2nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Below par last time but consistent otherwise of late and may well rebound, especially back at Pontefract; form here features two wins in 2025 and a close second this spring. |
6/1 |
|
8th 6 (5) |
17th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Closed out last season with a pair of soft-ground wins and has resumed in good form off his revised mark, latterly when having two of these behind at Chester last weekend; adaptable as regards ground and tactics, and can't be discounted. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 16 (7) |
8th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Ended 2025 in top form and he has returned to action with two solid placed efforts; 2lb ahead of the handicapper and no obvious reason why he wouldn't give it another good shot. |

1st 7 (6) |
21st May 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Didn't get home over 7f here in March and is back off the same mark as when winning over C&D in January; off two months, but has won after much longer absences and high on the list. |
8/1 |
|
6th 11 (4) |
14th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
6f win here in January and two respectable efforts have followed; won't mind going back up in trip but this is a stronger race than he has been contesting. |
6/1 |
|
4th 3 (2) |
23rd Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
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. |

1st 6 (1) |
30th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Multiple sprint winner who runs here for the first time; 3lb higher than when last winning at Leicester (6f, good to soft) last September; not badly treated on that form but has yet to produce one of his better efforts following a break. |
16/1 |
|
3rd 3 (5) |
21st Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Below best at Leicester recently; had won two of his three 6f starts previously but he hasn't run on the AW for over a year and has been better on Polytrack than Tapeta in the past. |
7/1 |
|
3 (11) |
7th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Has returned to 6f for last three races and produced figures of 121; had his race won some way out here four weeks ago (on good) and should go well again despite the 6lb rise. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Handicapper hit him hard after he made it 2-2 at Leicester off 7lb lower last month and he's struggled in two runs since; hit and miss now and, while it's possible he'll bounce back, others have more pressing claims. |
16/1 |
|
8th 4 (10) |
8th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
6yo who hit a personal best with his emphatic win at Leicester (6f, good) last month but he flopped off this revised mark there 12 days later; has won at Ripon but he's not easy to predict and needs to bounce back again after that last run. |
9/1 |
|
4th 2 (5) |
25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Winner of both C&D starts, in October (good to soft) and when pulling well clear (good) 12 days ago; has won on good to firm so the warm weather shouldn't be a problem but the new 9lb higher mark might be. |

9st 9lb |
Won at York last summer (5f, good to soft) on her second start but beaten 14 times since; ran okay without improving for the step up to 7f at Kempton two weeks ago; drops in class but drawn widest and others may have her measure. |

6th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Back to winning ways at Wolverhampton (5f) in January and suffered a poor run when sixth of ten over C&D last time; ought to be thereabouts. |
7/1 |
|
6th 2 (4) |
31st Jan 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Took advantage of a favourable mark when scoring at Wolverhampton (5f) four weeks ago, but he was well below that form at Southwell last time; remains well handicapped on old form but he needs to step up again after that last run. |
11/2 |
|
6th 1 (8) |
21st Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Dropped out over 5f two starts ago but good efforts at 6f either side of that and he's 11lb lower than a close fifth of ten over 5f on this track in January; can be on the premises. |

Record of 0-12 this term but has frame possibilities on recent form and win possibilities provided his game is raised a touch; still 13lb below last winning mark. |

23rd Oct 2025 Soft 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Ended 2024 with a pair of soft-ground 6f wins at Catterick, the second of them off 13lb higher; handicapper has held the upper hand this year but conditions will suit and he helps form a strong hand for Tim Easterby. |

19th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
His fourth win (Brighton last September) temporarily halted a downward trajectory but he hasn't been placed since; best to look elsewhere. |
16/1 |
|
7th 8 (9) |
26th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Scored off 3lb higher on turf in September; however, far from consistent otherwise for current stable, latterly at Lingfield since returned to AW; well weighted but isn't a solid option. |

20/1 |

9th 4 (1) |
9th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Won two in a row over 6f last May and July (good and good to soft) but he's had just three inconclusive runs this year, again slowly away but finding little and eased at Newmarket 25 days ago; has something to prove. |
33/1 |
|
8th 1 (6) |
15th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Smart handicapper back in the day for Eddie Lynam; wasn't able to add to his tally of five wins when moving to Britain; operating at a much lower level nowadays, but not showing much for present trainer. |

25th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Made it 0-16 when well beaten here 16 days ago; however, this was his first attempt at 7f and he was running well over 6f previously (AW/good to firm); might not be far away off a career-low mark back down in trip. |
5/1 |

6th 8 (3) |
9th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

9st 6lb |
0-10, but made a promising return from 181 days off when second of seven at Nottingham (6f, good) last month; each-way claims if as effective on AW debut. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 7 (2) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 18y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Nine-race maiden in his first season last year, best form when making the frame twice over 6f; having been absent for six months, the market signals may offer further guidance. |

6 (6) |
27th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
3yo maiden who has frame possibilities on bits of form; chance of winning depends on how well he responds to cheekpieces (replacing the visor worn last time). |

4th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Both her wins have come at Newcastle (6f and 7f); she has finished second in 7f classified events on her last three starts but she will need to raise her game to take this; the return to Newcastle and switch to blinkers could spark extra though. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 5 (6) |
22nd Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Losing run stands at 18 but she has run well in 7f classified events on Tapeta on her last two starts, the latest here last week; strong claims in this field. |

27th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |

Gained both wins on Newcastle AW last November; 0-12 on turf but has frame possibilities on some of her recent form; drop back to Class 6 looks a plus. |

3rd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
10st 3lb |
Rarely seen on turf these days even though he has won on it; only one piece of recent worthwhile form and jockey (who also owns him) is having her first ride in public; has dropped 8lb below his last winning mark, though, so could play a part if producing his best. |
20/1 |

8th 11 (3) |
21st Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Back to form when a close third of ten at Wolverhampton 19 days ago (6f; visored); still has plenty of handicapping scope and the booking of Tom Marquand is a positive; back up in trip with cheekpieces returning; contender. |
13/2 |
