11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Arrives in top form after a 7f win at Kempton and two second places over 6f; hard to knock and should be thereabouts. |

2nd 2 (6) |
9th Jun 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Unraced on soft; 2-14 on the AW (wins over 7f) compared to 0-11 on turf but it was a good effort when second of ten at Newmarket (6f, good) 24 days ago; contender if handling conditions. |

Runner-up three times in a row over 7f on AW in the winter and returned to form with a win at Kempton (7f, AW) last month; unproven over 6f and 0-10 on turf, but placed on grass a few times and is not ruled out. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Reliable sort (on turf and AW) who won twice last summer and was runner-up in March/April on his last two outings; stable has struck often enough this summer for him to be given a close look despite this new track. |

9st 7lb |
Has done most of his racing over 7f, winning six times (all on AW); back in form with placed efforts on last two starts, latest at Kempton; close third at this venue in sole 1m attempt; again has an each-way shout. |
7/1 |

3rd 6 (5) |
8th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Last 11 AW starts have been on Tapeta (231115111852), but he was beaten less than a length into third of 14 on his last visit here (1m); back up 1lb for his latest second of 12 at Southwell (7f)), but still 1lb below his last winning mark; respected. |
6/1 |

2nd 7 (12) |
21st Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Won six times on Tapeta (twice over C&D) in first half of 2025, despite his tendency to race too freely; back on a good mark now and bettered a low-key reappearance run when respectable fifth over C&D ten days ago but outside draw a negative today. |

22nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Small-field 6f affair not ideal last time and this is a bit easier back in the visor for the first time this season; last summer's easy Epsom win off 4lb lower (made all) showed he's at home round switchback tracks and he's one to consider. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 4 (2) |
30th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Has done his winning, and a lot of his racing, over 7f; didn't get the breaks back down to 6f last time following a fair AW comeback, and he's capable of going well off this mark. |
6/1 |

11th 10 (17) |

Back to his best with a front-running 7f win at Epsom last August; creditable fourth to Arantes Nascimento on his return to action last month; not much room for manoeuvre off this mark and he is yet to win at 6f. |

9st 2lb |
Ridden more patiently than usual when gaining a second success of 2026 over C&D in June and backed it up with a very good second of ten in 7f Thirsk handicap three days ago; a player off an unchanged mark. |

2nd 1 (10) |
1st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
He has run a string of good races in 2026, winning for the second time when comfortably seeing off five rivals at Beverley (7.4f, good) last week; that effort was backed up by the Topspeed figure and he can't be discounted under a 5lb penalty. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Has modest 1-17 strike-rate but he's pretty consistent and his win was gained over C&D on good to firm ground (just under a year ago); finished well for second at Leicester (6f, good) last month and this step back up in trip is an obvious move; high on the list. |
5/2 |

2nd 3 (6) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Sole win from 16 starts came at Epsom (7f, good to firm) last July; went close at Southwell (7f, AW) in April and did best of those ridden prominently when eighth of 22 at York (7f, good) three weeks ago; this drop back in trip shouldn't inconvenience him and he's considered. |
6/1 |

8th 13 (12) |
23rd May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
15 races for one win, at Epsom (7f, good to firm; from 9lb lower) last July; faced 7f on AW for last four starts, with career-best form in two close calls, the latest under Mikkel Mortensen at Southwell late last month but today's stronger race for return to turf surely demands better still. |

6-31 on AW, four of those wins gained over C&D and the most recent a ready success from a 1lb lower mark last December; failed to settle on outer when only eighth of 12 (Jersey Maverick sixth, State of Madness ninth) at Kempton three weeks ago; others arrive in better form. |

13th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 3 |

Last four wins have been gained over C&D at Class 5 or lower, and tonight's would be the highest banded handicap he has taken in to date; drop back from 1m rates a plus, but clear career best likely required. |

Not had a lot of luck with one thing and another lately and won't mind going back up to an easy 7f as he bids to take his course record to 3-3; higher in the weights than when twice winning easily here for Tom Clover last backend but he's respected. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Three 6f wins towards the end of last year (including on good to soft/good to firm); took a step back in the right direction when third of seven at Southwell (7f, AW) last time and may be able to build on that run today; each-way possibilities. |

9st 6lb |
Gained a first win at Windsor (6f) in September but she has failed to build on it since handicapping, ninth of 11 over 7f here 16 days ago; mark is falling but she still needs to take a big step forward. |

21st May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 16y Class 5 |

Sprung a surprise in a soft-ground Windsor maiden last September; no impact in handicaps since but the ground has been good to firm back on turf on her last two starts and today's conditions should be a bit closer to those which she encountered when winning; no shock were she to bounce back to form with a bang. |

Fine on Tapeta but all his wins have come on Polytrack, including twice last spring at Chelmsford; still dangerous when dipping into this company but he's unpredictable now and 7f round here is enough of a test. |

8th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Capable on his day and 1lb below his last winning mark, but now at the veteran stage and recent form has an uneven look to it; others more compelling. |

10th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |

Two C&D wins; has been racing over 7f, a rival forcing a dead-heat off this mark at Chelmsford last May, but he had won over 6f there last March; finished a fair runner-up when making the running again here last month but likely more needed for the win. |
