29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 195y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Handy sort who is 1-1 here and ran well returned to turf when beaten a short head and a neck into third of eight at Hamilton (1m, good) a fortnight ago; ground faster than good probably not ideal, though. |

15th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 68y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Ended a long losing run at Newcastle (7f) in February but below par both runs since, sixth in 8.5f handicap at Wolverhampton last time; has a rare run on turf now. |

29th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Gained Newcastle win number ten in February; respectable sixth at Wolverhampton (8.6f) latest; it's hard to get excited by last year's turf exploits but he was runner-up over 1m here in April 2024. |

10th May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Six of his seven wins have been on AW and yet to win beyond 8.5f; second of 11 at Pontefract (1m, good) ten days ago where he stayed on to suggest this longer trip should suit. |

2nd 3 (7) |
30th Apr 2025 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 6 |

Probably better on the AW but won on turf for David O'Meara in July 2021 (6f, good); good second over 1m at Newcastle two runs back and not beaten far when seventh of 13 at Thirsk last week (7f, good to firm). |

4th Mar 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Two creditable shows in midwinter, including over C&D, but his sole win was back in 2023 and he ran no sort of race on this track in January; needs to shrug that off. |

It's now 19 outings since his last victory but he wasn't discredited when fourth of ten in 1m Southwell handicap 11 days ago; possibilities. |

11th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Sole win came in a C&D handicap (soft) in October with first-time cheekpieces; well below form in his four outings since, including on AW in a tongue tie and visor last month; latter aid is now swapped for blinkers, which his dam wore for her two wins, including when they first went on. |

6th May 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |

Sole win came off this mark on soft ground at Yarmouth (1m) in October with first-time cheekpieces; well below form in his three outings since and the added tongue-tie and visor need to make a difference. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
All 27 runs have been on AW; back-to-back wins at Southwell (1m) last October but he's been up and down since and was beaten 12l at Southwell two weeks ago; now makes his belated turf debut and comes with risks attached. |
16/1 |
|
7th 3 (2) |
29th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Back-to-back C&D wins last October (off 3lb lower than today, then 3lb higher than today); should appreciate returning to 1m having produced a lesser effort over 7f here last time; can be involved. |

11th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Scored twice over 1m here in 2025 and back to form of late, posting a good third of 11 in 1m handicap here three weeks ago; he's well in the mix eased 1lb. |

19th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 135y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Three-time AW winner, most recently at Dundalk (7f, AW) in October when trained by Charles Byrnes; third on his stable debut at Chelmsford (7f, AW) in February but he's not built on that in three starts since; unraced on ground slower than good to soft. |
12/1 |

10th 3 (2) |
11th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
A fair 7f winner in Ireland for Charles Byrnes in 2025 but yet to hit top form for his current yard, only eighth in 6f Wolverhampton handicap 29 days ago; needs to take a step forward. |
12/1 |
|
8th 11 (3) |
13th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
7f AW winner for Charles Byrnes in October; satisfactory start for new stable when third of nine at Chelmsford last month but he was unable to build on it at Kempton 11 days ago; others appeal more. |
