8th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Ran well on C&D return in 2025 before winning his next two over 6f, at Leicester (good to firm; made all) and York; his form took a downward turn after but his recent Newbury fourth was a step in the right direction and he's only 2lb higher than for the York win; looks good for a prominent show. |

17th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Won a couple of useful 6f 3yo handicaps in the first half of 2025; no progress since but he is edging back down the weights; returns from four months off and he will need to be at his best. |

31st Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 3 |

Jolt of improvement this summer, winning a strong Leicester handicap in May and following up at York in June (both over 6f on good to firm); well beaten on his last two starts though and returns from a 12-week break with something to prove. |

C&D winner one year ago; began the season with a good fourth in Listed company at Haydock but it has been a struggle since, albeit in good company; drops in class today but others look stronger. |

Has only won over 6f and returns to this trip after a second over 7f at Chester and a heavy defeat at York; seems too up and down for comfort but her best form brings her right into this. |

Getting on for four years since he last contested a Class 4 handicap; in better form than his figures suggest, having nowhere to go at a crucial stage at Windsor two weeks ago, and he is one to take seriously. |

C&D win off a 3lb higher mark last July; none too consistent on AW over the winter but it wouldn't be a huge surprise to see him bounce back to form returned to turf. |

Looked extremely promising on AW early in his career; he was returning from a year off when down the field in a warm sprint at Newcastle and he fared better when fourth of nine at Dundalk 11 weeks ago; could be a more potent threat here. |

30th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Ex-Irish 7yo who had a much higher mark this time last year; well backed all day and on course when winning over C&D 12 days ago, and there's every chance he can defy a 3lb rise under Ashley Lewis, who has plenty of experience for his 3lb claim in this company. |

Useful in Ireland in his younger days but has come 22lb down the weights in the space of a year for this yard; capable of popping up at this lower level but others have stronger claims. |

On a losing run and he has yet to win over this trip; sent off favourite for the corresponding race 12 months ago but faded into tenth; 6lb lower this time around and he has finished second in two of his last four starts; vulnerable to stronger stayers. |

9st 7lb |
Had a solid 2025, winning three times (5f/6f), but hasn't finished in the first eight this year; dropping in the weights but needs to turn a corner; perhaps a change of headgear will help. |

13th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Three handicap wins during last season's 3yo campaign (6f/5f, including on good/good to firm) and the return of cheekpieces may be a plus; however, he's been unplaced on both runs this year; has to raise his game. |

C&D winner who ended his 2025 campaign with a success and creditable effort over 5f at Newcastle (AW); was as good as ever in those two runs but he was well below form on his reappearance at Pontefract (5f, good to soft) 18 days ago; may have needed that run but he needs more progress to defy this mark. |

Unexposed at 6f; this mark is in range judged on his two placed efforts this winter; failed to fire on Good Friday but he received a kick before the start which won't have helped; no surprise to see him bounce back. |

3rd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

27th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 2 |
