14th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 6lb |
He's been an improved model this year and won a shade cosily at Beverley (5f, good) last month; his subsequent run at Musselburgh (5f, good) three days later, when fourth, may have come too soon and further progress can't be ruled out, but it's necessary with this step up in grade. |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Reacted well to first-time cheekpieces when picking up nicely to collar a back-to-form rival (pair clear) at Haydock (5f, soft) on Thursday; 5lb penalty in a deeper race but a bigger factor could be that the ground is unlikely to be as testing this time (has won on good but seems most potent when the mud is flying). |

21st May 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Returned to form when second at Beverley (5f, good) last month; sixth of seven there since (5f, good to soft) but beaten less than 2l and he's a three-time winner here (6f/5f, good-heavy); could be bang there now back here in first-time cheekpieces. |

Last win came off a 6lb higher mark over C&D in April 2025 (good); runner-up in that equivalent race 11 days ago (good) and with rain about, could go well again. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Started favourite on his first nine starts last year, winning two of them, both off lower marks; hit traffic over an inadequate 5f on his comeback a few weeks ago, which will ensure he's popular once again for a yard also responsible for Cairdeas. |
4/1 |

23rd Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

All best form at 6f on good or quicker ground; easily excused a modest farewell to 2025 on account of soft going but he does have something to prove in his first-ever 5f run. |

1st Jun 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Decent 2yo who proved hard to place last year and has again lacked consistency this spring; the blinkers come off as he makes his AW debut off a career-low mark and it's hard to know what to expect in truth. |
14/1 |
|
7th 6 (4) |
22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Won twice at Chester as a 2yo; just missed out over C&D last month (blinkers first time) when finding only Betweenthesticks too strong; ran okay at Beverley next time and he was drawn wide when disappointing back there ten days ago; stable also run Changeofmind. |
10/1 |
|
8th 1 (10) |
12th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Close second at Pontefract and respectable fourth over C&D since wearing blinkers; losing run is mounting up but he again has frame possibilities in the retained headgear. |

22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Four of his six wins have come over C&D, including the corresponding race in 2024; drew a blank in 2025 but retains ability and he has run some solid races in defeat this year too, keeping on for fourth at Beverley 18 days ago; drops in class but he has the widest stall to contend with. |
8/1 |

4th 7 (6) |
4th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
9yo who is on an 18-race losing run; good second over C&D last July (good to firm) and is now 3lb lower. |
10/1 |
|
5th 4 (1) |
23rd Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Has won two of three C&D starts (good and good to firm), the latest in July 2024; went very close to breaking the losing run when involved in a tight finish on Southwell AW in March; convincing claims. |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Still to find top form this term but he is well handicapped if a change of headgear (first-time visor for cheekpieces) gives him a lift. |
20/1 |
|
5th 3 (11) |
4th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Still to find top form this term but he's attractively handicapped and may prove resurgent with Tom Marquand up for first time; gained last three wins off current mark or thereabouts. |
8/1 |
|
6th 1 (5) |
23rd Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Unraced on this course but some of his best form has come over Sandown's similarly stiff 5f and he's back on the same mark as his latest win there last June (good; a race he'd won 12 months earlier); every chance of being seen to good effect back on turf. |

27th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Front-runner; two 5f wins on AW; 0-8 on turf but she didn't go down by much when third at Hamilton (5f, good) this month; she produced a much weaker finish there since, though, and her stamina will be tested on this stiffer track; yard won this in 2025. |
9/1 |

15th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |

Dual AW winner who finished 1l third over C&D (good) most recently, posting her best turf effort; place possibilities off same mark. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 6 (11) |
3rd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Both wins came on the AW in early 2025; her more recent efforts on either side of a wind operation have been thoroughly underwhelming. |

11th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
A 2yo winner over 6f (very soft) in France but she's been high in the weights since trained in Britain and little sign of that changing in two runs this year; down another 2lb but likely that it isn't enough. |
9/1 |
|
8th 3 (7) |
23rd Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Won over 6f in France (very soft) as 2yo; couldn't cope with high marks in Britain last year and made no serious impact on reappearance at Doncaster (6f, good to soft) last month; may need more weight off her back. |
20/1 |

9th 17 (17) |
29th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 2y Class 3 |
8st 7lb |
6f winner in France as a 2yo; found life tough in four sprint handicap runs for Gemma Tutty last year, showing her best form when third of eight at Pontefract on the second occasion; may need more help from the handicapper. |

28th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Doesn't always look the easiest of rides but recent efforts respectable (fifth of 17 at Thirsk latest) and he's been successful on the last two occasions he's dropped into a 0-70; considered. |
11/2 |
|
5th 15 (2) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Doesn't always look the easiest of rides and he reared at the start and was slowly away prior to finishing fourth of six at Bath last Thursday; failed to beat a rival the time before; others look safer. |
14/1 |
|
4th 1 (4) |
4th May 2026 Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Can front-run, as when running away with a Beverley handicap last summer off 6lb lower (5f, good to firm); promising reappearance at Southwell last month but he failed to build on it at Beverley 11 days ago; could bounce back. |
11/2 |
