18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Ended last season with some below-par efforts but built upon satisfactory reappearance run when runner-up at Ayr (6f, good to firm) a fortnight ago and remains 6lb lower than when winning over that C&D last summer. |

25th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Six-time winner, notably the 2023 Ayr Silver Cup, but two years have passed since the last victory; retained ability in a mixed 2025 campaign and he should be sharper with a run under his belt; drying ground won't be in his favour here though. |
12/1 |
|
12th 10 (2) |
7th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 2 |
8st 5lb |
One of the oldest contenders in this field and has done his winning over 6f/7f, mostly on ground softer than good; could well be tapped for toe in this belated first attempt at the minimum trip. |

Without a win since May 2024 but runner-up on three of his last four starts (6f/7f, good to soft/heavy) and his turn may well be near. |

14th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Won at Thirsk (6f, good) last June before following up at Chester (6f, good) a week later; well beaten in the Ayr Bronze Cup on his final start for Hugo Palmer and he beat only one rival home at Bath on his stable debut 27 days ago; visor back on (replacing cheekpieces worn last time). |
14/1 |
|
10th 2 (10) |
17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Ended last season with a heavy defeat in the Ayr Bronze Cup but he did well for Hugo Palmer last summer including a brave win off this mark at Chester (6f, good); returns in new headgear for new yard but he went close on his reappearance last term and he needs watching in market. |
16/1 |

19th Sep 2025 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb
|
3yo who won two in a row in June (6f, good) before close thirds on his next two starts (including over C&D on good to soft); his form dipped at Chester three weeks ago but he's an each-way possible if bouncing back. |

Wins have been over 6f on turf and 7f on the AW (Newcastle); has been running well for a while and latest effort back at Newcastle was better than it looks. |
5/1 |
|
7th 10 (10) |
20th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Record of 2-20 but his last win was over C&D last month and he was only beaten 2l behind Anthropologist here last time; remains feasibly treated on his best form and he has possibilities. |
9/1 |
|
4th 6 (1) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Promising third when back up to 7f at Southwell last month then won over this C&D, beating Concert Boy (due to run in the 5:00) by a short head; unexposed at the trip and respected up just 2lb. |

22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Over two years since the second of his two wins; lurks on a dangerous mark though and his two runs this year have seen him finish within 3l of the winner; has his first run at Pontefract but he is effective around a left-hand turn; can't rule out from a handy draw. |
6/1 |
|
7th 8 (2) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |
8st 9lb |
It's a long time since he won but he was a close third over C&D (good to soft) last September and was an encouraging sixth of 18 on reappearance at Thirsk (6f, good); refitted with cheekpieces (which are combined with his tongue-tie) for the first time since a win at Nottingham in autumn 2023; non-runner here on Sunday with a vet's certificate. |

9th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 4 |

Down the field on his reappearance at Thirsk three weeks ago but last summer's form brings him right into the reckoning and he could take a step forward today. |
14/1 |
|
10th 5 (10) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Prominent racer who enjoyed a purple patch last September, winning back-to-back Carlisle handicaps and coming up just shy in his hat-trick bid at Beverley; returns from 170 days off on a tough enough mark and others make more appeal. |
16/1 |
|
9th 9 (10) |
30th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
In fine form on turf lately including two wins at Carlisle (7f) last month, while his latest near miss at Beverley (7f, soft) was an even better effort; has winning form on Polytrack, but has failed to beat a rival in two goes on Tapeta (at Newcastle). |

17th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Soft-ground C&D winner last autumn who's twice been unlucky in big-field Thirsk handicaps switched to cheekpieces this spring; better off with Juan Les Pins than on his comeback and enters calculations. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 6 (8) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Both his wins have come on soft ground but he ran a cracker on good ground over C&D last week (cheekpieces first time), keeping on well behind an in-form sprinter; 1lb higher today but still a strong contender, especially with some rain in the forecast. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 10 (3) |
10th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Both wins have come over 6f on soft ground and remains 7lb higher than for the latest; opposable under the likely conditions and the run may be needed; cheekpieces replace blinkers. |

28th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Sole win from 19 starts came over C&D last May but he's falling in the weights without giving any obvious indication he's likely to take advantage; a first-time visor replaces the blinkers worn last time. |
11/1 |
|
8th 5 (4) |
15th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Campaigned mostly over 6f, winning once (off 8lb higher); however, attractively weighted and has possibilities if taking well to first-time blinkers, combined with new trip. |
8/1 |
|
5th 5 (5) |
5th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Record is only 1-17 and there is a question mark over his current form; however, a revival would put him firmly in the picture; gained his success off 8lb higher last May. |

4th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y |
10st 3lb |
Two AW wins (at 5f and 6f) last year for Jonathan Portman; has run well off marks in the mid-70s; now a modest 60, having shown very little in four runs for this stable, including a 7f claimer at Dundalk last time; definite chance on his old form; worth a market check. |
7/1 |
|
11th 12 (6) |
15th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y |
9st 4lb |
Two-time AW winner at 5f-6f for Jonathan Portman; hard to fancy on recent form (blood noted at both nostrils on comeback run), too keen at Ayr latest; first-time tongue-tie. |
33/1 |
|
9th 8 (6) |
7th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Two-time AW winner at 5f-6f for Jonathan Portman; blood noted at both nostrils after a poor run at Down Royal (7f) for May's stable debut and he beat one home back there (5f, also good) having stumbled last time; risky. |

17th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |

Wins have all come on Tapeta and does most racing now at Newcastle; decent second there last time, back up from 5f, but this is stronger and he's far from certain to repeat the effort. |

13th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
8st 5lb |
His penultimate start (C&D), his first after a wind op, offered hope he might be ready to exploit his much-reduced mark; less good over 6f last month and now steps back up in class. |
14/1 |
|
7th 4 (6) |
6th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
In blistering form two winters back, climbing from a BHA mark of 45 to 77; absent for 471 days prior to a 2025 campaign where he struggled; had a wind op in January and he hinted at a revival when beaten under 4l in a Class 5 here four weeks ago (5f); this looks more realistic and market confidence would look significant. |
