2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 197y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Inconsistent ex-Irish gelding who's never run on ground faster than good; didn't take to hurdles in one try last autumn but solid comeback off this mark three weeks ago and this does seem to be his time of year; no surprise to see him take this. |

3rd 6 (10) |
12th Apr 2026 Good 1m 4f 104y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Beaten a nose at Goodwood (1m6f, good; 2lb lower today) last May but that's far and away the best of his six runs for James Owen, who won this race in 2024 and 2025; beaten 24l when evens for hurdling debut in October when last seen; needs a major revival. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Failed to crack it in 2025 handicaps but reappeared to win off a reduced mark in nine-runner race at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm) this April; backed that up when second at Doncaster (1m4f, good to firm) and this is easier than the York Dante meeting handicap he contested last time. |

9th 8 (12) |
13th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Failed to crack it in 2025 handicaps but reappeared to win off a reduced mark in nine-runner race at Redcar (1m2f) this April; second of six when 10-11 at Doncaster (1m4f, again good to firm) 12 days later, which was just as good on form; each-way contender but a bit extra is needed if he's to take this. |

2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 197y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Took advantage of a drop in class and a career-low mark when making it 2-3 at Redcar on his recent comeback; tonight's extra distance and similarly long home straight won't hurt and he holds obvious claims off 4lb higher. |

20th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 6f 17y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Losing run stretches back to July 2023 but he ended 2025 in good form and his reappearance at Doncaster (1m4f, good to firm) 18 days ago was a positive one; stepping back up in distance is a positive but he could do with the ground drying out. |

3rd 4 (2) |
2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 197y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Serial winner in his younger days but been dry in almost three years; does have a comeback spring victory to his name but all other wins came in the second half of the year and he may need this at his age back from five months off. |

29th May 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |

On a losing run and he beat only one in 11.5f Lingfield handicap ten days ago; not ruled out though if back on his A-game. |

7th 2 (4) |
19th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 133y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Five wins from 43 starts, the most recent at Southwell (1m6f, AW) last January off a mark 10lb higher than today's; bounced back from a disappointing run when fourth of six at Doncaster (1m4f, good to firm) 17 days ago and has place claims. |

31st May 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
A dual winner (1m4f/2m1f) in 2025; off seven months before beating one in 1m4f handicap at Doncaster 29 days ago but should strip sharper here. |
12/1 |

5th 5 (1) |
2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 197y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
Two wins last summer came at a lesser level, latterly over 2m1f off 3lb lower, and he wants a good test at this trip; doesn't boast the greatest reappearance record down the years and, like stablemate Saratoga Gold, may need this after seven months off. |
12/1 |

17 (8) |
11th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 56y Class 4 |
8st 5lb |
8yo who won two in a row earlier in the year (1m4f/2m1f, good to firm) before keeping on for second at Newbury (1m5f, good to firm) in July; not quite at his best when last of five at Southwell a fortnight ago (1m6f, AW) following a break but beaten only about 3l and he could build on that run today. |

2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 197y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
Inconsistent hurdler who's been off for five months since a poor effort here in the winter; nothing to suggest he's best caught fresh and it's tough to find any positives. |

5th Sep 2025 Good 2m 0f 145y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Dual Dundalk winner when based in Ireland; 0-8 over hurdles, once finishing runner-up in a 2m handicap off 3lb higher; only midfield on the Flat last time; others are more convincing. |
16/1 |
|
5th 14 (10) |
5th Aug 2025 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
Both wins were AW Flat early in 2024 over 1m4f in Ireland; downhill in Britain that spring, with pieces of modest hurdles form since; others are more enticing. |
