8st 4lb |
Both wins have come over 7f at Ayr, and he surged back to form when scoring there ten days ago; still lightly raced, in excellent hands, and should be at least as effective over this trip on a stiff track; a danger to all at the foot of the weights. |
12/1 |

1st 3 (5) |
20th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Down the field over about 1m at Musselburgh and Hamilton on his two starts this season; however, his sole win came over this C&D last August and it's possible the return to Ayr and drop back to 7f will trigger a revival. |
6/1 |

3rd May 2026 Good 1m 0f 68y Class 5 |

Had some high points last season on which he's realistically treated but his return last week at Musselburgh was underwhelming. |

1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Has generally been consistent this year, winning for the first time on turf at Musselburgh (7f, good) in April; recorded a rare blip at Leicester last month but back on track when runner-up at Ayr (7f, good to firm) 12 days ago; respected. |
11/4 |
|
2nd 4 (7) |
20th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Some good form this spring prior to winning at Musselburgh (7f, good) last month; flopped at Leicester (7f, good to firm) 11 days ago but he shouldn't be written off today. |
13/2 |

8th 4 (4) |
9th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Gained a deserved victory in 7f Musselburgh handicap ten days ago; up 2lb but this consistent front-runner ought to be in the shake-up again. |

3rd 7 (8) |
20th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
He has an up-and-down profile but he won at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) in March and finished second of seven over this C&D (good to firm) a fortnight ago; leading claims if backing up that latest performance. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 3 (9) |
5th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Hold-up performer who was a ready winner at Wolverhampton in March; similar form wheen fourth at Southwell on his next start but his performance has dipped twice since; no guarantee this will be run to suit. |
5/1 |
|
6th 5 (1) |
22nd Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Hold-up handicapper who won a 7f Wolverhampton handicap off a 7lb lower mark last month; two creditable efforts have followed but he will need to raise his game to defy this mark and stall 1 will mean he needs some luck in running too. |

20th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
0-15 since winning his first three starts; however, he went close at Musselburgh (7f, good) two starts ago despite trouble in running and was again denied a clear run when sixth there (7f, good) last time; could be in the mix if getting the breaks. |
5/1 |
|
6th 7 (10) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Drawn a blank since winning first three starts for Roger Varian but surely would have put that right over C&D (good) last time with more luck in running, going down by only a head despite being repeatedly denied a run in the penultimate furlong; might need the breaks if he's dropped in from the outside stall but still has to be high on the list. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 12 (1) |
12th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Won his first three starts over 7f/1m on the AW for Roger Varian, but placed just once in 13 outings since; 24lb lower than when last on turf, but he still has plenty to prove. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
10yo who posted a fairly encouraging reappearance run at Ayr (7f, good to firm) last Wednesday, when rallying for fifth of eight; each-way possibilities if building on that run now back up in trip. |
33/1 |
|
5th 9 (9) |
20th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
8st 4lb |
10yo who made a winning reappearance here in 2024 (sole course win from 29 attempts) and was on the scoresheet at Musselburgh last September; however, his campaign petered out tamely and a return to form is needed on his seasonal debut. |
25/1 |
|
9 (11) |
5th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 20y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Not a regular winner; successful at Musselburgh last September (1m, good) but form tailed off after that and lacks a run this time. |

20th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
His form went the wrong way after he made a winning reappearance at Carlisle last May but he returns having had wind surgery and the break may have helped; 2lb lower than when last successful and could be involved. |
9/1 |
|
8th 4 (10) |
4th Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Made virtually all off 1lb higher on seasonal debut at Carlisle (7f, good to soft) in May but not really firing on all cylinders since (six more runs) and has stamina to prove on first venture beyond 1m. |
10/1 |
|
1 (10) |
24th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Mainly below his best since winning at Carlisle (7f, good to soft; first-time tongue-tie) in May, including when well beaten with blinkers applied (retained) here over 1m eight days ago; back to 7f. |

20th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Not at the top of his game this season but hasn't run badly over 6f on his last two starts and he's possibly better at 7f; he's dropped down the weights and could have a big part to play. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 6 (9) |
21st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
A fair 6f winner for Richard Hannon in 2025; changed hands for 25,000 guineas and not discredited on just his second run for new yard when sixth of 15 in 6f Thirsk handicap 11 days ago; enters calculations. |
6/1 |
|
6th 5 (13) |
10th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Windsor maiden winner (6f, good to firm) for Richard Hannon in May last year and ran well in turf/AW handicaps afterwards, but having been gelded he was well beaten on his stable/seasonal debut at Southwell (7f, AW) last month; enough to prove. |

20th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Just one win from his 15 starts and he's inconsistent; however, he could improve for last month's reappearance run at Thirsk and he's on a handy mark on last season's best 6f form; has hinted a few times that this step back up to 7f will be worth exploring and he's not discounted. |
12/1 |
|
10th 13 (7) |
10th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
1-14, the win coming on handicap debut at Kempton (6f, AW) for the Crisfords in March last year; has proved inconsistent for this yard and may need the run; unraced on ground faster than good. |
14/1 |
|
7th 2 (7) |
1st Nov 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Inconsistent for Michael Dods and no guarantee he will back up last month's close fourth over C&D; won't be far away if he is on another good day though. |
