10st 0lb |
Thriving in 2026 and he gamely made all when completing a hat-trick in 2m Goodwood handicap ten days ago; up another 2lb but this likeable dual C&D scorer is a big player once more. |

2nd May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Four AW wins since December and she completed a double in good style at Lingfield (2m) last month; 7lb higher back on turf but that was a clear personal best last time and she's unexposed in this sphere; respected. |

8th May 2026 Good 2m 2f 140y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Well beaten at Newmarket (good) last September on handicap debut but pretty consistent in his five AW races since, on last two occasions winning over 1m6f and second of 14 over 2m; peak AW form needs to be transferred. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 6 (8) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Unexposed 4yo who has proved consistent on the AW so far (232441); had only a nose to spare at Wolverhampton (1m6f, Tapeta) last month, but is just 2lb higher and may still have more to offer upped again in trip; respected. |
5/1 |
|
1st 2 (6) |
3rd Mar 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Has made the frame in all five starts on the AW, the latest when fourth of eight here (1m4f) last month (third has won since); hasn't always looked the easiest, but he is down another 2lb and this stiffer test may eke out a bit more improvement (dam won over this trip); leading player. |

9st 8lb |
Can set the pace; twice runner-up at Wolverhampton (1m6f/16.5f) during the winter and a good third of 14 in competitive event at Lingfield (2m, also AW; Tarbat Ness sixth) on Good Friday; turf no problem and he should give a good account. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 11 (14) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Often a front-runner; 1lb lower than when twice runner-up at Wolverhampton (1m6f/16.5f) during the winter and didn't enjoy much luck when behind a couple of these there last month, but the outside stall won't make things easy. |
9/1 |
|
6th 4 (2) |
3rd Mar 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 4 |

Front-runner who was well beaten over hurdles last time but had previously twice finished runner-up here (1m6f/16.5f); may be happier back in this sphere, but likely to face competition for the lead. |

27th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Won a novice here and her one handicap win was on Newcastle AW; moved up from 1m4f to 2m for warm race at Lingfield (AW) eight weeks ago and, although below best, did not appear beaten by the trip as she plugged on into fourth of 14 with first-time cheekpieces; may have more to offer as a stayer. |
13/2 |
|
4th 9 (2) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Lightly raced since her debut early last year, winning at Kempton (1m, Polytrack) and Newcastle (1m2f, Tapeta); steps up another half-mile in trip, but she shapes like a stayer and is worthy of respect, especially if strong in the market; cheekpieces are given a go. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 7 (3) |
21st Mar 2026 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Made it 2-4 when landing a handicap here (1m2f) in January but she flopped when favourite at Kempton (1m3f) last month; bit to prove after that but a wide trip didn't help and she probably still has untapped potential; dangerous if she can bounce back. |

9st 6lb |
6-19 on AW but 0-10 on turf; none of her turf form matches this mark and her second here last September was on heavy going; blinkered latest; while moving back up from 1m4f should help, others have more pressing claims. |
8/1 |

9th 11 (8) |
8th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
6-19 on AW but 0-9 on turf; came second here (1m6f, heavy) in September but returns to turf on a 5lb higher mark, and still has something to prove on this surface; sports first-time blinkers. |
16/1 |

5th 7 (7) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Mainly consistent on the AW and was only around half a length behind Shrimp Shady when fourth of eight at Wolverhampton (1m6f, Tapeta) last month, but she finished last of 14 in this race last year which does leave her with a bit to prove. |

8th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 209y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
All five wins at 2m, including three on soft going, latterly at Catterick in October; went back-to-back at Newcastle (AW) at the start of the year and fourth at Ripon (2m, good) on latest outing was close to his best; same mark, so needs to find extra, but he can't be ruled out. |
16/1 |

4th 2 (6) |
25th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Out-and-out stayer who won twice at Newcastle (2m, Tapeta) at the start of the year but the handicapper has been winning the argument since; it remains to be seen whether a return to turf makes any difference in that regard. |

6th 13 (1) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |

Out-and-out stayer who won twice at Newcastle (2m, Tapeta) at the start of the year, but he looks high enough in the weights now and makes a belated Polytrack debut. |

31st May 2026 Good 2m 0f 13y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Usually races prominently; won four of his six starts for new yard this year, including when returned to turf for eight-runner race at Musselburgh (2m, good) in April; has excuses for the two defeats, on latest occasion fifth of 17 in the 2m2f Chester Plate despite the work he had to do to front-run from wide draw; one to note. |
7/1 |

5th 16 (14) |
8th May 2026 Good 2m 2f 140y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Seen mostly over jumps in his Irish days; getting hampered at the start prevented his usual prominent ride on penultimate outing but he's otherwise swept all before him for new yard this year, including when returned to turf for eight-runner race at Musselburgh (2m, good) 12 days ago; has 3lb penalty (the same as he's due to go up anyway) but wide draw is the chief worry. |
11/1 |

9st 2lb |
Seen mostly over jumps in his Irish days; 3-3 on AW (1m6f/2m) last month upon joining this stable, before a lesser show three weeks ago when getting hampered at the start prevented his usual tactics; not ruled out on return to turf. |

10/1 |
|
3rd 8 (8) |
17th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 3 |
8st 5lb |
Has done best on AW, including three wins at Wolverhampton (1m6f/2m) in the last six months; well held at Lingfield two weeks ago but has a modest record there; has won twice on turf, latterly on good ground at Bath (1m6f) last June but none of his turf form matches today's mark. |
25/1 |
|
8th 4 (12) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Something of a Wolverhampton specialist (3-5) though he has won on Polytrack at Kempton; the drop to 1m4f didn't help last time so the return to a longer distance should help, but his high draw may not be ideal even over this trip. |

22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 27y Class 4 |

There was some restoration of his Flat fortunes when third of five at Southwell (1m6f, AW; stays 2m) on latest start but he's without a win on the Flat since the end of 2023; has another career-low mark but it's hard to know when he will take advantage. |

9st 4lb |
Won twice last year, notably a 1m6f handicap at Ascot in July off a 1lb lower mark; well held in five starts since December but this trip more suitable than those he has been tackling and the return of the tongue tie could help; betting should be revealing. |
12/1 |

10th 5 (4) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |

Two wins last year, but hasn't beaten many in four starts over 1m-2m on the AW since returning from over five months off in December; slipping back down the weights, but probably best watched for now; stable also runs Vaguely Royal. |

7th 9 (8) |
28th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 2 |

Effective here; finished strongly when upped to 1m6f for his win at Ascot last July; absent 167 days afterwards and beat a total of one rival in his three races this winter but they were over just 1m-1m2f, when an outsider, and he should be vastly more interesting on this first crack at 2m. |

All eight wins have been on AW but he's lost his way with heavy defeats at Newcastle (12.4f, Tapeta) and Lingfield (2m, Polytrack) in last two runs; still lightly raced on turf but he needs a major revival back in this sphere. |

Reliable 6yo, who won three times (1m4f/1m5f) during a busy spell this winter and he ran another solid race when runner-up at Wolverhampton (1m6f) last Friday; should go well again on this drop back in trip and he's respected with Hollie Doyle booked. |
