20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Took advantage of a reduced mark when scoring at Wolverhampton (9.4f; first-time cheekpieces) last month and he followed up with a dominant display on his return visit two weeks later; 7lb higher here but he remains well handicapped on his old form including a win over C&D; key player. |

1st 4 (4) |
21st Apr 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Caught the eye on penultimate start; justified market support over C&D subsequently (in newly applied cheekpieces), that his first win since September 2023; a 4lb rise looks fair, so he's entitled to be on the premises assuming the headgear continues to have the desired effect. |

6th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
No win since September 2023 (1m, Kempton; from 9lb higher); caught the eye making late headway (sixth; 16-1) over 8.5f here seven weeks ago; interesting to see if added cheekpieces can instigate a revival; market helpful. |

18th May 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Scored over C&D off this mark last September; encouraging second over C&D last month on reappearance and the booking of Oisin Murphy may be significant; solid claims. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 2 (6) |
21st Apr 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Kept on well when making the breakthrough over C&D (from 1lb lower) last September; less effective since, losing a shoe when only fourth of five at Kempton (1m3f); it's possible that she'll return fresher off a 167-day absence. |

28th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Rattled up a hat-trick in 0-50 classified events on Tapeta for Daragh Bourke (7f-9.5f) in January; has run with credit in her last three starts for this yard, but still has to conclusively prove she wants this far. |
9/1 |
|
3rd 5 (3) |
21st Apr 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Rattled up a hat-trick for Daragh Bourke (7f-9.5f) earlier in the year; similar level of form since joining this trainer, runner-up over 8.5f here on penultimate start, and perhaps found 1m4f too far at Catterick (6-4 favourite) a fortnight ago; chance. |
5/2 |
|
4th 4 (1) |
8th Apr 2026 Good 1m 4f 13y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Won three classified events at up to 9.4f in the space of four days in January when trained by Daragh Bourke; better effort in handicaps for new yard when second off 11 at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 19 days ago; good shout on that form buts need to prove that he's as effective on turf (0-9) and that he has the stamina for this much longer trip. |

4th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
No win since May 2024 (1m2f, Bath) but she has fallen a long way in the weights as a result; may have needed her reappearance run at Wolverhampton (9.4f) last month but she had a patchy record last season and others are more convincing. |
12/1 |

4th 6 (2) |
21st Apr 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
No win since May 2024 (1m2f, Bath) but she has fallen a long way in the weights as a result; bogged down on heavy ground at Nottingham last October; it's difficult to know what to expect returned to AW (0-11) off a six-month absence. |

23rd Oct 2025 Soft 1m 2f 50y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
C&D winner who handles testing conditions; short of her best on last two starts but August's Chelmsford third came off 5lb higher. |

21st Apr 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Still a maiden (0-12) but she's been consistent (form figures 26253) since joining Ian Williams; drops back in trip having failed to see out 1m4f at Southwell (third of six, beaten 5l) 24 days ago. |
13/2 |
|
3rd 1 (6) |
28th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Runner-up over 1m/1m2f on two of her last four starts (including here) but she made it 0-11 when soundly beaten in 1m3f handicap here last time and this exposed 4yo may be vulnerable once more. |
8/1 |
|
5th 6 (3) |
4th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 4 |
8st 4lb |
Beaten by a subsequent winner here over 1m on her stable debut in January; lesser effort at Kempton next time but she was back to form when second of four behind an unexposed rival at Lingfield (1m2f, AW) 20 days ago; claims returned to handicap company. |

2nd Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Kept to a track that suits as his form at Pontefract features wins in 2024/2025 and a resurgent effort (close third) in latest start; faces some unexposed types among his younger rivals but holds a solid chance. |
5/1 |

3rd 10 (9) |
22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |

Conditions no problem and he has slipped back down the weights but this year's efforts leave him with a point to prove. |

17th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |
