7th 3 (4) |
11th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Lightly raced since 2yo debut but she improved for the step up to 1m4f and the fitting of a hood when winning on Kempton AW last month and she had more to do off 4lb higher when second to an odds-on shot at Yarmouth (about 1m3f, good) 13 days ago; probably needs more for the win. |

Lightly raced for a 4yo; seemingly all the better for her comeback run, and the fitting of a hood, when finding the most to lead near the line at Kempton (1m4f, AW) 20 days ago; back up 4lb but in form and probably capable of better. |

20th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 6f 17y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Won two handicaps last July (1m4f, good and 1m6f, firm); he has finished second in two of his three runs this year, latterly beaten a short-head at Leicester 11 days ago (1m4f, good to firm); had just one run on slower than good and finished well beaten, so conditions may be a concern. |

3rd 7 (6) |
8th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
May have done too much early and might have failed for stamina when sixth of eight at Chelmsford (13.3f. Polytrack) 13 days ago (Take The Boat second); better judged on his previous form around here including wins over 1m3f/1m4f; respected for stable that also runs Maywedance. |

6th 1 (7) |
26th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 5f 66y Class 6 |

All wins at 1m3f-1m4f; hasn't fully convinced with stamina in his 1m5f/1m6f attempts, including latest start; may again get outstayed. |

In good form at Kempton prior to a lesser effort there (1m3f) last month; needs to bounce back and well beaten in one go on Tapeta; others have less to prove. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 148y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Four wins on AW Flat over 7f-1m4f at a modest level; interesting how she takes to this new discipline; may be one to fight out minor honours. |
10/1 |
|
9th 8 (9) |
11th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
She has been stepped up in trip by her current stable and it paid dividends with a 1m4f win at Wolverhampton in February; she has finished second in three of her five runs since, including upped to 1m6f at Salisbury eight days ago, and she should give it another good go back at 1m2f. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 2 |
3rd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 44y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Came good for current stable at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW) in February and has made the frame on three of her four AW starts since; could have untapped potential over staying trips but needs to prove herself on turf. |

25th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Has several pieces of C&D form, including a success in 2023 and respectable fourth in latest start; competitively handicapped, having gained last three wins off just 1lb lower; enters calculations. |
4/1 |
|
4th 5 (3) |
11th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
All five wins on good or quicker ground, including firm; C&D winner who finished close up behind one who was ahead of her mark in this race last year and she's likely to be primed for this; leading claims for in-form yard. |
5/1 |

20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
His last win was in September 2024 but he went close at Chelmsford (1m2f) in February and he ran respectably over C&D last time; usually comes from off the pace and could be dangerous if he gets the breaks. |
9/1 |
|
6th 12 (2) |
8th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 6 |
8st 8lb |
Has gone close a couple of times in recent outings, but has only managed to win one of his last 28 starts; likely to find one or two too good. |
8/1 |
|
4th 5 (5) |
25th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |

Triple C&D winner who came from off the pace to go close in a Chelmsford handicap (1m2f) last month; now drops back into a classified event and he's a big player back up in trip. |

20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Better known as a hurdler these days, but he made a successful return to the Flat when narrowly landing a classified event at Lingfield (1m4f, Polytrack) in March; never involved in a C&D handicap last time but that was against a pace bias and he has claims if things go more to plan this time. |
6/1 |
|
7th 11 (9) |
8th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Better known as a hurdler these days, but he made a successful return to the Flat when narrowly landing a 0-50 classified event at Lingfield (1m4f, Polytrack) a fortnight ago; this will be harder, but he remains unexposed on the AW. |
8/1 |
|
1st 3 (4) |
25th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
His sole win was over hurdles 14 months ago but he looked a bit unlucky when runner-up in that sphere at Huntingdon (2m) 24 days ago; now returns to the Flat but conditions should be fine and he needs a close look in the market. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 166y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Dual AW winner on the Flat who was 61l adrift when beating one home on his handicap hurdle debut at Kempton (2m) last month; just a fair effort on the Flat a fortnight ago; upped markedly in trip for his second go in this sphere. |
8/1 |
|
8th 10 (7) |
8th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Mainly seen over hurdles lately and is just 2-33 under rules, but one of his wins came over C&D and his last few efforts on the AW off similar marks would give him an each-way chance here. |
13/2 |
|
5th 2 |
23rd Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Goes handicapping for the first time in this sphere but probably doesn't have anything in hand, with opening hurdles mark roughly in keeping with his Flat ability; that doesn't necessarily mean he can't run well. |

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. |

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. |

Won over C&D in November but that is her sole win from 20 starts and she's been out of sort in four runs for current yard; continues to drop down the weights but she needs a major revival; cheekpieces back on. |

20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Seven of his eight wins have come at Kempton including over 1m3f in September; only 1lb higher than for that success but he's been disappointing since and was out the back on his C&D reappearance last month; down the list. |
7/1 |
|
11th 4 (3) |
8th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Veteran who has nothing to prove on this track having won seven times over 1m/1m3f here; can go well fresh so the four-month absence shouldn't be a problem, but the trip remains a moot point. |
5/1 |

5 (3) |
24th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Last three starts over C&D; went very close when second of 12 in June then built on his respectable return from a small break to beat 12 others nine days ago; 4lb penalty shouldn't stop him playing a part. |

8st 4lb |
3-41; 7lb lower than when making a successful reappearance at Chelmsford (1m2f, Polytrack) around this time last year and he has offered a little bit of encouragement in his last couple of outings; off 11 weeks, but could go well at a price. |

21st Jan 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

On a losing run but he hinted at a revival under a patient ride when fifth of 13 in C&D handicap last month; he must enter calculations on these terms. |
9/1 |
|
7th 10 (11) |
15th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Often runs well fresh, so the break looks in his favour, and two of his wins have come at big prices; capable of popping up off a career-low mark but he'll need to bounce back after a poor summer. |
