27th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Two wins from five starts since joining Hayley Burton, with both the wins over 1m4f on Lingfield Polytrack (dictated the pace on penultimate start); back to turf for a lesser show on Saturday; while not dismissed due to this new trip, it is a sizeable step in the dark. |

23rd May 2026 Good 1m 4f 5y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Two wins from four starts since joining Hayley Burton, both the victories coming over 1m4f on Lingfield's AW track; should prove just as effective back on turf and he is not fully exposed just yet. |

Narrowly made a successful stable/handicap debut on his reappearance over C&D in March; twice held over shorter trips since, but interesting back here from just 2lb higher than for his win. |

31st May 2026 Good 1m 4f 8y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Having dropped down the weights he returned to form when runner-up off today's mark at Lingfield (1m4f, AW) recently on his second start for this yard; however, he's 5-22 on AW as opposed to 0-11 on Flat turf, and needs to back up that latest performance now back on grass. |

2nd 1 (1) |
12th May 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Has been a smart performer in his time (rated 18lb higher), but well below form in his last two starts including on stable debut here (1m2f) last month; tongue-tie removed after one use; look elsewhere. |
11/1 |

11th 7 (4) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Formerly a smart AW performer for Mick Appleby, but not quite the force of old; makes his debut for another new yard (same owners) in a new headgear combination after eight starts for Shark Hanlon; well treated if he could rediscover anything like his best form. |

30th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Things didn't pan out his way on first crack at 1m4f here last time (AW) and that was another in-form effort; has found his level again but wants a good test over this trip, he hasn't won in a long time and has become inconsistent on turf. |
7/1 |

3rd 2 (5) |
12th May 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Beaten half a length or less in his last three goes on the AW (7f-9.5f), but losing run up to 22 and has never attempted this far before; others safer. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 1 (5) |
27th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Has gone close recently and was only beaten half a length at Lingfield (1m, AW) 13 days ago but is without a win since landing a Group 3 for the Gosdens three years ago; looks sure to be thereabouts once again. |

12th May 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Fifth in his first two starts on the AW, but has improved since including when making a successful handicap debut at Catterick (1m4f, soft) in October; creditable fourth of 12 on his Thirsk reappearance (1m4f, good) last month (third has won since); could go well in the first-time hood. |
5/1 |

4th 4 (12) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 4f 8y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Made a winning start in handicaps at Catterick (1m4f) in October and not discredited off a 6lb higher mark given he went keenly when fourth at Nottingham (1m6f) in final run; this son of Waldgeist could have more to offer in 2026. |
8/1 |

29th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
Showed promise at about 1m2f before second favourite for handicap debut at Catterick (1m4f, soft) four weeks ago and going on 3f out to win it by nearly 2l; up 6lb but he's a lightly raced 3yo who shaped last time as if he's a strong candidate for 1m6f. |

1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
8st 10lb |
Fell in both hurdle starts, after which he was rerouted to the Flat; made a successful handicap debut at Southwell (1m3f, hooded first time) in April and two runs since have both been respectable; more needed to come out on top in this field. |
8/1 |
|
5th 7 (7) |
12th May 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Has improved since handicapping on the AW with a hood enlisted, beating a solid yardstick at Southwell (1m3f, Tapeta) last month and finishing second of nine over 1m2f here nine days later; should be suited by the return to further; respected. |
11/2 |

2nd 6 (6) |
20th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |

Fair bumper performer; hooded and much improved on his handicap debut when scoring at Southwell (1m3f) nine days ago; up 3lb but must enter calculations with the headgear retained. |

12th May 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Has won her last two starts over C&D 133 days apart; up another 3lb in her hat-trick bid and she has to be taken very seriously. |
3/1 |
|
1st 4 (6) |
20th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Well beaten over inadequate 1m on comeback last year but she came into her own when upped to 1m4f in the summer, winning back-to-back turf races; had seemed rather becalmed after but she won nicely over C&D when last seen in December; should be further openings for her off 2lb higher. |
7/2 |

21st Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 23y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Consistent since returning to turf in May including wins at Salisbury and Leicester (both 1m4f, good to firm), but does handle soft ground; ran well when second of 13 at Bath (1m2f, good to firm) three weeks ago and although further may suit her best, this should be truly run; high on list. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 198y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Highly tried after winning Lingfield maiden (AW) in April last year and he bounced back from a swing at the Derby when going close at Thirsk (also 1m4f, good) in July; that form would make him a handicap snip but it's been a real struggle since and blinkers are now reached for; only considered if the market warms to him. |
8/1 |

7th 3 (4) |
12th May 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Landed a C&D maiden just over a year ago, but his form since then has been patchy; down another 3lb, but more needed if he is to resume winning ways. |
14/1 |
|
5th 4 (3) |
27th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Sole victory came over C&D but he has failed to beat a rival on his last two runs, gelded before coming in last of 9 at Kempton (1m4f) on his return three weeks ago; hard to warm to. |
16/1 |
