2nd May 2026 Good 1m 1f 197y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
A very useful 1m2f/1m4f winner at his best but lightly raced in recent seasons and came in last of 11 in 1m2f AW Lingfield handicap in February; needs to take a big step forward after a break. |
25/1 |

11th 2 (7) |
27th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
2024 November Handicap winner who reappeared with an easy win over 1m2f at Epsom last September; respectable sixth of 22 when bidding to defend his November Handicap crown on sole subsequent start last year; well-beaten fifth on the snow at St Moritz on return last weekend; entitled to come on for that outing but this test might be sharp enough for him. |

28th Sep 2025 Good 1m 2f 17y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Progressive and useful sort but lacks recent match practice, having been absent since winning last year's November Handicap (1m4f, soft), and isn't crying out for this drop back to a sharp 1m2f. |

28th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 113y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Respectable fourth in the Great Metropolitan on last year's card; one win last year but it did come here in July and he was a respectable second at this track (also 1m2f, good to soft; has won on good) in September; below par over 1m on his final start in October and this trip again asks a question; market might help ahead of his comeback. |

12th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 37y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
11-race maiden who returned to form with a near-miss over 1m2f on the AW 14 days ago, despite being slow to break; first-time headgear might do something for him; effective on grass. |
5/2 |
|
2nd 3 (8) |
28th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Ten-race maiden and out of sorts so far this year; had little chance the way the race panned out in a 1m handicap here two weeks ago but he was keeping on well at the finish, boding well for today's return to 1m2f; drops in class too and he's of interest. |
4/1 |

8th 11 (12) |
14th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Three poor efforts this year and the handicapper's proving slow to relent; this the shortest trip he's tackled, round an easy course (no problem with 1m4f last year), and he isn't obviously fancied from yet another wide stall. |

11th Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Can take a hold so needs a good pace to aim at, which he had when winning at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) in August; still 2lb higher, but this may also be run to suit him so very much frame material. |

28th Sep 2025 Good 1m 2f 17y Class 3 |

Below par on AW last time; largely respectable form on turf otherwise this season, notably Windsor success in August; possibly has very little in hand off current mark, however. |

28th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 3 |
8st 10lb |
The latest of three turf wins was at Windsor (1m2f) two weeks ago; one respectable effort on dirt at Jebel Ali in early 2024 but unraced on AW in Britain and he likely needs something new for Tapeta if he's to defy his current mark. |

30th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Generally kept away from fast ground but won easily on good to firm over 1m2f here for Olivia Tubb early in the month; retains most of her ability for a yard enjoying a good spring but she's often come to hand early in the past and a 7lb rise will test her. |

1st 6 (5) |
9th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Registered his seventh win when scoring on reappearance at Newbury (1m2f, good) last year and he attracted support before finishing second to an unexposed sort at Epsom (8.5f, good) on recent comeback this time; might not come on a bundle for that but this trip is more suitable and he's in with an each-way chance. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 7 (9) |
28th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 113y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Seven wins include five off higher marks than this and one at this track (1m2f, good to soft; has won on good) in 2023; this trip might be on the short side but he went close on his reappearance in 2024 (1m2f) and scored off 2lb higher on his comeback last term (1m2f); not readily dismissed. |

25th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 2f 43y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
8yo who has been in and out this year and was soundly beaten at Epsom (1m2f, good to soft) last time but prior to that he won over today's C&D (soft) and can't be ruled out off this 4lb higher mark. |
10/1 |

28th Sep 2025 Good 1m 2f 17y Class 3 |
10st 1lb |
Retains ability aged eight and bagged a Class 2 prize at Doncaster (1m2f, soft) most recently, taking record to 10-56; back on career-high mark but drops back in grade; may well remain competitive. |
9/2 |

13th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
In top form when racking up a hat-trick last summer and back at that level when third over 1m2f at Newcastle (AW) and Chepstow (good to soft) this summer; never a threat after a slow start at Southwell last time but more than capable off this mark and Oisin Murphy takes the reins. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 198y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won three times at 1m2f (good/good to firm) in her time with Mark Walford and Brian Toomey last year; encouraging start at 1m4f for this yard and first-time blinkers worked a little too well when a still-respectable fourth of 15 at Newbury (good) a fortnight ago; can do better wearing that aid for the second time. |

15th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |

Bagged three 1m2f turf handicaps last April-July for other yards and started well for her new handler with two 1m4f seconds this winter; two lesser displays have followed, however, and she now wears headgear first time. |

9st 12lb |
Veteran who dipped into a seller for his latest win, at Beverley (8.4f, good to firm) in July; current handicap mark is workable but his AW strike-rate is 0-13 and he needs to rebound from two down-the-field runs. |

Has become inconsistent but looks interesting back down in grade, having recorded 1m2f wins at Ascot and Sandown in last two attempts in Class 3; admittedly on a tougher mark now. |

7th 6 (14) |
30th Aug 2025 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
4yo who won twice last year and got back on track to score over C&D (good; acts on soft) this June in first-time cheekpieces, which have been kept since; did not get run of the race in a top York handicap seven weeks ago and not discredited; needs a second look. |

4yo who won twice last year and got back on track to win in first-time cheekpieces at Sandown (1m2f, good) last month; appeared to have more in hand than the 1l winning margin suggests and he might have more to offer in the headgear; could be in the mix under a 5lb penalty. |

10th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |

Best known as a Wolverhampton specialist (six wins), but is 2-5 over C&D and the middle leg of his hat-trick early last year included this race off 3lb lower; interesting. |

10th 4 (7) |
28th Sep 2025 Good 1m 2f 17y Class 3 |

Has a much better stirke-rate on AW than on turf; form dipped back in this sphere when last seen; on a difficult mark and isn't the percentage call. |
