30th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Dual C&D winner; has slipped to 6lb below his last winning mark (1m4f, Lingfield) and wasn't beaten far when having the run of the race under Rose Dawes at Wolverhampton (1m4f; third of seven, 7-2) last week; foolish to discount. |

17th Feb 2026 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Good run on his handicap debut last January but struggled since, including both runs for new trainer this year; dropped 7lb for his troubles but not easily recommended. |

7th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Low-mileage 5yo; best run from his seven starts came when second of 11 to The Bay Warrior over C&D last January; struggled since but he is now 6lb lower and last month's stable debut/return from ten-month absence should have sharpened him up. |

Much better on his handicap debut, upped from 1m to 1m3f, early in the year but was said to have stopped quickly when a beaten-favourite next time; that leaves him something to prove. |

7th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
A fair 1m2f winner at his best for Alice Haynes, but he's failed to beat a rival in handicaps at Lingfield (1m5f) and Bath (1m) in 2026; others appeal more. |

5th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Sole win (21 races) was over 1m2f at Yarmouth last May but subsequent efforts include two seconds; left Alice Haynes for 17,000gns in October and came last of 12 (hood removed) when upped to 1m5f for new yard in February; now has a bit to prove over a trip this short. |

Three AW wins when trained by Ed Dunlop; 0-5 for current yard but was placed over 1m2f here last month; 1m too sharp last time; each-way claims if on his game. |

10th 5 (7) |
1st Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 0y |
9st 11lb |
Four-time winner for Ed Dunlop (three on AW); won four-runner 1m2f Brighton handicap last July; best run for this yard so far when a dead-heating third of nine with Star Mind over the extended 1m2f here last Friday; this trip is possibly a bit shorter than ideal. |

Four-time winner for Ed Dunlop (three on AW); won four-runner Brighton handicap last July; some encouragement in his 5.75l seventh here in February, but that is sandwiched between two poor efforts for new yard. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Four-time turf winner who last scored at Brighton (1m4f, good to firm; has won at this trip) two years ago; went close on two occasions at 1m3f (visored) during latest AW campaign but his latest effort when last of ten at Southwell (1m4f; raced freely) wasn't an ideal springboard for this switch back to grass; blinkers (has won in them before) go back on. |

28th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Just 1-30 on the AW, but the win came over C&D and he was only beaten a head by Jack Andrea here (1m3f) last month; 5lb pull makes him a player even though his losing run is mounting up. |

6th Jun 2025 Good 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Former Group 3 winner who's been on the slide for a while now; suggested he was about to exploit a much reduced mark when fourth at Wolverhampton (9.4f) last month and he attracted good support when keeping on for third at Brighton (1m2f, good to soft) ten days ago; overall profile far from persuasive but he still warrants consideration. |
3/1 |

3rd 6 (1) |
27th May 2025 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Suggested he might be able to exploit his much reduced mark soon when fourth at Wolverhampton (9.4f) a fortnight ago but his run at Kempton (1m4f) on Wednesday was a backward step and he remains without a win since his Irish Group 3 success in June 2022. |

26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Registered a 1m2f double on good to firm last July, with the first leg at this track; off the boil in the autumn (with cheekpieces added on final start) but one result is that she's now just 1lb above her last winning mark. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Infrequent winner but he's on a dangerous mark and has reached the frame at Nottingham (8.3f, good) and Beverley (8.4f, good to firm) in his last two starts; now drops back in trip but he should get a good pace to aim at and is not ruled out. |

Has an each-way shout, having shown signs of a revival with placed effort at Nottingham (1m) last Saturday returned to turf; whether he can win is another matter, with his strike-rate still poor. |

Nine wins at this course (7f-1m4f), including three this year; remains in top form, having finished runner-up here on his last two starts; must be strongly considered on his favoured track. |

2nd 2 (2) |
9th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Took this in 2025 and he comes here better than ever, bagging a third course win of 2026 in February; posted a very good second in another 7f handicap here last time so rates a big player off an unchanged mark. |
5/4 |

2nd 4 (5) |
13th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Better than ever since dropped back to 7f, determinedly adding a third win from four C&D starts three weeks ago; this class didn't look beyond him when 1l third here before that, just behind stablemate Legal Reform; some wriggle room judged on peak RPRs even off a new career-high mark. |
