6th 2 (1) |
16th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
8yo who has been in fine form this spring, winning at Kempton (1m, AW) last month then going close at Lingfield (1m, AW) and Nottingham (1m, good); there's every chance he'll be bang there once more. |
9/1 |
|
2nd 2 (7) |
9th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Ten-time winner split between turf and AW; his last success was at Kempton (1m) last month and he backed that up with a close third under a penalty at Lingfield (Polytrack); did well to hang in there from a wide draw last time and he's respected off same mark back on turf. |
13/2 |

3rd 1 (10) |
14th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Tended to do his winning in the past in batches, which bodes well under a 4lb penalty for last Monday's Kempton victory; well over two years snice he won off a mark this high and hasn't been at his best in two previous runs here but needs considering. |

14th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
Two 1m wins on turf last season and added another on AW at Lingfield (1m2f) in December; however, he needs to produce a bigger performance than he's managed across his four outings this year. |
40/1 |
|
5th 2 (5) |
28th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 17y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Won at Lingfield (AW) in December on first crack at 1m2f and raced wide when sixth of 14 at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) last month; this two-time turf winner remains unexposed at today's trip and is not ruled out. |
7/1 |
|
6th 8 (12) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Won at Lingfield (Polytrack) in December on first crack at 1m2f; another big run when third of five in Listed race there (1m2f) next time; bounced back from lesser run when staying on for seventh of 12 at Wolverhampton (8.6f, Tapeta) recently and he could be in the mix now back up in trip. |

6th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Record of 7-20 on AW and 2-3 since wearing visor; midfield in notable handicap at Lingfield (1m2f) most recently, shaping as if this return to further is worth exploring; could go well in the retained headgear. |
6/1 |
|
5th 5 (10) |
17th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
2-2 since visored, following a 1m2f Chelmsford win with a ready success at Wolverhampton last month (9.5f); up 4lb and drawn widest so she will need to produce another personal best to complete her hat-trick. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 4 (2) |
4th Nov 2025 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Five-time AW winner who looks a solid contender, having shown herself back in better form with third-place finishes off current mark at Southwell (1m) in last three outings; should be thereabouts again. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Notched two wins over this trip at Catterick last October and he has returned in fine form, making much of the running when a close third over C&D (good ground) last month; solid claims again from an unchanged mark. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 3 (8) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Won a pair of 7f handicaps at Catterick last October; returned from a 142-day absence with a fine third at Newcastle three weeks ago, doing best of the smaller stands' side group; runs off the same mark today and should make another bold bid. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 5 (9) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Ended a long losing run with back-to-back wins from the front over 7f at Catterick last October; found out in a higher grade at Musselburgh on final start; fifth is the best he's managed in four AW starts (all here) and it's likely best to look elsewhere on reappearance. |

4th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
His 8.6f win at Wolverhampton came out of the blue and he then disappointed at Nottingham; seems far more effective on the AW; tries an eyeshield. |
14/1 |
|
8th 9 (2) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Back to form a little out of the blue when awarded a handicap over the extended 1m at Wolverhampton four weeks ago; retains plenty of handicapping scope on peak form but has done the majority of his winning on AW. |
6/1 |
|
1st 4 (1) |
20th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Patchy record since winning a 9.4f handicap here in December 2024; however, that was when ridden by Rossa Ryan (form figures of 11312 when he has been aboard) and he is now 13lb lower; needs a revival but a return to positive tactics from stall 1 would seem likely and he is an interesting contender. |

27th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Continues to edge down the weights and he's well treated on the pick of this winter's course form; however, he appears to have gone off the boil on his last few outings and needs to raise his game. |
8/1 |
|
6th 9 (5) |
11th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
2lb lower than for his Newcastle win in December but his form has gone off the boil more recently; Billy Loughnane, who was aboard for the Newcastle win, is back on today so a revival wouldn't be a bolt from the blue. |
10/1 |
|
6th 4 (7) |
28th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
In good form over 7f/1m in mid-winter but below par on his last two outings and needs to bounce back. |

26th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 192y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Runner-up twice in a row on AW in the winter before two heavy defeats; didn't run badly back on turf at Haydock (1m, good) last month after a break but the AW seems to be his preferred sphere (just 1-15 on grass). |
33/1 |
|
7th 7 (4) |
21st Jun 2025 Good 1m 0f 37y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Four-time AW winner but he was disappointing at Southwell (1m) in his final two runs during the winter; has won on turf but that was a long time ago and he doesn't have a great record when fresh; opposable on return. |
16/1 |
|
11th 4 (6) |
22nd Feb 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Disappointing here three weeks ago but he'd been in good form beforehand, second at Wolverhampton and Lingfield around the turn of the year; needs a full revival to win though. |

1st Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Useful in his younger days and has found his level again for Ian Williams latterly, albeit he's been expensive to follow; two wins and a close third from four runs round here and remains consistent, so enters calculations for his new yard after three months off. |
13/2 |
|
3rd 5 (3) |
5th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Both wins have come at Wolverhampton over further; arrives in form, third to Poetic Force at Wolverhampton (8.6f) before finishing a close second at Newcastle last week (7f); should remain competitive. |
4/1 |
