9th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Built on the encouragement of his comeback effort when winning in first-time cheekpieces at Southwell (1m, AW) 30 days ago, taking his record on the AW to 2-4; claims following a 3lb rise. |

1st 3 (4) |
10th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Made a winning debut at Newcastle (7f) last March and he got back on track after seven months off when sixth of 11 over C&D last month; not ruled out off a 2lb lower mark with cheekpieces added and few miles still on the clock. |

4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Three turf wins for Richard Hannon last summer and latest was off 1lb higher at Ripon (1m4f, good to firm); mixed results for new yard since March but she's had some close calls and was a creditable second at Doncaster (1m2f; tongue-tie added) last week; on same mark here and has leading claims if she can back that up |
11/4 |
|
2nd 5 (3) |
26th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Has gone close on AW a couple of times for new yard but failed to beat a rival last time; 3-7 in turf handicaps and looks quite interesting back in this sphere, off 1lb below last winning mark; tongue-tie fitted. |

10th 4 (10) |

7f winner at Southwell for Marco Botti last summer off 5lb higher; patchy for this yard since, although 9.5f at Wolverhampton seemed to stretch his stamina last time and this test is more suitable. |

Popped up at Southwell (1m) off a 2lb higher mark in January; the odd good run since but he needs to bounce back from a lacklustre AW run last month. |
14/1 |

10th 8 (4) |
7th May 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Gained his fourth win at his track when coming from off the pace to win by a neck here in January; kept on into fifth behind Avatar Jet over C&D 12 days ago and has each-way claims if this is run to suit. |
16/1 |
|
5th 6 (6) |
25th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Four-time course winner, all in the winter months, latterly off this mark in January; usually misses the break and again hung left when behind Marry The Night over C&D last time; a stronger pace would help for last year's winning yard. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Better than ever this term; doubled his tally on turf with big-field amateur riders' win at Doncaster (good to soft) in March and he scored again at Thirsk (also 1m, good to firm) in May; back in form when fourth at Goodwood last month and Jack Callan gets on well with him; yard going well; player. |
5/1 |

4th 5 (2) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
He's 2-5 for this yard, the wins over 1m on good to soft and good to firm; a slow start was no help last time at Thirsk but he might be high in the weights now. |
5/1 |
|
8th 2 (1) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Much more racing on AW than turf but better than ever on grass for new yard, winning both 1m starts (good to soft and good to firm), the latest over C&D with something in hand; a further 7lb rise may not be beyond him. |

9st 6lb |
Five-time 7f winner here (well suited by a good test over that trip) who's currently 0-17 over C&D; patchy since a win here off 1lb lower in February and others have more pressing claims. |
16/1 |

18th 1 (22) |
29th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Still on a realistic mark and several good AW runs to his name already this year; 0-13 on turf and 0-31 at 1m+ so he will need to break new ground to come out on top today; Simon Walker booked but others might be seeing it out more strongly. |
10/1 |

5th 11 (1) |
21st Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Dual course winner (1m/7f) this year, following a layoff; managed only sixth when favourite here (1m) 11 days ago but has a big role to play from the inside stall if quickly back in the groove. |

4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Struggled since winning a Polytrack maiden for the Crisford team last August and has come more than a stone down the weights for his current yard this season; goes beyond an extended 1m for the first time and is hard to recommend. |

14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 213y Class 6 |

9th 5 (11) |
1st Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |

Wildly inconsistent for the Crisford yard and his current trainer; one of his better efforts back on turf last time but he's no certainty to build on it and his four previous efforts on Tapeta were ordinary. |

2nd 3 (7) |
21st Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |

Sole win from his 20 races was an AW maiden in January; has a form chance judged on peak efforts (turf and AW) but he was comfortably held on last three outings (gelded before latest) and does not look the percentage call. |
16/1 |

9th 9 (12) |
27th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Put his experience to good use at Chelmsford in January and nearly rallied to win at Lingfield the following month (both 1m); not as potent in three runs since and will turn up here having been gelded; stall 12 tricky given he likes to race prominently. |

27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 4f 98y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Was having just his third go on AW when taking a Southwell handicap (1m3f, Tapeta) last month and he backed it up with slightly unlucky second at Doncaster (1m4f, good to firm) three weeks ago; 1lb nudge looks no bother at all and he's near the top of the list. |
7/1 |

2nd 4 (1) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 197y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Took advantage of a reduced mark when battling well to score at 20-1 at Southwell (1m3f, AW; cheekpieces reapplied) two weeks ago; back up 4lb in the weights but he remains well treated on old form and his first win was on turf; shortlisted. |
5/1 |

1st 6 (4) |
21st May 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
Handicapper quick to ease off this spring and he turned in his best effort for this yard when fourth behind Sisterandbrother at Doncaster last weekend; inclined to over-race back in cheekpieces there and has to prove he can do it on the AW. |

Unlike him to miss the break as last time and had been running well from 1m1f to 1m4f; the concerns are that he does look high enough in the weights and this is tougher than usual. |

Returned to winning ways at Musselburgh (1m1f, good; from 4lb lower) in April and runner-up twice since, stamina seemingly overstretched behind the thriving Alpine Sierra at Musselburgh (12.5f) latest; enters calculations back over a more suitable 8.5f. |

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. |
