25th Feb 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Comfortably won a division of this last year and a 2lb drop for finishing best of the rest at Wolverhampton last time means she lines up off the same mark; key player. |

1lb higher than when third of five in this race last year and well treated on her best form but recent performances leave her with a bit to prove; best efforts have come at Kempton. |

18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 182y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Lightly raced maiden; creditable show over 1m on Southwell AW when returning from absence last October but he dropped right out over 7f at Musselburgh (hood added, now discarded) recently; has question marks now but he had 6f form as a 2yo so the return to shorter is surely worth a go. |
10/1 |

9th 4 (9) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who returned from an absence to finish runner-up off 2lb higher on his 1m Southwell handicap debut last October; too keen when failing to reproduce that form in two subsequent AW outings around the turn of the year but possible he could pack more punch at the finish if a first-time hood (combined with tongue-tie) helps him to settle better; runner-up on turf (good to firm) as a juvenile. |

23rd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |

Form figures of 742 reflect steady progress but he's been absent for 13 months; had gelding/wind operations since the last run and now goes in tongue-tie; market helpful. |

27th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 96y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Mid-division on both starts here (2024); solid AW campaign has been carried over to turf with seconds at Doncaster (7f) and Redcar (1m) on last two outings, beaten a nose last time, and those put him firmly in the mix. |
5/1 |

2nd 1 (7) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Consistent during the AW season and posted another good effort when second to progressive rival on recent turf return at Doncaster (7f, good to firm); also suited by 1m and probably won't be far away. |
7/1 |

2nd 4 (5) |
2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |

9st 0lb |
Off the mark at the ninth attempt when winning a 6f novice at Lingfield (AW) in December; upped 4lb for that but he is unexposed as a sprinter and he makes more appeal than many. |

23rd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |

Six-race maiden; hasn't progressed on turf but posted his peak performance when second over C&D in June (last AW attempt); interesting off current mark returned to this scenario. |

30th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 4 |

4-8 at Wolverhampton and never ideally positioned in a slowly run race here 17 days ago; never ruled out around here. |

5th 4 (5) |
13th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 4 |

Wouldn't judge him too harshly on latest Newcastle run and he had bumped into a progressive one at Southwell beforehand; this C&D winner has the assistance of Billy Loughnane in the saddle today; contender. |

6th 6 (8) |
6th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |

Had a good spell in late 2025, winning three Tapeta handicaps at around this trip; good second to a well-handicapped opponent at Southwell last week; one to take seriously. |

23rd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |

Largely consistent form on turf features a summer double (1m); not disgraced last time; has frame possibilities, provided she's as effective back on AW (third attempt). |
10/1 |

18th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Knocking on the door prior to winning at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) in July and she followed up at Leicester (1m, good to firm); only fifth of seven back at Doncaster last month but that may have come too soon, just six days after Leicester; this 3yo could rediscover her progressive ways today. |
5/2 |

5th 1 (2) |
16th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Progressive filly who made her breakthrough in a C&D handicap (good to soft) last month and followed up with a clearcut win on fast ground at Leicester last Sunday; remains unexposed at this trip and she's a major player under penalty in hat-trick bid. |

23rd Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

Seven-race maiden who has finished a tailed-off ninth in his four handicaps (6f-9.4f) and all of those runs have been on AW; opposable. |
25/1 |

9th 8 (1) |
10th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |

Showed a little promise when with Jane Chapple-Hyam, but rather lost his way and was sold for 3,000gns in October; well beaten on both starts for new yard (gelded after first of them); cheekpieces now tried. |

Didn't progress for Jane Chapple-Hyam and he was a well-beaten 50-1 shot on his stable debut in December (6f); gelded since; market should guide. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Two wins at Redcar (1m, good to firm/good to soft) last summer, the latest off today's mark; however, it was a tame end to the season and this 8yo needs to get back on track on his reappearance. |
50/1 |

23rd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Has gained all wins on turf, mostly at Redcar; has gone off the boil since last success and this return to AW seems unlikely to help, with record in this sphere far from solid. |
20/1 |
|
12 (13) |
4th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 2 |
8st 4lb |
Showed his liking for Redcar with C&D wins in June and July; things haven't gone to plan since but he met trouble here in August and a heavy defeat last time came in the Legends race at Doncaster; not inconceivable he'll bounce back. |
