16th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Reappeared with a win at Doncaster (7f, good to soft) in March and got up in the final strides to follow up at Southwell (7f, AW); won over 1m last summer and versatile ground-wise; this progressive 5yo is climbing the weights only slowly and could play another leading role. |

30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Well backed at Doncaster (7f Class 4, good to soft) just over a month ago and that support was justified, as he drew clear of his 15 rivals; 4lb higher but no issues with AW and this long home straight should play to his strengths; the one to beat and he has Silvestre De Sousa in the saddle. |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
15 races for one win, at Epsom (7f, good to firm; from 9lb lower) last July; faced 7f on AW for last four starts, with career-best form in two close calls, the latest under Mikkel Mortensen at Southwell late last month but today's stronger race for return to turf surely demands better still. |
14/1 |
|
2nd 7 (1) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Sole win at Epsom (7f, good to firm; from 8lb lower) last July; fine on AW, as shown with near miss at Kempton (7f; beaten a neck) last October; sixth - faring best of the three involved in this race - in recent 7f Class 5 at Kempton; may strip fitter, with Mikkel Mortensen's 5lb claim handy. |

8th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Has run very well in his last two starts over C&D, only going down by a neck in October; not seen since, though, and may just need the run. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Three 6f wins towards the end of last year (including on good to soft/good to firm); took a step back in the right direction when third of seven at Southwell (7f, AW) last time and may be able to build on that run today; each-way possibilities. |
14/1 |
|
3rd 5 (2) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Three wins (form figures 1121432) for Charlie Clover, ending his time with that trainer with a narrow defeat here (6f) in February; high in the weights for this trainer (0-2) as a result, only ninth of 12 after an early stumble at Kempton (7f) latest. |
10/1 |
|
9th 3 (4) |
8th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Did well in seven starts for Charlie Clover after returning from six months off in October (1121432), but held on his debut for this yard here (6f) a week ago; has never attempted this far before. |

30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
6-31 on AW, four of those wins gained over C&D and the most recent a ready success from a 1lb lower mark last December; failed to settle on outer when only eighth of 12 (Jersey Maverick sixth, State of Madness ninth) at Kempton three weeks ago; others arrive in better form. |
10/1 |

8th 2 (12) |
8th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Best known for his Southwell exploits, but has run well here including a win over this trip; the outside stall is not ideal, though. |
10/1 |

5th 6 (4) |
13th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 3 |
8st 9lb |
Last four wins have been gained over C&D at Class 5 or lower, and tonight's would be the highest banded handicap he has taken in to date; drop back from 1m rates a plus, but clear career best likely required. |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Not far away in one of these big-field C&D races last July; showed at Doncaster that month that he can win on turf and he's not been far away in any of his races this year, so he has place claims. |
16/1 |
|
5th 2 (5) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Last win came on Chelmsford Polytrack (7f; from 4lb lower) last October; kept in decent form (4224243) this year, a sticking-on third at Nottingham (8.5f, good) 12 days ago to Saturday's Ripon scorer Highland Olly; Paul Mulrennan is a noted booking. |
4/1 |

3rd 2 (9) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Consistent in defeat on AW this year, reaching the frame for the sixth outing in succession when fourth of 13 at Southwell (1m) 11 days ago; turf winner last year; likely to be thereabouts. |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won three times in Ireland for Mick Mulvany, including at Listowel (1m, heavy) last September; low key in five starts for new trainer, slipping 9lb in the weights - now 1lb below that last winning mark; needs revival on AW return (3-9). |
16/1 |

12th 12 (12) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
8st 10lb |
Signed off in Ireland with Listowel win (1m, heavy) last autumn; well held at long odds in four runs (7f-1m2f) for this yard; beginning to fall in the weights but probably best watched unless strong in the market. |
25/1 |

6th 3 (6) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |

Won three on AW at Dundalk (7f-1m) for Mick Mulvany and ended his time for that County Meath handler with a heavy-ground win at Listowel (1m; 13-2) last September; low-key in three starts for Ben Haslam, last of 12 over 1m2f at Doncaster on latest start; mark is beginning to ease. |

30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
C&D winner twice in February, before only just failing to catch the winner back here in hat-trick bid; work to do with Jimmy Speaking from Doncaster (fifth), with recent Thirsk effort - last of 12 - hardly a ringing endorsement. |
5/1 |
|
12th 8 (1) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Arrives in good form, winning twice at Southwell in February and finding only another thriving rival too strong in his hat-trick bid last month; only fifth of 16 back on turf at Doncaster three weeks ago (behind It'sneverjustone); perhaps too high in the weights for now. |
8/1 |
|
5th 4 (4) |
29th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
May remain competitive provided his recent Southwell AW form is transferred back to turf; however, his record in this sphere, which includes a seller win, is less convincing; presents a dilemma. |
