9st 11lb |
C&D winner last spring off a 4lb higher mark who finished a clear second on his return to turf nine days ago; 2lb higher now but having Jack Callan (1-11 for the yard) up to take off 3lb won't hurt; one to consider. |

Two wins from 18 starts; dropping to 5f wouldn't have suited at Lingfield in February but he was too free at Kempton (6f) when last seen 78 days ago; switches back to turf with others preferred. |

Three wins last year, at 6f and 7f; needs to get himself back on track and this is only his second attempt at 5f. |

29th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
On the back foot early due to issues at the start a couple of times of late but has also disappointed; weighted to go well if Oliver Hoodless, who rode a 33-1 winner in February, can get a good tune out of him. |
12/1 |

8th 5 (10) |
21st Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Not much has gone to plan since the turn of the year and he's drawn wide today but he moves back up to his optimum trip after two 6f runs (lost ground at the start both times) and is well handicapped if judged on his 7f Wolverhampton form from the autumn. |

9st 0lb |
23-race maiden who has tried various headgear (including combinations) since joining this yard but it was only today's tongue-tie he sported when close second at Kempton (6f, AW) in March; career-low mark and he's a contender if subsequent efforts can be forgiven. |

11th 9 (1) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Still seeking his first win after 22 attempts; went close at Kempton (6f) in March but his two runs since haven't been of the same standard; has shown promise on turf; has worn each of today's accessories at some point but this is the first time they have been worn together. |

Off the mark for new connections when leading late on in a 7f handicap at Southwell in March; not quite so good twice since but he still commands plenty of respect in this field. |
5/1 |

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

Snapped a losing sequence a fortnight ago at Southwell (7f, Tapeta) where benefiting from the strong pace to collar Anthropologist close home; unexposed at today's trip and a 3lb rise isn't harsh; he's one to consider. |

28th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Defied this mark at Chelmsford (7f, AW) last October but he's been out of sorts at Newmarket and Ascot in his two runs this season; now drops back in grade but he's 1-13 on turf and others are more convincing; reapplied visor replaces cheekpieces. |
25/1 |

8th 9 (9) |
1st May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Effective in the reapplied cheekpieces but last season's career-best form came once fitted in a visor; needs to be right on his game to win this and that wasn't the case on his Newmarket comeback. |
40/1 |
|
16th 9 (1) |
16th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Improved in headgear over 7f last term, winning in first-time cheekpieces on the July course (good to firm) in June and in a newly fitted visor at Southwell in August; also scored in latter aid at Chelmsford (also AW) in October; slight worry slow starts were a feature of his last two runs but might have needed a rest by then; not ruled out on this reappearance. |

Had a wide draw but still went close at Wolverhampton last month (6f), as she did in a Redcar nursery last season; well held at Goodwood since then but needs considering with blinkers on for cheekpieces. |
7/1 |

8th 2 (5) |
13th Jun 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Found to be in season when closing out last year with a poor one and has had a couple of wide stalls to deal with this spring, including when going close from the front at Wolverhampton last time; nudged up 2lb but is one to consider. |

Sole win from 14 starts came at Thirsk (6f nursery; good to soft) in September 2024; she has been in decent form this year though, runner-up to Keldeo over C&D (Class 5 fillies') in April and pipped on the post in an added visor at Wolverhampton (6f; 13-8 favourite) latest; 2lb higher. |

Back to the same career-low mark she cashed in on in first-time blinkers at Goodwood in June (6f, good), progress having stalled again since; holds Connie's Rose and Papabella on last month's Leicester clash, albeit she was fairly well held herself; place rather than win claims. |

0-13 (placed four times on turf from 5f-7.5f); acts on Tapeta but not yet proven on Polytrack; drops 2lb after latest Wolverhampton defeat (6f, Tapeta) and has the ability to have a say from this mark. |

Unsuited by soft ground when a beaten favourite 18 days ago and now 0-11, but her close third at Ffos Las (7.3f, good) two starts ago was a good effort and she should be okay back on Tapeta. |

Record of 1-13 but he's been knocking on the door at Lingfield (6f, AW) and Goodwood (5f, good) this spring; up another 2lb but this strong traveller was only just caught last time and the first three pulled clear in that race; key player. |

Record of 1-12 but his win was on turf (5f, good) last summer and he had a near-miss on Polytrack at Lingfield (6f) in March; nudged up 2lb but that was a bold bid from a tough draw last time and he's respected back in trip. |
