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. |
7/4 |

1st 5 (1) |
27th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Has modest 1-28 strike-rate (includes five hurdle runs) but was denied a clear run before finishing well for close third over C&D last month and gets another chance off the same mark today; respected. |

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. |

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. |
6/1 |
|
6th 9 |
10th Jun 2026 Good 2m 3f 29y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Hasn't raced much over hurdles and shaped as though this step up in trip will suit when staying on into fourth at Plumpton (2m, good to soft) in March; beaten in low-grade contests on Flat since; place claims. |
14/1 |

10th 7 (6) |
18th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 68y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Course winner who's finished behind Balgowan on the AW here the last twice; closely matched with his old rival on revised terms and looks set to go well again. |

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. |

4th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 47y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Four-time hurdle scorer and has collected three Flat wins this spring (1m6f-2m1f); turned over at very short odds at Yarmouth (1m6f, good to firm) 16 days ago but the emphasis in that three-runner race was more on speed than ideal for a mare who has won over just short of 3m over timber; can show she's still on a good mark back at 2m+. |
11/10 |
|
2nd 1 (2) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 17y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Unexposed on the Flat and she made it 3-3 in turf handicaps with an easy Pontefract (2m1f, good) win ten days ago; a slow start there meant she couldn't dominate as she had at Salisbury and Catterick beforehand; 4lb well in under a penalty; obvious chance. |

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. |
10/1 |

6th 9 (9) |
27th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 6 |

Returns from break on career-low mark but this regressive 9yo is yet to add to his German Group 3 success in 2021 and is difficult to enthuse over. |

17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 1f 208y Class 5 |
8st 8lb |
Made all off 3lb higher here (1m6f) last July; not in the same form this season, including in that same race a fortnight ago, when a long way off the front pair; needs more. |
7/1 |

3rd 6 (6) |
4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Made all in a six-runner renewal of this race last year off a 1lb higher mark (good to firm); not in the same form this time, but this may well have been the target and she ought to fare much better. |

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

23rd Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 4 |

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. |
