23rd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Still to find top form this term but he is well handicapped if a change of headgear (first-time visor for cheekpieces) gives him a lift. |

4th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Still to find top form this term but he's attractively handicapped and may prove resurgent with Tom Marquand up for first time; gained last three wins off current mark or thereabouts. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Unraced on this course but some of his best form has come over Sandown's similarly stiff 5f and he's back on the same mark as his latest win there last June (good; a race he'd won 12 months earlier); every chance of being seen to good effect back on turf. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 16y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
Yet to build upon his pleasing seasonal debut in April, but didn't run badly when third of six over C&D (good to soft) eight days ago; 1lb lower now and Ashley Lewis claims his useful 5lb; considered. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 6 (2) |
21st May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 16y Class 4 |
8st 4lb |
C&D (good to soft) winner in August 2024 who won at Lingfield (good to firm) and Ffos Las (again 5f, good) last year; couldn't repeat his win in that Lingfield event 12 days ago and this looks a warmer race than the ones he regularly contests; still not dismissed. |
7/1 |
|
5th 5 (4) |
9th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 4f 217y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Turned in an excellent effort when winning the corresponding race from stall 1 (14 ran) last May, flying out of the stalls and able to get to the stands' rail after one furlong; also won at Ffos Las in July and both victories were achieved off a higher mark than today's; not at best last time but his reappearance had been encouraging; should make a bold bid. |

9st 8lb |
Resurgent 8yo who has won three of his last five starts including a game success at Catterick (6f, good) last Saturday; only 2lb higher back on AW and he's a big player again in hat-trick bid. |

18th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
August's Sandown win was over 5f but showed he's as effective over 6f when landing a Kempton apprentice event on Wednesday; escapes a penalty and Jack Dace also takes 5lb off so his claims are obvious from a handicapping perspective; yet to win back to back in his 56-race career, though. |

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. |
9/2 |

3rd 8 (3) |

30th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Has been a superb servant, winning 16 of his 99 starts, including three this year; comfortable scorer at Haydock (6f, good to firm) latest, for which he has gone up 6lb; has won over C&D and looks a player again. |
2/1 |
|
1st 5 (5) |
25th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
The winner of two of his six starts this year, both over 6f at Southwell; he could only manage fourth of the nine runners back at Southwell 20 days ago and he will need to raise his game to defy this mark. |
6/1 |
|
4th 1 (3) |
5th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Made it 4-15 under Connor Planas when gaining his second C&D success ten days ago; did it comfortably enough and despite a 5lb higher mark, is a major player if in the same form; stable also runs Melissa Honey. |

More prolific on AW than turf; arrives on the back of a solid third at Lingfield two weeks ago (6f, AW); each-way shout. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 4 (4) |
27th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Didn't fire at Chelmsford last time but was a close second off a reduced mark here (5f) two starts ago and this return to 6f won't be a problem; can make his presence felt. |

19th May 2026 Good 0m 4f 217y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
All four wins when trained by Philip McBride, the last of which was in September 2024; sold for 6,000gns to join new yard in February; unseated when rearing at the start on stable debut; first-time cheekpieces go on and he's best watched. |
33/1 |
|
5 (12) |
6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Four-time turf winner but he's 0-6 on AW and finished down the field at Chelmsford (6f) and Southwell (5f) in final two runs for Charlie McBride; changed hands for 6,000gns and he has something to prove for new yard after 166 days off; blinkers removed. |
16/1 |
|
3 (2) |
30th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Proving expensive to follow of late and his effectiveness on AW is still to be proven; stepping back up to 6f could help though and his rider takes off a handy 5lb. |

18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 21y Class 2 |
8st 7lb |
C&D winner who reappeared with a creditable third of 17 at Ascot (5f, good to firm) 17 days ago; ran right up to his best with that bold bid and he's respected off unchanged mark; cheekpieces added. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 1 (14) |
1st May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Second of 16 in a C&D handicap last September; followed that with a good run at Haydock but he went up the weights and was well beaten at Lingfield when last seen; ran well after an absence last year but perhaps a shade high in the weights for this. |
12/1 |
|
2 (1) |
4th Nov 2025 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 4 |

Two 5f wins on fast ground this summer and he has run well in defeat on his last three starts; climbing the weights as a consequence and there are other fast horses in today's field. |

His fourth win (Brighton last September) temporarily halted a downward trajectory but he hasn't been placed since; best to look elsewhere. |

7th 8 (9) |
26th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

Scored off 3lb higher on turf in September; however, far from consistent otherwise for current stable, latterly at Lingfield since returned to AW; well weighted but isn't a solid option. |

1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 34y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Three C&D runs have yielded two wins and a fifth (in Class 3 company); has only run to form once this year, finishing third to Harry Brown at Lingfield (5f, good to firm) last month; below par last time but if he is to revive it is likely to be under these conditions. |
8/1 |
|
7th 5 (5) |
19th May 2026 Good 0m 4f 217y Class 6 |

Has won five times on turf but is not the force of old; has dropped a career-low mark but this race looks too competitive. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 6 (7) |
9th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 4f 217y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Front-runner with a C&D win on his record; 6lb lower than when seeing off seven rivals at Newbury last summer (5f, good to firm) but not easily recommended on 2026 evidence and he will find easier races to dominate than this. |

20th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |

Prolific in 2024 and made a welcome return to form when third last week at Nottingham (5f, good); has slipped to a good mark. |

3rd 3 (6) |
15th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won six times in 2024, all over about 5f in first half of the year, but well below her best this season and going the wrong way. |

9th 3 (7) |
2nd Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Won six times in 2024 but well below her best this season; continues to slide down the weights but her last couple of efforts were particularly disappointing and she has a much better strike-rate on turf. |
