1st 5 (7) |
15th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Sole win from 18 starts came in a novice at Redcar (6f, soft) in October 2024; well beaten in his first starts since returning from a break but he came back to form from a career-low mark when second of 12 at Catterick (5f, good) a week ago; that was his first try over 5f and he's contender. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 4 (11) |
8th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Yet to win a handicap but he was twice placed off a 7lb higher mark last September; two AW runs last month should have sharpened him up and this is a drop in grade; apprentice takes off a valuable 5lb but a wide draw on his first attempt at 5f, and a sharp one at that, dents confidence. |

27th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Has run some good races on Tapeta this year and only just failed at Southwell (5f) in April; however, he wasn't in much form on turf in 2025, including in this race, and looks unlikely to break his turf duck. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 9 (1) |
15th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Two of his three wins have been over C&D and he was second of eight here in a classified event in February; below his best in two starts since but he may be capable of bouncing back. |
12/1 |
|
8th 5 (2) |
12th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
C&D winner who looked unlucky not to finish closer when having Stroxx and A Lady Forever behind here last weekend; not as good now and has a bit to find on these terms but does at least arrive in form. |

8th 6 (9) |
22nd Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
C&D winner who also finished third in this last year; has been in good nick since the visor went on, winning a classified at Southwell and Newcastle (February/March) and placed in three handicaps (also 5f, AW) subsequently; can take a grip so today's likely good pace will suit and he gets on well with Conor Whiteley; player. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 1 (9) |
15th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won classified events over C&D in February and at Newcastle in March; placed in handicap company on both starts since, latest when a close third of 13 here 13 days; good claims once again. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 3 (2) |
2nd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Won classified events over C&D and at Newcastle (penalised) before being brushed aside by Little Mi Mi at Newcastle three weeks ago; a 5lb turnaround in the weights should see things finish closer today. |

19th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Dual AW winner (6f/7f) but his last success was 17 months ago and he's been up and down in five runs this year; ran too freely at Lingfield last time but that was a disappointing run as favourite and he needs to bounce back again after that. |
10/1 |
|
8th 10 (4) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Has modest 2-33 strike-rate but one of the wins was gained over C&D and he returns here after two fairly good fourths, the latter in first-time visor at Southwell (5f) a fortnight ago; more appealing than most. |

15th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Promise in her maiden/novice runs (5f-7f) and she had a nightmare passage on her handicap debut at Beverley (5f, good to firm) last July; had a wide trip when down the field here over 6f last month on her first start for 252 days; dropped back in trip with a tongue-tie applied and she may well take a step forward from that effort. |
16/1 |
|
10th 2 (10) |
14th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Unexposed 4yo; promise in her maiden/novice runs (5f-7f) and her handicap debut last July (5f, good to firm) is not the run to judge her on as she was hemmed in on the rail and had lost all chance by the time she was in the clear; market useful back from 252 days off. |
12/1 |
|
5th 9 (2) |
5th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Well held at big prices in her three qualifying runs but she has shown some speed and looks a possible improver now dropped back to 5f on handicap debut; needs watching in market. |

Four wins last year, starting with this race (good to firm), and he's been running well in the main on Southwell AW this spring; solid claims. |

19th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
His last win was at Windsor 13 months ago but that was off 13lb higher and he finished a close third over C&D (good to firm) on his penultimate run; has possibilities if he can recapture that form and he won't mind what the weather does. |
15/2 |
|
8th 4 (5) |
15th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Won at Windsor last April off a mark 12lb higher than today's and he took a step back in the right direction when a close-up third at Nottingham (5f) a week ago; claims if building on that now returned to the AW. |
9/2 |

3rd 8 (3) |

6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

Poor, regressive maiden who's barely beaten a rival in half a dozen runs for this yard; the first-time eyshield/blinkers will need to make quite a difference. |

9th 7 (10) |
15th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |

Promise in novice/maiden events for Andrew Balding but he's been well beaten in seven handicaps since, including five for this stable; drops to 5f with a transformation needed; best watched. |

|
10th 10 (4) |
15th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
19-race maiden who was well beaten in four starts for Adrian Wintle last term; didn't shape badly when sixth at Chelmsford on his first start for this stable last month having been off for nearly a year; may come on for that. |
