to ignore. |

13th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Can front-run; sole win from 16 starts came in a maiden at Chelmsford (1m, AW) in September but he did step forward from his return when fourth in first-time cheekpieces over C&D 22 days ago; headgear is retained. |
10/1 |

4th 10 (6) |
21st Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Sole win from 15 starts came in a maiden at Chelmsford (1m, AW) in September but he's mostly struggled since and failed to beat a rival home at Southwell (1m, AW) last time on his first start for 112 days; now drops to 7f with cheekpieces applied on this return to turf. |
20/1 |

6th 7 (5) |
9th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Got off the mark at Chelmsford (1m) in September but he's been off since turning in a poor sixth there in December; more is required despite a slipping mark. |

2nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Won races for two previous yards and was a close third on debut for current one (1m1f, good to firm); hasn't kicked on from there, including here two runs back when beating one home over 6f; drops into a claimer but these terms aren't easy. |
8/1 |

13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Successful for two previous yards and ran creditably at Ayr on debut for current stable; below par in two starts since but likely found 6f too sharp latest; returns to a more suitable distance. |
10/1 |
|
8th 8 (5) |
27th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
A ready winner at Bath (1m, firm) in April (final start for Stuart Williams); good start for Jennie Candlish when third over 1m1f at Ayr (good to firm) but not in the same form when beaten favourite at Carlisle (1m) ten days later; quite a strong traveller over those trips but whether he has the speed for sprinting remains to be seen. |
10/1 |
Verdict
Tiger Crusade (second choice) should be happier back down in grade but CHAMPION AGAIN OLE can make it 3-3 since being gelded, following a 4lb rise for his Wolverhampton success. Shimmering Spin should appreciate the drop back in trip and Candonomore is interesting with the cheekpieces back on. [Harry March]
