9th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Two wins for Ed Walker last season and positives can be drawn from the fact that one was on his seasonal return and the other was over C&D (good ground); returns from a six-month break on a manageable mark and a promising claimer is booked; contender. |
7/2 |

25th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Successful on soft ground in Ireland; has notched two handicap wins since joining Ed Walker (including under today's rider Oisin Murphy) but he needs to bounce back from a below-par run at Goodwood last time; same trainer/jockey won this last year. |
11/1 |

24th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |

Seems versatile as regards surface; won a shade comfortably at Haydock (7f) most recently, taking form figures for current stable to 1921; may be capable of further progress, with return to 1m no issue; big player. |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
0-17 since winning in June 2023 on his second start and he was below par at Newmarket (7f, good) three weeks ago; however, prior to that he was runner-up on his first two starts for this yard (7f, good) and has an each-way shout if he's back on song; has shown promise on good to soft ground. |
40/1 |

9th 13 (3) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
8st 12lb |
0-16 since winning in June 2023 on his second start but short-headed at Thirsk (7f, good) last month on his stable and seasonal debut and posted another good second at Haydock (7f, good) last Saturday; he's on the shortlist. |
7/1 |

2nd 4 (7) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Didn't progress for Richard Hannon but, having dropped in the weights, he went desperately close to making a winning debut for Tim Easterby three weeks ago, staying on strongly at Thirsk (7f, good); 1lb higher today but he attained a BHA rating of 106 in his pomp; contender. |

Down the field on his reappearance at Thirsk three weeks ago but last summer's form brings him right into the reckoning and he could take a step forward today. |
14/1 |
|
10th 5 (10) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Prominent racer who enjoyed a purple patch last September, winning back-to-back Carlisle handicaps and coming up just shy in his hat-trick bid at Beverley; returns from 170 days off on a tough enough mark and others make more appeal. |
16/1 |
|
9th 9 (10) |
30th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
In fine form on turf lately including two wins at Carlisle (7f) last month, while his latest near miss at Beverley (7f, soft) was an even better effort; has winning form on Polytrack, but has failed to beat a rival in two goes on Tapeta (at Newcastle). |

9th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 4 |

Did well for Harriet Bethell last season and his two runs this year have been encouraging, second of 13 to an unexposed one at Thirsk three weeks ago; mark left unchanged; big player. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 10 (12) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
The winner of four of his eight starts last year (6f, good or slower); perhaps needed the run on his return to action at Newcastle last month, running respectably in the smaller stands' side group; the more rain to fall the better for him. |
7/1 |
|
6th 8 (11) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Landed a fourth success of a productive first season with Harriet Bethell when comfortably seeing off 12 rivals at Pontefract in October; all those wins came at 6f but he was also second over 7f at Chelmsford last summer; no surprise were he to improve again this year. |

Multiple 7f-8.5f winner who fared better than seemed likely when dropped to 6f at Redcar (good to firm; half-length second) last week; fighting chance off same mark. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 8 (4) |
25th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
His fine 2025 season was always going to be a tough act to follow and he has generally struggled since his return to action in December; should be well treated but drops to 6f for the first time in his career. |

9th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 4 |

C&D winner; back from five months off with respectable sixth of ten in 7f Haydock handicap three weeks ago; can build on it from an easing mark. |

9th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 4 |

5th 7 (4) |
18th Nov 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Has dropped to a handy mark, but modest in three starts since a promising return from nine months off in June, including when last of 12 on AW debut at Kempton (7f, Polytrack) in September; has since had a third wind operation; enough to prove. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Winless since August 2024 but he's hinted at promise of late, set plenty to do (also slipped on bend) when seventh of 12 in 7f Thirsk handicap two weeks ago; needs considering off a falling mark. |
9/1 |
|
7th 10 (8) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
Hasn't won for nearly two years but he's well handicapped now and he shaped much better than the result suggests when seventh of ten at Haydock (7f, good; badly hampered over 1f out) last Saturday; should go close if getting the rub of the green this time. |
10/1 |
|
7th 6 (2) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
He should be winning races off this mark and his down-the-field effort at Doncaster six weeks ago isn't the race to judge him on; better can be expected back up at 7f. |

21st May 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 3 |

Not an easy horse to win with but he had a solid AW campaign and is on a feasible mark; below par back on turf 12 days ago and needs to bounce back quickly. |

8th 5 (1) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 4 |

He has turned in a string of good runs on the AW since November but such consistency ensures he gets little respite from the handicapper; others may prove better treated today. |

4th 5 (2) |
13th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 3 |

Ultra-consistent RPRs this winter, and just a short-head away at Wolverhampton latest from adding a belated second win on synthetics and first on Tapeta (7f); 4lb better off with Legal Reform for a 1.5l defeat over the same C&D on Boxing Day, and possibilities off an unchanged mark. |

Ayr Bronze Cup winner in 2024 who also posted some good efforts without winning in 2025; beat one on his return in 7f Haydock handicap after nine months off but he should strip sharper now. |
10/1 |
|
9th 2 (6) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 4 |

Won the 2024 Ayr Bronze Cup in fine style (6f, good); 0-5 in 2025 but looked to retain all his ability; conditions won't be an issue and he has run well first time out in each of his seasons of racing; chance. |

7th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Lightly raced 4yo who won the Ayr Bronze Cup last September and has run well in defeat on all four starts this season, most recently third of 13 at York (7f, good to firm); there's every chance he'll be in the mix. |
