30th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 135y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Won two AW nurseries in November (1m/7f) and began this campaign with two respectable runs in competitive 1m turf handicaps; the most exposed runner in the line-up but sure to appreciate this ease in grade. |

8th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Won two AW nurseries in November (1m/7f) and was very respectable seventh in good Newmarket handicap (1m, good) contested by a few of these last month but might be vulnerable to less-exposed rivals again. |

Not disgraced at Southwell (1m) when bidding for an AW hat-trick, taking his form figures since handicapping to 2112; ran well in last turf attempt but is now 17lb higher in a stronger grade. |

Yet to be placed from five starts but was only beaten 4l on her return to action at Kempton (1m4f, AW) last month; has been dropped 3lb and should be competitive. |

Beaten a long way when 20-1 for handicap debut here (1m) in November; however, she showed promise at Wolverhampton (8.6f, Tapeta) previously and the dam's side of her pedigree hints she may relish this longer trip. |

He has improved for the addition of cheekpieces but not sure there is much mileage in his mark and that isn't the case with a few of his rivals. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 1 (1) |
5th May 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
He had looked exposed prior to headgear going on in December but it sparked improvement, winning over 8.6f in December and following up over C&D in March; came up short in his hat-trick bid at Chelmsford (1m2f) 16 days ago but still ran well; respected. |

2nd 1 (3) |
26th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |

Had looked exposed before winning at Wolverhampton (8.6f) in late December; followed up when narrowly denying Anerin's Sword back at Wolverhampton (9.4f) 16 days ago, making it 2-2 in cheekpieces; should give it a good go in his hat-trick bid. |

Nine-race maiden who has frame possibilities provided the pick of her AW form is transferred back to turf on seasonal debut. |

25th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

Off the mark at the sixth attempt when readily seeing off Zipwire over C&D in December; that rival has improved since but these weights offer him a good chance of confirming the placings; non-runner 3.33 Windsor Monday. |

10st 0lb |
Dominant display when making all in a 1m handicap at Chelmsford ten days ago but turned over off this mark at Lingfield on Saturday; dropping in trip shouldn't hurt and he's more appealing than many. |
9/4 |
|
4th 2 (5) |
14th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
No impact in his first handicap but he proved a different proposition at Chelmsford on Sunday (1m), making the running and surging clear in the final furlong; looks well in under a penalty and Jack Dace's claim helps offset it; leading contender. |
2/1 |

Well held in all five starts, latest when eighth of 13 on handicap debut at Kempton (1m, Polytrack; 25-1) in November; still early days but she needs a transformation after a break. |

0-8 but placed in both starts since being gelded, the most recent coming at Kempton (7f, AW; first-time cheekpieces) 19 days ago behind a rapid improver who has won again since; headgear is retained but he's been well beaten in his two starts on turf. |

30th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

Gelded/off four months before posting a good third of seven in C&D handicap on his return last month; took a strong hold there so could build on it with cheekpieces now added. |

3rd 5 (4) |
30th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

Mixed form in winless, six-race 2yo campaign but he ran well when third at Southwell (7f, Tapeta) in November two starts ago; gelded since latest start and not ruled out on this return to action. |

9st 6lb |
Showed improvement when switched to handicaps in the autumn, finishing runner up at Bath (1m, soft) before going down by a head over this C&D; up 4lb on this return from six months off, but a few winners have come out of that race; respected. |

Hasn't shown much at all (6f-1m) but could raise his profile now handicapping off a modest mark; betting can be instructive. |

Low-key debut here (7f) last month but she took a good step forward when third of 13, albeit 7l behind the winner, at Brighton 18 days ago (1m, good to soft); needs more to win here but that's not out of the question. |

Has had plenty of chances but still a maiden (0-12); third to Karakula Dancer at Kempton (1m; beaten over 1l) on penultimate start before a lacklustre effort at Lingfield (1m2f; last of seven) latest; back in trip but others make more appeal. |

Consistent performer but he has had his limitations exposed at up to 8.6f; latest Kempton third came off this mark and any improvement for the new, longer trip will see him bang there. |

Verdict
This is wide open but progressive SUPERSTORM caught the eye when staying on into third at Southwell last time and gets the vote with this step up in trip also a likely plus. Leicester runner-up Raging Raj could emerge as the chief threat, although Moon Is Up, Suggy and Sunshine And Roses can all have a say too.[Peter Entwistle]
