27th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
High marks for consistency of late and belatedly doubled his tally at Lingfield last month (1m4f, AW); better form when going down by a nose under same conditions next time and it wasn't much of a drop off when third at Windsor last week; hard to rule out. |

18th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 99y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Just two wins from 25 starts but latest was at Lingfield (1m4f, AW) last month and he had a near-miss on his return visit three weeks ago; up another 3lb but he remains feasibly treated and his first win was on turf; strongly respected. |

Gained a first success (since his debut in 2023) when edging out Wonder by 1l in 15-runner handicap over C&D 24 days ago; 2lb worse off here but still not taken lightly. |

2nd May 2026 Good 1m 1f 197y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Progressive son of New Bay who returned with an impressive victory in 1m2f Nottingham handicap last month; hiked up 8lb but showed a good turn of foot there so big shout. |

1st 2 (7) |
8th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Won a maiden at Haydock (1m, good) last May but he's not really gone on from that in handicaps since; ended last season with two respectable thirds at this track (8.3f/1m2f) but he needs to find something extra after 161 days off. |

29th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 2f 50y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Won maiden at Haydock (good) in May and a good, plugging-on third here (good to soft; alongside Sea Poetry) three weeks ago; lesser displays over 1m2f (good) and 1m1f (soft) in between seem to dent his prospects, though. |

29th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 2f 50y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Won last November (7f, good to soft) on her only start as 2yo; minor honours in four races this season (the exception was Royal Ascot) and she made late gains to take a good fourth of ten here (1m, good to soft) on latest, closing to within a short head of Love Beach for third; that was her best form and suggested that this new trip is well worth a go, which is backed up by her pedigree; considered. |

15th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Two Yarmouth runs over 1m2f in April tie in closely with A Major Payne, including when a whisker behind that rival in third a fortnight ago; shouldn't be much between the pair again. |

3rd 5 (4) |
30th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 23y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Won at Sandown (1m2f) last summer in first two starts after cheekpieces were refitted; respectable in two of four starts since, including over C&D recently when finishing on the heels of A Major Payne; should be competitive. |
3/1 |

11th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 23y Class 4 |

Successful in first two starts after cheekpieces were refitted, at Sandown (1m2f; good and soft) last summer, but his form went to pot in two of three runs after; needs to return in much better form. |

8th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Led close home to open account at Newcastle (1m, AW) in November, his tenth start; not seen again since but has a favourable draw and could plausibly have untapped potential over middle distances on turf. |
8/1 |
|
5 (3) |
29th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 2f 50y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
0-4 for Dermot Weld and 0-4 for current yard; best this term when staying on well for close third at Carlisle (1m1f, soft) in July, despite hanging; it's possible to make excuses for his two starts since (AW debut on latest) and a return to form would give him a big shout; taken out of a soft-ground race at Leicester yesterday. |
