11th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
C&D winner; five wins since joining Tony Carroll, including turf handicaps in two of his last three starts; should give his running once again but may prove vulnerable for win purposes. |
6/1 |
|
1st 7 (3) |
25th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |
8st 7lb |
Nine wins on AW; scored at Bath on penultimate outing but is only 2-23 on turf and latest effort confirms that marks in the 80s are probably beyond him, at least nowadays, in this sphere. |
11/2 |
|
3rd 1 (4) |
25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Has a better strike-rate on AW than turf but he's capable of useful 6f form on grass and made short work of his rivals at Bath (extended 5f, good) last week; now 6lb higher but this mark isn't beyond him on past exploits; would have welcomed rain but still considered. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
8yo whose losing run goes back 18 races to July 2024 but he's often run well in the meantime, including on his last two starts; each-way player. |
7/1 |
|
4th 7 (5) |
5th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Last of four wins came in July 2024, but has been runner-up twice over C&D this year, latest on firm ten days ago; likes to hear his feet rattle and if the ground is in his favour then he would come into this. |
9/2 |

26th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |

Won three times in 2024 but unable to add to his haul since; retains ability but perhaps vulnerable for win purposes once more. |

10th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 110y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Course win (5f, good) last July; arrives in top form, winning Class 5 events at Bath and Newbury (5f, firm and good to firm) this summer; 2lb rise shouldn't prevent another bold bid. |
5/1 |
|
1st 1 (2) |
1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 34y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Ran twice over C&D last summer and performed with great credit on both occasions, finishing second to Faustus in July and filling the same position one month later; career-best effort when winning at Bath last week (5f, firm); penalty demands more but he can't be discounted. |
7/2 |
|
1st 2 (5) |
26th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Four-time AW winner who broke his turf duck at Chester last July off a 2lb lower mark (5f, good); two respectable efforts here this spring and Finley Marsh replaces an apprentice today; a big run is on the cards. |

15th Jul 2026 Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Made all at Salisbury (6f, good) in May; unplaced on next two starts but he was a close fifth of seven at Ffos Las most recently and he ran well over C&D last August on firm ground; might not be far away. |
6/1 |
|
5th 3 (4) |
23rd Jun 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Multiple winner who made all at Salisbury last month (6f, good) and was ridden differently when never involved at Catterick; had no penalty last time and now 5lb higher, but if returned to positive tactics the ground won't be an excuse. |
8/1 |
|
7th 6 (7) |
21st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
7-43; took full advantage of an easing mark to gain his third Salisbury win when making all (6f apprentices', good) last week; escapes a penalty, and Jake Dickson is able to claim his 7lb allowance, so his chance is an obvious one; clearly the one to beat if in the same kind of form. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Multiple course winner, the latest last September (6f, soft) off a 1lb lower mark; she has run some solid races in defeat this year but consistency has been an issue and others appeal more in today's field. |
6/1 |
|
4th 6 (1) |
30th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Seven-time winner at Chepstow and finished a solid second, splitting subsequent winners, there last time; has form over this C&D and warrants respect up just 1lb. |
9/4 |
|
2nd 2 (1) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 16y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Seven-time course winner (4-12 over this trip); has been running over 7f of late but should be all right with the return to 5f and is back at the right sort of level off her last winning mark; enters calculations. |

29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Won comfortably after travelling strongly at Leicester (6f, good to firm) last month but he's not hit the same level in two subsequent runs; ran respectably back at Leicester last time but he needs to find more to get back on the scoresheet. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 2 (7) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Won comfortably after travelling strongly over this C&D (good to firm) last month but his jockey reported he never travelled when fourth of nine under a penalty at Salisbury (6f, good) 30 days ago; now 2lb higher but he can't be dismissed. |

22nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Triple course winner who scored at Wolverhampton in March and she's gone close back at this track (5f/5,6f, firm) in last two runs; only 1lb higher than for her runner-up effort three weeks ago and she should make another bold bid. |
15/8 |
|
2nd 1 (6) |
29th Apr 2026 Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Triple C&D winner (good to firm/firm) who won on her reappearance at Wolverhampton (5f, AW) last month; bounced back from a lesser effort with a good run here over 5f on Monday; leading contender. |
5/2 |
|
4th 2 (4) |
27th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |

20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Both wins have been on AW over 6f, latest at Wolverhampton last month on his second start for this stable; flopped when favourite on his return to turf at Bath (5.5f, good) a week later and may be worth another chance back on AW. |
7/2 |
|
8th 1 (9) |
17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Won at Southwell for Mick Appleby in December and he made it 2-4 in cheekpieces with a dominant display at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) last week; record of 0-7 on turf but he ran well in big-field handicap at York last summer and he's a major player if he can transfer his progress back to this sphere; respected under a penalty. |
5/2 |
|
1st 6 (6) |
10th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Took well to first-time cheekpieces when opening his account in December Southwell handicap; spoiled the follow-up attempt by racing too freely and subsequently left Mick Appleby for 30,000gns; had excuses when fair fifth on stable debut at Chelmsford (also 6f; Supreme King third, Lazzar behind) a fortnight ago and might emerge best of that trio this time. |

13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Majority of her turf wins have come at Bath and Chepstow, most recently when making all on the former track in June, but she's a C&D winner too (good to firm) and she lost her chance early when back on this course 16 days ago; on a career-high mark but not ruled out. |
10/1 |

7th 7 (2) |
27th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |

C&D scorer who got back to winning ways when making all in 5.5f handicap at Bath 22 days ago; has a career-high mark to overcome now but can't be ruled out. |

1st 2 (4) |
5th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |

Very well handicapped on last summer's exploits but he's been a long way below that level this year and a major turnaround is needed. |

5th 1 (3) |
23rd Jun 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Won two 6f handicaps on good ground last summer when with Hugo Palmer; quiet in two runs for current yard (cheekpieces then a visor) and soft ground might not be what he wants. |

8th 1 (9) |
14th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Won at Thirsk (6f, good) last June before following up at Chester (6f, good) a week later; well beaten in the Ayr Bronze Cup on his final start for Hugo Palmer and he beat only one rival home at Bath on his stable debut 27 days ago; visor back on (replacing cheekpieces worn last time). |

25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Can lead; smart 2yo who began 3yo season on a mark of 102; has shown just humdrum form in three turf handicaps, despite a sliding mark, and was way back behind Justcallmepete at Bath last week; has it to prove now. |
10/1 |

11th 5 (5) |
17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Both wins were on turf in 2024 but he's well treated on old form and has run respectably on Tapeta (5f/6f) in last two starts; can make the running and it wouldn't be a surprise if he made a bold bid back in this sphere. |
6/1 |
|
4th 5 (8) |
2nd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Having tumbled down the weights there were signs of a possible revival when keeping on for third in a 5f handicap at Wolverhampton last week (attracted support); Rossa Ryan retains the ride and today's return to 6f won't be an issue; can't discount. |
