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. |

13th Oct 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Won 1m4f Lingfield classified for Pat Phelan in first-time blinkers in August and ran well from the front when third in Brighton handicap (1m4f, good to firm) a week ago; holds each-way claims again. |
12/1 |

4th 3 (7) |
3rd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Not beaten far a couple of times over C&D early in the year and the switch to first-time blinkers did the trick over 1m4f here a fortnight ago; that was only a 0-50 classified event but this isn't the strongest of handicaps. |

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. |

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 Sep 2026 Heavy 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Close second in 1m4f classified here (good to soft) in June and third off today's mark in handicap over that trip here (good) last month but may not be ideally suited by the slower conditions today; connections' other runner appeals more. |
8/1 |

3rd 5 (7) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 209y Class 6 |

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. |

1st Oct 2026 Good 2m 1f 208y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Capitalised on a reduced mark at 33-1 at Lingfield (2m, AW) in August; well beaten at Ripon since but on soft going; won here (1m6f, good to firm) last July and she's not ruled out now back on better ground. |
8/1 |

4th 6 (3) |
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. |

12th Sep 2026 Good 2m 1f 24y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Won on the Flat (2m, good to firm) and over hurdles (2m2f, good) last summer but he's been tailed off in all completed starts under both codes this year; has a lot to prove and he needs a major revival back on the Flat. |
25/1 |

7th 7 |
5th Sep 2026 Good 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Won this 12 months ago but has never been straightforward and has done nothing this year under either code. |
