28th Jul 2026 Good 1m 3f 209y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Has done a lot of his racing at 1m and has often pulled hard when going further, including in the hood (back on tonight; tongue-tie comes off) but does stay this far; not much room for manoeuvre off this mark and needs to leave two lesser efforts behind. |
20/1 |

8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Returned to winning ways when scoring over C&D (good) last month off 4lb lower; raced too freely at Ffos Las two days later and may be worth considering back at his last winning venue. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 5 (5) |
17th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Placed three times from four starts here but his regular hunting ground is Bath and he scored there (1m, heavy) off 5lb lower wearing a new hood/tongue-tie combination in October; kept to that track until the hood was removed in ten-runner handicap at Chepstow (1m, good) on Monday when he saw it well to score under Mason Paetel; carries 4lb penalty but won't mind what the weather does; player. |

15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Useful as 2yo but hard to place since and remains a maiden; found his level again of late and would be suited by ground softer than good, having been inclined to lug left round Bath the last twice; shortlisted. |
3/1 |
|
3rd 3 (5) |
29th Apr 2026 Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
18-race maiden but he returned to some form when third of 13 over this C&D 24 days ago, albeit he didn't help his chance by hanging left; may be able to build on that. |
9/4 |

3rd 3 (8) |
5th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Highly tried on occasion by Ben Brookhouse and regressed sharply last year prior to being sold for £5,000 in October; big prices and well held in four AW runs for this yard, which also saddles Havana Club; hard to latch on to unless there's been market support behind him. |

Got back on song for his new yard with third of ten in 1m Chepstow handicap 23 days ago; no forlorn hope off an easing mark. |
11/1 |
|
3rd 1 (8) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has done most racing, and gained all his wins, in sprints, apparently not seeing it out in a few runs over 7f; having a first run in a 0-55 but has regressed this year and stamina would have to be a concern. |
10/1 |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |

A fair 6f scorer for Tony Carroll but largely below par this season for his present handler, 13th of 14 in 6f Windsor handicap two weeks ago; others are preferred. |

28th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 23y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Both wins over 1m, at Ffos Las (heavy) last September and at Newcastle (AW) last month; finished second of six at Nottingham (1m2f, good to firm) this month and she is one for the shortlist off the same mark. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 6 (2) |
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. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |

Has three course wins over 1m but has found it tougher going this year; slowly easing in the weights but dropping back to 7f is not enough to tempt. |

15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |

Record over C&D reads 1112; getting on and has not been at his best this year but this task is easier, down in class having been dropped another 2lb; ought to fare much better. |

April's C&D handicap win reads well; not in the same form since but returning to classified company, where she's 1-2, should help. |

6th 6 (9) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |

Couple of valid excuses since a Bath win in the spring; there was a poor effort on Tapeta last time but she's capable of popping up back on turf. |

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

Well held at a short price round Bath last time but paid for going with a strong pace; had hit traffic here previously and this mark should be within range for a yard also responsible for Terries Royale. |

Sole win came over C&D under Millie Wonnacott last September; had the odd ground/trip excuse since and was messed around in the closing stages at Chepstow last time; chance. |

7th 9 (1) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Second at Bath in the spring before appearing not to see out 1m2f on latest outing (not for the first time); last autumn's win (good to soft) came off a similar mark and it wouldn't be a shock were she to pop up. |

Two wins in September 2024 included one here (7f, good), but losing run now up to 14; drops to this level for the first time, which offers one ray of hope. |

8th 11 (6) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Well held all four runs this season but has had excuses with one thing and another, latterly when drawn out of it over C&D nine days ago (among the favourites); has gone well here previously and is one to consider off a career-low mark. |
10/1 |

8th 6 (2) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |

28th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Three wins in an industrious 2025 and another this March; three of those were AW, as was the respectable show in first-time cheekpieces on latest start, while last June's 1m classified win at Chepstow was on soft; others look more solid these days on today's likely good or good to firm ground. |
10/1 |

4th 8 (3) |
6th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |

All three AW wins have been over C&D, the latest in a classified event in March; has been below that form since and the switch from a hood to first-time cheekpieces needs to have a positive impact. |
16/1 |

9th 8 (11) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |

C&D winner last June (soft) off a 4lb higher mark; wants a good test over this trip but is capable of bouncing back, having been given an 11-week break since a couple of lesser efforts in Tapeta 0-50s. |

15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Lightly raced maiden who missed a chunk of her career; has not always looked straightforward, hanging badly left throughout last time (7f) having made most of the running; has the option of going far side from stall 3 and it could well be all or nothing. |
16/1 |

4th 4 (9) |
6th Jun 2026 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Six-race maiden; set good pace and belied 66-1 odds when fourth in Southwell maiden (6f, AW) in April, after a long layoff, but was well beaten in a recent Bath handicap (5.7f, good to firm); back up in trip here; remains tricky to weigh up. |
20/1 |

12th 1 (4) |
22nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Unexposed 5yo who returned after 485 days off with a front-running fourth of 13 in a Southwell maiden (6f, AW; 66-1) last month; carried her head awkwardly in the closing stages but that was a promising effort and she needs a close look back in a handicap. |
