Two wins in Britain came on a sound surface; regressive since starting his Irish career promisingly with a second placing at the Curragh in the spring; hard to fancy having finished in rear when partnered by Colin Keane last time. |

Two wins in Britain came on a sound surface but has bits and pieces of form on soft; good start for new connections when second here in April but disappointing since; better for recent comeback run here but needs to be; Keane booked now. |

100-1 when unseating at the start in a Class 4 AW handicap last week on return from a lengthy break; this is more his level but has a bit to prove on the wellbeing front. |

20th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
11-time course winner who defied this mark over C&D in December; some creditable efforts since but he has been a bit up and down and was only sixth behind Anthropologist here last time; others preferred. |

27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
11-time course winner, the latest over C&D in December, and he twice finished placed over C&D last month; certainly of interest on that form but this 12yo has gone off the boil on his last two starts. |

14th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Failed to fire at Newcastle last week but this veteran had run two fine races in defeat beforehand; fully effective at this track too so no great surprise were he to rebound quickly. |

8th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 2 |
8st 5lb |
All four wins have come over 7f/1m on the AW, the latest in February; back off the same mark as for that success, but she is 0-10 on turf and has never attempted this far before. |

12th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 4 |

All four wins have come over 7f/1m on the AW, the latest in February; return to this trip should suit, but she is 0-9 on turf and a few of the others make greater appeal. |

3rd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 2 |

Her three course wins have come over a mile, the latest when beating Dosman (runs in the 3.00) in February; slightly disappointing here four weeks ago but she is back against her own sex and not handicapped out of things. |

9st 3lb |
Runner-up three times in a row over 7f on AW in the winter and returned to form with a win at Kempton (7f, AW) last month; unproven over 6f and 0-10 on turf, but placed on grass a few times and is not ruled out. |

Often placed but has never passed the post first in any of his 23 starts, his sole success courtesy of the stewards; return to this trip should suit, but others preferred for win purposes. |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Four C&D wins, including when justifying favouritism in January 2025; in reasonable form on turf this time last year (from marks in mid 60s) but has lost his way since then, tumbling down the handicap; latest Ripon fourth (beaten 8l) isn't enough to tempt. |
7/1 |

4th 8 (11) |
17th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Has four wins on Newcastle AW but is only 1-19 on turf; never figured on return to turf when seventh of nine at Pontefract (1m, good) in cheekpieces (left off here) last month; needs to show more. |
16/1 |

29th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Last of his five wins came 15 months ago and he struggled after close fourth over C&D (good to firm) in August; falling mark a help if he can stage a revival after three-month break; market check advised. |

Veteran (13-102); has won just once since late 2024, when edging out Pallas Lord over C&D (15-2) on New Year's Day; kept on after a slow start, fifth of seven, at Ayr (7f; 33-1) four weeks ago. |

Getting on for three years since his last turf success and this veteran hasn't been at his best at Newcastle of late; opposable back at 7f and returned to the grass. |
