21st May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Seven-time winner in France; 0-5 for Tom Dascombe but his second at Newbury (1m2f, good to soft) in September was an eyebrow-raiser, looking all over the winner before being claimed late; considered on this stable debut/reappearance. |
4/1 |

25th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
7-26 when trained in France and Spain, including soft-ground wins; new yard for last three outings, with front-running second at Sandown (1m2f, good) and Newbury (1m2f, good to soft) on last two occasions, so he's in the mix. |
9/1 |
|
2nd 2 (3) |
19th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Multiple winner on French soil; ran to market expectations (rank outsider of seven) in June on British debut but it was a different story, having attracted support, when second of eight at Sandown (1m2f, good) the following month; winner went in again next time; respected. |

12th May 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
1lb below sole winning mark, but very lightly raced since joining this yard and failed to beat a rival at Newbury (1m1f, good) last month; probably best watched on AW debut. |
33/1 |
|
14th 10 (14) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
1-10 over 2022 and 2023 for Ralph Beckett, with a soft-ground win over 1m2f, but modest over hurdles in 2024; fourth of eight for new yard in a 1m2f handicap last July was a partial revival but that was his only race last year and he needs to build markedly on it; tongue-tie (worn as a hurdler) returns. |
20/1 |
|
3 (2) |
24th Jul 2025 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Soft-ground winner in 2023 for Ralph Beckett; failed to transfer that form to hurdles last year for Anthony Honeyball; market instructive on debut for Marcus Tregoning. |

24th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Veteran who was successful in this race last year but was in slightly better form at the time (completed an October double); that said, wasn't entirely disgraced when in the frame on latest start. |
10/1 |
|
4th 1 (10) |
9th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 37y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Veteran who has lost his way since winning over this far at Lingfield in June (good to soft) but he is dropping back from Class 4 level. |
20/1 |
|
4 (1) |
12th Sep 2025 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Veteran who showed a fire still burned when winning a six-runner handicap at Lingfield (1m2f, good to soft) in June; third to Beach Point over C&D next time but his form has dipped on his last two starts; rain will help but vulnerable to less-exposed sorts. |

28th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 23y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Ten-race maiden who has form figures of 0487057 in handicaps; had some traffic issues when prominent in the market at Kempton last week but this is competitive back on turf and he still has stamina to prove at this trip; others preferred. |
11/2 |
|
7th 11 (3) |
20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Nine-race maiden who has form figures of 048705 in handicaps and he finished behind two of today's rivals over C&D two weeks ago; continues to drop down the weights but he needs to raise his game. |
9/1 |
|
5th 4 (2) |
4th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Eight-race maiden who has shown ability on a couple of occasions; his last three efforts leave plenty to be desired though, including on his Yarmouth reappearance (7f, good to firm) 13 days ago; look elsewhere. |

12th Sep 2025 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Five-time AW winner, the latest in December (1m3f, Polytrack) off this mark; her turf form is less convincing though and she needs to raise her game. |
33/1 |
|
1 (4) |
11th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Dual winner here, the latest over this trip from 2lb lower last December; modest in three outings since returning in May, but the return of the visor looks a positive. |
12/1 |
|
6 (6) |
24th Jul 2025 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Five-time AW winner at up to 1m4f; seemed unsuited by the drop back to 8.5f at Epsom most recently but remains a maiden on turf and current mark looks difficult. |

27th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Outsider of four when belatedly doubling his tally at Southwell last April (1m3f); hit the frame last two starts (1m2f) but not sure dropping back to 1m will see him play a bigger role this evening; Penfolds Grange looks connections' best hope. |
20/1 |

4th 10 (9) |
20th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
On a losing run and he's yet to hit top form this season, going keenly when a fading fourth of 11 over C&D in February; needs to take a step forward. |

28th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 3f 179y Class 6 |
11st 1lb |
Rediscovered some form when a front-running third at Epsom (1m2f, good to soft) before never dangerous on AW earlier this month; has since changed hands and left Billy Aprahamian; acts on soft but not proven over this far. |

15th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Two Yarmouth runs over 1m2f in April tie in closely with A Major Payne, including when a whisker behind that rival in third a fortnight ago; shouldn't be much between the pair again. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 5 (4) |
30th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 23y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Won at Sandown (1m2f) last summer in first two starts after cheekpieces were refitted; respectable in two of four starts since, including over C&D recently when finishing on the heels of A Major Payne; should be competitive. |
3/1 |

4th 9 (11) |
11th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 23y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Successful in first two starts after cheekpieces were refitted, at Sandown (1m2f; good and soft) last summer, but his form went to pot in two of three runs after; needs to return in much better form. |
