1st 7 (3) |
30th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 196y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Three months off before returning to Flat with a win at Ascot (2m, good; 12 ran) three weeks ago, always prominent as 11-8 favourite; up 4lb and lacks any experience of this track but a huge player if he takes to it. |

1st 8 (13) |
8th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 209y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Placed in all four staying handicaps (includes 2m win) for Jessica Macey in 2024; three hurdle wins since joining this yard and a good effort on the Flat when second at Kempton (2m, AW) in April 2025; respected on his return to this sphere. |

3rd 6 |
7th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 5f 5y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Failed to fire at Kempton last time (2m5f, good) but seemed suited by the step up to 2m4f (soft) the run before when the front two pulled clear; 3-6 as a hurdler and won't mind getting back on a slower surface; considered. |

1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Has done well since switched to Flat turf for his last two starts with the visor added, winning at Beverley (1m4f, good to firm) in April before second of 12 in an apprentice handicap at Ascot (2m, good) last month (winner followed up at Chester on Saturday); up just another 1lb and high on the list. |
11/4 |

2nd 5 (3) |
8th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 209y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Beaten a nose, a head and a neck in three bumpers; earned his mark over 1m and predictably did better upped in trip when scoring at Kempton (1m3f, AW; first-time cheekpieces) in March; rebounded from a blip next time when going in again at Beverley (1m4f, good to firm; first-time visor) a fortnight ago; dam half-sister to St Leger winner Brian Boru and this new trip could unlock more again; key player. |
3/1 |

1st 2 (6) |
23rd Apr 2026 Good 1m 4f 23y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Has worn cheekpieces since switched to handicaps, winning at Kempton (1m3f) then below par at Lingfield, both on AW; may rebound and have more to offer, provided he responds well to the fitting of visor. |

1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
1-20, but no doubting his consistency and was only just behind Naval Tribute when third of 12 in an apprentice handicap at Ascot (2m, good) last month; has had more chances than his old rival, but should again go well from the same mark. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 9 (2) |
8th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 209y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Sole success came when evens for a Bath novice (1m2f, good to soft) as 2yo; respectable efforts across five starts at 1m6f and 2m in 2025 and he went mighty close at Wolverhampton (1m6f, AW) in March after which he had a run over hurdles; strike-rate isn't a positive but he has the ability to figure. |
7/1 |
|
4th 4 |
18th Mar 2026 Good 1m 7f 171y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Just 1-18 on Flat, with mostly fair form though and he was pipped over 1m6f just 15 days ago on latest start; just as good on turf as AW; sire Golden Horn has done well with plenty of jumpers; needs a close look on hurdle debut. |

9st 3lb |
His six wins include two over C&D; no match for No More Bolero when second here (2m1f, good to firm) in April, although he is 5lb better off with that rival; fourth of 12 at Ascot (2m, good) four weeks ago and holds place claims. |
9/4 |

4th 13 (9) |
8th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 209y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Scored for the sixth time when making all at Newbury (13.5f, good to firm) off 1lb lower in July and gave it a fair go from the front when second at Bath (2m1f, good to firm; Educator third) three weeks ago; same mark and should make his presence felt. |
16/1 |
|
2nd 5 (1) |
17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 2m 1f 24y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Often a front-runner but he's a tactically versatile; six wins on turf (1m4f-1m6f) but he's not easy to predict and has been quiet on AW this winter; now only 1lb higher than for his last success but he still has stamina to prove at this trip and others are preferred. |

9st 4lb |
All five wins at 2m, including three on soft going, latterly at Catterick in October; went back-to-back at Newcastle (AW) at the start of the year and fourth at Ripon (2m, good) on latest outing was close to his best; same mark, so needs to find extra, but he can't be ruled out. |

25th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Out-and-out stayer who won twice at Newcastle (2m, Tapeta) at the start of the year but the handicapper has been winning the argument since; it remains to be seen whether a return to turf makes any difference in that regard. |

3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |

Out-and-out stayer who won twice at Newcastle (2m, Tapeta) at the start of the year, but he looks high enough in the weights now and makes a belated Polytrack debut. |

Can set the pace; twice runner-up at Wolverhampton (1m6f/16.5f) during the winter and a good third of 14 in competitive event at Lingfield (2m, also AW; Tarbat Ness sixth) on Good Friday; turf no problem and he should give a good account. |
8/1 |

3rd 11 (14) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Often a front-runner; 1lb lower than when twice runner-up at Wolverhampton (1m6f/16.5f) during the winter and didn't enjoy much luck when behind a couple of these there last month, but the outside stall won't make things easy. |
9/1 |

6th 4 (2) |
3rd Mar 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Front-runner who was well beaten over hurdles last time but had previously twice finished runner-up here (1m6f/16.5f); may be happier back in this sphere, but likely to face competition for the lead. |

15th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Won twice over about 1m4f (AW/good to firm) last spring and he's thrown in judged on that form; twice close up on AW in January and a respectable third at Bath (2m) in April, before Ascot 2m race last week proved too tough; there's a rethink on trip today and cheekpieces (last used in June 2024) return. |
20/1 |

7th 10 (6) |
8th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 209y Class 4 |

Three wins on turf (good/good to firm) at up to 11.5f; also went fairly close at this trip on AW in January; respectable third at Bath (2m1f, good to firm; Lusaka second) on return from two-month break last time; might build on that. |
8/1 |

3rd 2 (3) |
17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 2m 1f 24y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Triple turf winner who finished well to go close off this mark at Kempton (2m, AW) in January; flopped with a heavy defeat at Newcastle the following month but that was a Class 3 and has claims if he can bounce back after a short break; has form on good to firm and good to soft. |

9st 12lb |
In decent form when last seen on the Flat for Michael Bell but has been hurdling since December 2024 for this yard; did well as a juvenile in that sphere but last season didn't go well; mark fine if this return to the Flat perks him up. |

8th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 29y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Well handicapped on some of last season's form but looked unenthusiastic when never-dangerous fourth at Plumpton (2m4f, good to soft) last month and has become disappointing; needs change of headgear to perk him up. |

9th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 116y Class 4 |

9st 13lb |
Unplaced both turf starts and both 2m races; inconsistent on AW but took advantage of career-low mark to score by a neck over 1m6f in January on final start for the Crisfords; sported first-time blinkers that day and sold for 31,000gns the following month; cheekpieces are today's headgear and he has something to prove back on turf at 2m. |

1st 5 (3) |
30th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 4 |

18th Oct 2025 Good 1m 4f 13y Class 4 |

Didn't live up to market expectations at Haydock (1m4f, good) on debut in June but he's since stuck to his task well when placed over 1m3f and 1m4f on Southwell AW; handicap newcomer who should have more to offer. |

Good comeback over 1m2f when third of 15 at Doncaster (good to soft) in March and made it win number six when going in at Leicester (1m4f, good) next time; never threatened over 2m at Ascot last Friday but not ruled out back down in trip. |

All starts on AW; sole start at 2m resulted in short-priced flop at Chelmsford in November; won at that track (1m6f) next time but he let favourite backers down again when beating one home over that trip at Wolverhampton in March; 1m4f caught him out last time but others look safer. |

17th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 3 |
8st 5lb |
Has done best on AW, including three wins at Wolverhampton (1m6f/2m) in the last six months; well held at Lingfield two weeks ago but has a modest record there; has won twice on turf, latterly on good ground at Bath (1m6f) last June but none of his turf form matches today's mark. |

8th 4 (12) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Something of a Wolverhampton specialist (3-5) though he has won on Polytrack at Kempton; the drop to 1m4f didn't help last time so the return to a longer distance should help, but his high draw may not be ideal even over this trip. |
