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 |

Can be relied upon to give his true running around here, as was the case last week when passed late on by Port Noir; solid chance. |

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. |

11th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
1m2f winner; positives to take from three of his four runs over hurdles, last time chasing home an odds-on Olly Murphy runner; thereabouts. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 2 |
13th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 3y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Won on the AW last summer (1m2f) and launched hurdling career with two encouraging fourths, latterly when just over 2l behind Jamada in 18-runner Lingfield maiden (2m, soft) in January; safely held on subsequent handicap debut but still considered here, with the switch to better ground a possible source of improvement. |

21st Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Has three wins on AW, including two here (one over C&D); tends to race freely and needs to settle better to fulfil his potential; second over hurdles two weeks ago. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 4 |
7th Apr 2026 Good 2m 2f 111y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Gained a third win on the AW in February (1m6f) but regressed in his last four starts; 0-6 as a hurdler and returns to this discipline for the first time since pulled up in a handicap last summer for Chris Grant; hardly solid but this is a poor race. |
100/30 |

8th 10 (4) |
31st Mar 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Successful three times (1m3f, 1m4f and 1m6f) this January/February, with the last two wins at this track; way below form on last two outings (headstrong on Saturday) but he has bounced back before. |

16th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
No impact in a handful of turf handicaps this summer but different proposition back on AW and with first-time cheekpieces added to his tongue-tie (combination retained) when seeing off 13 rivals over C&D 17 days ago; only nudged up 2lb and will be very competitive if in a similar mood. |
7/2 |

29th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
0-5 on turf for new stable this season; hinted at possible return to form in first-time tongue-tie two starts ago but suffered heavy defeat last time (breathing issue reported); sports cheekpieces for AW return; risky. |

13th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 1f 201y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
1-6 in 2024 for Sir Mark Prescott; not so good this year and, although beaten about only 3l on two of his last three starts, he needs to drop further in the weights unless improving on that 2025 form; tongue tied last time (upped to 1m2f) and today. |

18th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Yet to add to his turf nursery win three years ago but kept on for fourth off basement mark at Leicester (1m2f, good to firm) in August and did not enjoy the run of the race in 1m4f AW classified last time; considered each-way. |
10/1 |

26th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
33-1 second in a Wolverhampton classified (8.5f, Tapeta) in March; didn't get the breaks when an eye-catching fifth on her penultimate start and she wasn't beaten far when fourth of 12 in a Leicester handicap (1m2f, good to firm) 16 days ago; kept on in the latter and this new trip could unlock a bit more; interesting. |

11th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |

30th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Landed hat-trick this time last year, including two round Brighton, so this track won't be a concern; a string of poor efforts since, though, including when beaten a long way behind Pride Of Nepal at Windsor last week. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Fired off a hat-trick at this trip in cheekepices last May/June but he's been well held on last five starts, including when making his comeback at Yarmouth last month; visor (unplaced previously) is tried for a third time. |

30th Apr 2026 Good 1m 1f 21y Class 6 |

1m2f turf hat-trick last May/June (Brighton and Pontefract); went off the boil and last of five on reappearance in January but he's well handicapped if springing back to life; 0-15 record at Yarmouth includes some places. |

3rd 14 (13) |
11th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 13y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Remains a maiden after 21 starts and he's had several opportunities off a similar mark to today's, but he's been running pretty well of late and was third of seven at Beverley last Monday; might have an each-way shout. |

3rd 9 (8) |
