4th 7 (3) |
28th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Quickly clicked into gear for this yard with an eyeshield fitted, scoring twice on AW in April before close second at Lingfield (also 6f, good) last Monday; due for a 1lb nudge in future and he can't be ignored. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 6 (6) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Has got it together for his current (third) yard since fitted with an eyeshield; needs to improve on previous turf efforts but a 3lb rise looks fair and he has a decent chance of completing the hat-trick. |
2/1 |

1st 3 (5) |
27th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Came good for new stable at third attempt, overcoming some traffic issues before winning readily at Wolverhampton (6f) ten days ago; 4lb rise does not look excessive and this C&D also suits; good chance. |

4th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Maiden; two poor efforts of late, with and without a hood, but he ran well for a long way behind a subsequent winner at Wolverhampton (6f) in April and is worth another go at 5f; first-time blinkers today. |
13/2 |
|
8th 10 (4) |
28th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |
8st 6lb |
0-5 on turf; didn't build on his second at Wolverhampton in April when favourite but flopping at Southwell (also 6f, AW) a fortnight later; others hold more pressing claims. |
14/1 |
|
6th 3 (7) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Prominent racer who got off the mark in a 6f handicap at Lingfield (AW) last September; similar form when second to an improving rival at Wolverhampton 13 days ago; easy lead unlikely but he is still considered. |

21st May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Continues to edge down the weights, but 0-16 in handicaps and stamina for this far remains a major concern; finished behind two of these over C&D a fortnight ago; stable also runs Vecchio. |
14/1 |
|
11th 1 (10) |
7th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Had beaten only one rival home in his first four starts for this stable but he's posted two solid efforts since wearing the hood on its own; down another 2lb and he's an each-way contender. |
8/1 |
|
4th 4 (3) |
23rd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Had beaten only one rival home in his first four starts for this stable but he took a step back in the right direction when third at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) six days ago when wearing the hood on its own (same today); chance. |

1st Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Things didn't pan out for him when back over 6f here in April (first-time visor; cheekpieces now refitted) but he has a good C&D record, winning once and close up in all three handicaps; has a good run in him. |
10/1 |
|
4th 8 (1) |
17th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Went close here (7f) on his penultimate run but he's not easy to predict and was well held when favourite at Thirsk (7f, good) last Friday; needs to step up again after that and all of his three wins have been over 7f; first-time visor. |
15/2 |
|
7th 8 (4) |
10th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Three-time winner and has been shaping as though his turn could be near once more, going down narrowly the last twice at Wolverhampton (7f); can race keenly but if getting some cover from stall 4 he should be on the scene. |

11th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won here in 2023 and she scored twice at Wolverhampton (7f/6f, AW) last June; good third at Wolverhampton in March but not at the same level there on either start since and she needs to raise her game. |
20/1 |
|
5th 5 (2) |
17th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Her last four wins have been at this track and latest was off 1lb lower over C&D last June; mixed results in three runs this year but she had traffic issues last time and was placed here (6f) on her penultimate run; in the mix. |

29th May 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Four C&D wins but the latest was back in 2024 and he's struggled a bit here off this sort of mark in recent attempts; has been running well on turf of late, though, and he shouldn't be that far away. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 7 (1) |
22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Made all to win a Class 6 handicap over C&D last month; not so good on his next two starts but returned to his recent best when a close second at Beverley ten days ago; runs off the same mark today and he's ideally drawn to attack; should go well. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 5 (3) |
12th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Scored over C&D (off 1lb higher) last summer and at Pontefract this spring but has proved inconsistent otherwise during that period; no banker to give his running. |

6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Four wins in a purple patch in the second half of 2025; now 5lb lower than for his last success but he's struggled at big prices in five runs this year and needs to turn things around; one of two runners for the yard. |
25/1 |

7th 7 (3) |
17th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Four wins in a purple patch in the second half of 2025; now 2lb lower than for his last success but he's struggled at big prices in four runs this year and needs to get back on track. |
20/1 |

7th 5 (8) |
4th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |

Four wins in a purple patch in the second half of 2025; struggled at big odds in three runs this year; enough to prove for now. |

8th 2 (8) |
17th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Ten-time sprint winner who scored at Bath (5f, good) two weeks ago and the quick turnaround may have caused his downfall at Kempton three days later; has claims if he can recapture that penultimate form and his four runs over C&D include a win and two thirds; dangerous. |
7/2 |
|
9th 1 (3) |
8th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Often a front-runner and dual C&D winner who has been in good form lately, including scoring by a neck at Bath (5f, good) on Sunday; has a 4lb penalty for that, but is well drawn to attack and much respected. |
7/2 |
|
1st 5 (7) |
5th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Front-runner; two wins in December and in the money on his last three starts; just 1-15 on turf as opposed to 8-37 on AW; others appeal more for win purposes. |
7/2 |
