13th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
6f wins at Newcastle and Lingfield this winter; not at his best at Newcastle (5f; tried in a visor) last month and the return of his usual cheekpieces isn't enough to tempt. |

6f win here in November; back on the scoresheet when landing a 6f handicap at Lingfied four weeks ago; closely matched with a few of these on a C&D run on January 13; new headgear tried today. |

1st Jun 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Three Newcastle wins for Richard Spencer over the winter, latterly off 5lb lower, and remained competitive before changing hands for 5,000gns; usual tongue-tie/blinkers absent for his new yard latest (same again here), when well below par on turf. |

19th May 2026 Good 0m 4f 217y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Has been campaigned exclusively on AW where he had three wins over 6f at Newcastle for Richard Spencer; sold for 5,000gns to join new trainer last month and is a fascinating contender back in trip on turf debut for shrewd yard. |

11th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won here in 2023 and she scored twice at Wolverhampton (7f/6f, AW) last June; good third at Wolverhampton in March but not at the same level there on either start since and she needs to raise her game. |
20/1 |

Her last four wins have been at this track and latest was off 1lb lower over C&D last June; mixed results in three runs this year but she had traffic issues last time and was placed here (6f) on her penultimate run; in the mix. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Won a couple of 5f AW handicaps in January; fully effective at 6f but he needs to leave a couple of low-key runs behind him now back on turf. |
20/1 |

7th 4 (7) |
27th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |

Ran poorly at Newcastle last month but he had been in good form beforehand, winning over C&D and at Chelmsford in January; holds Forever Noah on the Chelmsford run and could bounce back after a short break. |

9st 0lb |
Fourth on all four appearances at Brighton; 29 races overall, with both his wins on Southwell AW last March/September; thrown in on that form but he was out of form this winter and on recent return to turf after five months off; others have more pressing claims. |

Last five wins have been over 5f, the most recent at Wolverhampton (AW) in December; below his best in four starts since and now returns to turf for the first time since October 2024 following a 120-day break; best form on grass has been on soft/heavy. |

5th May 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Disappointed as favourite in a 6f handicap here six weeks ago but he is well handicapped on his 3yo best and he was notably short in the betting prior to being withdrawn at Doncaster last month (bolted to post); headstrong sort but more than capable of playing a role if not overdoing it in the preliminaries. |
11/4 |
|
5 (12) |
24th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Progressive last spring, following a 5f AW win with a ready 6f win at this track (good to firm); mixed bag since then but his penultimate fourth at Wolverhampton was encouraging; failed to back it up ten days later but no doubt the ability is there and he's well handicapped now. |

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

0-20 but he arrives in good nick, second of 13 in 6f Brighton handicap eight days ago; well in the mix again off an unchanged mark. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 5 (12) |
29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
0-19 and modest form nowadays; also down the weights and followed three competitive 7f efforts on AW with a fair show in big field on turf last time, but this first visit to Brighton needs to spark something extra from him. |

11th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Dual 5f turf winner; would have each-way claims if able to reproduce his Newcastle effort from three starts ago but has taken a couple of backward steps since. |
9/2 |

2nd Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Both wins over 5f, on good to firm and soft; on a good mark now and he has run creditably over 6f but might prefer an easier test at the trip than this, especially with the ground having eased. |

15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 182y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
0-7 on AW as a 2yo but made the frame four consecutive times towards end of last year (5f-6f) and had excuse (denied clear run) when below form in first-time blinkers on latest outing; makes turf debut after 167-day break but has a big role to play if fully tuned up; visor tried this time. |
100/30 |

23rd Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |

Brings the worst form, having never figured in 6f event at Chelmsford, albeit seemed green; this Prescott filly may be much more interesting in handicaps later on. |

9th Jun 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Off the mark at the seventh attempt when wearing first-time cheekpieces (retained since) in a nursery at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) last November; April's reappearance sixth at Southwell (6f, AW) gives him something to build on and he's a possible contender if the return to turf isn't an issue. |
12/1 |

6th 8 (6) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Built on his Chelmsford third to score in newly applied cheekpieces at Wolverhampton (6f, AW; 11-1 from 4lb lower) last November; lacks the benefit of a recent run but there may be further improvement to come. |

5th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Latest of his 11 wins came at Lingfield (6f, AW) in January and he went close at Wolverhampton next time; fair effort over 6f at Lingfield 36 days ago but this slight drop back in trip probably isn't ideal. |
7/1 |
|
5th 4 (4) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
11 wins, the latest off basement mark over C&D in January; largely consistent since and may benefit from this drop back in trip, having raced too freely when fourth over 7f here on latest outing; back from two-month break. |
11/2 |
