3rd 2 (2) |
21st May 2026 Good 1m 4f 104y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Having a fine year, winning for the fourth time when scoring at Ripon 13 days ago (1m2f, good); still feasibly weighted but previous 1m4f efforts haven't seen her convince with her stamina. |
5/2 |
|
1st 7 (6) |
8th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Three wins on AW at Newcastle (1m2f) since January including a cosy success last Friday; this is tougher under a penalty but she's still lightly raced on turf and was third in a big field at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) on her penultimate run; shortlisted. |
4/1 |
|
1st 11 (8) |
1st May 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
Two C&D wins already this year, latterly off 4lb lower, and continues in form, the drop to 1m working against her when she came home nicely at Doncaster five weeks ago; goes on the shortlist. |

1st May 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Two wins and a second from three runs on Tapeta, the second coming when clear with a progressive winner over C&D last August; turned over twice as favourite on turf this spring but holds decent claims once more. |
3/1 |
|
5th 9 (14) |
12th Apr 2026 Good 1m 4f 104y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Last five races in 2025 (1m2f/1m4f) saw him first past the post three times and second twice; on final start he finished well on top at Doncaster (1m2f) but was disqualified for a banned substance; only 2lb higher today and made a respectable return to action at Doncaster two weeks ago; return to 1m4f should be okay and he's one for the shortlist. |
5/1 |

3rd 13 (12) |
29th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 3 |
8st 4lb |
Last five races in 2025 saw him first past the post three times and second twice; on final start he finished well on top over C&D (good to soft) but was disqualified for a banned substance; only 2lb higher today (from 2lb out of the handicap) and makes plenty of appeal if returning in a similar vein for this first start since September. |

1st May 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Stays a deal further but has always liked it here and has run well a couple of times over C&D this year; a good pace would help but finished behind Say What You See on turf last time and others hold stronger claims. |
12/1 |
|
7th 12 (1) |
12th Apr 2026 Good 1m 4f 104y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Absent 348 days before last September but usually competitive since regaining his fitness and went down by a head last month on latest outing; tenth in this race in 2024 on his only appearance at Musselburgh but he's firmly in the mix on other counts. |
11/1 |
|
2nd 2 (4) |
5th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Dual course winner (1m4/2m) who is just 1lb higher than when successful at Redcar (1m6f, good) in December, but his last two efforts over C&D suggest he needs a return to further. |

29th May 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Blinkered when ending a lengthy losing sequence in good style at Yarmouth nine days ago, drawing clear last 1f; up 6lb but another bold showing is on the cards with headgear retained and good amateur Henry Callan up. |
7/2 |
|
1st 7 (7) |
20th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 23y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
On a losing run and can get it wrong at the start; well handicapped on 2025 best, however, and he stayed on for fourth at Newcastle 19 days ago; conditions shouldn't be an issue and he commands respect with new blinkers now replacing cheekpieces. |
8/1 |
|
4th 12 (9) |
1st May 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
Not as good now and prone to the occasional off-day; still to win over C&D but his record suggests he needs considering off this mark, especially given his two previous runs in cheekpieces both resulted in near-misses. |

1st May 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Quite late in the day to be going beyond an extended 1m for the first time; often makes the running and can race freely, so will need to settle early from a wide stall back from ten weeks off; not in much form when last seen either way. |
16/1 |
|
6th 1 (9) |
18th Feb 2026 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Front-runner; two of his three wins have come over C&D and he is now 1lb lower than for the latest of them; not at best in two runs here this winter but this represents a drop in class. |
8/1 |

7th 4 (4) |
21st Jan 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

18th May 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Three wins for Ed Dunlop; sold for 5,000gns last October; denied a run on several occasions on her stable debut at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) 17 days ago; will be suited by the step back up in trip and not out of this. |
6/1 |
|
6th 5 (4) |
1st May 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |

Patchy during a limited campaign last year for Ed Dunlop; wins as a 3yo came on soft turf and this trip looks a bare minimum for her new yard on comeback. |
16/1 |

3rd 6 (7) |
6th Sep 2025 Good 1m 4f 8y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Two wins (1m4f/11.6f) on slow ground last year and latest was off 1lb lower; returned to form when runner-up at Ripon (1m4f, good to soft) in May but she's hard to predict and failed to beat a rival at Carlisle in June; comes with risks attached after a break and this is competitive. |

4th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Debut winner who hasn't offered a great deal in four handicaps over longer distances, latterly in cheekpieces (reapplied) and blinkers; bit risky. |
8/1 |
|
7th 3 (11) |
1st May 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |

Won a 7f maiden on this card last year on his racecourse debut; struggled subsequently but this is a bit easier down another 3lb in first-time blinkers (wore cheekpieces when last seen); yard also run Jack Sparowe. |

13th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 4 |

9st 7lb |
Got off the mark when winning at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) in March and followed up at Doncaster (1m2f, good to soft) on his next start; however, he's been well held on his last three starts and remains 3lb higher than for his latest success. |

1st May 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |

Not seen it out over 1m4f a couple of times since two wins in March, one over C&D; it might just be that his current mark is beyond him but there won't be any excuses tonight. |
6/1 |
|
4th 1 (5) |
20th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Came good with 1m2f wins at Newcastle and Doncaster last month but he didn't fire when upped to 1m4f in his hat-trick bid at Lingfield last time; had a wide trip in that race but he needs to kick on again to make a big impact back on Tapeta. |

Wins for David O'Meara both came over C&D, including a division of this race two years ago; not beaten far at 100-1 here two months ago but looked flattered in a messy affair and he's generally struggled for this yard. |
16/1 |

10th 8 |
31st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 190y Class 5 |

While not the force of old, his close fourth on the Flat this month showed that he's still capable of fair form in that sphere; went the wrong way in his four-race hurdle career last February-May but needs a second look. |
14/1 |
|
4th 6 (2) |
5th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |

Returned to form when third here (1m3f, good) last month on second run of the season; also effective on soft ground; could play a leading role if seeing out this longer trip, and there can be optimism on that score. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 9 (9) |
17th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 15y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Can get a bit worked up and not that consistent but he still won last summer at Ayr (1m2f) and Carlisle (1m1f) and ran creditably over 1m4f on final outing; no show at 33-1 for recent reappearance when a hood was enlisted, which it isn't today; competitive if this is one of his good days. |
20/1 |

10th 10 (2) |
1st May 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |

Buzzy gelding who won twice on turf last year; only run once before on the AW but this mark should be within range if he keeps calm in a first-time hood back from six months off. |

9st 4lb |
Well beaten last month on her two runs this year (1m2f/1m1f) and arrives with something to prove, but she's 4lb lower than when winning at Haydock (11.6f, good) last July and the step up in trip may be a positive; stable has won the last two runnings of this race with Two Auld Pals; not written off. |
12/1 |

9th 10 (2) |
20th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 20y Class 4 |
8st 9lb |
Three-time Newcastle winner who made the breakthrough on turf at Haydock (1m3f, good) last July; acquitted herself respectably in Class 2 contests at York (fifth) and Doncaster (seventh) last autumn, but her form has tapered off; fast easing handicap mark. |

1st May 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |

Progressive for cheekpieces going on early last year, with three course wins, latterly off a 4lb lower mark; again goes without the headgear back from six months off and there's nothing to suggest she's best caught fresh. |

Excuses when last seen but was otherwise expensive to follow for Roger Varian before picked up for 25,000gns in December; ran well first time out as a 2yo on Tapeta, though, and this mark should be within range if ready to go after six months off. |

Ran as well as she was entitled to in a Carlisle 1m3f maiden (soft) last month and had previously lost out only late to Sibling Rivelry at Goodwood (1m4f, good); has a weights pull with the latter and solid to go well. |

Showed much-improved form when second of six on her handicap debut at Goodwood (1m4f, good) 18 days ago, looking the likely winner until collared close home; she has the best form on show here and will take plenty of beating. |
