13th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Two wins on turf last season for Mark Usher (5f/6f) and he's continued to improve for his new yard, winning two in a row on AW earlier this year (5f); not at his best when seventh of 15 back on grass in a recent Listed race at Naas (5f, good) but shaped as though this return to 6f could be a positive; returns to a handicap and remains one to be interested in. |

27th Apr 2026 Yielding 0m 5f 0y |
9st 9lb |
British raider arrives in terrific form having won back-to-back 5f AW handicaps at Newcastle off 92 and Southwell off 99; effective on good ground; probably needs to improve again on first run in Listed company, but can't be discounted. |
13/2 |

1st 7 (8) |
21st Mar 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Progressive sprinter for Mark Usher; down the field in the Ayr Gold Cup on his stable debut last September but he was back on the up with a comfortable Newcastle success six weeks ago (5f; ridden by Tom Marquand); although visually impressive (good Topspeed figure too), the form has taken some knocks and he will need another career best if he is to defy a 7lb rise. |

23rd Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Mixed results in higher grades on turf of late; has a better strike-rate (4-10) on AW and looks interesting returned to this sphere off 1lb below last winning mark. |

27th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |

Never in contention in the Ayr Silver Cup last week; mark not beyond him judged on this year's best but he has few secrets now. |
20/1 |

18th 21 (17) |
20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Has a useful strike-rate on the AW but just 1-18 on turf; suffered some interference over C&D on his latest 6f start in July but he looks to have his share of weight relative to the company he keeps today. |

28th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Wins have been over 6f on turf and 7f on the AW (Newcastle); has been running well for a while and latest effort back at Newcastle was better than it looks. |
5/1 |
|
7th 10 (10) |
20th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Record of 2-20 but his last win was over C&D last month and he was only beaten 2l behind Anthropologist here last time; remains feasibly treated on his best form and he has possibilities. |
9/1 |

4th 6 (1) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Promising third when back up to 7f at Southwell last month then won over this C&D, beating Concert Boy (due to run in the 5:00) by a short head; unexposed at the trip and respected up just 2lb. |

30th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Arrives in great form, having won three of his four turf starts this season, two of those here over 7f and the latest over C&D; up another 4lb but looked like he had a bit more up his sleeve last time; big player. |
9/4 |
|
1st 5 (2) |
21st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Thrives here - form figures 72111 - twice accounting for Vince Le Prince over 7f last month; weakened at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) 19 days ago, but this track is a much better fit, and he's unlikely to be hindered by rain; still fairly treated off 67 based on historic form. |
7/1 |
|
7th 6 (3) |
2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Veteran who has been back in fine form of late, landing a pair of 7f handicaps at Catterick; up another 3lb but he's not taken lightly in his current mood. |

21st May 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Two wins last summer (5f, good/good to firm) and didn't see out 6f when third of six on recent reappearance at Doncaster (6f, good to firm); has run well on slow ground in the past and he's a key player back down to 5f. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 5 (4) |
2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Often inclined to pull hard over this trip in the past and was kept to 5f last year, when winning three times; undergone wind surgery since last seen six months ago and will need to settle in tonight's small field if he's to have a chance off this mark. |
16/1 |

7th 1 (6) |
1st Nov 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
C&D winner; three turf victories this year, the latest in a Class 3 at Hamilton in August; disappointing back at Hamilton in September when soft ground shouldn't have been an excuse; the latest run raises a question now. |

27th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Knocking on the door with increasing vigour and went down by just half-a-length in a 0-80 here three weeks ago (7f); no issue with returning to further (has won over 8.6f) and a 2lb rise is justified; claims. |
13/2 |

2nd 13 (3) |
6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Made all when making a winning debut for this yard over C&D last autumn (all four victories come late in the year); back on a workable mark and back in form lately but this is more competitive. |

3rd 6 (1) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |

Won by a length under Cara Tuke over C&D last week (good to soft) and escapes a penalty for that; that was a return to form and she can put a sequence of solid efforts together. |
