2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Has enjoyed a good year with four wins, two of them over C&D; last two efforts leave her with a bit to prove, though. |
14/1 |

12th 2 (11) |
23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Hardy mare who landed four races on AW (1m to 9.5f) between February and April; also a previous four-time winner on turf but this is just her second crack at 1m2f on her 111th start; still not discounted. |
12/1 |

6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

9yo who has won four times since February including twice over C&D; held in third when unpenalised at Wolverhampton last time but she wasn't beaten far and that was another creditable effort; should be in the mix again off 3lb higher. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 3f 179y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Three-time winner, the most recent coming at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW) in November; runner-up there over 9.5f in April but he was well beaten at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) three weeks ago and needs to bounce back. |
16/1 |

10th 5 (16) |
23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Good run of turf form last summer included when making all at Yarmouth (1m2f, good to soft; acts on quicker) in July; mostly creditable efforts on AW since winning at Wolverhampton (1m4f) in November and he's far from ruled out back on grass despite tricky stall. |

30th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Winless since 2024 and is having his first run on turf in three years; down to a career-low mark and has been in fair form in blinkers, but he's regressive and has returned three poor efforts in turf handicaps. |
4/1 |
|
5th 7 (1) |
11th May 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |

Dual C&D winner who's been brightened up by the blinkers of late without having the breaks; a slow start cost him here a month ago and he's one to consider. |

27th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Ended a losing run in a similar event over C&D in January (visored first time); she has found it tougher going since and she needs to leave her latest run well behind her. |
16/1 |

9th 2 (6) |
3rd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

Landed a similar contest at Lingfield (1m2f, AW) in January, but that her only success in her last 25 starts; could go well but others preferred for the win. |

Won a classified event at Lingfield (1m2f, AW; first-time visor) in January; held in three starts since, most recently in a classified 15 days ago; others make more appeal. |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has plenty of form over C&D including two wins; losing run up to 18, but he has never raced down at this level before so can't be dismissed by any means; stable also runs Sorted. |
5/1 |
|
6th 2 (4) |
13th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Has done all his winning at about 1m, including four times at Bath; has bits of 1m2f form but doesn't look the percentage call; losing run is mounting up. |
8/1 |

5th 6 (2) |
4th May 2026 Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
10st 9lb |
Four C&D wins on good or slower (handles good to firm, not at best in one run on firm); not at his best this year but that is reflected in his much-reduced mark; risky but not impossible. |

Yet to offer much in his eight runs to date; beaten 13l at Leicester (1m2f, good to firm) last month; wears first-time blinkers but not easy to warm to. |

1-17 on the AW, the win coming in a similar contest to this at Chelmsford (1m2f) last August; hard to know how she will cope on her belated turf debut, though. |

9th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |

Sole win from 16 starts came in a classified event at Chelmsford (1m2f, AW) last August; solid fifth of eight in a C&D classified event 23 days ago but better is needed back in a handicap. |

17th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |

Returned to form with a comfortable win off a reduced mark at Pontefract (1m, good) 12 days ago; back up 6lb in the weights but that was a personal best last time and he's effective at this trip; shortlisted. |

11th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |

Running consistently well in recent months including winning a handicap at Newcastle (1m, Tapeta) in June; yet to attempt this far, but still one for the shortlist down to this level for the first time. |

3rd 5 (1) |

Both wins over 1m, at Ffos Las (heavy) last September and at Newcastle (AW) last month; finished second of six at Nottingham (1m2f, good to firm) this month and she is one for the shortlist off the same mark. |
