17th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Kickstarted 2026 with gutsy 5f Southwell success in April but suffered early interference when ninth in 5f Chester handicap nine days ago; it would come as no surprise to see him bounce back. |
12/1 |

9th 12 (5) |
8th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 3 |
8st 12lb |
Effective on good to firm ground but his best turf results have come on a slower surface; got the better of Ambishio at Southwell on reappearance four weeks ago; found plenty for pressure there and should give it another good go. |
7/1 |

1st 6 (2) |
11th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Busy 2yo who came into his own in the autumn, wide-margin 5f winner at Ffos Las (heavy) and creditable shows over 6f (soft and heavy) on final two starts; unraced on AW and prolific winning sibling Spoof was 0-11 on sand for this yard so has some questions to answer. |

31st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Gained a first win at Southwell (5f) in January and in good form until only eighth in 5f Chester handicap 23 days ago; he's the sort to bounce back. |
10/1 |
|
8th 11 (1) |
8th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
Improved for a gelding operation, winning a Southwell handicap in January and running well in defeat twice last month (closely matched with Proof on Southwell form); has the inside stall and should make a bold bid. |
6/1 |
|
4th 8 (9) |
24th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
0-5 last year, all on turf, but he showed promise and won a handicap at Southwell (5f, AW) in January on his first run since being gelded; close second at Southwell (5f, AW) a fortnight ago and could be thereabouts if the return to grass isn't an issue. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Dual nursery (5f, AW) winner who was outpaced when a little short of room on his turf debut at Bath last month; this step back up to 6f should help. |
11/1 |
|
7th 2 (3) |
27th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Has built up a solid record on AW, latterly 1123 since handicapping and dropped to 5f; good effort on reappearance last time; likely player, assuming he proves as good on turf. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 1 (5) |
11th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Progressive 2yo who was involved in tight finishes for all three 5f Tapeta handicaps, winning over C&D and at Wolverhampton before having what may have been a difficult task at the weights at Newcastle in December; can be dangerous off the same mark. |

25th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
6f AW winner for the Crisfords as a 2yo; two solid efforts for his new stable but he finished behind Fille Unique and Data Fata Secutus at Musselburgh last month; needs to pull out more to win. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 1 (2) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Raced on AW, winning 6f Chelmsford novice for the Crisfords last summer; led until well inside the final furlong when fourth of seven in 5f Southwell handicap on reappearance for new yard 18 days ago; if he comes on only a little for that outing he could take a bit of pegging back in this lower grade. |
100/30 |
|
4th 7 (4) |
11th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Tongue tied in three AW starts for the Crisfords, winning a 6f Chelmsford novice in August but only eighth of 11 on handicap debut at Lingfield in September; sold 15,000gns since; no tongue-tie on first 5f run; too many questions this time. |

2nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Record is only 1-12; well treated on best efforts but is starting to go the wrong way and ran to nowhere near her rating in 5f seller most recently; chance largely depends on the effects of first-time cheekpieces. |
25/1 |
|
4th 4 (5) |
12th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Very similar type to Artista, having scored over C&D (good to firm) last May; behind that filly at Bath most recently, running below par, but holds a good chance on these terms provided she rebounds. |
3/1 |
|
8th 3 (1) |
27th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Consistent efforts in AW sprints this year and ties in with Comic Strip on the latest one; registered sole success on turf and looks a solid contender returned to this sphere. |

9st 7lb |
Sole attempt at Pontefract resulted in his 2yo debut success (5f); 0-7 since but ran respectably at Beverley most recently and is interesting off a reduced mark returned to this venue. |
13/2 |
|
4th 6 (11) |
4th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Won a 5f Pontefract novice on debut in April 2025 (good); some fair form after that and could go well despite high draw. |
20/1 |
|
6th 5 (7) |
11th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Weights chance on defeat of Saucy Jane on Pontefract form (5f) last spring, when they finished first and second, but some water under the bridge since then and he ran one of his lesser races on sole AW start, at Newcastle in June; needs to have improved during his break to win today. |

30th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 17y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Off the mark at the sixth attempt when beating eight rivals in a 5f novice at Southwell in February; had earlier chased home Champonie at Newcastle but had an experience advantage that day; needs to bounce back from a low-key Southwell run (5f; handicap debut) seven weeks ago. |
9/1 |
|
7th 2 (1) |
11th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Early ability at 6f and 7f but she benefited from the drop to 5f when winning over C&D in February; that wasn't particularly competitive but as an unexposed improver she needs considering on her handicap debut. |
7/2 |
