18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Record of 1-13 but he's been knocking on the door at Lingfield (6f, AW) and Goodwood (5f, good) this spring; up another 2lb but this strong traveller was only just caught last time and the first three pulled clear in that race; key player. |

2nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Record of 1-12 but his win was on turf (5f, good) last summer and he had a near-miss on Polytrack at Lingfield (6f) in March; nudged up 2lb but that was a bold bid from a tough draw last time and he's respected back in trip. |

25th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 5 |

Only gone beyond 5f twice, not looking to see out 6f on either occasion (both first time out); otherwise made a pleasing comeback from a similarly wide stall here 39 days ago and is entitled to improve. |

18th May 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Won off this mark at Yarmouth (5f, good to soft) last October but hasn't got going in four runs this year, beating only one rival; needs to show more. |

4th May 2026 Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
C&D winner; had a good time of things in 2025, winning four times; she has finished last in her three AW runs this year and has only dropped 3lb; may need some more help from the handicapper. |
20/1 |

7th 4 (1) |
21st Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won at her beloved Yarmouth (5f, good to soft; from 4lb lower) last October; hasn't been at her best since returning to AW recently; this is a fraction easier and she could strip fitter but others are more appealing. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 16y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Looked as good as ever when holding on to win from the front at Bath (5f, good) this month; also suited by this C&D but managed only fifth on her next two starts and might remain vulnerble off a mark this high. |
5/1 |
|
5th 1 (1) |
26th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
C&D win on May 4; came up shy under a penalty at Windsor one week later (race won by Correspondence) but she can race off 2lb lower today; should run her race but it won't be easy trying to dominate in this field. |
9/2 |
|
5th 1 (2) |
11th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Did well for Grace Harris in 2025 and she has continued the good work this time around, getting off the mark for the year with a game win at Bath last week (5f, good); has a penalty to shoulder but she is well drawn and should make another bold bid. |

26th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |

Running well in defeat in recent months, including over C&D; should remain competitive but this is a step back up in class. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 4 (3) |
19th May 2026 Good 0m 4f 217y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Has seven wins on turf and is edging closer to another judged on his recent seconds at Bath and Nottingham; should go close. |
15/2 |

2nd 3 (1) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Made a good return to turf when narrowly denied over 5f at Bath (good) 13 days ago; nudged back up 3lb but remains 1lb below the mark he defied on AW last autumn; needs considering. |

28th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 25y |
9st 6lb |
5f AW winner in Britain in August 2024; failed to fire in 2025 and hasn't looked a winner in waiting in three runs for this stable; dropped 6lb for heavy defeat at Gowran latest (1m, gd-yld); can only watch down in trip. |
25/1 |
|
13th 6 (18) |
20th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y |
9st 11lb |
Achieved a peak rating of 70 in 2024 based on consistent form over sprint trips at Chelmsford; regressive last season; has failed to beat a single rival in two Dundalk races; tackles this trio for the first time with a lot to prove. |
25/1 |
|
9th 4 (7) |
10th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y |
10st 1lb |
1-15; well enough handicapped on juvenile form when he achieved a peak rating of 70 based on consistent form at Chelmsford; regressive last season; no sign of a revival in form when last of 14 on Irish debut over 7f here two weeks ago. |

8th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Used to make all but has become tactically versatile; all four wins have been at Chelmsford where he ran well from a wide draw 11 days ago; 0-6 on the AW here but three times a runner-up and much respected from stall 1. |
11/4 |
|
5th 9 (9) |
28th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Has been a trailblazer in the past, but showed he didn't have to lead when successful off this mark on his reappearance over C&D in May (all four wins here); should appreciate the return to this venue following three lesser efforts on turf and one for the shortlist despite the outside stall. |
9/2 |
|
6th 2 (2) |
9th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 4f 217y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
All four wins have come on the AW at Chelmsford including from 2lb lower on his reappearance in May (5f); however, he is 0-26 elsewhere and 0-15 on turf so not hard to have reservations. |
20/1 |
