1st 4 (4) |
19th May 2026 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Maiden who's been turned over as favourite on four of his last six starts, two of them over C&D (behind Angelardo in March), and also behind Lady Phoebe at Pontefract; will be happier back on Tapeta. |
3/1 |

5th 6 (12) |
21st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 139y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
0-11 but he's run some good races at up to an extended 2m on AW since joining this yard and he's dropped some hints that he could be suited by this extreme test of stamina. |
7/2 |
|
4th 3 (4) |
11th Mar 2026 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Ten-race maiden; placed in three of his five starts since joining this stable but he's been tailed off in the other two, including at Southwell (2m, AW) 47 days ago; needs to put that behind him. |

2nd 3 (5) |
19th May 2026 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Inconsistent but likes it here (C&D winner in March off 4lb lower) and should fare better, the blinkers experiment having been binned following a below-par effort last time. |
6/1 |
|
8th 3 (3) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 6 |
11st 0lb |
Off the mark at the seventh attempt when forging clear at Newcastle (2m, Tapeta) last month but he's been well held on Polytrack and Tapeta since; has bit to prove again and he needs more progress in first-time blinkers; stablemate of Yakhabar. |
13/2 |
|
4th 5 (8) |
25th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
The step up in distance did the trick when he scored at Newcastle (2m, AW) last month; always in rear when last of eight at Chelmsford (13.5f, AW) since; holds claims if leaving latest effort behind. |

3rd 5 (3) |
19th May 2026 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Maiden who's found her level since cheekpieces went on, going close in similar races a couple of times earlier in the year; this the first time she's gone beyond 1m6f and she has claims if her stamina holds. |
5/1 |
|
4th 7 (9) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 6 |
10st 11lb |
Inconsistent ten-race maiden but she was runner-up over C&D last month and wasn't beaten far back on turf at Beverley (1m4f) last time; tongue-tie is now added and she's in the mix back up in trip. |
7/2 |
|
6th 8 (2) |
15th Apr 2026 Good 1m 4f 23y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
0-9 but she wasn't far away at Newcastle (1m4f) in February and went pretty close at Southwell (1m6f) the following month; disappointed in Lingfield classified (also AW) three weeks ago but she's not entirely ruled out in this first turf handicap. |

19th May 2026 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Not achieved much in previous visits here but always over shorter and she's been found the right race having won comfortably over the extended 2m5f at Pontefract four weeks ago; holds obvious claims upped 5lb. |
7/4 |
|
1st 10 (6) |
21st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 139y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Just one win from her 28 starts and she needs to prove her stamina, but she's on a competitive mark on her Flat form last August/September and she ran pretty well over hurdles three weeks ago; trainer won this last year. |
11/1 |
|
4th 5 |
31st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 62y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Best run since going handicapping when 17l fourth of 12 over this C&D on good to soft four weeks ago; more needed; has an each-way chance. |

19th May 2026 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Inclined to pull hard in this headgear combination for the first time on his comeback and that was a solid effort all things considered (Nymphaea fourth); always the danger he'll do the same under Hope Regan (0-16) but claims if settling. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 11 (2) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 6 |
10st 8lb |
Just one win from 17 starts but he reached the frame on numerous occasions over 2m/2m1f in July-October last year; ended 2025 on a low note but he's well handicapped on his best form and needs watching in market after five months off. |
7/1 |
|
6 (9) |
18th Oct 2025 Standard 2m 0f 120y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Consistent on turf since upped to 2m/2m1f; recorded sole success at Wolverhampton and warrants respect back here. |

19th May 2026 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Trainer not saddled a Flat winner in around six years; this maiden has tumbled down the handicap since joining from Andre Fabre and needs to improve on this spring's turf efforts. |
16/1 |
|
7th 1 (8) |
11th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 13y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Displayed early promise in France but unable to make an impact on her two runs this spring and she needs to raise her game. |
20/1 |
|
7th 7 (7) |
25th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Displayed early promise on the Flat in France but hasn't shown much since coming to Britain, including back on the Flat at Catterick (1m4f) 17 days ago; up markedly in trip now with a tongue-tie added. |

19th May 2026 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Useful in Ireland in his younger days but been poor under both codes for this yard for a good while; tailed off behind two of these at Pontefract last time. |
50/1 |
|
7th 11 (11) |
21st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 139y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
He's dropped to a basement mark but his sole win came in 2020 and this 9yo struggled to get competitive last year; first run since last October. |
40/1 |
|
7th 8 (6) |
28th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 7f 189y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
1m3f winner who has been plummeting in the weights but is hard to recommend based on recent efforts. |
