17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Good run of form in the spring included successive wins on AW in April and solid second on turf (also 6f wearing eye-shields) in May; not so good subsequently and he couldn't justify a strong market move back on AW a fortnight ago; bit to prove on this drop back to 5f but last time was a step back in the right direction. |
9/1 |

7th 3 (2) |
2nd Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Three-time AW winner, most recently at Lingfield (6f) in April off 2lb lower; well held at Yarmouth on his last two starts but has an excuse three weeks ago (reared leaving the stalls); returning to the AW could suit. |
11/1 |
|
5th 4 (5) |
11th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 42y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
All three wins have come over 6f on the AW including two in April; handles turf, but he has a fair bit to find with Neyva's Angel on their meeting here (6f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; he too may be better over further. |

6th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Sole success came at Lingfield last September off 1lb higher; has ran well in three of his six runs this year, latest when third of five over 5f here last week (first-time cheekpieces, retained); not far away. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 4 (3) |
28th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Ran well for second over 6f here in April; two heavy defeats followed and although he ran a bit better at Lingfield last time, he was over 2l behind Shalaa Asker; now tried in another new form of headgear. |
11/4 |
|
5th 5 (6) |
4th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Maiden; two poor efforts of late, with and without a hood, but he ran well for a long way behind a subsequent winner at Wolverhampton (6f) in April and is worth another go at 5f; first-time blinkers today. |

21st May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Continues to edge down the weights, but 0-16 in handicaps and stamina for this far remains a major concern; finished behind two of these over C&D a fortnight ago; stable also runs Vecchio. |
14/1 |

11th 1 (10) |
7th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Had beaten only one rival home in his first four starts for this stable but he's posted two solid efforts since wearing the hood on its own; down another 2lb and he's an each-way contender. |
8/1 |
|
4th 4 (3) |
23rd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Had beaten only one rival home in his first four starts for this stable but he took a step back in the right direction when third at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) six days ago when wearing the hood on its own (same today); chance. |

15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 195y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Consistent on AW this year and was nudged up only 2lb for his win in refitted cheekpieces at Wolverhampton (7f) a fortnight ago; also suited by turf; respected. |
7/2 |
|
1st 5 (8) |
1st Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Things didn't pan out for him when back over 6f here in April (first-time visor; cheekpieces now refitted) but he has a good C&D record, winning once and close up in all three handicaps; has a good run in him. |
10/1 |
|
4th 8 (1) |
17th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Went close here (7f) on his penultimate run but he's not easy to predict and was well held when favourite at Thirsk (7f, good) last Friday; needs to step up again after that and all of his three wins have been over 7f; first-time visor. |

28th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Four course wins, three of them over this trip, and she's well handicapped on form as recent as March; flopped on turf seven weeks ago but this should be more suitable. |
8/1 |
|
13th 9 (7) |
11th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won here in 2023 and she scored twice at Wolverhampton (7f/6f, AW) last June; good third at Wolverhampton in March but not at the same level there on either start since and she needs to raise her game. |
20/1 |
|
5th 5 (2) |
17th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Her last four wins have been at this track and latest was off 1lb lower over C&D last June; mixed results in three runs this year but she had traffic issues last time and was placed here (6f) on her penultimate run; in the mix. |

16th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Never the slightest threat at Wolverhampton last time but there's nothing wrong with his two previous turf runs which included an unlucky second here; big player off the same mark if on a going day. |
11/2 |
|
8th 9 |
29th May 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Four C&D wins but the latest was back in 2024 and he's struggled a bit here off this sort of mark in recent attempts; has been running well on turf of late, though, and he shouldn't be that far away. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 7 (1) |
22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Made all to win a Class 6 handicap over C&D last month; not so good on his next two starts but returned to his recent best when a close second at Beverley ten days ago; runs off the same mark today and he's ideally drawn to attack; should go well. |

4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Five wins in 2025, including C&D, but rather going through the motions this time around; showed a bit more spark with his front-running sixth at Kempton in May; on a manageable mark and the type to come good again soon. |
12/1 |
|
6th 7 (1) |
6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Four wins in a purple patch in the second half of 2025; now 5lb lower than for his last success but he's struggled at big prices in five runs this year and needs to turn things around; one of two runners for the yard. |
25/1 |
|
7th 7 (3) |
17th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Four wins in a purple patch in the second half of 2025; now 2lb lower than for his last success but he's struggled at big prices in four runs this year and needs to get back on track. |

17th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Scored over C&D in December off 2lb lower and landed his tenth career win at Bath (5f, good) in April; last of eight though over C&D when last seen and vulnerable to younger rivals. |
28/1 |
|
8th 2 (8) |
17th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Ten-time sprint winner who scored at Bath (5f, good) two weeks ago and the quick turnaround may have caused his downfall at Kempton three days later; has claims if he can recapture that penultimate form and his four runs over C&D include a win and two thirds; dangerous. |
7/2 |
|
9th 1 (3) |
8th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Often a front-runner and dual C&D winner who has been in good form lately, including scoring by a neck at Bath (5f, good) on Sunday; has a 4lb penalty for that, but is well drawn to attack and much respected. |
7/2 |
