8th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 6 |
10st 1lb |
Won over C&D in April and he's finished second in both runs since including a close call at Kempton (2m; cheekpieces reapplied) in June; only 1lb higher here and he's a big player again back at this track. |
5/1 |

2nd 3 (7) |
29th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Simply bumped into one on a rare turf start six weeks ago and returns to Polytrack off the same mark; cheekpieces go on for the first time in almost a year and his claims are obvious. |
6/4 |

2nd 5 (4) |
18th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 68y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Has resumed in good form and a 2lb rise for his recent AW win here under Ashley Lewis seems fair; has yet to win on turf (only run on it once since 2023) but otherwise has a decent chance of following up. |

13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 24y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Three good runs at Lingfield this year, including a 1m4f classified win; not at her best here three weeks ago (1m6f, good to firm) but this is weak and she is one to consider. |
100/30 |
|
4th 8 (9) |
22nd May 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
17 races, finishing well in a 1m4f classified at Lingfield (AW) in March for her only win; second there off today's mark at same track (2m) last time was her best form under Flat rules and she has some turf form in the bumper and hurdle spheres; not entirely ruled out on Flat turf debut. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 7 (8) |
27th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Finished well for narrow win in 1m4f classified here last month, opening her account on 15th start under all codes; soundly beaten in Wolverhampton handicap over that trip since but could plausibly have untapped potential over 2m on the Flat. |

18th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Placed in a couple of handicaps earlier this year but beaten 25l and 13l on last two Flat starts; has another change of headgear with blinkers replacing a visor but has plenty to prove. |
11/2 |
|
11th 5 (5) |
13th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Well beaten on latest Flat start in May (2m, turf) but has been placed in two AW handicaps here this year (1m4f/2m) and didn't run badly over hurdles last month; swaps cheekpieces for first-time visor; more appealing than most. |

31st May 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Low-mileage 4yo who arrives in good form, third of seven in 1m4f handicap at Doncaster 15 days ago; not out of things in his bid for a maiden victory. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 3 (3) |
16th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 197y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Form figures of 323 in maiden/novice events but he's been well held in four handicaps; may have had stamina issues over 2m at Lingfield (AW) last month but he needs to raise his game on this big drop back in trip. |
7/2 |
|
4th 2 (5) |
27th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Low-mileage 4yo; safely held in first three handicaps (1m-1m2f) but this big hike up in trip is an interesting move; cheekpieces removed after one use; well worth a glance in the bettting. |

14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Won three in a row in a visor this spring (1m6f-2m1f, good to firm/good) but she's been well held in last three runs and was a long way behind An Bradan Feasa at Lingfield 13 days ago; visor returns and blinkers are removed. |
12/1 |

3rd 3 (3) |
1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 68y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Won three in a row in a visor this spring (1m6f-2m1f, good to firm/good) but recent efforts suggest the handicapper may have her measure now; tried in blinkers here; needs to kick on again. |
7/2 |
|
4th 5 (6) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Completed a top-of-the-ground hat-trick this year (1m6f-2m1f) and remains in good form, as a tactical race wouldn't have suited at Yarmouth and she was never ideally positioned after starting slowly last time (finished 8.5l behind the winner); another to consider. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 209y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Far too inconsistent to rely upon heavily but lost out only narrowly to Buck Barrow when clear second in C&D classified (good to soft) in June and is 1lb better off with that rival today. |

2nd 1 (3) |
4th Jun 2026 Good 1m 3f 209y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
A regressive 9yo who last won in 2021, a 1m4f Group 3 in Germany; well beaten after a break and probably wants 2m ideally. |

1st Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Last year's winner (Jack Nicholls aboard); had struggled thereafter until springing a 33-1 surprise on AW at Lingfield (2m; from 3lb lower) a fortnight ago; no issues with good to soft/soft, so she has to enter the reckoning. |
7/2 |

1st 4 (1) |
17th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Well handicapped on her Ripon win (2m, good to firm) last August but she's not made an impact in six runs this season; wasn't far behind Le Rouge Chinois at Yarmouth (1m6f) last time but she needs to find more back up in trip. |
10/1 |
|
5th 5 (4) |
5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 17y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
An infrequent winner but hasn't had a lot of racing since defying an 8lb higher mark over 2m at Ripon last August (good to firm); ran poorly when tried in blinkers once before (usually sports cheekpieces); Saffie Osborne rides but this filly has some questions to answer at present. |

30th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 6 |

23rd Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Out of form over a range of trips for new stable this spring (five runs; including one on the Flat); drops back to 2m after 42l defeat over 2m7f in refitted cheekpieces (retained) ten days ago; revival needed. |
