6th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |

Course regular who's going beyond 5f for the first time in almost two years; remains consistent and is on a winning mark but others are preferred over this trip. |

20th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |

In-form 8yo, placed at Wolverhampton and Newcastle on his last two starts; goes back up in class but it's difficult to rule out this eight-time course winner who should get a good pace to aim at. |

Eight of his nine wins on the AW have been at Wolverhampton and the other came over this C&D; ran well but was no match for the winner when second of nine at Wolverhampton (5f, AW) nine days ago; claims off his last winning mark. |

18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Runner-up in this race last year and he scored off 1lb lower at Chester (5f, good) last July; never a threat on his reappearance at Lingfield (6f) last month but he pulled hard and this drop back in trip is a positive; usually comes from off the pace and has claims if he gets the breaks. |

Won three times over 5f on AW/turf last year; stays 6f perfectly well and can easily be excused his defeat on heavy ground in September but has fitness to prove after a seven-month break. |

Won twice over 5.5f at Bath in 2023 but has come up dry since; no show in three starts for this stable but handicapper relenting and Colin Keane is 2-9 for this yard. |

24th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Conditions to suit and he ran well in defeat at Chelmsford (5f) in February/March; didn't run badly in a stronger C&D handicap last week and he can feature prominently back into 0-55 company. |

Finished a solid second at Chelmsford (5f Class 6) on his last two starts and his turn looks near; back up in grade but receives weight all round and remains favourably treated on plenty of form; not dismissed. |

16th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |

Has shown inconsistent form, mostly on AW, this year and ran below par over C&D in most recent turf attempt; far from sure to take advantage of a reduced mark. |

22nd Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Won off 9lb higher at Bath (5.6f) last August but he's been up and down since then and has been well held in last three starts; has plenty to prove again and he's not run over this trip since 2021. |

11th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Should be making a big impact off this sort of mark but mixed record early in the year and well held, albeit after 164 days off, at Brighton five weeks ago; others look safer. |

9st 9lb |
Won twice over C&D in late 2025, the latter success coming off a 2lb higher mark; more recent efforts need bettering but this is likely to be run to suit and dropping back into a 0-60 could see her bounce back to form. |

28th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |

Dual Wolverhampton winner in the autumn but not at her best on her last four starts; slipping in the weights but others still make more appeal. |

2nd Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |

Dual C&D winner in the autumn but her form has cooled since the turn of the year and she'll probably need a career-best performance to have any chance off her current mark. |

7th Aug 2025 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Won a Brighton maiden (5.5f, good) in first-time cheekpieces last year; those aids were absent until posting creditable thirds behind Snow Berry (good; 22-1) in June and Gypsy Nation (also C&D, good to firm) a fortnight later; handicapper continues to relent and she can't be dismissed. |

12th Jun 2025 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |

Generally struggled in handicaps for current stable; perhaps sharper for last month's Beverley return and she's dropped another 3lb since; still asking a lot of the new cheekpieces to turn things around though. |

21st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Seven-time winner; style of racing leaves him a hostage to fortune and he has met trouble in two of his three runs for Ben Haslam; has the ability to win at this level and stall 1, while not optimal, should at least keep him clear of some of the traffic. |

9st 9lb |
All wins at 6f up to two years ago but last five successes at 5f, most recently off much the same mark at Wolverhampton before Christmas; has beaten a total of two rivals in his last three starts, however, so more needs to be done back at 6f; cheekpieces refitted in place of a visor. |
