18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Small fields suit this free-going mare, as do sharp, flat tracks; perhaps on a fairly tough mark after coming up short last time but shouldn't be far away. |

2nd 1 |
19th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Free-going mare whose latest game, dominating Fakenham success took her record to 3-5 in 2m contests there; 3lb rise doesn't look prohibitive, but a best RPR of 81 going right-handed versus 104 anticlockwise tempers greater confidence. |

31st May 2026 Good 2m 0f 3y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Free-going front-runner who won twice over C&D last season (soft/good to soft), both times by wide margins in modest mares' races; probably went off too hard when well beaten at Huntingdon last month but steadied the ship with respectable Flat run 24 days ago; sure to be suited by return to this track but stiil needs to prove she can cope with a mark this high. |

19th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
His second in the 2024 Derby is feeling pretty distant now and on latest outing he was second of four in a handicap hurdle at Fakenham; hooded throughout that hurdles campaign and sometimes on Flat, but that is now replaced by cheekpieces; this is also his first ever Flat handicap. |
33/1 |

2nd 2 |
31st May 2026 Good 2m 0f 3y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Smart 3yo on the Flat; just 1-5 over hurdles, and his habit of racing far too freely remains a worry, but he wasn't beaten far in a valuable novices' handicap at Sandown (2m, good) last month and is in much calmer waters here. |
11/10 |

25th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 216y Class 2 |
11st 2lb |
Showed smart Flat form as a 3yo; managed to win in December but has otherwise broadly been too free for his own good since switched to hurdles; ideally needs to settle better. |

15th Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Four-time hurdle winner (2m-extended 2m4f); has returned from a break with two solid Flat seconds but disappointed over hurdles at Fakenham in May in between; player if back to his best. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 4 (2) |
18th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 68y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won twice over hurdles (2m/2m4f, good) and twice on the Flat in 2025; looked as good as ever when second on the Flat over C&D (AW) last month, after a break, and is respected. |

15th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
1-20 over hurdles; bounced back from heavy 2m defeat (wore visor) with respectable fourth at Cartmel (2m6f, good; no headgear) last month and remains unexposed over this sort of trip but others appeal more. |
12/1 |

4th 4 |
26th Jun 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Has the form to get in contention but she had a shocker when tailed off in a first-time visor at Fakenham; regularly worn cheekpieces but now goes without any headgear. |
