27th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Two wins from five starts since joining Hayley Burton, with both the wins over 1m4f on Lingfield Polytrack (dictated the pace on penultimate start); back to turf for a lesser show on Saturday; while not dismissed due to this new trip, it is a sizeable step in the dark. |

23rd May 2026 Good 1m 4f 5y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Two wins from four starts since joining Hayley Burton, both the victories coming over 1m4f on Lingfield's AW track; should prove just as effective back on turf and he is not fully exposed just yet. |
4/1 |

1st 5 (3) |

Narrowly made a successful stable/handicap debut on his reappearance over C&D in March; twice held over shorter trips since, but interesting back here from just 2lb higher than for his win. |

21st May 2026 Good 1m 4f 13y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Resumed winning ways at Newcastle (1m4f) in April and backed it up with a solid third of five in 1m6f Thirsk handicap 19 days ago; in the mix once more. |
5/2 |
|
3rd 1 (3) |
2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
4yo who has finished out of the first two only once in eight handicap starts, gaining compensation for a pair of near-misses this year when well on top over an extended 1m4f at Newcastle 12 days ago; just as effective at 1m6f and on turf; the one to beat. |

1st 2 (3) |
20th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 5 |

4yo who has form figures of 1221522 in handicaps and he's been beaten a short head and a nose in his two runs (1m4f/1m6f) this year; on same mark as last time and he should make another bold bid back in trip; major player. |

4th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
10-32 on the AW and as tough as old boots, going down by less than a length in his last three outings including when beaten a short head over C&D in March; likely to be bang there once again. |
13/2 |
|
2nd 6 (7) |
11th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
C&D record is currently three wins and two seconds from five starts; most of his career wins have come in the winter but he continues in good form and has strong claims. |
3/1 |
|
3rd 6 (8) |
25th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
All of his ten wins have been on AW and he had a near-miss over 1m3f at Kempton last Wednesday; on same mark here and he's a big player if he can repeat that form. |

Well backed when winning here on the AW over 1m4f in December but never featured when beating only one rival home 19 days ago; 0-9 on turf and others are preferred. |
12/1 |

7th 3 (5) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |

Well backed when winning over C&D in December off a 2lb lower mark (ridden by Myla Coppins); the odd solid effort since and he can't be ruled out. |
5/1 |

9th 3 (13) |
8th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Not the most consistent, but has won six times on the AW including five over 1m4f/1m5f at Lingfield; has run well here, but stall 13 isn't ideal even over this trip. |

11st 2lb |
C&D winner in November; got back on track in first-time cheekpieces when second of 13 in 1m2f Windsor handicap 18 days ago; can go well again back up in trip with the headgear retained. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 2 (5) |
11th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Left it late when winning a 1m4f handicap at Wolverhampton in November; three lesser runs have followed but he is now 2lb lower than for the win; drops in trip with headgear added. |
10/1 |
|
5th 4 (2) |
25th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Bumper winner who won a handicap at Wolverhampton (1m4f) in November but his form has nosedived in last two starts; now drops back to this trip but he has a patchy profile and others are more convincing. |

21st May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Placed in two of his last three starts (1m2f/1m3f, AW) for this yard and he won on good to soft at Goodwood (1m) last June for the Moores; tackles stiffer opposition this time but can't be ruled out. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 2 (2) |
11th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Inconsistent gelding who's with his third yard; better effort at Lingfield in February but gave himself no chance of seeing out 1m4f on his first crack at beyond 1m2f latest thanks to pulling hard; needs to settle early if he's to have a chance. |
8/1 |
|
6th 1 (4) |
25th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
On same mark as for his Goodwood win (1m) for Gary and Josh Moore last summer; made a low-key start for new yard last month but he returned to form with a creditable third here (1m2f) last time; was strong at the finish in that race and he's in the mix at this new trip. |

1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Has done well since switched to Flat turf for his last two starts with the visor added, winning at Beverley (1m4f, good to firm) in April before second of 12 in an apprentice handicap at Ascot (2m, good) last month (winner followed up at Chester on Saturday); up just another 1lb and high on the list. |
11/4 |
|
2nd 5 (3) |
8th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 209y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Beaten a nose, a head and a neck in three bumpers; earned his mark over 1m and predictably did better upped in trip when scoring at Kempton (1m3f, AW; first-time cheekpieces) in March; rebounded from a blip next time when going in again at Beverley (1m4f, good to firm; first-time visor) a fortnight ago; dam half-sister to St Leger winner Brian Boru and this new trip could unlock more again; key player. |
3/1 |

1st 2 (6) |
23rd Apr 2026 Good 1m 4f 23y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Has worn cheekpieces since switched to handicaps, winning at Kempton (1m3f) then below par at Lingfield, both on AW; may rebound and have more to offer, provided he responds well to the fitting of visor. |

3rd 4 (7) |
15th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Showed promise in novice/maiden company when trained by Paul Midgley; struggled on his yard/hurdling debut in December and it was the same story in a handicap at Lingfield (1m4f, AW) three weeks ago; down 3lb. |
20/1 |

8th 7 (6) |
25th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who struggled on his hurdling debut in December but he showed some promise on AW last autumn including when third in a Newcastle novice (1m2f); returns to the Flat after another break but he needs checking in market on handicap debut. |
