2nd 1 (5) |
19th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Front-runner who's won five already this year, the first four over C&D; a 5lb rise for his latest turf victory under 5lb claimer Jack Nicholls demands more but such has been his rate of progress he may well be up to it. |
11/4 |
|
1st 1 (10) |
7th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Front-runner who landed his fourth 7f Newcastle success of the year when seeing off 13 rivals last month; his 2lb nudge for that is offset by his rider's claim; 0-4 on turf but probably a bit premature to suggest he won't prove fully effective on the grass. |
4/1 |
|
1st 8 (5) |
20th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Front-runner who won three in a row over C&D at the start of the year; finished out the back behind Anthropologist here last month but he didn't lead in that race and raced freely after being crowded in the pack; this is another competitive event but he has possibilities if he can bounce back. |

3rd 4 (13) |
19th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Three-time course winner who's been in good form here this spring; no obvious reason he won't go well again, having split Lord Capulet and King's School last month, but there's not much room for manoeuvre off this mark. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 6 (5) |
1st May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Close up behind Beale Street here in March (6f) and produced a similar effort from off the pace to be runner-up over C&D 11 days ago; needs a good pace to chase (stays 1m) and no guarantee that he'll get one here. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 6 (1) |
20th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
His last three wins have been at Newcastle and he produced a powerful finish when going close in a Class 4 here (6f) last month; looks interesting off only 1lb higher on this drop back in grade and his last success was over C&D. |

19th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Three-time C&D winner, latterly after a five-month break off 4lb lower last August; another solid effort fresh when not far behind Lord Capulet and The Green Man four weeks ago and is 7lb better off with the winner; can miss the break but is considered. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 7 (6) |
20th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Has a fine record over C&D including three wins, four seconds and four thirds; didn't fire here in his final run last year but he remains feasibly treated on his best form and his last win was after a break; needs watching in the market back from 139 days off. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 7 (10) |
4th Nov 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Unplaced in his three turf runs but a three-time winner on the AW and returns to grass in a good run of form; hard to dismiss. |

20th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
The winner of three of his 34 starts for Richard Fahey, the latest off this mark at Newcastle in January (6f); sold for 19,000gns last month; capable at this level and the betting should be revealing starting out for Adam Kirby. |
9/2 |
|
4th 2 (14) |
20th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Just 1lb higher than when winning here (6f, AW) in January but he has a mixed record since and was only sixth of nine at Chelmsford last month; this return to 7f is no problem but he needs to get back in the groove. |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Sole win from 19 came at Ripon (1m, good) last April; mostly consistent this year, a close fourth to Flying Fletcher over C&D in January, and occupied that same position behind Barry's Boy here in March; easing mark, with Paul Mulrennan booked for the first time. |
10/1 |

4th 8 (1) |
19th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Rare run at shy of 1m when not far behind three of these over C&D last month; generally consistent but has only won once and didn't build on that back on turf last time. |
12/1 |
|
8th 3 (5) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Sole win was at Ripon (1m, good) last April but he's run plenty of good races since; last week's fifth of 14 at Newcastle (7f) was another respectable effort but he remains 2lb above the mark he defied at Ripon. |

9st 2lb |
Gained his third success when winning at Newcastle (7f, AW) in March having got plenty of cover when there was a headwind; wasn't able to match that effort there 23 days ago and now steps back up in grade; returns to turf with place claims. |
12/1 |

6th 3 (4) |
20th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

4yo who recorded his third win when beating ten rivals over C&D last month; back up 4lb but he travelled strongly for a long way last time and hit a personal best with that stylish success; key player. |

Wins have been over 6f on turf and 7f on the AW (Newcastle); has been running well for a while and latest effort back at Newcastle was better than it looks. |
5/1 |

7th 10 (10) |
20th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Record of 2-20 but his last win was over C&D last month and he was only beaten 2l behind Anthropologist here last time; remains feasibly treated on his best form and he has possibilities. |
9/1 |

4th 6 (1) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Promising third when back up to 7f at Southwell last month then won over this C&D, beating Concert Boy (due to run in the 5:00) by a short head; unexposed at the trip and respected up just 2lb. |

9st 3lb |
Beaten 13 times since last win at Newcastle (7f, AW) last September but close fifth of seven at Ayr (1m, good to firm) recently and he may appreciate the return to 7f; his mark continues to fall and he might not be far away. |
15/2 |

5th 6 (6) |
5th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Has done his winning over 6f/7f, the last five times on AW (hasn't scored on turf since 2023); kept mostly to Newcastle since last September; not the percentage call in this scenario. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
More productive on AW (5-17) than on turf (2-28) and was only run out of it inside the final furlong at Newcastle (7f Class 5; 9-1) in March; less effective since (0-2) but is slowly easing in the weights, and is perhaps best suited by 6f. |
11/1 |

9th 4 (3) |
20th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Seven-time winner who scored off 1lb higher over C&D in September; has been hit and miss since but he finished second here (7f) on his penultimate run and wasn't disgraced after an awkward start at Southwell last time; usually races prominently and he's not ruled out back at this track. |

20th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

11-time course winner who defied this mark over C&D in December; some creditable efforts since but he has been a bit up and down and was only sixth behind Anthropologist here last time; others preferred. |

|
6th 5 (9) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
11-time course winner, the latest over C&D in December, and he twice finished placed over C&D last month; certainly of interest on that form but this 12yo has gone off the boil on his last two starts. |

14th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

10-47 on AW, with all bar one of those wins coming at Newcastle (7f-1m2f); now sits 3lb below his last winning mark, and Tom Kiely-Marshall's 5lb claim is a bonus, but seems to have lost his way; may strip fitter for 7f course comeback run. |

19th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Nine course wins to his name, mainly in the early months of the year; 50-1 for his C&D return a month ago, when well behind a few of these, and needs a big step forward. |

Dual course winner who can miss the break and/or pull hard; does most racing now over further and didn't offer much on her comeback here last month without the usual hood (back on today). |

20th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Two AW wins at 7f and she ran respectably over that trip in turf handicaps late last summer but was too far below her best in November and on her reappearance last month to make much appeal today. |

Two 7f wins on Tapeta last year including a dominant display in a C&D handicap in November; flopped here in her final run in 2025 but she's had a break since and it wouldn't be a surprise if she found more progress as a 4yo; needs a close look on her return. |
