10th 6 (3) |
9th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Resurgent 8yo who has rattled off a hat-trick on AW this spring including a clearcut win at Wolverhampton (8.6f) last month; this is tougher off 9lb higher but he remains feasibly treated on his old form and is a five-time winner on turf; key player. |

1st 3 (2) |
9th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Returned to form when landing a C&D handicap last month and followed up under a 4lb penalty at Lingield (1m) a week later; another 4lb higher here but he can't be dismissed in his bid for the hat-trick. |
2/1 |

1st 2 (6) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Took advantage of a drop in the weights when winning at Wolverhampton last week (8.6f; ridden by Billy Loughnane); 4lb penalty to shoulder but he won off a higher mark as recently as October; one of two solid contenders for Tony Carroll. |

16th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
C&D winner who has been back to form over 9.5f at Wolverhampton this autumn, building on last month's second when going one better under Josephine Gordon 12 days ago; did well to get up after meeting trouble and 3lb rise should not prevent another bold bid. |

8st 5lb |
0-15 when trained by Ed Dunlop and absent since two disappointing 1m runs in the spring; on good mark and sports first-time tongue-tie on stable debut; blinkers removed; market may guide. |
12/1 |
|
8th 3 (1) |
8th Apr 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
14-race maiden but runner-up four times; ran no sort of race when last of nine in first-time visor at Newcastle AW (1m) last month and reverts back to blinkers here; the penny will drop one of these days and he's now on a career-low mark; not out of this. |

10st 0lb |
8lb lower than when twice runner-up on the Wolverhampton Tapeta (8.6f/9.5f) early last year, but is now 0-15 and has never tackled this far before; others preferred. |
8/1 |
|
4th 2 (10) |
20th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
14-race maiden; not beaten far at Lingfield (1m2f) this month, his second run after a layoff, and now 7lb lower than when going close over C&D in March 2024; not ruled out. |

3rd Sep 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |

18th May 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Scored over C&D off this mark last September; encouraging second over C&D last month on reappearance and the booking of Oisin Murphy may be significant; solid claims. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 2 (6) |
21st Apr 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Kept on well when making the breakthrough over C&D (from 1lb lower) last September; less effective since, losing a shoe when only fourth of five at Kempton (1m3f); it's possible that she'll return fresher off a 167-day absence. |

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

On the up since joining his current yard this winter and bagged a second success in 1m Kempton handicap four days ago; had something in hand there so holds leading claims under a 5lb penalty. |
4/6 |
|
1st 1 (2) |
2nd Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Made the breakthrough at Southwell (7f, Tapeta) in January, with a career best; hasn't posed a serious threat in two subsequent runs but he wasn't beaten far at Southwell last time and he looks worth another try at this trip; shortlisted. |

29th May 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Blinkered when ending a lengthy losing sequence in good style at Yarmouth nine days ago, drawing clear last 1f; up 6lb but another bold showing is on the cards with headgear retained and good amateur Henry Callan up. |
7/2 |
|
1st 7 (7) |
20th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 23y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
On a losing run and can get it wrong at the start; well handicapped on 2025 best, however, and he stayed on for fourth at Newcastle 19 days ago; conditions shouldn't be an issue and he commands respect with new blinkers now replacing cheekpieces. |
8/1 |
|
4th 12 (9) |
1st May 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
Not as good now and prone to the occasional off-day; still to win over C&D but his record suggests he needs considering off this mark, especially given his two previous runs in cheekpieces both resulted in near-misses. |

23rd Oct 2025 Soft 1m 2f 50y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Came from off the pace to win an uncompetitive 1m2f handicap at Ffos Las in July (good ground); never in the hunt at Wolverhampton last month; low mileage but improvement is required. |
20/1 |

8th 4 (2) |
20th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |

Came good at fifth attempt, keeping on well for narrow success in five-runner Ffos Las handicap (1m2f, good) in July; needs to transfer than improvement back to Tapeta but still warrants consideration. |

20th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Kept on for fourth here (8.6f) on handicap debut in June and also ran well when third at Brighton (1m2f, good) last month; struggled on soft ground three weeks ago (first-time cheekpieces) but has a fighting chance on this less-testing surface. |
12/1 |
|
8th 6 (7) |
29th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Has been quietly progressive in five starts and she rallied for a respectable third in a Brighton handicap (1m2f, good) three weeks ago; dropped another 1lb and has possibilities if she can find some extra spark with cheekpieces added. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 6 (1) |
6th Aug 2025 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Well held but some promise in her Ripon fourth (1m, good) and she still looked to be learning when fourth of ten on handicap debut at Wolverhampton (about 1m; AW); pedigree more about sprinting but one sibling did win over 1m2f and she's worth a go over the new trip. |

30th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Three C&D wins, the latest in a classified event this month in a refitted hood; failed to get to grips with the leaders here six days later but she's had a longer break this time; can be very competitive if race pans out. |
8/1 |
|
6th 1 (2) |
16th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Not the easiest to catch right but had hood refitted when gaining a third C&D win in classified event six days ago; she needs to back it up with the headgear retained. |
3/1 |
|
1st 5 (11) |
10th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Losing run up to 14, but she won two handicaps over C&D in the spring of last year and ran well to finish third of ten in a similar race to this over the same trip in January; not the best of draws, but respected on her best form. |
9/1 |
