15th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 15y Class 3 |
8st 8lb |
Inconsistent in his seven handicaps but he's won two of them; gelded before his successful return at Southwell (1m3f, AW) three weeks ago, when asserting by about 2l in six-runner race; 4lb higher today but probably okay on turf and has to be considered seriously. |

23rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Sole win came by a nose at Chelmsford (1m2f, AW) last August and he ran well when second of nine at Kempton (1m3f, AW) next time; possibly didn't handle the undulations of Newmarket (1m4f) in the Old Rowley Cup when last seen and has since been gelded; could be capable of bouncing back returned to the AW. |

8st 4lb |
First win came by a nose when returning to form at Chelmsford (1m2f, AW) in August on seventh start; good second of nine off this mark at Kempton (1m3f, AW) nine days ago and he's bred to get this new trip of 1m4f; acts on good to firm; needs a second look. |

15th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Can lead; chased home two good ones on his debut at Newbury last April but he hasn't built on that and become expensive to follow; did win three-runner maiden at Lingfield (1m4f) in November but his latest second of six at Southwell (1m3f, also AW) was another reversal for supporters; form chance off same mark but tempting to look elsewhere. |
7/2 |

2nd 1 (6) |
23rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Off the mark at the sixth attempt when beating two rivals in good style in a maiden at Lingfield (1m4f, AW) in November but he dropped away up the straight having taken a grip in a handicap at Kempton on his return 17 days ago; needs to build on that. |
3/1 |

6th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Well connected; didn't always do himself justice as a 3yo but he was a tough opponent for a good rival (now on a mark of 101) over 1m3f at Yarmouth last May and made a good visual impression when overwhelming two rivals on Lingfield AW in November; interesting on handicap debut. |

31st May 2026 Good 2m 0f 13y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Headgear helped on AW last September-December, including for 1m6f/2m hat-trick; peak form was not repeated this year, including in two small fields this spring but they were at 1m3f/1m4f; returning to 2m should be a big help but none of his turf form (five races) approaches this mark. |
12/1 |
|
2nd 2 (4) |
1st May 2026 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Headgear helped last autumn, with him landing a hat-trick, including two over 2m round Southwell, latterly off a 4lb lower mark; solid effort there last Thursday, back from a few months off (1m3f), but he'll want a similarly strong pace this evening. |
3/1 |
|
3rd 2 (4) |
23rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Won his last two starts for Ralph Beckett and completed the hat-trick here over 2m in November when visored for the first time on his debut for this stable; ran another good race when runner-up at Kempton (2m) next time but he was below his best 97 days ago; could bounce back on his first start since but this drop back in trip may not be ideal. |

9st 10lb |
Two wins from five starts since joining Hayley Burton, with both the wins over 1m4f on Lingfield Polytrack (dictated the pace on penultimate start); back to turf for a lesser show on Saturday; while not dismissed due to this new trip, it is a sizeable step in the dark. |

6th 2 (4) |
23rd May 2026 Good 1m 4f 5y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Two wins from four starts since joining Hayley Burton, both the victories coming over 1m4f on Lingfield's AW track; should prove just as effective back on turf and he is not fully exposed just yet. |
4/1 |

1st 5 (3) |
12th May 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Narrowly made a successful stable/handicap debut on his reappearance over C&D in March; twice held over shorter trips since, but interesting back here from just 2lb higher than for his win. |

26th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Nine-race maiden; two sound runs over 1m2f after being gelded last August (relegated after passing post in front on second occasion); disappointing at 1m4f this season, but drop to 1m not sure to suit; visor now tried. |
3/1 |
|
5th 3 (5) |
23rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
First past the post (demoted to second having caused interference) in a handicap at Beverley last August but he failed to beat a rival at Meydan (1m4f, good) 41 days ago; dropping back in trip should suit and he may bounce back on his return to Britain. |
3/1 |

30th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Well beaten on handicap debut in June but, having been gelded, showed improved form when second of seven at Sandown (again 1m2f on good) eight weeks later; travelled best in the latter and needs to see the race out a bit better if he's to make this his first win. |

9th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 212y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
1m2f AW maiden winner last August on her final start for Peter Chapple-Hyam but always behind in 1m3f Southwell handicap on her recent return for Ian Williams; can only be watched after that. |
33/1 |
|
6th 4 (1) |
23rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Finished third of five at Brighton (1m2f, good to firm) on her handicap debut last April, form that has been well franked by the winner, and got off the mark at the fifth attempt when landing a maiden at Chelmsford (1m2f, AW) on her final start for Peter Chapple-Hyam; has since changed yards (same owner) having been off since and could have more to offer. |
3/1 |
|
1st 6 (3) |
14th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Went close in a Kempton novice (1m, Polytrack) last November and she found improvement when runner-up at Newbury (1m2f, good) on her return in April; finished third of five on handicap debut at Brighton but that form has been boosted by the first two since and she's respected back in a maiden. |
