22nd May 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Regained the winning thread at Ripon (5f, good) on stable/seasonal debut when 5lb lower and rider took off 7lb; this seems a harder task but he remains well treated on peak form and is a dual winner at Goodwood; enters calculations. |

8st 10lb |
Ten-time winner down the years for James Evans; drew a blank in 2025 but runner-up twice off marks in the 90s, including reappearance, so well treated starting out for Tony Carroll (same owners); interesting to see what the betting makes of him. |

15th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |

Below par in three AW outings this year but is well treated on last year's turf exploits if first-time blinkers spark him back to life. |

27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Below par in two AW outings this year but might have been building up his fitness and this former course scorer is starting to look well treated on the pick of last year's turf form; no shock were he to bounce back to form. |
12/1 |

7th 9 (9) |
4th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Got the better of Pilgrim at Ripon (5f, good) last April off a mark 2lb higher than today's, and he ended the season with some solid placed efforts; faded at Newcastle (5f, AW) last month on his first start for 111 days but he may well have needed it. |

31st May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
His last win came over C&D last July (good; off 1lb higher) and he stayed on for a close third at Hamilton (5f, good) a fortnight ago; could build on that latest performance now back up in trip; firmly in calculations. |
10/1 |

17th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
May have needed his recent comeback from six months off at his age (cracked late on having raced prominently from a low stall over 6f round Chester); 2lb below his last successful mark and has won here before but David Allan has opted for Vince L'Amour. |

18th Nov 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Was having his first start after a second wind operation when down the field at Wolverhampton (6f, Tapeta) 15 days ago; 2lb lower then when just missing out at Chester (5f, soft) in June and each-way claims if reproducing that sort of form. |
16/1 |

26th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Short-headed by Copper Knight at Chester (5f, soft) last month and close fourth of eight there (5.5f, good) since but well beaten in May on sole previous visit here and down the field at Yarmouth on Thursday. |
14/1 |

Only handicap win was off this mark last season (5f, good to firm); close up in Chester sprints the last twice, the penultimate one on soft ground; has each-way claims. |

22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Four of his six wins have come over C&D, including the corresponding race in 2024; drew a blank in 2025 but retains ability and he has run some solid races in defeat this year too, keeping on for fourth at Beverley 18 days ago; drops in class but he has the widest stall to contend with. |

4th 7 (6) |
4th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

5th 4 (1) |
23rd Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Has won two of three C&D starts (good and good to firm), the latest in July 2024; went very close to breaking the losing run when involved in a tight finish on Southwell AW in March; convincing claims. |

17th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Wins have all come over easy tracks in the spring/autumn on good or softer ground; won well at Ripon last weekend but was always well positioned from the rail draw and a 6lb rise looks plenty as he goes back up in class. |
10/1 |

1st 2 (8) |
8th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Returned to form with a second at Musselburgh (5f, good to soft) last month but he failed to back that up over C&D (last of eight) two weeks ago; has something to prove again after that and he's still 3lb higher than for his last win. |

13th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Two wins on turf last season for Mark Usher (5f/6f) and he's continued to improve for his new yard, winning two in a row on AW earlier this year (5f); not at his best when seventh of 15 back on grass in a recent Listed race at Naas (5f, good) but shaped as though this return to 6f could be a positive; returns to a handicap and remains one to be interested in. |
11/1 |

27th Apr 2026 Yielding 0m 5f 0y |
9st 9lb |
British raider arrives in terrific form having won back-to-back 5f AW handicaps at Newcastle off 92 and Southwell off 99; effective on good ground; probably needs to improve again on first run in Listed company, but can't be discounted. |
13/2 |

1st 7 (8) |
21st Mar 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Progressive sprinter for Mark Usher; down the field in the Ayr Gold Cup on his stable debut last September but he was back on the up with a comfortable Newcastle success six weeks ago (5f; ridden by Tom Marquand); although visually impressive (good Topspeed figure too), the form has taken some knocks and he will need another career best if he is to defy a 7lb rise. |

Won last season's Great St Wilfrid at Ripon off a 5lb higher mark; didn't run badly at Nottingham 12 days ago (5f, good) but he has a double-figure stall to contend with and could prove vulnerable. |

18th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Led late on when winning a 5f handicap at Hamilton in June; best run since when third of ten at Leicester 11 days ago (5f, good to soft); more to prove back over 6f. |
10/1 |
|
11 (4) |
7th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Can take a nap at the start; best form of 2025 in good 5f Hamilton races during June, going close (good to soft) before leading near the line (good) but he hasn't been running badly in competitive sprints of late; the expected strong pace can suit now he's back at 5f and returned to this grade. |
10/1 |

19th Sep 2025 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb

Close second at Hamilton (5f, good to soft) in June and went one better there (5f, good) 11 days later; effective over 6f in the past; however, down the field on his last two outings and needs to get back on track. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Poorly drawn and well beaten on seasonal reappearance here (6f) in April, but much more competitive when third at Carlisle (5f, good; 9-2) 16 days ago; bypassed an option at Catterick on Saturday (unsuitable ground) in favour of this; rain - three wins on soft - would aid his cause. |

3rd 3 (1) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Best to forgive reappearance effort (badly drawn) but he's not the percentage call unless the ground is soft; has gained all handicap wins on that surface. |
