2nd 6 |
29th May 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Blinkered when ending a lengthy losing sequence in good style at Yarmouth nine days ago, drawing clear last 1f; up 6lb but another bold showing is on the cards with headgear retained and good amateur Henry Callan up. |
7/2 |

1st 7 (7) |
20th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 23y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
On a losing run and can get it wrong at the start; well handicapped on 2025 best, however, and he stayed on for fourth at Newcastle 19 days ago; conditions shouldn't be an issue and he commands respect with new blinkers now replacing cheekpieces. |
8/1 |

4th 12 (9) |
1st May 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
Not as good now and prone to the occasional off-day; still to win over C&D but his record suggests he needs considering off this mark, especially given his two previous runs in cheekpieces both resulted in near-misses. |

20th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 23y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Nine wins to his name, including C&D, and just 1lb higher than for March's narrow Kempton success (1m3f); two creditable efforts have followed but he could use the ground drying out if he is to add to his tally. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 2 (2) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Ridden by Rossa Ryan (now on Kurios Lady) on last two starts, prevailing narrowly at Kempton (1m3f) before a close fourth at Southwell (1m3f); they were on AW and he ran only once on turf last year, when a respectable third off this mark at Haydock (1m2f, good) last July but he needs better than that. |

20th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 23y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
His good run of form ground to a halt at Thirsk last time but he can be given a pass as he was tight for room at a crucial stage; Billy Loughnane back on board today and his record for him reads 4111; one to take seriously. |
4/1 |
|
8th 2 (4) |
2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
He had dropped a long way in the weights prior to his Wolverhampton win on Boxing Day; added further wins at Wolverhampton (twice) and Bath (1m, good) since; similar form when fourth at Nottingham two weeks ago (1m2f, good); shouldn't be far away if the ground is deemed suitable (untried on faster than good). |
3/1 |
|
4th 1 (10) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Made it 4-7 since cheekpieces went on when seeing off ten rivals back on turf at Bath (1m, good) 13 days ago; a 3lb rise shouldn't prevent another prominent showing in his current mood. |

20th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 23y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Well beaten in three maiden/novice runs but there was more promise to be gleaned from his handicap debut fourth at Wolverhampton (1m6f, AW; well supported) in January, a race where he still looked to be learning his craft; the hood worn on that occasion is now dispensed with; capable of better. |
4/1 |
|
7 (8) |
10th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Has smart pedigree but he finished tailed off in sole run (1m2f, good) for Charlie Appleby in April; changed hands for 5,000gns during the summer and is best watched on return for new yard. |
100/1 |
|
10th 10 (3) |
26th Apr 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Eighth foal; closely related to winners Sayyida (Group-placed 1m4f; RPR 104) and Commanding Prince (7f/1m; 90) and half-brother to Derby winner Masar; top pedigree but already gelded and William Buick rides his stablemate. |

27th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Won't be justifying her seven-figure yearling price but has joined the yard who trained her winning sisters (including Saffron Beach, who struck twice at the top level) and she showed enough at Southwell last month to suggest a win or two is achievable; didn't see 1m2f out at Yarmouth last week; due 2lb drop; first-time cheekpieces replace hood. |
8/1 |
|
5th 5 (5) |
20th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 23y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Some promise for William Haggas last year and again when third of ten on her stable/seasonal debut last month (1m, AW; hooded first time); this sister to her new yard's Group 1 1m winner Saffron Beach isn't sure to improve for the longer trip but she isn't fully exposed just yet. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 10 (3) |
25th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Turned in four moderate efforts for William Haggas at shortish prices last year; perhaps the switch to the trainer of her Group 1-winning sister Saffron Beach and the fitting of a first-time hood will do the job. |

20th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 23y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Two course wins on slower than good, the latest off 2lb lower last September; added a 1m2f success at Lingfield in January and his subsequent modest effort at Nottingham may have been needed after three-months off; more appealing than many. |
7/1 |
|
9th 3 (8) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Back to winning ways on Lingfield's AW (1m2f) in January; his four successes prior to that all came on turf (including 1m here) so he should remain competitive off only 2lb higher if fully primed after three months off. |

20th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 23y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
She has not been beaten far in two handicaps at around 1m this spring, keeping on for a 2l fifth at Southwell three weeks ago; still has some potential and stepping up to 1m2f could unlock it. |
8/1 |
|
5th 9 (5) |
29th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Ran okay when 5l fourth of five in C&D novice last September and it was her first run since when beaten only about 3l in sixth of ten on handicap debut at Beverley (8.4f, turf) a fortnight ago; her pedigree provides optimism that she'll have more to offer and she could be a contender. |
11/1 |
|
6th 6 (9) |
15th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 100y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Appeared to show improved form when fourth of five at Southwell (1m, AW) in September on her final qualifying run; assessor probably hasn't left much to chance but she's the least exposed of these and may be able to have a say on this handicap debut. |
