6th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Both AW wins have been at this track, one over today's distance; has shot up the weights since as a result of further success on turf; in good order at present, however, and shouldn't be far away. |

5th 5 (7) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 1m 3f 218y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Gained his second success for this yard when winning at Wolverhampton (8.5f, AW) in March and followed up at Bath (1m, good to soft) next time; runner-up in both starts since (1m2f) but this consistent sort still needs to prove he stays this far. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
11yo who has been up and down this season but has won twice, including over C&D (good), and he ran pretty well when third here (1m, good) last time; finished third in this last year and he could give a good account. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 4 (6) |
6th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Veteran whose 2026 wins at Ripon (1m2f) and Musselburgh (1m1f) show that he retains plenty of vitality; form dipped when back at this venue last time, so needs to rebound. |

19th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Resumed winning ways over C&D in June and backed it up with a solid third of eight at Doncaster (1m) 16 days ago; ought to be thereabouts again. |
3/1 |
|
3rd 7 (2) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Sent off favourite and returned to form with a win at Redcar (1m, good) a fortnight ago; he did it a shade readily and can give another good account off this 6lb higher mark if backing up that latest performance. |

30th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Still a maiden after ten starts but she's well handicapped on some of last year's placed form and endured a wide trip when only seventh over C&D in January on latest outing; contender if tuned up after break. |
6/1 |
|
4 (5) |
18th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Seven-race maiden who has largely encouraging form since switched to handicaps, good third at Chelmsford (upped to 1m2f from 1m) most recently; in the mix. |

15th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 13y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Four-time winner for Ed Dunlop; lost his way in Ireland but bounced back to make a winning start for Tony Carroll at Chepstow (1m2f, good to soft; fine on faster) last month; possibly found the run coming too soon when only fifth over 1m at Brighton six days later; probably stays 1m4f and retains handicapping scope on his best form. |
13/8 |
|
5th 4 (6) |
21st Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
Four-time winner for Ed Dunlop who lost his way in Ireland but bounced back to form last Monday (1m2f, good to soft; fine on faster) when a clearcut winner on his debut for this yard; William Pearman rides again with a penalty to carry. |

21st Jul 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 6 |
11st 1lb |
Long time since he won on the Flat and he had lost his way when last seen; the change of yard will need to spark a revival and there's nothing to suggest he's best caught fresh. |
16/1 |

8th 7 (1) |
3rd Feb 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Not beaten far into fifth in a 2m handicap here four weeks ago; on a fair mark but others bring more persuasive claims. |

29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Again no sign of the tongue-tie he wore for most wins; two runs this season were his first on turf since June 2024 and he needs to return to February's AW levels. |
14/1 |
|
4th 5 (9) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
10st 12lb |
Again no sign of the tongue-tie worn for most wins as he has a rare run away from the AW; bit better at Lingfield recently on his second run for this yard but needs more back on turf. |
12/1 |
