31st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Did well over 6f for Alice Haynes and coped fine with the drop back to 5f at Ascot where he was prominent throughout and prevailed by just over a length; this 6lb higher mark isn't beyond him. |

1st 10 (13) |
1st May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Well handicapped on his best form for Alice Haynes and he made an encouraging stable debut when a close third at Southwell three weeks ago; one to be interested in. |

His two wins for Alice Haynes came over 6f but he wasn't beaten far dropped to 5f when last seen in October; sold for 40,000gns soon afterwards; on a handy mark ahead of his stable debut; goes without headgear; betting should guide. |

C&D winner who reappeared with a creditable third of 17 at Ascot (5f, good to firm) 17 days ago; ran right up to his best with that bold bid and he's respected off unchanged mark; cheekpieces added. |

3rd 1 (14) |
1st May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Second of 16 in a C&D handicap last September; followed that with a good run at Haydock but he went up the weights and was well beaten at Lingfield when last seen; ran well after an absence last year but perhaps a shade high in the weights for this. |
12/1 |

4th Nov 2025 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 4 |

Dead-heated in a 6f handicap at Chelmsford last October; three solid efforts have followed and he should appreciate returning to 6f; drying ground no problem and he's high on the list. |

4th 3 (11) |
1st May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Two solid placed efforts have followed his AW win (6f; dead-heated) at Chelmsford last October; still has relatively low mileage and a promising claimer has been booked; first 5f run since his 2yo days. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 1 (6) |
9th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |

Had a tongue-tie on for the first time when dead-heating at Chelmsford (6f) in October and he ran another solid race off this mark at Southwell (6f) next time; returns from a 160-day break and he could have more to offer on the AW. |

Four-time AW winner who was having just his second crack at a turf handicap when good sixth of 17 at Ascot (5f, good to firm) three weeks ago; also switched across from a poor draw to deliver his bid so that effort can probably be upgraded a little further; forecast softer ground is an unknown but otherwise respected. |

Beaten just over 2l when an encouraging seventh of 17 at Ascot (5f, good to firm) at the start of the month; both of last year's wins came at 6f on a sound surface so has conditions to suit and he's a candidate to step forward. |

9/1 |
|
8th 11 (7) |
1st May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Narrow Newcastle win on her penultimate start; did best of the rest behind an emphatic all-the-way winner at Yarmouth three weeks ago (5f, good); this race should be more conventional and she is more appealing than many. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 2 (2) |
11th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 42y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Both her wins have come on AW, the latest when hugging the stands' rail and leading in the last stride at Newcastle (5f; blanket finish) two weeks ago, but she has run well on turf too; 2lb rise for last time shouldn't prevent another good run. |

25/1 |
|
7th 3 (4) |
30th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Had a tremendous spell for new yard between September and January, winning five at 6f (two here) or 5f; her handicap mark has taken a battering but a recent second at Southwell suggests she's not weighted out of it; Ryan Kavanagh 2-2 on her and she can be thereabouts again. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 6 (3) |
14th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 4 |

She has soared up the weights after a fine winter, including three C&D wins; hasn't had a clear shot at things on her last two starts, including behind a couple of today's rivals here three weeks ago, but she still needs a personal best to defy this mark. |

14th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |

10th 6 (5) |
1st May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Wins for Andrew Balding came on Polytrack, latterly off this mark over 1m last summer; a slow start did for him down to 5f last time and, while he doesn't always look the easiest and can lug left, he's capable if things fall his way. |

1st May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

12th 14 (9) |
1st May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Down the field in three maiden/novice runs but he proved a different proposition on his handicap debut last September (6f, AW; first run after wind surgery), landing a gamble in emphatic fashion; followed up, again easily, in a selling handicap at Thirsk one week later; came up short off his revised mark at Newcastle five weeks ago (first run for 193 days); better than that but dropping to 5f asks a new question of him. |
9/1 |

9th 14 (5) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |

Much improved sent handicapping after wind surgery, easily winning 0-65s over 6f at Lingfield (AW) and Thirsk (soft) last September; this represents a significant hike in grade but there's almost certainly more to come from this very lightly raced 4yo. |

4th 8 (6) |
14th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |

Close call in a Group 3 here in 2022 and deserves so much better than his very modest turf strike-rate, given how many fine races he continues to run in defeat, such as when going down narrowly to both Rosario and Regal Envoy on different 5f runs (good and good to firm) last May; some cold comfort that he won on AW in January but tough to support for the win. |

Not without his quirks but he has plenty of ability for one of his rating and everything clicked in a Class 6 handicap at Salisbury last June (6f, good to firm); three second placings followed and he should be sharper with last week's return to action under his belt; the start will remain a concern but he is not discounted back at 6f. |

Quirky but has plenty of ability and he comes here on the up, following his Salisbury win (6f, good to firm) with good seconds at Newbury and C&D; mark still within range but he's missed a couple of intended runs on account of soft ground and even good to soft would be a query. |

His first three starts saw him well beaten over 7f but he has not looked back since dropped to 6f, winning seven times and placed on his other three runs; could only manage second at Chelmsford five weeks ago but the horse to beat him is now rated 17lb higher and that shouldn't be used as evidence he is in the handicapper's grip; more to prove back on turf and at a new trip but few arrive in better form. |
