22nd May 2026 Soft 1m 3f 218y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Three-time AW scorer; turf form features two good efforts but she's 0-4 in this sphere and was below par at Doncaster most recently; not the percentage call in this warmer contest. |
12/1 |
|
4th 2 (2) |
25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 197y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
A two-time AW scorer (around 1m4f) last spring and she resumed from six months off with a solid second of seven in 1m4f Wolverhampton handicap three weeks ago; she can make her presence felt back on turf. |
11/4 |
|
2nd 1 (7) |
4th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Novice win as a 3yo came after four months off, which is a positive as she returns from a six-month absence; looked to find this sort of mark just beyond her after two victories last spring (Tapeta, Polytrack) but this is less competitive. |

27th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Won his first five handicaps (including on Tapeta, unproven on Polytrack) but the last of those was in July 2024; generally disappointing since and, after 307 days off, this is a new trip on first run since changing hands and leaving Harry Charlton. |
10/1 |

24th Jul 2025 Soft 1m 3f 104y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Made it 5-5 in handicaps (including C&D, and on soft and fast ground) when winning at Newcastle last July and he was a good second on AW last October; however, he hasn't been at the top of his game on either run this year. |
11/1 |

6th 4 (8) |
14th Jun 2025 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Won his first five handicaps at about 1m4f on varying surfaces but his mark took a hit and he didn't run much of a race on his comeback at Thirsk, having been gelded; reservations on the back of that. |

Made a winning stable debut at Goodwood (1m4f, good to soft) last June but she's now 12lb lower following some lesser efforts; better is needed but any rain will suit. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Did well last spring and was placed five consecutive times last summer/autumn; now well handicapped on those exploits but beaten upwards of 8l on all four outings this year; can't rule out a revival but hard to be confident. |
8/1 |
|
7th 6 (16) |
13th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Did well last spring and placed five consecutive times last summer/autumn; now well handicapped on those exploits but down the field in his three appearances this year; latest was in a 1m4f race at Chester last week, where he'd been runner-up the year before, so there are doubts currently. |
22/1 |

10th 2 (9) |

Placed five consecutive times on turf/AW last summer/autumn and now well handicapped on those exploits but finished well down the field on first two appearances this year (1m6f/1m2f); hood removed after one use. |

4th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 4f 0y |

8th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Won twice over this trip for Ben Brookhouse last year but his stable/hurdle debut in December was underwhelming and he made a low-key return to the Flat last month; others have much less to prove. |
25/1 |
|
9th 5 (2) |
8th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Struggled on hurdling/stable at Newbury in December but his last Flat run resulted in a brave win at Newmarket (1m4f, good) in the autumn; still looks feasibly treated on that form and he's in the mix back from another break; had a second wind operation since his last run. |
11/2 |
|
4 (5) |
25th Sep 2025 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Had a good year, including a breakthrough win at York (1m4f, good to firm) in July; creditable second at Chester (extended 1m4f, good) 12 days ago and a 2lb nudge shouldn't prevent a prominent showing. |

8th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Led close home to open account at Newcastle (1m, AW) in November, his tenth start; not seen again since but has a favourable draw and could plausibly have untapped potential over middle distances on turf. |
8/1 |
|
5 (3) |
29th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 2f 50y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
0-4 for Dermot Weld and 0-4 for current yard; best this term when staying on well for close third at Carlisle (1m1f, soft) in July, despite hanging; it's possible to make excuses for his two starts since (AW debut on latest) and a return to form would give him a big shout; taken out of a soft-ground race at Leicester yesterday. |

28th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 113y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Respectable fourth in the Great Metropolitan on last year's card; one win last year but it did come here in July and he was a respectable second at this track (also 1m2f, good to soft; has won on good) in September; below par over 1m on his final start in October and this trip again asks a question; market might help ahead of his comeback. |
10/1 |

28th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 0f 53y Class 4 |

Usually gives his running and best of the rest behind an in-form rival at Epsom a month ago (1m2f, good to soft); that is more his trip though. |

13th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Ran poorly on final start last term but gelded soon afterwards and, with visor/blinkers dispensed with, he returned with a narrow win in 12-runner race at Thirsk (1m4f, good) last month, gradually working his way to the front in final strides under 7lb claimer Kyle McHugh; 4lb higher today but could have more to offer in what's only his second campaign. |
8/1 |
|
1st 1 (4) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 4f 8y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Got off the mark at Newmarket (1m4f) last April and in good form in handicaps after until coming in last of 12 back at Newmarket (1m4f) in October; since gelded and goes without usual headgear on his return. |
14/1 |
|
12th 7 (8) |
10th Oct 2025 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Won a 1m4f Newbury novice in May; ran in handicaps on last three starts, visored on second occasion and blinkered when good second of six under Mason Paetel at Chester (1m6f, good) latest; this race presents a stiffer task. |

13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 179y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
1m6f Listed winner on Flat who was sold for 600,000gns later in October; flopped at long odds-on for hurdling debut at Musselburgh last month; brought out just six days later for Grade 2 at Kempton (again good to soft) where he did better, but was weakening when hampered two out; should get the hang of this discipline in due course, but probably too late to feature in this finish. |
66/1 |
|
3rd 5 |
21st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 1 |
11st 0lb |
1m6f Listed winner on Flat who changed hands for 600,000gns last autumn; went off long odds-on for hurdling debut at Musselburgh (1m7f, good to soft) last Sunday but compromised his chance by racing freely/jumping none too fluently and could finish only fourth; it's far too soon to be writing him off but he needs a major leap forward just six days on. |
12/1 |
|
4th 8 |
15th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 124y Class 4 |
10st 9lb |
Progressive on the Flat for Andrew Balding and bagged Listed honours at Ascot (1m6f, good to soft) on last appearance; sold for 600,000gns later in October; withdrawn at Newbury last weekend due to heavy ground; market mover for the Triumph and looks a very interesting hurdles prospect. |

10st 12lb |
Odds-on winner over nearly 1m4f at Yarmouth (good) last month and ran okay on faster ground at Leicester (both runs in a visor); he's been found a very winnable race for his hurdle debut. |
6/5 |
|
4th 1 (4) |
9th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 179y Class 5 |

Finally got off the mark (headgear change) in four-runner Yarmouth handicap (11.5f) 11 days ago; up 4lb but could have more to offer for his current yard. |

9st 6lb |
0-8 for Charlie Fellowes; four runs for current yard, the pick when a close fifth over 1m5f at Lingfield (AW) three runs back; pretty poor since and he's now had lots of chances over various distances. |

9st 9lb |
Won at Hamilton (1m3f) in June and she had some close calls on turf the following month; still looks feasibly treated on that form but she couldn't hang in there back on AW last time and that was a bit disappointing; mixed messages. |
7/1 |

5th 6 (3) |
4th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Has improved this summer, winning at Hamilton (1m3f) in June and losing out by narrow margins on next two starts; soft ground excuses a subsequent defeat but her recent Brighton run suggests improvement is needed back on Polytrack (has form on the surface). |
6/1 |
|
4th 7 (4) |
7th Aug 2025 Good 1m 3f 198y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
An improving 3yo at about this trip before finishing last of 12 runners at York, where she was encountering slow ground for the first time; back on a sound surface she's dangerous to dismiss of what's still a fair mark. |
