22nd Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Six-time Flat winner including five on AW (1m-1m2f) since December; unexposed over hurdles and was fair fourth of 13 back in this sphere at Hereford (2m, good; 12-1) last week; should have more to offer as a jumper but this looks a tough task against Un Sens A La Vie. |

4th 7 |
16th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 53y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Had one run over hurdles, finishing tailed off in a maiden in late 2024; multiple Flat winner since December and wasn't beaten far at Pontefract last week (1m; stays 1m4f); should run well if jumping stands the test. |

Successful five times (1m-1m2f) on AW since December and ran well at Southwell (1m3f) last week; likely player, provided the form is transferred back to turf; 1-14 in this sphere. |

1st Jun 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Strike-rate of 2-22 on the AW but both wins have been this year, the latest off 3lb lower over C&D in February when a well-backed favourite; has been off since so may be better for the run. |

17th Feb 2026 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |

Easy win at Southwell (1m; well backed) last month and she has run well in defeat since; stamina has to be taken on trust. |
5/2 |

2nd 4 (11) |
11th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |

Below-par favourite and unable to take advantage of good opportunity over C&D last time when ahead of the assessor; consistent otherwise for current yard but her new mark has kicked in. |

26th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Course winner (1m2f, good to soft) last September and he has made good progress since, adding two AW successes (9.4f/7f) to his tally; close third over C&D last month (good ground) but not in the same form at Kempton three weeks ago; can't ignore if as effective on today's faster ground. |

4th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Most consistent since switched to the AW in October (1332321) and ran well back on turf when beaten a length into third of 11 at Bath (1m, good) last month; gets on well with Laura Coughlan; respected. |
7/2 |

3rd 11 (10) |
5th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Most consistent since switched to the AW in October (1332321; most under Laura Coughlan) with the wins at Wolverhampton over 9.4f and 7f; creeping up the weights and although he had a 1m2f turf win last September, there is something for him to prove in this discipline. |

27th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |

All seven wins have been here, including three over C&D; in the money twice here since his last win and holds place claims at least. |
8/1 |

10th 2 (11) |
5th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Frequent Wolverhampton winner who's 0-12 on turf, including in his Irish days (has 4lb lower mark than on the AW); very consistent, though, and should get the good pace he wants, so every chance he gets involved again. |
7/1 |

13th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

8.6f win here last month and turned in another solid effort back here on Monday; wouldn't want a tactical affair back at 7f but still more appealing than many. |

23rd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Gained his second C&D success when winning off a 2lb higher mark in February but he's been down the field in four starts since, including when missing the break at Lingfield 27 days ago; return to form is needed. |
8/1 |
|
10th 4 (7) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Well short of his best on his last three starts but he won off this mark at Southwell in early February (7f); capable on a good day but this isn't sure to be run to suit. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Won off reduced mark at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) in March and has remained in good form since; only faded out of contention in closing stages when fifth over C&D (good to soft; behind Too Much Trevor and Connie's Rose) last week and ought to be better suited by today's faster ground; one to consider. |
9/2 |

5th 11 (4) |
21st May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 16y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
Four-time C&D winner, including twice in the month of May; got his head back in front at Wolverhampton (7f) in March; respectable return to turf when third of 11 at Bath (1m good) 17 days ago; can be expected to go well back at Chepstow. |

3rd 3 (3) |
4th May 2026 Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Back to winning ways in a 7f handicap at Wolverhampton in March; not so good back at Wolverhampton last month but 1m on fast ground is no problem and he is still on a fair mark. |

Eight-race maiden who has finished down the field in his five handicaps (6f-1m2f); now 10lb lower than opening mark but he needs to raise his game after 104 days off. |

17th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Dual winner in Germany; has hurtled down the ratings in Britain for good reason but having first run for Mark Loughnane when showing more here 18 days ago (8.6f; 5-1); he faded late on after being up there; could be on the verge of turning a corner. |

9th 4 (1) |
30th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Won over 1m and 1m1f in Germany, on turf and sand, but it's been a right old slog in Britain; at least he's dropped 22lb since last May and any market move would be interesting on yard debut (left Max Young); tongue-tie refitted. |
11/2 |

8th 8 (3) |
16th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Turf/sand winner (1m/1m1f) on the Flat in Germany but he's struggled for current yard and was tailed off at Southwell (1m) when last seen in July; opposable on return. |
