7th 1 (4) |
1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Resumed winning ways at Musselburgh (5f) in April but below form all three runs since, fourth of six at Haydock (5f) 11 days ago; this course winner is handily weighted if back on his A-game though. |
3/1 |

4th 1 (5) |
21st May 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Won at Musselburgh (5f, soft) last month and bounced back from lesser run at Newbury (6f, good) when sixth of ten at Thirsk (5f, good to firm), beaten just over 2l; back on slow ground today and could be in the mix. |
15/8 |

6th 4 (9) |
2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Easily saw off 11 rivals at Musselburgh last month (5f, soft), form that has received some boosts since; not well drawn when down the field at Newbury two weeks ago (6f, good); mark left alone and perhaps vulnerable over 5f on a quick surface. |

9th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Not without his quirks but he has plenty of ability for one of his rating and everything clicked in a Class 6 handicap at Salisbury last June (6f, good to firm); three second placings followed and he should be sharper with last week's return to action under his belt; the start will remain a concern but he is not discounted back at 6f. |
12/1 |

15th 17 (17) |
1st May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Not without his quirks but he has plenty of ability for one of his rating and everything clicked in a Class 6 handicap at Salisbury last June (6f, good to firm); three second placings followed and he should win more races this year; the drop back to 5f for this habitual slow-starter is a concern though. |

2nd 8 (4) |
8th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Quirky but has plenty of ability and he comes here on the up, following his Salisbury win (6f, good to firm) with good seconds at Newbury and C&D; mark still within range but he's missed a couple of intended runs on account of soft ground and even good to soft would be a query. |

A three-time 7f winner for Kevin Philippart de Foy in 2024; largely in good form for his current yard last term so he's no forlorn hope on his return. |
7/1 |
|
6th 7 (1) |
9th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Has proved resurgent with two placed efforts on turf since wearing cheekpieces; still well treated on peak form, which has been achieved on AW; interesting back in this sphere. |
3/1 |
|
3rd 4 (12) |
8th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
All three wins for his former yard came over 7f at Kempton; two runs for his new stable, showing he retained all his ability when second at Ffos Las ten days ago (7.4f, soft; cheekpieces first time); drops to 6f for the first time and it remains to be seen how he'll cope with it. |

2nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Ended last season with a success but has contrastingly started this campaign in poor form; hasn't won away from Newmarket since 2022; others preferred. |
20/1 |
|
8th 5 (4) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Beaten a long way at Leicester three weeks ago on his first run of the season but heavy reappearance defeats have been a recurring theme in his profile; won over C&D (good to soft) on final outing last year and he's also run well here on fast ground; could bounce back with a big run. |
12/1 |
|
7th 4 (7) |
25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Said goodbye to 2025 with a Newmarket win (6f, good to soft) in November; has won on good to firm but he missed a recent intended return on the surface and this might be needed anyway (soundly beaten here last April). |

2nd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Upped his game following a gelding operation last summer, winning over C&D in September before making giant strides on AW; returned from a break to do best of the rest behind runaway winner Double Rush over C&D 17 days ago; could have a nice prize in him this year but the 5lb turnaround with Double Rush may be insufficient. |
9/1 |
|
2nd 3 (8) |
15th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

Successful over C&D (off 15lb lower) seven months ago in last turf attempt and has subsequently developed into a useful AW handicapper; possibilities, provided he transfers the improvement back to this sphere. |

18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 182y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Both wins over 6f (good to soft and good), latterly at Doncaster last July when fending off one who won his next two, the pair clear; winless since but he had some excuses and is weighted to go well at this realistic level. |
8/1 |
|
14 (8) |
24th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
C&D win (good) in July; respectable efforts in defeat since but he missed an intended run due to heavy going last October and conditions could be an issue. |

30th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Won a 6f Chepstow maiden on good to soft last season; fair form this term, winning off 5lb lower at Doncaster in July (6f, good) and creditable fourth over 5.5f at Chester last time (soft); return to 6f will suit; chance. |

30th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |

Veteran who popped up at Newbury (6f, good to soft) in June; hasn't matched that in four runs since but is back down to that winning mark; still needs to turn the ship around. |
16/1 |

8th 11 (9) |
8th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Veteran who popped up in a Class 5 at Newbury in June (6f, good to soft); hasn't matched that in three runs since and although he's often run well here, he's yet to win at the track; minor money perhaps his best hope. |
16/1 |

4th 1 (2) |
25th Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 3y Class 5 |

Understandably not the force of old now a 10yo but he registered the ninth win of his long career when beating ten rivals at Newbury (6f, good to firm) in June; held in a couple of Class 4 events since but he's won here in the past and is not ruled out on this drop back in grade. |

9th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Took a C&D nursery (heavy) this time last year and September's Windsor score reaffirmed her greater effectiveness on slow ground, so largely drying forecast not ideal; back down 2lb now unpenalised again, at least. |
16/1 |
|
9th 12 (10) |
8th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Seems ideally suited by testing ground, winning a nursery on heavy last season and running her best race for her new stable when powering home over C&D last week (soft); penalty demands more but she's coming here at the top of her game and that doesn't apply to several of her rivals. |
5/1 |

1st Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 5 |

23rd Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |

Back to form after wind surgery, third at Southwell in December before a 6f win at that track last month; bumped into a well-handicapped opponent over C&D 17 days ago (Woodhay Whisper third and 3lb worse off); solid chance off an unchanged mark. |

7-43; took full advantage of an easing mark to gain his third Salisbury win when making all (6f apprentices', good) last week; escapes a penalty, and Jake Dickson is able to claim his 7lb allowance, so his chance is an obvious one; clearly the one to beat if in the same kind of form. |

1st 8 (1) |
14th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Dual C&D winner last year (including this race), the most recent coming off a 2lb higher mark than today's; fair third at Kempton (7f) on his return and ran a solid race when fourth at Bath 27 days ago; claims back at this track (form figures here read 3114). |
3/1 |

17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 4 |

Five of his six wins (5f/6f) have been on turf but he returned after five months off with a fair third at Kempton (7f) three weeks ago; should benefit from that run and he has possibilities on this drop back in trip. |
