2nd May 2026 Good 1m 1f 197y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Progressive son of New Bay who returned with an impressive victory in 1m2f Nottingham handicap last month; hiked up 8lb but showed a good turn of foot there so big shout. |
100/30 |
|
1st 2 (7) |
8th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Won a maiden at Haydock (1m, good) last May but he's not really gone on from that in handicaps since; ended last season with two respectable thirds at this track (8.3f/1m2f) but he needs to find something extra after 161 days off. |

29th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 2f 50y Class 4 |

Won maiden at Haydock (good) in May and a good, plugging-on third here (good to soft; alongside Sea Poetry) three weeks ago; lesser displays over 1m2f (good) and 1m1f (soft) in between seem to dent his prospects, though. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Four wins in 2025 and he wasn't far away over 1m1f here in September; in reasonable form this year and this trip will suit better than the 1m4f he ran over at York last time out but it will be a good effort if he can win this off his current mark. |
12/1 |
|
15th 13 (4) |
13th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Had four wins last year (three 1m, one 1m2f) and has run with credit on all four starts this term, but his only attempt over this far was in 2024; needs a career best to get his head in front again. |

Four wins last year and has run with credit on his three starts this term, albeit he is 6lb higher than his last winning mark; should run well but needs a career-best to get his head in front. |

25th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 100y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Two wins over shorter as a 3yo; improved when second at Kempton on his seasonal return last month (1m) and when third at Nottingham 17 days ago he found himself poorly positioned; well worth another crack at this trip and he should make a bold bid. |
5/2 |
|
3rd 1 (5) |
8th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Turf (1m, good) and AW winner (7f) in 2025; ended last season with a placed effort at Lingfield and he reappeared with a good second at Kempton (1m, Polytrack) last month; looks interesting off unchanged mark and he has shaped as though this new trip should be within range. |

14th May 2026 Good 1m 6f 44y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
Four-time winner who last scored over 1m2f at Windsor (good to firm) off just 1lb lower in July; runner-up over C&D in October, however, and confirmed this trip holds no fears when second again at Nottingham (also good) 18 days ago; player. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 6 (2) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Had 1m2f wins last April (here), June and July; kept his form well, including when second in October on his only attempt at 1m6f; recent reappearance was another creditable show here and he has each-way claims. |
4/1 |
|
4th 8 (4) |
8th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Generally consistent gelding who won three times last season including on his reappearance over C&D (good; 3-1) last April; still looks on a workable mark and it wouldn't be a surprise if he made a bold bid after 166 days off. |

8th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
1m2f French winner; well handicapped on his best form for Kevin Philippart De Foy but he's struggled in last four starts including two runs for new yard this year; overall record is now 1-14 and he has something to prove. |
16/1 |
|
10th 1 (7) |
20th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
1m2f French winner; not far away on several outings for Kevin Philippart De Foy but ended his time with that yard on a low note and tailed off on reappearance for new stable last month; now tongue tied first time. |
40/1 |
|
6th 1 (3) |
24th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
1m2f French winner; runner-up off this mark at Kempton (1m4f, Class 3; 11-1) last July, before disappointing on final two starts for Kevin Philippart De Foy; changed hands in October for 21,000gns; merits a market check on first start for new trainer. |

4th Jun 2026 Good 1m 3f 209y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Effective on good and heavy; quiet comeback run and she can be inconsistent, but she's a dual winner on a fair mark and very capable at this level. |
3/1 |
|
6th 10 (8) |
8th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 4 |
8st 7lb |
Has patchy profile but she scored at Windsor (1m2f, good) last September and ended last season with a good second in the mud at Bath; returns after 160 days off but her first win was after a break and she's only 3lb higher than for her last success; one to keep an eye on. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 2 (8) |
30th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 2f 37y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Made a successful handicap debut in this last year (soft) and added a 1m2f Windsor handicap in September (on good); inconsistent but has a big run in him off this mark. |

4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 35y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Inconsistent and without a win since September 2024; however, he was denied a clear run when second of six at Leicester (1m2f, good to firm) recently and can be in the shake-up if backing that up; versatile ground-wise. |
13/2 |
|
2nd 5 (2) |
25th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Three turf wins at up to about 1m2f (good to soft and soft), most recent in 2024; promising reappearance on AW in February but he hasn't done as well since and there was little in the locker at Hamilton recently. |
9/2 |
|
4th 4 (3) |
15th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 35y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
It's now 15 starts since his last victory and he was tried in cheekpieces when a below-par seventh in 1m2f handicap at Nottingham last month; needs to take a big step forward. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Lightly raced; sole win came over 7f at Chester last September and he's shown only the odd glimmer of promise in handicaps on AW and turf since; falling quickly in the weights but cheekpieces have a big job to do. |
14/1 |
|
19th 4 (15) |
15th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Record of 888 in handicaps (1m-1m2f) reflects his lack of progress since the novice performances that included a debut success in sole 7f attempt; however, this drop back in trip may prompt a resurgence. |
25/1 |
|
8th 3 (6) |
8th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Started his career with a win at Chester (7f, good) and a second at Southwell (1m, AW) last autumn; looked a useful prospect in those two runs but he's finished a well-held eighth in his two handicaps since; still unexposed but he needs improvement at this new trip. |

8th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Won twice over this trip for Ben Brookhouse last year but his stable/hurdle debut in December was underwhelming and he made a low-key return to the Flat last month; others have much less to prove. |
25/1 |
|
9th 5 (2) |
8th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Struggled on hurdling/stable at Newbury in December but his last Flat run resulted in a brave win at Newmarket (1m4f, good) in the autumn; still looks feasibly treated on that form and he's in the mix back from another break; had a second wind operation since his last run. |
11/2 |
|
4 (5) |
25th Sep 2025 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Had a good year, including a breakthrough win at York (1m4f, good to firm) in July; creditable second at Chester (extended 1m4f, good) 12 days ago and a 2lb nudge shouldn't prevent a prominent showing. |

8th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Lightly raced 5yo who won on handicap debut at Wolverhampton in December (8.6f) and has run to a similar level in three subsequent runs; needs to find more but he's unexposed at this trip and was beaten less than 1l when fifth at Newcastle (1m2f) last time; not ruled out. |
7/1 |
|
5th 1 (8) |
5th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Lightly raced 5yo who has proved consistent so far, twice finishing third over similar trips to this since narrowly making a successful handicap debut at Wolverhampton (8.6f, Tapeta) in December; may still have more to offer and respected. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 1 (10) |
26th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Lightly raced 5yo; narrowly made a successful handicap debut here (8.6f) last month and finished half a length behind Oman when third of nine at Chelmsford (1m2f, Polytrack) 11 days ago; cheekpieces given a go and remains open to further progress. |
