27th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Two wins (one for this jockey) and a second since asked to go beyond an extended 1m; has form at shorter but wide draw could put him on the back foot early; one of three runners for John Butler. |
7/1 |

1st 6 (4) |
28th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Off the mark at the 16th attempt when overcoming adversity to win a C&D handicap in February; similar form when second at Kempton last month and subsequent turf flop easy enough to forgive (yet to show anything on grass); better expected back on AW and with Billy Loughnane booked. |

12th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 37y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
11-race maiden who returned to form with a near-miss over 1m2f on the AW 14 days ago, despite being slow to break; first-time headgear might do something for him; effective on grass. |
5/2 |
|
2nd 3 (8) |
28th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Ten-race maiden and out of sorts so far this year; had little chance the way the race panned out in a 1m handicap here two weeks ago but he was keeping on well at the finish, boding well for today's return to 1m2f; drops in class too and he's of interest. |
4/1 |
|
8th 11 (12) |
14th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Three poor efforts this year and the handicapper's proving slow to relent; this the shortest trip he's tackled, round an easy course (no problem with 1m4f last year), and he isn't obviously fancied from yet another wide stall. |

1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Three wins for Adam West including one on the AW in France; encouraging return/stable debut at Lingfield (1m2f, AW) in April but didn't build on it at Newbury (1m, good) last month; others preferred. |
8/1 |

Three wins (8.5f/9.5f) for Adam West; ran encouragingly (close third) in 1m2f AW contest at Lingfield on stable/seasonal debut and has possibilities provided he builds on that effort. |

22nd May 2026 Soft 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Unraced on softer than good; struggled badly in her four handicaps last season but reappeared with a closer finish when fourth of ten at Lingfield (1m2f, AW; 16-1) late last month; needs to build on that. |
7/1 |
|
4th 7 (6) |
28th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Recorded RPRs of 70 (twice) and 75 in her three novice/maiden runs last season; struggled badly in four handicap runs thereafter, dropping 9lb in the process; may bounce back at some point but she is risky back from a 202-day break. |
20/1 |

6 (8) |
8th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Showed good form in her first three starts at the beginning of the year, including twice over C&D, but hasn't maintained it in three handicaps; down another 3lb, but needs the return here to galvanise her. |

29th May 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
In good form on the AW at Lingfield this year until a below-par sixth on turf in 1m2f Windsor handicap 18 days ago; this course winner can bounce back here. |
14/1 |
|
6th 5 (7) |
11th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Good start for Adam Kirby when a close third (of 12) in a 1m2f AW handicap at Lingfield in March (for today's rider); not so good back at Lingfield 13 days ago but returning to turf should be in his favour. |
6/1 |
|
5th 4 (1) |
28th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Just 1-28 on AW but he went desperately close to doubling that tally in an amateur rider's race over C&D last month, only headed in the dying strides (first run for Adam Kirby); 2lb higher today; one to consider with new headgear tried. |

27th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Back-to-back seconds over C&D and shaped as if still in form when sixth to Joseph over 2f further at Lingfield last time; not out of this; trainer/owner also represented by Forca Timao. |
12/1 |
|
6th 2 (7) |
28th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Had wind surgery in December and he has run three good races since, finishing fourth over C&D before two runner-up efforts at Kempton (1m); should remain competitive. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 4 (6) |
1st Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Two good runs have followed a wind operation in December, notably when headed in the final stride over C&D five weeks ago; 2lb higher today but still feasibly weighted. |

1st Jun 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Has won four of 12 races on the AW, three over C&D, and the latest at Southwell last October (1m3f) off this mark; should come on for her latest run in April when back from a break; can go well. |
6/1 |

28th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |

4-11 on AW and only 1lb higher than for last October's front-running win at Southwell (1m3f); lower draw would have been ideal but she has the ability to feature. |

28th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
19-race maiden; ran some good races in defeat for this yard last year, including when last seen in October (1m2f, good to soft); withdrawn at the start having got upset in the stalls ahead of this month's intended return (10-1 at the time of withdrawal); others preferred for win purposes. |

18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Might have been a shade unlucky when close second over 1m here last August and he was a respectable third over 1m2f at Redcar (good to soft) when last seen in the autumn; should be competitive if ready to roll after 196 days off |
16/1 |

3rd 6 (4) |
4th Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Might have been a shade unlucky when close second at Nottingham (8.3f, good) in August and is now 2lb below that mark, but was unable to land a telling blow on next two starts (1m/9.4f) and must up his game on this first attempt at 1m2f. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Fairly useful four-time AW Flat winner for Charlie Johnston but 0-17 on turf for that yard; ran poorly at Lingfield (AW) 16 days ago and changed hands for 1,000gns since; best watched on hurdles debut. |
33/1 |

28th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |

Four AW wins, including C&D, and returns from a six-month break on a manageable mark; more good runs than bad at this track and he's not discounted. |
