28th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 23y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Polytrack winner for Sir Mark Prescott in January; two good runs to start off his time with Joseph Parr and he took a step forward when seeing off seven rivals at Lingfield (1m2f, good) ten days ago; this is tougher under a penalty but he did well to overcome a slow start last time and he's still unexposed on turf; respected. |

18th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
This looks his optimal trip, having won over it at Doncaster in March, and should be happier back on turf having been unable to take his usual prominent position on the AW a fortnight ago; one of the likelier winners. |

Dual turf winner, the latest on his Doncaster reappearance (1m2f, good to soft) in March; up 4lb and a player if as effective on Polytrack. |

18th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Four wins for two previous yards came from the front, three round undulating courses; finished last season on a downswing, though, and sold for 1,000gns since; there's nothing to suggest he's best caught fresh. |

18th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |

Campaigned on turf this term for new yard; had a good spell in June/July but has proved disappointing in two starts since; beaten favourite in last two AW attempts and now 3lb higher. |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 11y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Versatile ground-wise and he wasn't far off the principals last time at Lingfield (1m2f); hard to call him well handicapped but entitled to have some say. |
7/1 |
|
4th 4 (1) |
18th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Held off his revised mark since an AW win late last year; not a bad effort back from a break returned to turf at Chester (1m4f; good record first time out in his younger years) last time and this is less competitive. |
8/1 |
|
8th 15 (10) |
8th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Ended 2025 with emphatic AW win at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) and came second on both AW starts in January (1m2f/9.4f); absent since lesser effort in February and not ideally drawn today but has two course wins (including a division of this race in 2024) on his CV; could have a say. |

18th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Struggled since winning a 1m Tapeta novice last autumn, latterly returned to that trip on Polytrack without the usual hood (left off again today); something to prove now. |
10/1 |

6th 1 (2) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Low-mileage filly whose Southwell novice win last September took her 1m record to 221; finished last in middle-distance events (Listed/handicap) since but may prove resurgent back down in trip, provided the removal of usual hood doesn't backfire. |
14/1 |

6th 4 (2) |
4th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 4 |

Runner-up on her first two starts for James Fanshawe before landing a novice here over 1m in September; tailed off on heavy ground in Listed company when last seen 116 days ago and now makes her handicap debut. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Dual winner for Jane Chapple-Hyam but has been quite disappointing since the latest of those wins; held in two starts since undergoing wind surgery and blinkers are now tried instead of cheekpieces; down another 3lb. |
12/1 |
|
6th 1 (3) |
18th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won his first two handicaps as a 3yo but has regressed for two yards since; held on his AW comeback from wind surgery three weeks ago but is entitled to come on for that and this is weaker in second-time cheekpieces. |
6/1 |
|
9th 3 (7) |
27th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 4 |

Won twice for Jane Chapple-Hyam in 2024; 0-4 for current yard and has had wind surgery since has last run in October; best watched for now. |

4th Jun 2026 Good 1m 3f 209y Class 5 |

Both wins, including one over hurdles, came in a hood, which was absent when well beaten on the AW last month and again here; others preferred. |

7th 6 (4) |
18th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |

Both wins, including one over hurdles, came in a hood, which is absent as he returns from wind surgery after three months off; had plenty of chances off this sort of mark last year. |

18th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Running consistently off his higher AW mark (almost a stone lower on turf), including for new yard five weeks ago; has only gone beyond 1m once before, though, and the longer trip on grass is the double concern. |
8/1 |
|
7th 8 (8) |
14th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Tapeta win early last year came off 5lb lower and he's looked to find this mark just beyond him this season; needs a career-best effort for his new yard, having been picked up from Brian Meehan recently for £12,500. |
10/1 |
|
4th 5 (3) |
24th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Just one win to his name from 16 attempts but he has run well in two of his three starts this year, including C&D; that said, he wouldn't appear to have much in hand of his mark. |
4/1 |
