29th May 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Often leads but can be slowly away; took a steep rise in the weights for two 5f wins in early spring but she absorbed it and added another win, from the fast-finishing Ancient State, on Lingfield AW in April; another solid effort back on turf there 11 days ago; strong showing likely back at 5f on AW. |

3rd 4 (9) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Front-runner who's had plenty of moments at the stalls; got it right when registering her third AW win of the year last time, but returns to turf on a career-high mark upped 4lb and the extra furlong is a concern. |
4/1 |

1st 2 (3) |
28th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Two 5f wins this year, making all at Wolverhampton on the second occasion off a 9lb lower mark; her ability to overcome this mark isn't in question but the start continues to be an issue and others look safer. |

24th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Conditions to suit and he ran well in defeat at Chelmsford (5f) in February/March; didn't run badly in a stronger C&D handicap last week and he can feature prominently back into 0-55 company. |
6/1 |
|
7th 10 (8) |
20th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
8st 4lb |
Finished a solid second at Chelmsford (5f Class 6) on his last two starts and his turn looks near; back up in grade but receives weight all round and remains favourably treated on plenty of form; not dismissed. |

5th 9 (9) |
19th May 2026 Good 0m 4f 217y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Has six wins to his name but the last one came in October 2024; second on his return to turf at Windsor (5f, good) and should run well. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 3 (8) |
7th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Two of his three turf wins have come over C&D; solid return to action at Chelmsford in February but he took a backward step at Southwell 12 days ago; William Carson replaces a 7lb claimer; not discounted. |
7/1 |
|
6th 3 (4) |
25th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Consistent 7yo who kept on from the rear for third under James Glennon at Chelmsford (5f) in February, after a layoff; has never run here before but has form on Tapeta at Wolverhampton; can make his presence felt. |

7th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
C&D win last June off a 2lb higher mark; has run some good races on AW this year, most recently finishing a close third of 11 at Kempton four weeks ago (6f); solid contender. |
3/1 |
|
3rd 8 (1) |
8th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
2lb lower than when gaining her only success at Windsor (5f, good to firm) last June and has the inside stall, but she does seem best at the minimum trip. |
14/1 |
|
5th 5 (2) |
5th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Fair second over C&D in January but she was unable to build on it at Chelmsford 12 days ago; up in class today and others are preferred. |

21st May 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Three wins in the winter, including over C&D, and he has continued to run well off his revised mark; drawn wide on turf last time and usually gives his running round here, so holds each-way claims. |
12/1 |
|
6th 3 (1) |
9th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 4f 217y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Nine wins on the AW but just 1-28 on turf; fit from a productive winter campaign but he's drawn on the outside and others are more appealing. |

21st May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Three 5f wins on turf include his last start on grass in good-ground Haydock handicap (first-time blinkers; has won on heavy) in October; didn't quite match that in seven AW starts subsequently but now 2lb below that winning mark; placed just once from five starts at 6f and no headgear today, however. |
10/1 |
|
6th 6 (6) |
21st Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Triple turf winner but he's 0-7 on AW and has finished down the field at Wolverhampton (5f) and Lingfield (6f) in last two runs; now back on last winning mark but he needs new headgear to make a difference. |
10/1 |
|
11th 5 (5) |
10th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
All three wins over 5f on turf but recent AW form, despite being a beaten favourite on last three starts, puts him in the picture; however, he rarely tackles 6f and when he has, his form has been inconclusive. |

21st Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Well handicapped on old form but he's not won since February 2024 and has been out of sorts in his last three runs; has something to prove after another break and others are preferred. |
16/1 |
|
2 (1) |
16th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
C&D winner early last year who was having his second start for this yard when second of ten back here a fortnight ago; down another 1lb and a player if stepping forward again. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 2 (1) |
2nd Sep 2025 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Two wins for John Butler early last year including an emphatic success over C&D, but has failed to beat a rival in his last two starts including on stable debut after 493 days off at Windsor (5f, good to firm; first-time visor) last month; best watched. |

27th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Prolific 5f winner, including over C&D, most recently at Chelmsford in October off 2lb lower; however, he was disappointing back at Chelmsford in February and has a bit to prove this time. |
5/1 |
|
8th 5 (3) |
21st Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Recorded his 11th AW win when narrowly beating Shalaa Asker over C&D in October; been absent since then but he's only 2lb higher than for that last win and he has won after a break in the past; dangerous on return. |
4/1 |
