14th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Had a luckless passage at Bath last month but had a clearer run through when winning at Leicester (6f, good to firm) five days ago, travelling strongly and doing it comfortably; carries a 4lb penalty for that success and looks the one to beat. |

9th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Tough sort who last won on turf more than a year ago but he had a luckless run at Bath recently (extended 5f, good; no aids, as today); acts on this track and versatile regarding the ground; can't rule out. |

8st 12lb |
Hold-up performer who won four times last year including off 4lb higher at Brighton (7f, good to firm); two solid efforts on AW since rejoining Tony Carroll last month and he could be a big factor if he gets the breaks back on turf; tongue-tie and blinkers are removed but he has won without headgear. |

9st 8lb |
Won a Chelmsford maiden (6f, Polytrack) in November 2023; missed last year but he's returned from a long absence with two promising runs in handicap, including a rallying second at Southwell (6f) last month; only 1lb higher than for that close call and he's respected back up in trip. |

8st 8lb |
Beat Winged Messenger in a big-field 6f handicap at York last summer and he is 11lb better off with that rival today; went close at Southwell in April but he wasn't in the same form at Ascot 16 days ago; should be winning soon but perhaps not today. |

9th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Just missed out at Southwell ten days ago (6f), finishing off his race strongly; 1lb higher mark and stronger opposition to contend with but his proven record in big-field events (first of 21, first of 22 and fourth of 24 on the three occasions he's run in fields of 16+) bodes well. |
8/1 |

2nd 7 (8) |
29th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Triple AW winner who is just 1lb higher than when beating his 21 rivals at York last July (following wind surgery; winning the race for the second year in succession); completely blew the start at Wolverhampton last time and best watched today. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Now 16lb lower than when winning at Ascot (6f, good to firm; also suited by 7f) on stable debut last spring, but finished well down the field in all four AW sprints since December and returns to turf with lots to prove. |
20/1 |

8th 7 (2) |
11th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
This his time of year, with two May wins in 2024 and a hat-trick last spring; arrives off the back of a string of modest efforts, though, the returning visor not making much difference last time. |
20/1 |

11th 2 (8) |
25th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Landed a turf hat-trick for the visor first going on last spring (won twice in May the year before too); well held in two AW runs from wide stalls this winter and can do better at this lower level with the visor back in place. |

8th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Three wins over C&D in the spring, but last two efforts (albeit in warmer company) leave something to be desired; widest stall to contend with. |

18th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Produced a telling turn of foot to prevail in a bunch finish in a slowly run contest at Lingfield (1m2f, Polytrack) 15 days ago, ending a 21-race losing run; only 2lb higher, but steps up in trip again so his stamina will be tested further, especially if this is more truly run. |

3rd Sep 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |

Runner-up in two of his five runs for this yard, once at this track (1m); not straightforward though, often slowly away, and his stamina for this trip has to be taken on trust. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Won a couple of 5f AW handicaps in January; fully effective at 6f but he needs to leave a couple of low-key runs behind him now back on turf. |

27th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |

Ran poorly at Newcastle last month but he had been in good form beforehand, winning over C&D and at Chelmsford in January; holds Forever Noah on the Chelmsford run and could bounce back after a short break. |

7th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Both of his wins from 41 starts have been on turf, the most recent in October 2023, but he was unlucky not to finish closer at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) 31 days ago; each-way claims if things drop right for this hold-up performer. |
7/1 |

5th 6 (9) |
6th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Always had his quirks and again hung left when a beaten-favourite at Southwell last time; usually dropped in and that will likely be the case again from the outside stall, in which case he'll need things to pan out ideally down from 7f. |
8/1 |
|
6th 4 (4) |
11th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
0-13 on AW but he is fully effective on Tapeta; the step up to 7f didn't yield instant dividends at Wolverhampton 16 days ago but he didn't get chance to show his true colours, tight for room inside the final furlong and having to switch right before keeping on steadily; this more spacious track could see him in a better light. |

1st Jun 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Missed a chunk of last year and has slid to a competitive mark for his current yard; just behind Southbank over C&D a month ago and is one to consider back in headgear (second-time blinkers). |
5/1 |

3rd 9 (10) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Down the field on first four starts for Chelsea Banham but fared better when fifth in a Wolverhampton classified (6f; heavily backed) last month; needs to build on that effort but it will be interesting to see whether he's strong in the betting again. |
6/1 |
|
5th 11 (2) |
24th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won a C&D handicap in December 2024, recording an RPR of 71 in the process; unfancied and has finished down the field in four runs for Chelsea Banham this winter; eligible for this 0-50 classified as a result; a return to form is likely to be foretold by the betting. |
