16th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
His only turf wins came in a Royal Ascot handicap and Newbury Group 3, but they were in 2023 and he needs the cards to drop right for his late bids; scored on AW in January but subsequent form, including when 40-1 in the Victoria Cup last Saturday, isn't good enough. |

9th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |

Very useful but rather needs the cards to drop right and gained his only turf wins, namely in Royal Ascot handicap and Newbury Group 3, in 2023; peak AW form this year when scoring in January; finished seventh (off 4lb higher) in this contest 12 months ago. |

25th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Five-time AW scorer who is only 1-19 on turf; admittedly faced a stiffer task in Class 2 event returned to grass last time and this looks more suitable; mark is workable. |
14/1 |
|
11th 14 (12) |
16th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
1-18 on turf but his only two appearances at this track saw him take third in the Spring Cup and this race in 2024; operating a bit below that level since last August, which, despite some AW success, has to put him down the pecking order in such a hot race. |

1st May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Only 2-16 but his third trainer has him in career-best form and didn't get the breaks when a closing fourth at Newcastle last time (1m); hold-up performer who needs a good pace to chase and if getting one he'll be dangerous. |
4/1 |
|
4th 12 (12) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Coaxed back to form by his new trainer, twice placed over C&D before winning at Southwell in February; good second behind First Principle two weeks ago; another 2lb rise tempers enthusiasm slightly. |
16/1 |
|
2nd 5 (5) |
20th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Resurgent for new yard this year, looking unlucky at Newcastle on penultimate start and handing a 2l beating to runner-up Zryan at Southwell (again 1m, Tapeta) on latest; back up another 4lb but the best of his old form was a little better still and he has to be on the shortlist. |

2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Three fine efforts on AW to start the year but his run of good form came to a halt when well behind Blue Rc at Newcastle over Easter; acts on turf but has a much better strike-rate on AW; drawn widest. |
20/1 |
|
12th 6 (1) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Finished a good third in this race 12 months ago when rated 2lb lower; arrives in good form, having beaten Popmaster at Lingfield (1m) before a good third at Kempton (7f) 16 days ago; chance if stall 1 proves no hindrance. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 4 (3) |
18th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Beat very good yardstick in Popmaster for fourth AW win from just eight tries at Lingfield 19 days ago (1m; ridden by Jack Callan for the first time); up just 3lb, and no issue with this shorter trip, but he's never been to Kempton and trainer is just 1-14 here last five years. |

3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
Won a Class 4 over C&D in September; unplaced in three runs this year, the latest here last week, and this looks a tough race in which to try to rebound. |
40/1 |
|
9th 1 (11) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
All three wins over C&D, the latest in September; failed to build on his quite promising reappearance when well beaten at Southwell five weeks ago but capable of staging a revival back at Newcastle. |
10/1 |
|
10th 12 (11) |
20th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Unraced here but goes particularly well at Newcastle (all three wins there at 1m) where he shaped nicely after a break in a Class 2 last month; this mark isn't beyond him. |

1st May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
10st 0lb |
All four wins have been on the AW at Newcastle, including a hat-trick early last year; back on his last winning mark and he did chase a strong pace last time (in a race he won 12 months earlier) before folding late on; lightly raced on turf. |
8/1 |
|
10th 7 (6) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
He was completing a C&D hat-trick when winning the corresponding race 12 months ago off a 3lb lower mark; not at his best in two runs this year (following a gelding operation) and he needs to raise his game. |
12/1 |
|
6th 4 (1) |
7th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 1 |

Three 1m wins at Newcastle last year, including the 1m handicap on Good Friday; disappointing finishing effort when sixth behind Witch Hunter back there three weeks ago; needs to raise his game upped in class. |

7th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Won twice over this trip at Kempton (Polytrack) and Newcastle (Tapeta) in November; fair third of seven behind two of these at Chelmsford (1m, Polytrack) last month; each-way claims down another 1lb if taking to this track at the first time of asking. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 5 (7) |
12th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Game effort to win at Kempton in November (1m) and followed up off the same mark at Newcastle eight days later; his form has dipped on his last two starts but he forms part of a strong hand for Ian Williams. |
8/1 |
|
9th 9 (2) |
30th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Won over 1m at Kempton and Newcastle in November; good third back at Kempton last month and not disgraced in Newcastle Class 2 with cheekpieces added (left off now) a fortnight ago; handily drawn for a prominent racer and needs considering back in a lower grade. |

A well-treated dual Tapeta winner at Newcastle who ran in a Class 2 there last time but that was his third below-par performance in succession; has to bounce back. |
12/1 |

8th 5 (4) |
16th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 2 |

Won a Racing League handicap over C&D last summer off 2lb lower; not so good twice since and a personal best is required to maintain his unbeaten record over C&D. |

5th 6 (9) |
3rd Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |

Encouraging third at Sandown (1m, good) in July on second handicap start then beat 13 rivals to win in the Racing League at Newcastle (1m, AW), where he reverted to hold-up tactics; he's a leading candidate today. |

28th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Course winner who was runner-up in the 2024 Cambridgeshire but has been lightly raced since; his keeping-on fifth of 12 over 1m1f at Musselburgh in April suggests most of that ability remains but he failed to build on it tackling 1m2f for the first time when fourth at Redcar (good to firm) four weeks ago; first-time cheekpieces worn at Redcar are retained. |
13/2 |
|
4th 1 (8) |
30th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Runner-up in the Cambridgeshire (1m1f) in September 2024 and he's raced just four times since; denied clear run when keeping on for fifth of 12 at Musselburgh (1m1f, good) recently and the return to 1m2f is worth a go; could have a part to play in first-time cheekpieces. |
13/2 |
|
5th 4 (6) |
12th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Three wins at about 1m and finished runner-up in the 2024 Cambridgeshire, but lightly raced since; not beaten far into fourth of ten at Kempton (1m, AW) last time, but still 5lb above his last winning mark and doesn't look solid back from another short break; stable also runs Noche Clasica. |
