18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 21y Class 2 |
8st 7lb |
Won three 5f handicaps in 2025; continued to run well on his first three starts this year but he didn't really fire behind a stablemate at Goodwood (5f, good) last time; that took his losing run up to ten and he needs to get back near his best. |

1st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 7lb |
Notched three 5f handicaps in 2025 and he has continued in decent form this season, fifth of 14 at Musselburgh last month; ought to be thereabouts once more off an easing mark. |

4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 1y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Prominent racer who won off 2lb lower at Newbury (5f, good to firm) last summer; held his form well without winning on the AW over the winter; no obvious reason why he won't be involved again but one or two of these could be better handicapped. |

13th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 42y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Had been running well on the AW this winter and wasn't for catching after setting a strong pace over this C&D last month (third has won since); an 8lb rise still leaves him on a fair mark based on his previous form but he does now step back up in grade. |
5/1 |

1st 5 (4) |
11th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 42y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Ultra-reliable operator on AW, running another solid race when second to a class-dropper at Wolverhampton (5f; first time visor) last month; lesser strike-rate on turf but he is fully effective on it and he has been given a real chance by the handicapper, dropped 10lb for his last two turf defeats (in Class 3); should go well. |

13th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 42y Class 3 |
8st 10lb |
Ended a lengthy losing run at Southwell in January and posted a respectable effort at Newmarket (5f, good) last month; however, he was down the field at Ascot (5f, good to firm) 12 days ago and is now just 1-46 on turf; others preferred. |

14th 15 (16) |
1st May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Ended a lengthy losing run at Southwell in January and he is just 1lb higher today; solid effort at Newmarket 17 days ago when not ideally positioned; each-way claims at a track where he has run well in much better races than this one. |
12/1 |

4th 8 (6) |
14th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
8st 6lb |
Close call in a Group 3 here in 2022 and deserves so much better than his very modest turf strike-rate, given how many fine races he continues to run in defeat, such as when going down narrowly to both Rosario and Regal Envoy on different 5f runs (good and good to firm) last May; some cold comfort that he won on AW in January but tough to support for the win. |

31st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Inconsistent front-runner but was close up behind Vantheman at Hamilton and this flatter track could suit better; respected. |

5th 9 (11) |
17th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Inconsistent front-runner who's given a third try in a tongue-tie following a below-par effort back on turf last time (made much of the running from the rail draw at Musselburgh); on a competitive mark if he's on a going day though. |
10/1 |

6th 5 (13) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Inconsistent last year but won twice (5f, good), including over C&D, and he returned to form with a near-miss at Newcastle (5f, AW) last month; major player if he's once more on a going day. |

22nd Dec 2024 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Made an impressive winning debut when making all at Southwell (5f, Tapeta) a year ago and only beaten half a length there (first-time tongue-tie) on her penultimate start; blinkers now given a go after one try in cheekpieces, but she will do well to dominate this field. |

Early promise for this yard but he's been struggling for form this winter; tackles 7f for the first time; stable may have stronger claims with Straight A. |

19th Feb 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Rated considerably higher this time 12 months ago but he's down in the weights as a result of some modest runs since March; returning to 6f not enough to tempt this time. |

20th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Still short of his best form but last month's midfield finish at Southwell was a step back in the right direction; 2lb lower today and no surprise to see him in the shake up. |

27th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |

Well handicapped on the pick of his form which includes a win here, but he arrives under a cloud; finished last on Sunday and hard to fancy. |
