18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 23y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Not straightforward but he won at Lingfield (1m2f, good) last month and backed it up with a good second of four over C&D three weeks ago; should remain competitive. |

2nd 2 (1) |
28th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 23y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Polytrack winner for Sir Mark Prescott in January; two good runs to start off his time with Joseph Parr and he took a step forward when seeing off seven rivals at Lingfield (1m2f, good) ten days ago; this is tougher under a penalty but he did well to overcome a slow start last time and he's still unexposed on turf; respected. |

Not at his best last time but on the up previously and neither trip nor ground will be a concern; each-way shout. |
12/1 |

23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Progressive 4yo who scored on seasonal debut at Doncaster (1m2f, good to soft) and has gone close on last two appearances; drew nicely clear of the others with next-time-out winner at Goodwood (1m4f, good to soft) last month and is only 2lb higher here (due to go up another 2lb soon) but needs to prove himself on the faster ground. |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 3f 218y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
1m2f might be his trip but this far is worth exploring and he went close at Lingfield last time (good) despite starting slowly; very at home on soft ground and has won here; respected. |

24th Aug 2026 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Keen-going front-runner who landed a second Epsom victory (also a C&D winner) when showing the right attitude to get back up late last month; won back-to-back races last summer and no surprise to see history repeat itself upped a fair 2lb. |
5/1 |

1st 6 (5) |
30th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 17y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Placed off 3lb higher at Lingfield (1m2f, good) on seasonal/stable debut in May but not quite in same form on any of three subsequent outings, the last twice here (1m2f/8.5f); needs to up his game. |
11/2 |
|
5th 4 (9) |
16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 113y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Front-runner; latest win was under Mason Paetel here (1m2f) early last July for Ed Dunlop; 4lb lower today but that's after he went off the boil and there's been only a partial revival for new yard this year, finishing sixth of nine here last time in the race he won last year; the last time he raced over a trip this short was May 2025. |

2nd Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Has competitive course form, including a respectable fourth over the extended 7f in June; this is more his trip but he needs to bounce back from two forgettable runs at 1m4f (here) and 9.4f (AW). |
16/1 |

6th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |

Scored over C&D in December but all of his other wins have came on turf; exposed and others may have more in their lockers. |

7th 3 (7) |
27th Jun 2026 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
His five wins include two here, the second over this trip on fast ground in May 2024; versatile, though, for his latest win was over 1m1f at Goodwood last month (good to soft) and last run was when fourth over 7.5f here (soft); chance back up in trip. |

29th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 209y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Did not progress after last September's AW novice win but looked back in good nick when cosily exploiting much-reduced mark at Nottingham (1m2f, good to firm) this month; this race is much stronger but a 3lb rise ought to be manageable if she's in similar form again. |
8/1 |

1st 1 (5) |
4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won a small-field novice at Southwell (1m, AW) last September, but she's found things tough since including in four handicaps (1m-1m3f) this season; continues to drop down the weights but she needs to raise her game back up in trip; hood reapplied. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Won at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) last month for Jack Morland and, following a 22,000gns sale, he was back with his former yard when following up in 15-runner race at Ascot (upped to 1m4f, good to firm; always close up) four weeks ago; back up another 7lb but his peak 2024 form (a win on good to soft here) was better still; on the shortlist. |
6/1 |

1st 2 (6) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Won twice in 2024 for Jane Chapple-Hyam; spent a year with Jack Morland and got off the mark for him at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) 19 days ago; sold again for 22,000gns one day later and this is his first run back with his former yard; back up 4lb and not proven beyond an extended 1m2f (unraced over this far); tongue-tie and headgear worn for his last yard is removed; quite a few questions, but peak 2024 form was a bit better. |

5th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Won over hurdles last December (2m); reverted to the Flat in May and was beaten just a neck at Ffos Las (1m4f, good to soft) last month on his second start back, when 7l clear of the third; there's every chance that this trip will be within range and he should again be involved. |

2nd 2 (5) |
4th Jun 2026 Good 1m 3f 209y Class 5 |

18th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |

Both wins, including one over hurdles, came in a hood, which is absent as he returns from wind surgery after three months off; had plenty of chances off this sort of mark last year. |

18th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Running consistently off his higher AW mark (almost a stone lower on turf), including for new yard five weeks ago; has only gone beyond 1m once before, though, and the longer trip on grass is the double concern. |
8/1 |

7th 8 (8) |
14th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Tapeta win early last year came off 5lb lower and he's looked to find this mark just beyond him this season; needs a career-best effort for his new yard, having been picked up from Brian Meehan recently for £12,500. |
10/1 |
|
4th 5 (3) |
24th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Just one win to his name from 16 attempts but he has run well in two of his three starts this year, including C&D; that said, he wouldn't appear to have much in hand of his mark. |
