7th 4 (6) |
1st Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Three most recent wins have come over C&D, the latest in March; has remained in form, though she bled from the nose when third at Southwell (7f) in April; if showing no ill effects she shouldn't be too far away. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 2 (8) |
28th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Dual 7f winner at Wolverhampton this year, latterly when holding on well in first-time cheekpieces last month; probably bettered that form when second from wide stall there 18 days; respected in current mood. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 11 (12) |
10th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Five-time AW winner who has form figures of 25131 over C&D since January; her last success was in a bunch finish but she responded well to cheekpieces and is only 2lb higher here; respected. |

8th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Took him a long time to get off the mark, but has utilised forcing tactics to good effect over C&D this year (1241); 5lb higher than for his latest success, though, and he doesn't have a great draw. |
4/1 |
|
1st 4 (5) |
21st Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Came good at the 26th attempt over C&D in February when making all; has ran well twice since over C&D when in the money and a danger to all if he can grab an early lead in returning cheekpieces. |
9/4 |
|
4th 6 (9) |
23rd Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Disappointing at Southwell (6f) last time but he went close over C&D on his penultimate run and that was after an emphatic front-running success at this track; drawn out wide on this step back up in trip but has possibilities if he can bounce back. |

23rd Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won on handicap debut at Carlisle (7f, good to firm) last August; been up and down since but she bounced back with a close third over C&D two weeks ago; did clear best of the hold-up performers in that race and she's a big player if she can back that up. |
3/1 |
|
3rd 8 (9) |
9th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Won a Carlisle maiden handicap (7f, good to firm) last August; not beaten far at Newcastle (1m, Tapeta) last month, but hasn't made the frame in three AW starts; others preferred. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 5 (6) |
13th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Form over 7f since handicapping features a win at Carlisle and creditable fourth at Redcar, both times shaping as if she'll be as effective back up in trip; could go well. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Slightly disappointing when well-held fourth on this month's turf return at Bath (1m), but was in good form on AW beforehand (7f-8.6f) and is well suited by this C&D; no surprise if he features. |
7/1 |
|
4th 7 (5) |
4th May 2026 Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
10st 9lb |
On a fair mark and the trip, track and ground should all be fine; arrives on the back of some fair AW runs; each-way claims again. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 10 (7) |
27th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
10st 10lb |
Has run with credit since winning at Chepstow (7f, good to firm) last July but is a victim of his own consistency and probably needs to drop a couple of pounds before finding another opening. |

19th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 135y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
0-21 (Flat/hurdles) but went close over 1m after missing the break at Kempton in March; didn't get home having failed to settle over 1m2f at Bath (firm) 20 days ago but should be happier over this shorter trip; tongue-tie returns and she won't mind any rain (runner-up in both starts on ground slower than good to soft) |
9/1 |
|
4th 5 (1) |
29th Apr 2026 Firm 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
0-20 (Flat/hurdles) but she caught the eye after a slow start at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) and was narrowly beaten after completely missing the break at Kempton (1m, AW) 35 days ago; strong claims over this longer trip if exiting the stalls on terms. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 4 (3) |
25th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
19-race maiden but she's on a reduced mark and was beaten less than 2l when fifth at Wolverhampton (7f) last month; that was an eye-catching effort after a slow start and she's an interesting contender back up in trip. |

26th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
20-1 for her stable debut here two weeks ago but she kept on well to see off nine rivals (1m, firm); still has plenty of handicapping scope and she could be the answer. |
9/4 |
|
1st 7 (2) |
12th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Debut for a seventh different yard having been beaten at short prices three times for James Owen; might be better over shorter. |

6 (13) |
5th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

17th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Still a maiden and lacks consistency to boot; chance of belatedly opening her account largely depends on how well she responds to first-time hood. |
20/1 |
|
7th 10 (9) |
23rd Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
20-race maiden who was a well-held fourth on her C&D reappearance 17 days ago; should be sharper this time but she's hard to predict and others are more convincing; 1lb out of the weights. |
16/1 |
|
4th 5 (2) |
6th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

Ran with credit a few times on turf last year, but is 0-19 and hasn't been seen in over six months; probably best watched. |

All five wins have came at Chelmsford's Polytrack; on a mounting losing run but didn't fare too badly when fourth of 11 at Southwell (7f) ten days ago. |
3/1 |

4th 6 (10) |
11th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

It's now 18 starts since his last victory and he came in only ninth of 12 in 6f Kempton handicap last month; others are preferred. |

9th 2 (12) |
4th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Five AW wins, all at Chelmsford (7f-1m, Polytrack); on a 17-race losing run and needs to be much better than on his last three starts. |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

Made the frame several times for her previous yard including on the AW, but modest so far in five starts for this yard and now 0-23; hard to fancy, even in this company. |
33/1 |
|
6th 8 (9) |
21st May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Yard, who also run Lil Wade, ended a losing run early in the week; this longstanding maiden, who hasn't achieved much in four runs since leaving Ed Dunlop, isn't obviously fancied. |
33/1 |
|
10th 7 (10) |
24th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
21-race maiden; two low-key runs for current stable sandwich a fair sixth here in February (7f); others bring stronger claims. |
25/1 |
