10th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y |
9st 10lb |
Three AW wins when trained by Ed Dunlop; 0-5 for current yard but was placed over 1m2f here last month; 1m too sharp last time; each-way claims if on his game. |

1st Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 0y |
9st 11lb |
Four-time winner for Ed Dunlop (three on AW); won four-runner 1m2f Brighton handicap last July; best run for this yard so far when a dead-heating third of nine with Star Mind over the extended 1m2f here last Friday; this trip is possibly a bit shorter than ideal. |

Four-time winner for Ed Dunlop (three on AW); won four-runner Brighton handicap last July; some encouragement in his 5.75l seventh here in February, but that is sandwiched between two poor efforts for new yard. |

21st Jul 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Competitive in 1m2f handicaps on last three outings and came from off the pace to win by a nose at Yarmouth (good) on latest, getting off the mark at eighth attempt; back up 2lb and has each-way chance. |

9th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 23y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Seven-race maiden; beaten around 5l by the same prolific winner in 1m2f amateur riders' races the last twice, latterly at Bath (firm) in early May; edging down the weights; a possible. |
5/1 |

2nd 5 (5) |
5th May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 37y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Six-race maiden; beaten around 4l when fourth behind Beauld As Brass at Lingfield (1m2f) 12 days ago but she ran well for a long way and has a big swing in the weights with her old rival here; could pose a serious threat if she backs up that last run. |

9st 0lb |
2-19 overall, with both his wins in 2024 over 1m2f; three thirds from his five starts (all 1m2f) this season and he would have been close up at Leicester last time but for some interference, but he did not shape that day as if this shorter trip would suit. |

Two wins last year, the first over C&D; ran well on when third over C&D on first two starts this season, but not done quite as well since; could bounce back at this track. |

22nd May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Improved his AW strike-rate to 6-29 when justifying favouritism at Wolverhampton (9.4f) in March; record of 0-8 on turf but he ran some good races on fast ground last summer and he's in the mix off only 2lb higher than last time. |

In good heart at present and landed his fifth AW win at Lingfield (1m2f) last month; second on his last two starts and holds obvious claims with Billy Loughnane on board for the first time. |

11th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 23y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Won first three handicaps for new yard on AW and turf (1m-1m2f) by emphatic margins but he couldn't defy a penalty in October and was a further 5lb higher when soundly beaten in November; now has to show he can cope with current mark; regular cheekpieces left off. |

31st Oct 2025 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Ridden last three years by Alice Bond; 3-3 for Martin Dunne with his wins over 9.4f at Wolverhampton, 1m2f at Brighton and 8.6f at Wolverhampton, with varied tactics but all in good style; 4lb penalty and just six days off but that latest run was career-best form and this 7yo is on the march. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Good run of turf form last summer included when making all at Yarmouth (1m2f, good to soft; acts on quicker) in July; mostly creditable efforts on AW since winning at Wolverhampton (1m4f) in November and he's far from ruled out back on grass despite tricky stall. |

17th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |

Course winner in November over 1m4f and he was narrowly denied over C&D in January; respectable fourth of nine here under Ryan Kavanagh 51 days ago and he enters calculations again. |

Low grade on the Flat; pulled up in a Southwell handicap two weeks ago when 80-1; now visored. |

This is a belated return to hurdling and he's now a bottom-grade Flat performer; opposable. |

17th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |

Record of 2-3 over C&D, all in classified events, most recently winning last June; far from consistent since but looks interesting returned to this scenario. |

4th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Got off the mark at the 21st attempt under an inspired ride by today's rider Matthew Lloyd Slater at Leicester (1m4f, good to firm) last month; needs to be kidded along and his resolution is more key than the 4lb rise he now picks up but should go close. |

17th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 179y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Some mixed results this year but he wasn't far away over C&D (good to firm) in June and was as close as he's ever been to a first win when beaten a neck at Yarmouth (1m2f) last week; on the premises. |
7/1 |

8 (4) |
9th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 23y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
0-19; best form for this yard when second in an AW classified in January, when wearing a tongue-tie and cheekpieces; that headgear combination was swapped for a hood when a respectable fourth at Leicester (also 1m4f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; drop back to this trip not an obvious plus. |
8/1 |
