21st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
7-43; took full advantage of an easing mark to gain his third Salisbury win when making all (6f apprentices', good) last week; escapes a penalty, and Jake Dickson is able to claim his 7lb allowance, so his chance is an obvious one; clearly the one to beat if in the same kind of form. |

1st 8 (1) |
14th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Dual C&D winner last year (including this race), the most recent coming off a 2lb higher mark than today's; fair third at Kempton (7f) on his return and ran a solid race when fourth at Bath 27 days ago; claims back at this track (form figures here read 3114). |

8st 13lb |
Five of his six wins (5f/6f) have been on turf but he returned after five months off with a fair third at Kempton (7f) three weeks ago; should benefit from that run and he has possibilities on this drop back in trip. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
C&D winner last spring off a 4lb higher mark who finished a clear second on his return to turf nine days ago; 2lb higher now but having Jack Callan (1-11 for the yard) up to take off 3lb won't hurt; one to consider. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 9 (7) |
14th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Two wins from 18 starts; dropping to 5f wouldn't have suited at Lingfield in February but he was too free at Kempton (6f) when last seen 78 days ago; switches back to turf with others preferred. |
16/1 |

6th 7 (3) |
25th Feb 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Dropping back to 5f at Lingfield 11 days ago wouldn't have suited but was no match for Em Four at Chelmsford the time before; opposable. |

Won three times in 2024 but unable to add to his haul since; retains ability but perhaps vulnerable for win purposes once more. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 4 (2) |
14th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Four-time winner from 40 starts; made an encouraging start to the campaign when second at Bath last month but ran below his best at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 10 days ago; without a win since July 2024 and needs to bounce back from that latest effort. |

14th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Had a luckless passage at Bath last month but had a clearer run through when winning at Leicester (6f, good to firm) five days ago, travelling strongly and doing it comfortably; carries a 4lb penalty for that success and looks the one to beat. |
7/4 |
|
1st 6 (2) |
9th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Tough sort who last won on turf more than a year ago but he had a luckless run at Bath recently (extended 5f, good; no aids, as today); acts on this track and versatile regarding the ground; can't rule out. |
13/2 |
|
6th 11 (8) |
17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Hold-up performer who won four times last year including off 4lb higher at Brighton (7f, good to firm); two solid efforts on AW since rejoining Tony Carroll last month and he could be a big factor if he gets the breaks back on turf; tongue-tie and blinkers are removed but he has won without headgear. |

26th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Out of the frame in her last ten starts, but is 4lb lower than when making all over C&D this time last year; by no means written off. |
11/1 |
|
5th 6 (5) |
14th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Her four wins have included one over this C&D (good to soft) and she's now 1lb below the most recent of those successes; left the impression her first start for 192 days was needed when weakening at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 10 days ago and she should appreciate this drop in grade; contender. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Made encouraging seasonal/stable debut when fifth of 15 in higher-grade race at Doncaster (7f, good to soft) in March, but two lesser efforts have followed (7f/6f) and she'd appeal more on ground slower than good. |
12/1 |
|
6th 7 (4) |
14th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Signed off 2025 with a claiming success at Leicester (7f, soft) in October on his final start for Eve Johnson Houghton; two fair efforts over 7f since joining this stable and now drops back in trip on ground that he could probably do with being a bit softer than forecast. |

13th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Signed off for 2025 with C&D claiming win in October for Eve Johnson Houghton; not discredited for his new yard after five months off when fifth of 15 in 7f Doncaster handicap 15 days ago; needs considering. |

14th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Front-runner who won twice over 6f at Southwell last year when trained by Robert Cowell, the most recent coming in October off 2lb higher; visor worn on his final start for that yard is left off for this stable debut (bought for 9,500gns). |

4th 1 (5) |
7th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Front-runner whose three wins for David Simcock, including here, came over 7f; added two more victories over this trip round Southwell last autumn but not at best since and the first-time visor will need to help over tonight's easier 6f. |

14th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Won at Thirsk (6f, good) last June before following up at Chester (6f, good) a week later; well beaten in the Ayr Bronze Cup on his final start for Hugo Palmer and he beat only one rival home at Bath on his stable debut 27 days ago; visor back on (replacing cheekpieces worn last time). |
14/1 |

10th 2 (10) |
17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Ended last season with a heavy defeat in the Ayr Bronze Cup but he did well for Hugo Palmer last summer including a brave win off this mark at Chester (6f, good); returns in new headgear for new yard but he went close on his reappearance last term and he needs watching in market. |
16/1 |

19th Sep 2025 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb

3yo who won two in a row in June (6f, good) before close thirds on his next two starts (including over C&D on good to soft); his form dipped at Chester three weeks ago but he's an each-way possible if bouncing back. |

Won at Leicester (1m, good to firm) last June when trained by Charlie Johnston and he went close at Southwell (1m, AW) on his final start for that yard; beat only one rival home on his stable debut 174 days ago and now has his first try over 6f; cheekpieces left off. |

2nd 10 (8) |
23rd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Wouldn't judge him too harshly on latest Kempton effort when trapped out wide; in good hands and bred to be better than this mark but not obviously ahead of the handicapper at present. |
20/1 |
|
7th 7 (9) |
15th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Below par turned out quickly last time and given a rest since; has shown his recent improvement on turf and this return to AW presents a question mark. |
