23rd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
The winner of ten of her 39 starts, notably when scampering clear of ten rivals in a Class 3 fillies' handicap at Newmarket three weeks ago; this represents a much stiffer assignment. |

1st May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Three wins last year and campaign concluded with good fourth of 11 over this C&D (good); down the field on reappearance at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) in March but may have needed the run and is not ruled out. |

7th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Seven wins from 18 AW runs, three of them here; wouldn't look to have much in hand of this mark but she goes well fresh and the booking of Oisin Murphy is a notable one. |

19th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
His last win was at Windsor 13 months ago but that was off 13lb higher and he finished a close third over C&D (good to firm) on his penultimate run; has possibilities if he can recapture that form and he won't mind what the weather does. |
15/2 |

8th 4 (5) |
15th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Won at Windsor last April off a mark 12lb higher than today's and he took a step back in the right direction when a close-up third at Nottingham (5f) a week ago; claims if building on that now returned to the AW. |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 7lb |
5lb lower than last winning mark and came close to taking advantage when finding only Vantheman too strong at Hamilton (5f, good) last week; meets that rival on 5lb better terms; should be involved in the shake-up once more. |
12/1 |
|
2nd 11 (8) |
17th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 3 |
8st 12lb |
C&D winner who boasts a good record at this time of year; will always be reliant on some luck given his hold-up style, which he hasn't had this year; on a handy mark when things do fall his way again, though, and is one to consider. |
6/1 |
|
5th 7 (10) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Trouble in running on both AW starts last month and same story at Pontefract last time, in the circumstances doing well to finish eighth of 13 from 4lb out of the handicap; he has a good record at Pontefract but could play a leading role off his proper mark today if getting the breaks. |

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. |

21st May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 16y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Four-time AW winner who was having just his second crack at a turf handicap when good sixth of 17 at Ascot (5f, good to firm) three weeks ago; also switched across from a poor draw to deliver his bid so that effort can probably be upgraded a little further; forecast softer ground is an unknown but otherwise respected. |
4/1 |

6th 12 (2) |
1st May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Had a troubled trip when down the field at Wolverhampton in February but he had been running well beforehand, including a couple of AW wins; others appeal as being better handicapped. |

30th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Consistent gelding who's usually ridden from off the pace; no obvious reason why he won't go well once more, back over an easier 6f, returning from a short break. |

28th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Strong traveller with eight wins on his record, the latest off this mark in March (5f, AW); well beaten in three starts for his new stable though and enough to prove at present. |

9 (11) |
5th Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Four-time turf winner who scored at Lingfield (5f, AW) in March; however, he was soundly beaten on his final run for Tristan Davidson and it's been the same story on both outings for this stable. |
40/1 |
|
8 (3) |
26th Jul 2025 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Comfortably saw off six rivals at Lingfield (5f AW) in March but went up 7lb for that and then failed to figure at Wolverhampton and Chepstow; had some traffic issues on his stable debut last time but this is a deeper race and others are preferred. |

6th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
C&D scorer but his recent form is far from encouraging, beating only two in 5f Southwell handicap 17 days ago; hood goes back on; work to do. |
14/1 |
|
7th 1 (2) |
20th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Possibly needed latest run (when back from a break); losing sequence is mounting up but this drop in class may do the trick; interesting at this level off 11lb below last winning mark. |
13/2 |
|
14 (3) |
21st Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Needs things to fall just right for him but he is on a lowly mark and some of this summer's form gives him leading claims; wouldn't judge him too harshly on latest Leicester run and he holds each-way claims again. |
10/1 |
