2nd 2 (5) |
29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 16y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Has dropped a fair way down the weights over the last year or so, but looked back in prime form when scooting clear to win readily by 4l at Southwell (5f, AW) last week; also suited by good to firm turf and is 4lb ahead of the handicapper under his 5lb penalty. |

21st May 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Still to win a handicap and has been turned over as favourite four times this year; did well to finish second last time (first run under Seamus Cronin) having reared at the start and it's bound to fall right at some point, maybe tonight. |

Just one win from 28 starts and he has burned some fingers already this year; no doubt he has the ability to win off this mark but the excuses are running out. |

2nd 6 (1) |
21st May 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Began handicap life on an unrealistic mark last year having won her first two starts in novice company; competitive again now, though, finishing a solid second at Wolverhampton when down to 5f on Monday in first-time cheekpieces; shortlisted. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 3 (3) |
18th May 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |

Won two AW novice events last summer over 6f-7f; hasn't gone on in handicaps since; first-time cheekpieces go on now she steps down in class back at 5f off a plummeting mark; may well show more. |

4yo who won last summer on her first two starts (6f/7f, AW); four lesser runs followed last year (turf/AW), however, and there was no return to form on her recent reappearance at Southwell (6f, AW). |

21st May 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |

Just a maiden win to her name and has often pulled hard, including a couple of times for her current yard; fair comeback at Doncaster in March, albeit from a good draw, and is worth considering. |

21st May 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Boasts a decent record around this time of year; below par on turf last time but he's bounced back from blips before and he's in off the same mark as when going close over C&D in March; one to consider. |
12/1 |

10th 2 (7) |
12th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Close third, despite traffic issues, in AW contest when last seen two months ago; defied a 2lb higher mark over C&D (good to firm) last May and warrants respect back here. |

4th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Maiden after 14 runs, five under Billy Loughnane, but has been involved in tight finishes over 5f on Tapeta on three occasions so ought to find a race at some stage and perhaps this first go on Polytrack will suit. |
3/1 |
|
5th 7 (9) |
21st May 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Had 13 cracks at it now and enjoyed the run of the race in a small-field maiden when last seen three months ago; that's been boosted since but, while she's consistent, she's fully exposed. |

4th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Busy since the autumn; some narrow defeats to go with three 5f wins, on Polytrack elsewhere and Tapeta; ran flat at Southwell recently but he's realistically weighted if that wasn't a sign that he's going off the boil. |
9/2 |
|
6th 5 (2) |
21st May 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Three wins in the winter, including over C&D, and he has continued to run well off his revised mark; drawn wide on turf last time and usually gives his running round here, so holds each-way claims. |
12/1 |

6th 3 (1) |
9th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 4f 217y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Nine wins on the AW but just 1-28 on turf; fit from a productive winter campaign but he's drawn on the outside and others are more appealing. |

8st 11lb |
Drawn wide back up to 6f last time and that run is best overlooked; previously in good form over C&D, winning at a short price late last month in 0-55 company, but this race is stronger and he's 6lb higher. |
12/1 |

9th 9 (10) |
6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Dual C&D winner who recorded his eighth AW win when coming from last to first at Southwell (5f) last week; 5lb higher under a penalty but he remains feasibly treated and is a big player again back up in trip. |
7/2 |
|
1st 4 (4) |
28th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Seven AW wins have come elsewhere but he has often run well over C&D and did so again when only narrowly failing to end a losing run here on Saturday; had no problem with returning to 5f for the first time in over a year and a likely candidate. |

21st May 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Confirmed his liking for Nottingham, where he won last autumn, when back-to-form second 12 days ago, again from the front; went close on Tapeta too around the turn of the year and enters calculations. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 6 (8) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Just one win from ten starts but that was a dominant display in a 14-runner handicap over C&D (good) in October; mixed results in three subsequent runs but he went close at Wolverhampton in December and may have needed his reappearance run at Southwell in March; still looks on a workable mark and it wouldn't be a surprise if he made a bold bid back at this track. |
8/1 |
|
7th 2 (4) |
28th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Lightly raced 4yo, last seen running well when second over this trip at Wolverhampton on Boxing Day; may not have reached his ceiling just yet and he has possibilities off the same mark if fit after three months off. |

Yard quiet so far this year and this C&D regular has been given a break since below par here in March; on a career-low mark now, 4lb below his last winning figure, but needs a revival. |
14/1 |

8th 5 (9) |
28th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |

Four-time C&D winner, the latest in January off a 2lb higher mark; however, he seems to be going through the motions at present, never dangerous when sixth last time; others preferred. |

21st May 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |

Wildly inconsistent filly who's finished well held a few times since springing a 33-1 shock over C&D in March; it seems the positive early impact of the visor may have worn off. |
25/1 |

8th 6 (1) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Sprung a 33-1 surprise at Southwell last month (5f) but that has been followed by two disappointing runs; best turf form on good ground; others appeal more for win purposes. |
20/1 |
|
7th 9 (5) |
7th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Opened her account for her current yard over C&D in March but bumped start when last of eight in 5f Wolverhampton handicap three days ago; it would come as no surprise to see her bounce back. |
