11th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 13y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Sole win from 19 attempts came off this mark at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) last August and he's also effective on turf; however, he's been soundly beaten on his three outings this spring. |

29th Apr 2026 Good 1m 4f 104y Class 6 |
8st 7lb |
Came good off a similar mark at Newcastle (1m2f) last summer but well held in two outings there this year; his hopes are pinned on a change of headgear (first-time cheekpieces for blinkers) sparking a revival. |

In-form 3yo who ran well at Southwell (2m) last time when attempting to follow up her Wolverhampton success (1m6f); still unexposed beyond 1m4f and receives weight all round in this field; shortlisted. |

25th Apr 2026 Yielding 1m 2f 40y |
8st 12lb

First reserve; won a Punchestown handicap last year over 1m1f; some decent hurdle runs over the winter and a solid Leopardstown return over 1m; considered. |

4th 6 (13) |
12th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 0f 0y |
9st 10lb |
Won off lowly mark (42) at Punchestown last September; made the frame on her final two starts before being switched to hurdling; fair form in that sphere, apart from a poor handicap run last time; probably best over further; tongue-tie added now. |
8/1 |

21st Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 0f 110y |
10st 13lb |
Flat winner off lowly mark last September; far from disgraced in three 2m maiden hurdles, including one over C&D (sft-hvy) when she was ahead of Whats New; opening mark looks fair and she isn't taken lightly on handicap debut. |

9th Aug 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Mixed results during a busy past few weeks, though did set a new personal best when beaten only 2l in a C&D handicap (good) two starts ago; needs to bounce back from last week's Hamilton flop. |
16/1 |
|
8 (8) |
2nd Aug 2025 Good 1m 1f 35y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
0-8 but probably his best run yet when coming from behind to be 2l off Dwindling Funds at Ayr (1m2f, good); that was only his second run in blinkers. |
7/1 |
|
10 (6) |
28th Jul 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
8st 6lb |
Lightly raced 3yo who produced one of his better runs when 3l sixth of eight in first-time blinkers (retained) at Musselburgh (1m4f, good) last Tuesday; however, he needs another step forward to get off the mark today. |

9th Aug 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Dual fast-ground 1m4f Leicester scorer in 2022-23, but longer still since he last showed sufficient on any of his occasional returns to shorter; okay last-time hurdles effort, at least. |
16/1 |

6th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 145y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Lowly rated on the Flat nowadays; belied 80-1 odds when second in Kelso novice hurdle (2m, soft) in February but was swallowed up after racing too freely in the lead in Perth handicap (2m, good to soft) in April. |

11th Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 1m 1f 130y |
8st 10lb |
Last of her four wins was in September 2023; respectable fifth in handicap at Gowran (1m1f, good) in July but she missed the break and was tailed off in a classified event at Ayr last month (1m2f, good); 4lb wrong. |
18/1 |
|
3 (13) |
9th Aug 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
April's Gowran Park third (9.5f, yielding) is a sole podium finish in her last 18 runs, but she ran to that sort of level again back there last time, reaffirming she can still operate on sounder surfaces also. |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Resumed winning ways at Wolverhampton (9.5f) in February but he was pulled up back hurdling at Hexham 24 days ago; not out of things if shrugging off that effort. |

9th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 5 |

C&D winner off 6lb lower last August (good); some sound runs since, both over hurdles and on the Flat (9.4f Wolverhampton winner in February); chance. |

20th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
His two wins last August/September (including here) came over 1m2f but he travelled well when fourth over 1m1f here (good to firm) on his recent return to action, when short of room close home, and he may have versatility in terms of trip; interesting contender. |
11/2 |
|
4th 6 (1) |
5th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 20y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Winner over 1m2f at Ayr (good; cheekpieces on) and Newcastle (tongue-tie and cheekpieces) last term; some fair AW runs after that but off since January and perhaps best watched this time (no cheekpieces). |
12/1 |
|
7 (2) |
1st Nov 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Won at Ayr in August and he responded well to a tongue-tie when scoring over C&D the following month; still looks feasibly treated but he flopped here (last of nine) and needs to bounce back after that laboured effort. |

13th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 6 |

Without a win since May 2023, and her form over the last two seasons does not suggest she can end her drought. |

9th Aug 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

C&D scorer on fast and slow ground, but not for over two years now and never in headgear; two 18l defeats here last month to forgive. |

11th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 13y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Won at Newcastle (1m, AW) last September and she's been effective over this far and on turf in the past; however, she's won just one of her 28 races and has to improve upon this year's form (1m-1m2f). |
10/1 |
|
4th 12 (10) |
27th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
10st 7lb |
Breakthrough win at Newcastle (1m, AW) last September was her 23rd career start; not so hot since, so it's probably best to look elsewhere for win purposes. |
