28th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Ended last season in excellent form, winning twice here (2m/2m2f) on good ground, and is probably still on a workable mark; big chance. |

1st 11 |
14th Apr 2026 Good 2m 2f 140y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Readily gained a first victory in over two years when capitalising on a reduced mark in 2m handicap here nine days ago; carries a 7lb penalty but can go well again. |
6/1 |

1st 7 |
5th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Soundly beaten on first two starts for Gary Hanmer but his fifth of 11 at Carlisle (2m1f, good to soft) a fortnight ago was much more encouraging; could have a say if able to build on that recent effort. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 198y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
1m2f win here (good to firm) kicked off a four-timer in 2023 for Tony Carroll but he took a while to rediscover his level before scoring at Chepstow (1m4f, good; first-time blinkers) for this yard one year ago; raced mainly over further without success since and latest start over 1m can be written off; handy mark and he's not discounted on just his second visit to Brighton. |
9/1 |
|
11th 5 (1) |
7th May 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Beaten 11l when fifth in a maiden hurdle at Hereford three weeks ago; only 1lb higher than for his win at Chepstow (1m4f, good) last May but will likely find this trip on the sharp side on his switch back to the Flat (all wins over 1m2f or further). |
14/1 |
|
5th 4 |
16th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 53y Class 4 |

Some notable Flat form last year, in victory and defeat; two runs over hurdles last February were underwhelming but raw ability is respected. |

31st May 2026 Good 1m 4f 8y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Disappointing behind Letsbefrank at Hamilton a fortnight ago but in good form otherwise this year, with two close seconds sandwiching a win at Musselburgh (1m4f, good); no surprise if he bounces back with a big performance. |
10/1 |
|
8th 1 (2) |
17th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 15y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Dependable sort who's been in career-best form with a win and two seconds this season; raised another 2lb but can show up well again after his two big runs at Musselburgh (pipped by Letsbefrank latest); highly respected. |
11/4 |
|
2nd 4 (6) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 4f 104y Class 4 |

Second at Newcastle (1m4f, AW) on reappearance and better than ever when taking a 14-runner handicap over C&D (good) two weeks ago; 4lb higher this time but firmly in the mix. |

3rd 3 (2) |
9th May 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Two-time bumper winner (soft/good) who made all in Flat handicaps on Tapeta (1m6f) and turf (2m, heavy) in the second half of last year; ended last season on a low note but he still has scope for further progress and needs watching in market on his return. |
4/1 |
|
8th 8 (5) |
17th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Two-time bumper winner (soft/good) who has made all in Flat handicaps this year at Southwell (2m, AW) and Chester (1m6f, heavy); he did it easily last time and, while the form perhaps shouldn't be taken at face value, a 6lb rise isn't overly harsh; could make another bold bid. |

Ready winner at Bath (2m1f, good to firm) on reappearance and good second under Mason Paetel over C&D (good) eight days later; another bold bid looks on its way. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 1 (2) |
25th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
Ready winner back from a break at Bath (2m1f, good to firm) eight days ago; his 4lb rise is offset by Mason Paetel's claim; likely to follow up. |

21st May 2026 Good 1m 7f 217y Class 6 |

Solid effort when second of eight at Catterick ten days ago (2m, good; first run in this combination of accessories); should remain competitive. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 2 (4) |
11th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 189y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
The odd sign of spark last season and he may have needed his recent comeback run; down to a dangerous mark but this 7yo has been regressive and is winless since July 2024; cheekpieces return for first time since last May. |
6/1 |
|
6th 4 (4) |
25th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Drew a blank in 2025 but he did reach the frame on both C&D visits, including C&D reappearance; off for 196 days; David Allan partners the other Tim Easterby runner. |

30th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 196y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
6-19 on AW but 0-10 on turf; none of her turf form matches this mark and her second here last September was on heavy going; blinkered latest; while moving back up from 1m4f should help, others have more pressing claims. |
8/1 |
|
9th 11 (8) |
8th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
6-19 on AW but 0-9 on turf; came second here (1m6f, heavy) in September but returns to turf on a 5lb higher mark, and still has something to prove on this surface; sports first-time blinkers. |
16/1 |
|
5th 7 (7) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Mainly consistent on the AW and was only around half a length behind Shrimp Shady when fourth of eight at Wolverhampton (1m6f, Tapeta) last month, but she finished last of 14 in this race last year which does leave her with a bit to prove. |

18th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Held off his revised mark since an AW win late last year; not a bad effort back from a break returned to turf at Chester (1m4f; good record first time out in his younger years) last time and this is less competitive. |
8/1 |
|
8th 15 (10) |
8th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Ended 2025 with emphatic AW win at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) and came second on both AW starts in January (1m2f/9.4f); absent since lesser effort in February and not ideally drawn today but has two course wins (including a division of this race in 2024) on his CV; could have a say. |

18th May 2026 Good 1m 6f 32y Class 5 |

Five wins on AW, including at Southwell (1m6f) last time; may remain competitive but looks by no means guaranteed to follow up, being 0-15 in Flat turf events; just 1-20 over hurdles. |
6/1 |

1st 3 (2) |
23rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Dual C&D winner; beaten 2l when fourth of six here last month and he was unfortunate not to go even closer when fourth of 12 at Pontefract (1m4f, good to soft; short of room late on) 16 days ago; switches back to the AW with a good chance. |
7/4 |
|
4th 3 (7) |
7th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 5y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Returned to the Flat with respectable fourth of six at Southwell (1m4f, AW) last month but is still 3lb higher than for narrow AW win last autumn, and his Flat turf strike-rate is 0-14. |

30th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 196y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Both wins have been on AW (latest in March) and her only run at this track did not go well, when favourite over 1m6f on heavy on final start last term; close second with first-time cheekpieces at Goodwood (2m, good) on latest outing, however, is a notable positive. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 6 (4) |
2nd May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Both wins have been on AW and latest was on her Southwell reappearance (1m4f) in March; only 3lb higher than for that win but she faded at Wolverhampton (1m6f) last time and is untried at this trip; comes with risks attached and she's not been easy to predict in handicaps; first-time cheekpieces. |
5/1 |
|
5th 5 (5) |
17th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Unexposed filly who has proved consistent on the AW (721421), doubling her tally with a game success at Southwell (1m4f, Tapeta) last month after 182 days off (third and fourth won next time); only 3lb higher and has run well over this far on turf; major player. |

20th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 6f 87y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Front-runner who has won twice (1m2f/1m4f) on good to soft this season; only 1lb higher than for his last success but he can race freely and he didn't seem to get home when upped to 1m6f at Haydock last time. |

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

Front-runner who won twice (1m2f/1m4f) on good to soft this season; not sure to get 1m6f, as he raced freely to set up a clear lead at Carlisle last time but he also rallied that day to finish a creditable second; needs a second look. |

Lightly raced 3yo but she's struggled in most of her runs including two staying handicaps (1m6f/2m); dropped another 5lb but she needs a transformation with a visor now tried (wore cheekpieces last time). |

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

Standout effort was her 6l sixth of 11 in a maiden at Lingfield (1m2f, good to soft) on second start; 14-1 when remote on handicap debut over 2m (good to firm) on latest; connections turn to cheekpieces. |

Middle-distance pedigree; standout effort in three maiden/novice events was a 6l sixth of 11 at Lingfield (1m2f, good to soft) on second start; now goes handicapping stepped up markedly in trip. |
