5th 4 (8) |
15th Jul 2026 Firm 1m 3f 137y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Triple course winner over 1m-1m2f, including on firm; placed elsewhere over 1m4f; 1lb higher than when winning a 0-60 here last month; claims if repeating that effort but has a bit to prove after his last three starts. |
7/1 |
|
6th 2 (2) |
30th Jun 2026 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Front-runner who has won three times at Bath (1m/1m2f) since the start of last month, but he didn't get home when fourth of nine over C&D (good to firm) nine days ago; may not face too much competition up front so could still be dangerous. |
9/2 |
|
4th 4 (1) |
21st Jun 2026 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Front-runner; modest overall strike-rate but not in recent weeks having won three of his last five races, all victories at Bath (1m-1m2f); still on a fair mark and good to soft ground was a feasible excuse at Chepstow last Monday. |

8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Has seven wins and usually at his peak in the summer months but below his best at Bath on his last two starts; others preferred. |
25/1 |
|
8th 7 (7) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Dual C&D winner who traditionally peaks in the summer; showed enough in three runs over 1m round Bath in the spring to suggest he's still up to winning at this level if he gets one of his better starts and the race pans out his way. |
20/1 |
|
9th 12 (10) |
22nd May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
All of his seven wins have been over shorter trips but he produced a strong finish when a 2l second over C&D (good) 18 days ago; on unchanged mark and has possibilities if he can find some extra spark. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Four of his seven wins have come over C&D; successful off this mark at Wolverhampton in March but not in the same form in four runs since; others look more persuasive. |
12/1 |
|
7th 7 (2) |
29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Won off reduced mark at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) in March and has remained in good form since; only faded out of contention in closing stages when fifth over C&D (good to soft; behind Too Much Trevor and Connie's Rose) last week and ought to be better suited by today's faster ground; one to consider. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Infrequent winner; did score over C&D last July off a 3lb higher mark though and his latest Ffos Las second (7.3f, good) was a sound run; each-way shout. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 5 (7) |
30th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 80y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Infrequent winner who was again turned over as favourite when never happy behind Prince Ali last time; wants a good test over this trip these days and others make greater appeal. |
5/1 |

5th 5 (3) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has plenty of form over C&D including two wins; losing run up to 18, but he has never raced down at this level before so can't be dismissed by any means; stable also runs Sorted. |
5/1 |
|
6th 2 (4) |
13th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Has done all his winning at about 1m, including four times at Bath; has bits of 1m2f form but doesn't look the percentage call; losing run is mounting up. |
8/1 |
|
5th 6 (2) |
4th May 2026 Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
10st 9lb |
Four C&D wins on good or slower (handles good to firm, not at best in one run on firm); not at his best this year but that is reflected in his much-reduced mark; risky but not impossible. |

4th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 173y Class 6 |
10st 4lb |
Both wins came under a 7lb claimer in Ireland and it wasn't a bad effort under Ruby Criscuolo when beaten a shade over 2l at Southwell (1m3f, AW) in May; moderate fourth at Pontefract on Monday, however, which took his record to 0-15 for this yard. |
9/1 |
|
4th 8 (7) |
29th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Has performed respectably in last two attempts under Evie Lee, finishing third both times, including latest start; however, continues on a long losing run, partly exemplified by being 0-14 for current stable. |
14/1 |
|
3rd 6 (2) |
21st Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Strike-rate of 2-46, with the wins in Ireland during the autumn of 2023; not beaten far in his last two completed starts in 1m2f/1m3f handicaps; back at 1m here, he looks very vulnerable to this week's two winners. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
In good form over 1m last month, winning here (soft) before solid placed efforts both here and at Ffos Las; drops back to 7f and probably needs to improve for it. |
10/1 |
|
2nd 4 (8) |
23rd Jun 2026 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Had a favourable track position when scoring at Chepstow (1m, soft) but came up shy back there off this 2lb higher mark when ridden by Charlie Tucker; only 2-34 but he should at least give his running. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 9 (11) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Made the most of his rail draw (he's landed the top stall again today) when winning under Zoe Lewis (rides Homeland today) over C&D on soft ground nine days ago; this race looks a bit deeper but he's only 2lb higher. |

4th May 2026 Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
10st 7lb |
He made a winning handicap debut in June 2024 (7f, good); mixed record since and his Brighton second last September was the only real bright spot in 2025; chance if returning at that level but it is not assured. |
10/1 |
|
5th 8 (12) |
15th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 216y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Sole win was 15 months ago but that was off 7lb higher and he returned to form with a near-miss over C&D last time; has leading claims if he can back that up but best form has been on good/good to firm and it would be a worry if the ground is testing. |
13/2 |
|
2 (2) |
1st Sep 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 216y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Began this season with two disappointing efforts but his fourths at Salisbury (7f, good to firm) and Goodwood (1m1f, good) last month were very respectable; drops in grade and features prominently in calculations. |

2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 50y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Slow starts can be an issue and he couldn't get into it when sixth at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) recently, but it wasn't a bad run and before that he was second at Newbury (1m, good); the step back up in trip may help and he might not be far away; the visor (worn on last two runs) is left off. |
7/1 |
|
6th 10 (11) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Completely missed the break but showed best form since last July when second at Newbury (1m, good) in this first-time headgear combination under Oliver Carmichael one month ago; 1lb nudge still leaves him below his winning mark and he needs considering. |

15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
10st 12lb |
Trainer-jockey combination won this last year and this gelding is on a career-low mark (won for Brodie Hampson last June off 9lb higher); needs to bounce back from a few poor efforts, though, and may just be on the downgrade now; headgear comes off. |
10/1 |

12th 10 (10) |
11th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
7lb lower than for his Newbury win last summer; second of 11 at Lingfield (1m, AW) last month but that has been followed by two heavy defeats; comes with risks attached. |

10th 1 (6) |
4th May 2026 Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

16th Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |

Couple of absences in recent times and he has regressed (well drawn when faring better in a soft-ground handicap last time); goes well here, though, and holds each-way claims. |
12/1 |
|
4th 4 (7) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Both wins came on AW in 2023 when trained by Richard Hughes; has gone into freefall since and was last of 11 at Bath last month. |
12/1 |
|
11th 4 (9) |
4th May 2026 Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
10st 11lb |
Well handicapped on last season's best forrm (AW) but he ended the year with a whimper and returns from a 135-day break with an inexperienced amateur booked. |
