30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
C&D winner twice in February, before only just failing to catch the winner back here in hat-trick bid; work to do with Jimmy Speaking from Doncaster (fifth), with recent Thirsk effort - last of 12 - hardly a ringing endorsement. |
5/1 |

12th 8 (1) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Arrives in good form, winning twice at Southwell in February and finding only another thriving rival too strong in his hat-trick bid last month; only fifth of 16 back on turf at Doncaster three weeks ago (behind It'sneverjustone); perhaps too high in the weights for now. |

May remain competitive provided his recent Southwell AW form is transferred back to turf; however, his record in this sphere, which includes a seller win, is less convincing; presents a dilemma. |

15th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Best form on AW and she's 0-7 on turf; exposed filly but she landed her fourth AW handicap when scoring at Southwell (1m) in March and was back in that career-best form when second over that C&D a fortnight ago; chance if she can transfer those efforts to grass. |

Three wins this year (two over C&D) and bounced back from disappointing Newcastle run with close sixth of eight over C&D this month, when the slow pace was against her; possible player. |

28th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Wins have been over 6f on turf and 7f on the AW (Newcastle); has been running well for a while and latest effort back at Newcastle was better than it looks. |

7th 10 (10) |
20th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Record of 2-20 but his last win was over C&D last month and he was only beaten 2l behind Anthropologist here last time; remains feasibly treated on his best form and he has possibilities. |
9/1 |

4th 6 (1) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Promising third when back up to 7f at Southwell last month then won over this C&D, beating Concert Boy (due to run in the 5:00) by a short head; unexposed at the trip and respected up just 2lb. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Four wins on the AW in Class 6 company since December (6f-8.5f); respectable efforts on his last two outings but he possibly didn't quite get home over this trip at Ripon last month; each-way contender. |
11/1 |

4th 5 (8) |
22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Four wins (6f to 8.6f) on AW since December; perhaps stretched by 1m2f when only fourth at Ripon a fortnight ago; returning to a mile should help but a career best is needed to defy this mark. |
10/1 |
|
4th 6 (10) |
8th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Rarely runs a bad race and he's won two of his last three starts, including an emphatic win at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW) 11 days ago; has a penalty back on turf but he ran right up to his best last time and this new trip should be within range; respected. |

Conditions to suit and he is back to the same mark off which he beat Captain Parma here in October; not at his best at Southwell last week but he is the type to bounce back quickly. |

20th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Won a 7f handicap at Southwell on his second run back with Dean Ivory; unable to back it up in a Class 5 a fortnight later; fully effective over C&D but others appear to hold stronger claims. |
12/1 |
|
6th 5 (8) |
20th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Beat only one rival home at Chelmsford (1m, AW) on his first start since returning to this yard following a 161-day break, but he stepped forward from that when winning over this C&D 15 days ago; up in grade following a 3lb rise. |
7/1 |

1st 3 (11) |
5th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Back with former yard after five months off but beat just one in 1m Chelmsford handicap three weeks ago; a fair 7f winner at his best, so he can't be totally dismissed with that run under his belt. |

Course scorer but she came in a never-dangerous seventh of 12 on her yard debut in 7f handicap here 18 days ago; more is required with cheekpieces removed today. |
20/1 |
|
7th 4 (4) |
20th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Two wins when trained by Karl Burke (1m/1m4f); posted her best effort for Darryll Holland when fourth of seven (beaten 1l) here over 1m3f last month but she was well beaten at Kempton (1m3f, AW) in first-time cheekpieces (retained) 16 days ago; drops down markedly in trip for her stable debut. |
18/1 |

10th 5 (8) |
4th Feb 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Dual Tapeta winner (1m/1m4f), who gave it a good shot when a close fourth at Southwell (1m3f) four weeks ago; usually races prominently and has possibilities if she can find something extra with cheekpieces added. |

1st Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
String of defeats at short prices this spring, remains a maiden and hasn't always looked the easiest; the return to Tapeta and step back up from 7f will help, though, and he holds claims under Tom Marquand. |
4/1 |
|
5th 10 (11) |
11th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
15-race maiden who didn't look an easy ride when 2l fourth of nine over C&D (good) last month and needs to prove he can get the job done; however, he often runs well and might not be far away. |
7/1 |

4th 6 (8) |
22nd Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Still seeking a first win after 14 attempts but he has been threatening to put that right on AW this year and he ran a solid race back on turf at Doncaster 24 days ago; a strongly run 7f should suit and he has a small race in him off this mark. |

12th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Both wins over 7f, the second here in March; good third to a subsequent winner at Newbury (1m, good) last time but not sure this step up in trip will suit as she can pull hard. |

3rd 8 (8) |
15th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |

2nd 8 (9) |
4th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |

On a good mark and suited by this C&D but out of form lately and has quite a bit to prove; non-runner 2.20 Ascot Friday. |
