30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 182y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Had a solid 2025, winning three times (5f/6f), but hasn't finished in the first eight this year; dropping in the weights but needs to turn a corner; perhaps a change of headgear will help. |
25/1 |

16th 15 (10) |
13th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Three handicap wins during last season's 3yo campaign (6f/5f, including on good/good to firm) and the return of cheekpieces may be a plus; however, he's been unplaced on both runs this year; has to raise his game. |
25/1 |

9th 8 (13) |
25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
C&D winner who ended his 2025 campaign with a success and creditable effort over 5f at Newcastle (AW); was as good as ever in those two runs but he was well below form on his reappearance at Pontefract (5f, good to soft) 18 days ago; may have needed that run but he needs more progress to defy this mark. |

6th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
10st 0lb |
Progressive form in the spring, following a ready Brighton win with an emphatic success at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) on handicap debut; ran no sort of race when favourite at Newmarket's July meeting last time but has had two months off and now reappears in cheekpieces; may still be unexposed. |

10th Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
2-2 since faced with 6f on fast ground, following his ready Brighton win with an emphatic success at Doncaster on his handicap debut eight weeks ago; while that latest form hasn't been especially well advertised, he looked a smart prospect and has a major chance despite an 11lb rise. |
8/1 |
|
5 (4) |
17th May 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Chased home a notable opponent at Wolverhampton in December (7f); beaten at odds-on at Catterick on his return to action but he made no mistake dropped to 6f at Brighton 18 days ago; more on his plate in a handicap but could well have more to offer. |

17th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Only won one of his last 28 starts but has slid to a competitive mark as a result and was unlucky not to finish closer behind The Good Biscuit and Jonny Concrete at Chester (hampered late); holds each-way claims. |
16/1 |
|
6th 7 (3) |
8th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 4 |

He hasn't been at his best in recent starts but he has dipped to a dangerous mark and he has landed a good draw; this is a tough race in which to try and turn things around though. |
16/1 |
|
8th 4 (4) |
8th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 4 |

Mixed bag this winter but he returns to turf on a handy mark; this trip probably his best and a revival could be forthcoming. |

8th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Acts on good to firm and soft ground; won at Thirsk (6f, good) last spring and recorded his second AW win on his Southwell reappearance last month; up 4lb but he still looks feasibly treated and should get a good tow into this race; key player. |
3/1 |
|
1st 3 (2) |
2nd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Ended 2025 with a whimper but he has slipped back down the weights as a consequence; won on last year's reappearance and also ran a fine race after a 175-day layoff in 2024 so unlikely to be lacking in fitness; one to consider. |
8/1 |
|

19th Sep 2025 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

Got no run when favourite at Thirsk a fortnight ago and a line can be put through that race; effective in a big field and has an each-way shout on this year's best form (on various ground); wears first-time cheekpieces. |

4th 7 (5) |
1st May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Ended 2025 on the up and he returned from seven months off (gelded) with an encouraging fourth of 13 in 6f handicap at Newmarket 16 days ago; well in the mix off the same mark. |
5/1 |
|
4th 13 (3) |
15th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

Has gained both wins during the month of August but ran well (off current mark) on spring reappearance last term and when second to Eternal Sunshine on final outing; gelded since; each-way possibilities. |

13th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
10yo who may prefer slow ground but the going was good when he was fourth of 21 in this in 2024; often runs well here and he reappeared with a creditable fourth of 19 at Doncaster (6f, good to soft) in March; each-way possible. |
33/1 |
|
4th 10 (11) |
29th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 2y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Running in this race for the fourth time, having finished second in 2022 and 2024 and ninth last year; can go well fresh and he retained a good chunk of ability last year; should be arriving on the scene late. |
14/1 |
|
5 (8) |
24th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Not prolific for one of his ability but 6f on slow ground suits him well and he confirmed the promise of his fine run in the Ayr Bronze Cup when winning back at Ayr two weeks ago (6f, heavy); 3lb rise not excessive and he should make another bold bid. |

31st May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
His last win came over C&D last July (good; off 1lb higher) and he stayed on for a close third at Hamilton (5f, good) a fortnight ago; could build on that latest performance now back up in trip; firmly in calculations. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 10 (12) |
17th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
May have needed his recent comeback from six months off at his age (cracked late on having raced prominently from a low stall over 6f round Chester); 2lb below his last successful mark and has won here before but David Allan has opted for Vince L'Amour. |
12/1 |
|
7th 12 (2) |
8th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 4 |

9st 9lb |
Got up late to win Bath novice (5f, good to firm) for Andrew Balding in June; 0-9 for this yard (majority 6f, turf/AW) and first-time cheekpieces (removed) didn't spark an improved effort last time; career-low mark and second go at this trip (first is easily excused) the straws to clutch at. |
16/1 |

4th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |

27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Won her first two starts in handicaps last summer and had excuses off her revised mark latterly; a surprise maiden win on comeback last spring gives hope as she returns from eight months off and she remains low mileage. |
8/1 |
|
9 (2) |
6th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Progressive type with three 6f wins from six attempts, the latest at Carlisle (good to soft) in July; another fine effort when beaten 1l at Haydock (7f, good to firm; pulled hard) last month; this switch back to sprinting looks a positive move and she's high on the list again. |
15/2 |

10th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 37y Class 4 |

Record is 3-5, all wins over 6f, latest at the stiff Carlisle (good to soft); pedigree suggests this return to 7f is worth exploring; commands respect with further improvement plausible. |

String of good runs in 2025, winning three times with the last of them coming in the Ayr Bronze Cup 248 days ago (6f, soft); 4lb higher mark to contend with and may come on for this return to action. |
7/2 |

19th Sep 2025 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

|
Progressive since these cheekpieces went on, winning at Doncaster (5.5f, good) and Epsom (6f, good) and finishing a close third of 16 to Eternal Sunshine at Thirsk (6f, good) recently despite having to wait for a clear run; he's right at home on slow ground and could play a leading role. |
15/2 |

10 (11) |
6th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Thriving on racing this year, following a second of 22 at York by winning in clearcut style at Epsom (6f, good) three weeks later; a further 6lb rise demands another career best but that's not out of the question. |

31st May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Completed a hat-trick last August/September and she's capable of going close off her current mark if at her best; she's 3-3 here and perhaps the return to Thirsk will trigger a revival, but it very much needs to as she's not shone on her three outings this season. |

14th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |

Trainer won this last year with subsequent Group 1 winner American Affair; progressive last season and she's 1lb lower than when a close third of 18 over C&D (good) last October; however, well beaten on both starts this season (irregular heartbeat last time) and a major turnaround is needed. |

Ended a lengthy losing run at Newcastle in March and added to his tally with a Thirsk win last month (6f, good); better form when a close third in a Class 3 at Newbury three weeks ago and a 1lb rise is manageable; conditions won't be an issue having finished third in a Wokingham in his prime; high on the list. |

He had dropped a long way in the weights prior to popping up at Newcastle (5f) last month; ran well at Doncaster ten days later and back on the scoresheet with a Thirsk win last week (6f, good); won that apprentice race (no penalty today) last time with more authority than the winning margin might suggest but he is up in class today. |
