13th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Six wins last July-October, with the initial success over 1m2f/1m1f followed by four wins at 1m or 7f; good second on 1m1f reappearance this term but a disappointing favourite two weeks later; even if he's back to form, this sort of trip (tried twice before) poses a big question. |

26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Six wins last July-October (various ground) and campaign concluded with a near-miss over C&D; continued the good work when runner-up in a recent 0-95 here (1m1f, good) and he has leading claims back down in grade. |

12th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 3 |
8st 4lb |
Only made her debut a year ago and won six times over 7f-1m2f on turf between July and October, five of them at Ayr; ended the campaign with a nose defeat here (1m, soft) and just 1lb higher, but not sure what to expect after five months off; 2lb out of the weights. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Had a good run of form at about 1m last summer, winning two in a row at Pontefract and Nottingham (both on good); soundly beaten on return from a winter break but may well have more to offer after that. |

25th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
In fine fettle last summer, winning at Pontefract (1m) and Nottingham (8.5f); found Poet's Dawn too strong at Carlisle (1m, soft; similar terms) in September; off since finishing third at Newcastle in October, so may strip fitter for this comeback run. |

The cheekpieces were working well until below par at Thirsk where she reportedly ran flat; has to bounce back from that and has a bit to prove on the AW (0-4). |

9st 9lb |
Sole win (from 18 attempts) came back in August 2024 and he was down the field on this month's reappearance at Ayr; however, he may have needed that run and he's on a competitive mark on the pick of last season's form (including here); each-way chance if he's back on song. |

Only win was in a maiden claimer at Navan (1m, good) in August 2024 when trained by Tony Mullins; three good runs on the AW when last seen out (October) and one to consider. |

4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 35y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Made all twice in a row in April (8.3f/1m, good); down the field at York (7f, good) but that was in a big field and he raced wide; could bounce back with a bold show if conditions suit (well beaten on soft going last November but displayed signs of promise on such ground early in career). |
7/1 |

15th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Has done all his winning on good ground, including over 1m at Nottingham and Ripon in last two starts; this front-runner switches to a much bigger field, which may not be ideal, but is otherwise at the top of his form; effective at 7f. |
15/2 |

1st 1 (8) |
25th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Built on Wolverhampton comeback run (7f) when showing a willing attitude to make all at Nottingham (8.5f, good) last Saturday; 3lb rise isn't insurmountable but he is set to compete from a career-high mark, so further progress is required. |

A winner of six races when trained in Britain but failed to hit the frame for this stable last season; on a dangerous mark but lacks a run and likely best watched. |

22nd May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
His last win was 13 months ago but he's run two promising races for James Owen this spring and was beaten less than 2l when sixth at Leicester (1m, good to firm; 9-2) last time; remains well handicapped on his old form and he shouldn't be far away. |

9th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 53y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
On a long losing sequence (for Darryll Holland) but he made a promising start for James Owen after a three-month layoff when second of 12 in 1m AW Lingfield handicap nine days ago; big shout nudged up 1lb. |
7/1 |

2nd 4 (8) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |

Signed off for Darryll Holland with a below-par run at Kempton in January but had gone close off today's mark over C&D a few days earlier and it will be interesting to see what James Owen can do with him (same owner). |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Veteran (13-102); has won just once since late 2024, when edging out Pallas Lord over C&D (15-2) on New Year's Day; kept on after a slow start, fifth of seven, at Ayr (7f; 33-1) four weeks ago. |

Getting on for three years since his last turf success and this veteran hasn't been at his best at Newcastle of late; opposable back at 7f and returned to the grass. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
10yo who posted a fairly encouraging reappearance run at Ayr (7f, good to firm) last Wednesday, when rallying for fifth of eight; each-way possibilities if building on that run now back up in trip. |
33/1 |
|
5th 9 (9) |
20th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
8st 4lb |
10yo who made a winning reappearance here in 2024 (sole course win from 29 attempts) and was on the scoresheet at Musselburgh last September; however, his campaign petered out tamely and a return to form is needed on his seasonal debut. |

5th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 20y Class 6 |

21st May 2026 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Still seeking her first win for this yard but she has often run well, including over C&D, and her second here three weeks ago was on the back of a 190-day layoff; that form has been franked and she should make another bold bid. |
9/2 |

2nd 9 (7) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 6 |

1-27 on the Flat; some of last year's best efforts came here but she's still opposable for win purposes after 190 days off. |

21st Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |

1-26 on the Flat and unplaced in all six starts on the AW; takes on better company from 5lb out of the weights; up against it. |
