29th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
This year's hurdling form is uninspiring but he held on gamely to cause 66-1 shock at Salisbury a fortnight ago, his first Flat run since 2024; it's hard to tell whether he'll be in the same mood again here but he's only 2lb higher and this is a slight drop in grade. |

1st 5 (2) |
14th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 5y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Sole win from 32 starts came over hurdles at Exeter (2m7f, good to firm) in October but he's been held in three starts since and now returns to the Flat for the first time since June 2024. |

17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 2m 7f 25y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Broke his duck over hurdles at the 15th attempt over C&D (good to firm) last October (held up); well below that level next time, when dropped back in trip (heavy) and beaten almost 9l at Wincanton by Square Du Roule latest (3m, good); more needed but not written off. |

2nd 2 (3) |
14th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 5y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
His two wins last year include one here over 1m6f in October and he was runner-up off 2lb higher than today's mark at Kempton (2m, AW) next time; respectable fifth at Goodwood 13 days ago but he isn't certain to be suited by this drop back in trip. |

5th 10 (6) |
1st May 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Four wins divided between turf and the AW; capable on his day and this trip on this ground is fine, but he's always had two ways of running; well below his best on last two outings. |
10/1 |

8th 1 (8) |
6th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Dual Lingfield winner who's always had two ways of running; done all his winning after a recent start, which is a concern back from four months off, and he's on a career-high mark after a couple of turf victories last autumn. |

14th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 5y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Hinted at ability in five starts last year but she didn't help her chance by hanging right at Southwell (1m4f, AW) on her reappearance 16 days ago; up in grade. |
8/1 |
|
9th 1 (7) |
28th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Hinted at ability in five starts on turf/Polytrack last year without progressing; drops in grade on her return from 197 days off, but may be best watched unless attracting support. |
12/1 |
|
7 (10) |
13th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Daughter of Sea The Moon who has shown fair form in her four runs to date, not discredited on her turf/handicap debut when fifth at Yarmouth (11.5f) 26 days ago; she may still do better back on the AW so needs considering. |

31st May 2026 Good 2m 4f 1y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Consistent on the Flat/over hurdles this year, and deserved last month's narrow win at Plumpton (2m, good; only time he wore a visor); can remain very competitive after 3lb rise. |
7/4 |
|
4th 1 (4) |
14th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 5y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Doubled his tally over hurdles when winning in a first-time visor at Plumpton last month but he was below his best back on the Flat at Goodwood (1m6f, good) 13 days ago; drops back down in grade with a place chance. |
9/4 |

6th 7 (2) |
1st May 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Running well on the AW in just a tongue-tie and has continued the good work over hurdles, finishing second (cheekpieces added) before a win 12 days ago (first-time visor); should have a part to play here. |

27th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Has struggled over hurdles since rejoining this stable but his penultimate Flat run was encouraging and this is his first time in a seller. |
12/1 |
|
5th 3 (6) |
14th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 5y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
He's struggled over hurdles since rejoining this stable but he ran a respectable race at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) 10 days ago; needs to build on that effort now stepping back up in trip and he's without a win on the Flat since 2022. |
5/1 |
|
4th 2 (7) |
4th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
8yo who has struggled back over hurdles since rejoining Fergal O'Brien in the autumn; his sole Flat win came at this track (11.4f, good to firm) but that was in 2022 and he has something to prove back in this sphere; hood reapplied. |

14th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 5y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
His three wins were all on the Flat in 2024, including here on heavy ground over 1m2f; failed to build on his comeback run when well beaten over hurdles at Kempton 52 days ago and the hood returns on this switch back to the Flat; makes some appeal from a good mark. |
