2nd Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 3 |
8st 12lb |
Two wins from six starts since joining Hayley Burton, both over 1m4f on Lingfield Polytrack; dictated the pace on second occasion and he's not been in quite such good form on either start since, albeit with 2m looking a stretch on latest; probably on the premises. |

3rd 5 (7) |
27th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Two wins from five starts since joining Hayley Burton, with both the wins over 1m4f on Lingfield Polytrack (dictated the pace on penultimate start); back to turf for a lesser show on Saturday; while not dismissed due to this new trip, it is a sizeable step in the dark. |

23rd May 2026 Good 1m 4f 5y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Two wins from four starts since joining Hayley Burton, both the victories coming over 1m4f on Lingfield's AW track; should prove just as effective back on turf and he is not fully exposed just yet. |

12th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 70y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Not the force of old (one-time useful Flat handicapper) but has made the frame in two Stratford events since rejoining Shark Hanlon, albeit proved no match for a Skelton-trained 11-10 favourite last time; likely to be a similar story today. |
13/2 |
|
2nd 5 |
30th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 148y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Has reached the frame in both hurdles starts but beaten 34l and 23l in the process; could be one for handicaps in due course but, in a race lacking depth, he may be capable of hitting the frame again. |
7/1 |
|
4th 6 |
16th Jun 2026 Good 2m 2f 148y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Useful Flat racer, albeit on the downgrade now; back with John Hanlon after three-run spell with Mark Loughnane that included a second on Polytrack (1m4f; RPR 88) last month; made underwhelming hurdle debut when well-held third at Worcester (2m, good) last summer but still enters calculations. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
10st 8lb |
1m2f Listed winner here in 2023 but well beaten on his only visit since; no win since a Group 3 in August 2023 but placed in AW/turf handicaps (1m-1m4f) this spring and continues down the weights; needs much better than he produced on last two outings. |
5/1 |
|
5th 1 (9) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Ran poorly last time; generally consistent otherwise this year, over a variety of trips, and may rebound; however, hasn't won for nearly three years and concedes weight all round in this field. |
10/1 |

17th 2 (7) |
12th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
In the frame in eight of his nine starts this year, last time finishing third over 1m1f at Lingfield (good to firm); each-way chance. |

11th Jun 2026 Good 1m 5f 192y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Lightly raced; won over 1m4f here on handicap debut (soft) last October; fair form since and could go well, although he didn't run to his best on only previous try at this trip; hood on for second time. |
2/1 |
|
4th 4 (2) |
12th May 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Fifth in his first two starts on the AW, but has improved since including when making a successful handicap debut at Catterick (1m4f, soft) in October; creditable fourth of 12 on his Thirsk reappearance (1m4f, good) last month (third has won since); could go well in the first-time hood. |
5/1 |

4th 4 (12) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 4f 8y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Made a winning start in handicaps at Catterick (1m4f) in October and not discredited off a 6lb higher mark given he went keenly when fourth at Nottingham (1m6f) in final run; this son of Waldgeist could have more to offer in 2026. |

5th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Well beaten after racing too freely on turf last month but has the hood refitted today and is now only 1lb higher than for narrow C&D win on handicap debut in April; could have a say. |
10/1 |
|
7th 9 (4) |
1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
8st 10lb |
Fell in both hurdle starts, after which he was rerouted to the Flat; made a successful handicap debut at Southwell (1m3f, hooded first time) in April and two runs since have both been respectable; more needed to come out on top in this field. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Four wins from 19 starts, the most recent success coming on the AW at Lingfield in April off a mark 2lb lower than today's; however, he was disappointing back on turf at Salisbury (1m4f, good) last month and needs to bounce back; first-time visor replaces cheekpieces. |
11/1 |

6th 3 (1) |
14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 5y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Has done all her winning at Class 5 level and seemed to get found out off this mark upped to a Class 4 at Lingfield (1m4f AW); she will at least handle conditions, even if they dry out a bit. |
6/1 |
|
6th 6 (8) |
12th May 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Has won her last two starts over C&D 133 days apart; up another 3lb in her hat-trick bid and she has to be taken very seriously. |

5th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Useful on the Flat and ran in last year's Derby; hasn't won a race since but he ran okay to be second on his hurdle debut at Worcester (2m, good) and going up in trip here could suit. |
2/1 |
|
2nd 7 |
17th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Useful on the Flat at his best; has regressed and become inconsistent in this sphere but seemed to respond well to first-time blinkers when third at Brighton (1m4f, good to firm; RPR 79) last month; sports refitted cheekpieces for this hurdling debut; can feature if all goes to plan. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 2 (3) |
29th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 198y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Highly tried after winning Lingfield maiden (AW) in April last year and he bounced back from a swing at the Derby when going close at Thirsk (also 1m4f, good) in July; that form would make him a handicap snip but it's been a real struggle since and blinkers are now reached for; only considered if the market warms to him. |
