28th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Four wins divided between AW and turf; ideally positioned through the race when narrowly scoring at Kempton (7f) but this consistent 4yo has clear claims. |
7/2 |

1st 1 (5) |
30th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won on stable debut at Lingfield (7f, Polytrack) in December and back near that level when 1l fourth there (7f) ten days ago; also effective over this C&D and could have a big part to play under regular rider Harry Vigors. |

C&D winner on his stable debut in January; unable to build on that effort in three runs in January; others are preferred for win purposes. |

2nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Back in good form since having wind surgery and returned to turf from AW, winning comfortably over C&D (good) then creditable second under a penalty at Yarmouth (7f); back on career-high mark but still looks shortlist material returned to this scenario. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 4 (5) |
28th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Back from a wind operation when winning comfortably last week at Pontefract (6f, good); carries a penalty but should be hard to beat if as good again, as returning to 7f won't hinder her at all. |
11/10 |

1st 10 (4) |
21st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
A fair 6f scorer in the first half of 2025; made an encouraging return from seven months off on the AW this winter until only fifth of seven at Southwell (6f; tongue tied) last month; has since undergone breathing surgery and no surprise to see her bounce back. |

20th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Two C&D wins (good and good to soft) last year and he comes here just 2lb higher than for the latter success; promising reappearance last month but he failed to fire on soft ground here last week; type to bounce back. |
8/1 |
|
5th 8 (7) |
13th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Both of his wins from 16 starts have been over C&D (good/good to soft), the most recent in September off 2lb lower; ran a solid race here 15 days ago on his return from a break and he once again has each-way claims. |
7/1 |

3rd 2 (6) |
28th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Had 15 races; second career win when prevailing narrowly over C&D in September and following efforts weren't too shoddy; still on a competitive mark but he does lack a recent run. |

28th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Has won only once since making his British debut in October 2023; has threatened plenty of times but has been very poor in last two races. |
14/1 |
|
12th 2 (11) |
8th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
He's won just once since making his British debut in October 2023; however, that came this January (7f, AW) and a slow start proved costly when back at 6f at Southwell last Thursday; effective on turf and might not be far away now back up in trip. |
12/1 |
|
8th 9 (5) |
2nd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
1m win in January and back to his recent best when a close third at Lingfield last week; runs off the same mark today but he would be more appealing over an extra furlong. |

28th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Strike-rate of 6-16 so he knows how to win and only 3lb higher than for his half-length reappearance success at Kempton (7f, AW); every chance. |
3/1 |
|
1st 1 (3) |
25th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won four on turf last spring/summer (7f-1m), climbing the weights by more than a stone, before losing his way latterly; resumes 4lb above his highest successful mark, back from seven months off, but this is easier back on the AW (won his nursery here). |
6/1 |
|
9th 10 (5) |
28th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Had initial form figures of 11211 (including C&D win) since his return in April but he's gone off the boil on last two starts; handicapper may have finally got him for now. |

28th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
First and second in two 7f novices at Lingfield the winter before last, but having been off for a year, he's trailed home last in 1m/7f handicaps (tried a hood and blinkers last time); makes turf debut with lots to prove. |
40/1 |
|
12th 7 (6) |
8th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
First and second in two 7f novices at Lingfield the winter before last, but having been off for a year he failed to beat a rival on handicap debut there (1m; 40-1) in February; has something to prove. |
25/1 |
|
10th 7 (1) |
12th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
First and second in two 7f novices here last winter; up a furlong for his handicap debut after a year off, but still something of an unknown quantity; market may be helpful. |
