25th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Contrasting performances this term for new yard, winning at Redcar then failing to beat a rival at Newmarket; chance of rebound partly depends on the effects of first-time headgear. |

2nd May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Campaigned in Qatar and France in 2025; went off joint-favourite on return to Britain and won nine-runner race at Redcar (1m, good to firm) 12 days ago, digging deep; only 2lb higher and should be in the thick of things again. |

20th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Failed to shine in France last summer on his last two starts; however, he has potential off this mark if tapping back into the promise shown in Britain in 2024 at the start of his career; the betting could be informative on his first run for Hamad Al Jehani (remains in same ownership). |

20th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who has been running well in UAE this year, going close in big-field handicap in February (1m, good) then third of ten last month (1m, dirt); major player if continuing the good work back in Britain. |

27th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Comfortable winner of a Kempton novice (7f, Polytrack) last December, but had a nightmare passage on handicap/turf debut at York (7f, good to firm) in May; returns from 166 days off having been gelded; worth a second look. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Has course form; ran with great credit in stronger races than this as a 4yo when three wins included one in the Shergar Cup (first run at 1m, good to firm; acts on good to soft) at Ascot; he wasn't the same horse in either of his two runs last year but fared much better when a close third at Redcar last month; major player. |

20th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Well handicapped on his form in 2024, when he won four times; not written off for good yard and one to watch in the betting after a break, but he ran just twice last year and was well beaten each time; something to prove. |

25th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
Maiden winner who is 0-11 in handicaps and failed to improve for a visor (retained) most recently, while also failing to build on an encouraging reappearance effort; otherwise well treated on best efforts. |
11/2 |
|
6th 9 (12) |
7th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Sole win was a maiden as 2yo on his only run at this track; none too consistent in his 11 starts since but recent reappearance was respectable and this return to 1m2f should be okay; record with blinkers or cheekpieces (both absent last time) gives encouragement for today's first-time visor; wide draw. |
16/1 |

4th 5 (4) |
20th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
0-7 last season and inconsistent; however, he was a close third of 11 at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) last July and also showed spark when third at Southwell (1m4f, AW) in September; on a career-low mark and not ruled out. |

15th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Won two in a row at Redcar (1m, good to firm) last spring for George Boughey and he's just 1lb higher than when last successful; effective at 1m2f earlier in career; however, he hasn't been at his best on his last four starts, for this yard on the last two occasions, and he has to raise his game. |
33/1 |

20th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Soundly beaten in mid-division on last month's stable/seasonal debut in the Spring Mile at Doncaster but that was his first encounter with slow ground and he may have needed the run; won twice over this C&D (good to firm) last spring, including this race, and could play a leading role back here. |

9st 7lb |
AW wins at 1m and 1m2f and he's 0-8 on turf; refused to race on second run back from an absence and, following his fading fifth at Redcar (1m2f) recently, a further drop in the weights could be in order; at least this is a drop in grade, though. |
16/1 |

5th 6 (2) |
30th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Not the force of old on AW and he refused to race at Lingfield in February; made it 0-7 on turf when 5l sixth of nine here (1m, good to firm) last Monday but that wasn't devoid of promise as he was denied a clear run and kept on pretty nicely; he's not ruled out each-way back up in trip. |
16/1 |

20th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 3 |

Very well handicapped on AW form up to 2024 but inferior on turf (0-6); down the field in January (7f, AW) following an absence and refused to race in February; arrives with plenty to prove. |

15th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
8st 7lb |
Prominent-racer who won twice during last season's 3yo campaign (1m, good to soft/good to firm) and returned to form when third at Redcar (1m, good) last Thursday on his second start of the season; it's possible this new trip will be within range and he has an each-way shout if seeing it out. |
25/1 |

3rd 5 (2) |
7th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
This C&D brought out the best in him last season, with two wins in the summer (good to soft/good to firm) and a close third of 13 in the autumn; faded as if needing his reappearance back here 17 days ago and ought to be sharper now. |
11/1 |

7th 7 (7) |
20th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 3 |

This C&D brought out the best in him last season, with two wins in the summer (good to soft/good to firm) and a close third of 13 in October when last seen; strong contender if fully tuned up for this reappearance. |

20th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 3 |
8st 4lb |
Two wins at Newcastle (1m, AW) this year, including on his latest start last month; 2lb out of the handicap today and he's 0-13 on turf, but has been placed a few times on grass and is not discounted. |
6/1 |

1st 5 (9) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Just 2-33 but both wins have come here, the latest over C&D last month; found to be lame when down the field two days later and 7f looked too sharp when third here three weeks ago; he's one to consider now back up in trip. |
9/2 |

3rd 7 (6) |
6th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Too strong for his rivals in a Class 6 over a mile here last month; reportedly finished lame when disappointing (13-8f) behind Golden Strike here four weeks ago; revised 3lb higher mark has now kicked in. |

9st 4lb |
Third in 2yo Group 2 in 2024; ran respectably off a falling mark on a few occasions last season but he's struggled in two 1m handicaps (good to soft/good to firm) this spring; has plenty to prove and overall record is now 1-14. |
20/1 |

9th 6 (5) |
20th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Third in 2yo Group 2 in 2024; unable to reproduce that promise last season and well beaten in last month's Spring Mile on stable/seasonal debut; however, he has a reduced mark to work with and his new trainer may well find the key to him sooner rather than later; the returning visor may be a plus. |
