18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Not the force of old but gained his fifth success, at Kempton (1m, AW) in May; beaten 4l at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) last month in an 18-runner contest but this smaller field should play to his strengths (all five wins have been in races with less than ten runners). |

9th 7 (5) |
14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 213y Class 6 |

Has a better strike-rate on AW than on turf but went close in most recent attempt in this sphere; scored at Kempton (1m) last time; may well remain competitive. |

1st 3 (8) |
6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Triple AW winner who showed signs of a revival at Wolverhampton in March and he went close back on turf at Nottingham (8.3f, good) last month; 2lb higher here but he was a well-backed favourite last time and he remains very well treated on old form; big player. |

15th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Inconsistent filly who has raced mainly on AW; posted one of her better efforts when close third in Class 6 at Kempton (1m) last week but isn't guaranteed to back up the form. |

3rd 6 (3) |

Won a 7f maiden here last May but she's 0-8 since and has form figures of 8000879 in handicaps; continues to drop down the weights but she needs a major revival. |

29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Pretty consistent since the cheekpieces returned in November and the three wins in that period include 11-runner race at Brighton (1m, good to firm) last time; back up another 2lb and has to be considered. |
11/4 |
|
1st 4 (6) |
29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 216y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Dual AW scorer who picked up the second of those wins at Kempton (1m) in March; two solid AW runs followed and he should be fine back on turf, having placed in a course classified (1m, good to firm) in July; player. |

6th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Goes well here; all four AW wins have been over C&D; third over C&D last month but below his best at Bath since; looks sure to go close at his favoured track. |
14/1 |
|
8th 6 (10) |
13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
His last four wins have come on AW at Wolverhampton; six C&D runs have yielded formfigures of 243234; third at Wolverhampton 12 days ago (for today's rider) and he should be in the thick of the action once again. |
4/1 |

3rd 10 (2) |
1st Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Three-time C&D winner, latterly off 4lb higher in February; fine on Polytrack but the return here is an obvious plus off a career-low mark and he's another with claims in an open handicap. |

4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |
8st 4lb |
Popped up at a big price in a busy finish on Tapeta (1m) last month but she didn't hit the same level when fourth at Chepstow (1m, good; 5-2 favourite) last time; that wasn't a bad effort but she needs to find more back up in trip; 1lb out of the weights. |
5/1 |
|
4th 10 (10) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Inconsistent filly who popped up at a big price in a busy finish on Tapeta a fortnight ago; there can't be any complaints about a 2lb rise but history suggests she's no certainty to repeat the dose. |
6/1 |
|
1st 14 (1) |
2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Sole win from 12 came in the mud at Ffos Las (1m, heavy) last September; didn't offer much in her first three starts this year, and only a smidgen more when sixth of nine at Kempton (1m; 28-1, beaten 3l) four weeks ago. |

Has enjoyed a good year with four wins, two of them over C&D; last two efforts leave her with a bit to prove, though. |
14/1 |

12th 2 (11) |
23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Hardy mare who landed four races on AW (1m to 9.5f) between February and April; also a previous four-time winner on turf but this is just her second crack at 1m2f on her 111th start; still not discounted. |
12/1 |

7th 4 (5) |
6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
9yo who has won four times since February including twice over C&D; held in third when unpenalised at Wolverhampton last time but she wasn't beaten far and that was another creditable effort; should be in the mix again off 3lb higher. |

Has lots of Kempton form but she's been out of sorts over C&D in last three runs and her last win was two years ago; opposable. |

2nd Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Left Andrew Balding's yard (still runs in his colours) after two encouraging runs in early 2025; poor form this year and opposable despite his basement mark. |

7th 9 (3) |
6th Jun 2026 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

Seven-race maiden; had excuse when well-beaten 50-1 shot on last month's stable debut (saddle slipped) but his headstrong tendencies remains a serious worry. |
33/1 |
|
9th 7 (1) |
6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Unexposed 4yo but he's generally struggled so far and was tailed off in a C&D handicap (40-1) in March; dropped another 5lb but he's with another new yard now and has plenty to prove; first-time hood replaces cheekpieces. |
