1st 4 (4) |
1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Has done well since switched to Flat turf for his last two starts with the visor added, winning at Beverley (1m4f, good to firm) in April before second of 12 in an apprentice handicap at Ascot (2m, good) last month (winner followed up at Chester on Saturday); up just another 1lb and high on the list. |

2nd 5 (3) |
8th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 209y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Beaten a nose, a head and a neck in three bumpers; earned his mark over 1m and predictably did better upped in trip when scoring at Kempton (1m3f, AW; first-time cheekpieces) in March; rebounded from a blip next time when going in again at Beverley (1m4f, good to firm; first-time visor) a fortnight ago; dam half-sister to St Leger winner Brian Boru and this new trip could unlock more again; key player. |

1st 2 (6) |
23rd Apr 2026 Good 1m 4f 23y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Has worn cheekpieces since switched to handicaps, winning at Kempton (1m3f) then below par at Lingfield, both on AW; may rebound and have more to offer, provided he responds well to the fitting of visor. |

27th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 23y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Sole win on the Flat came here over 1m2f in June 2024 and he's finished runner-up over this C&D on his last two outings; no reason why he can't go well again. |
2/1 |
|
2nd 3 (3) |
4th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 23y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Course winner who comes here on the back of a good second over C&D 11 days ago; can go well again eased 1lb. |
11/4 |
|
2nd 7 (2) |
23rd Apr 2026 Good 1m 4f 23y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Gained most recent win in handicap hurdle in December; beaten only 2l over C&D last week, taking Beverley record to 1423234; hasn't scored on Flat since June 2024 but looks a solid contender kept to this venue. |

27th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 5 |
8st 7lb |
C&D winner in 2022 but his latest success came nearly two years ago; third on his first two outings this season (1m4f) and did enough to suggest he's still in form when fourth of six at Redcar (1m6f, good) 20 days ago; drop back in trip may not be ideal. |

|
4th 2 (1) |
7th May 2026 Good 1m 5f 218y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
It has been nearly two years since the last of his four wins but his two starts in 2026 have seen him finish third; conditions won't be an excuse and he's more solid than some. |
3/1 |
|
3rd 6 (7) |
23rd Apr 2026 Good 1m 4f 23y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Defied a much higher mark at Beverley in 2022; poor strike-rate since but he ran encouragingly when favourite at Catterick (1m4f) on seasonal debut and has possibilities back here, being so nicely weighted. |

12th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Veteran who is a multiple winner, from 7.5f to 1m4f, at Beverley; however, latest effort (here) doesn't suggest his old legs are crying out for this 3.5f drop back in trip. |
16/1 |
|
4th 5 (3) |
23rd Apr 2026 Good 1m 4f 23y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Veteran who is 6-23 at Beverley, the most recent success last August in last 1m4f attempt; could go well returned to this scenario with Catterick reappearance (7f) under his belt. |
12/1 |

5th 7 (7) |
8th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
All six of his wins in Britain, and all ten of his outings last season, have come at Beverley; won over 7.4f/1m4f last summer but this 10yo lacks a recent outing and hasn't really shone on his three previous visits here. |

20th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 6f 17y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Won two handicaps last July (1m4f, good and 1m6f, firm); he has finished second in two of his three runs this year, latterly beaten a short-head at Leicester 11 days ago (1m4f, good to firm); had just one run on slower than good and finished well beaten, so conditions may be a concern. |
9/4 |

A dual 1m4f/1m6f winner last summer and back in decent form of late, fifth in 1m4f Beverley handicap 16 days ago; possibilities. |

31st May 2026 Good 1m 4f 8y Class 4 |
8st 4lb |
Consistent last July-September and nicely treated on that form; however, she hasn't been at the same level on her two outings this year. |
20/1 |

7th 3 (5) |
3rd May 2026 Good 1m 3f 15y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Made the frame four consecutive times last July-September (1m3f-2m), but made a low-key reappearance last week and is probably better suited by a stiffer test of stamina than this now. |
7/1 |
|
6th 1 (4) |
23rd Apr 2026 Good 1m 4f 23y Class 5 |

Ended last season with a spell of consistent efforts and has frame possibilities provided she returns in similar form; whether she can end a losing spell is another matter (no win since 2023). |

23rd Apr 2026 Good 1m 4f 23y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Needed a drop to Class 6 to open his account in Catterick event (1m4f, good) last time; back up in grade but may build on that win and also have more to offer in the retained cheekpieces. |
4/1 |
|
1st 1 (4) |
8th Apr 2026 Good 1m 4f 13y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Maiden who returned from wind surgery to finish a respectable fifth on AW Flat and backed that up when 15l second in a 2m maiden hurdle at Southwell (soft) last month; a lesser effort in a handicap hurdle at Wetherby three weeks ago needs forgiving but he dips into a Class 6 for the first time now back on the Flat and has the ability to make his mark at this level; cheekpieces rejoin the tongue-tie. |
4/1 |
|
8th 3 |
17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Fair maiden on the Flat and he ran okay when 15l second in a maiden hurdle at Southwell (2m, soft) a fortnight ago; now goes handicapping in this code off a modest mark and he could have a part to play. |
12/1 |
