22nd May 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Acts on any ground; on a losing spell that goes back to Group 3 success two years ago but is on a very attractive mark and his Class 2 form this term includes a couple of respectable efforts; this combination of a drop in grade and assistance of Jamie Spencer (up for first time; regular jockey for the owner) may be the time to catch him. |
7/2 |

4th 9 (1) |
7th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Disappointing favourite at Ripon last time, taking record for current yard to 0-10, but his reappearance was encouraging and he has become very attractively handicapped; peak mark was 18lb higher and earned by bagging Group 3 honours at Newmarket two years ago; has the plum draw and can't be written off. |
9/2 |
|
6th 1 (3) |
25th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Losing spell goes back to his Palace House success two years ago but he has a reduced mark to work with as a result and he ran well when third on his Pontefract reappearance (5f, good to soft) 18 days ago; player if he can build on that. |

22nd May 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Ex-French 4yo who is 0-7 for current yard but has two pieces of encouraging form this year, namely placed efforts at Meydan and Newmarket on good ground (perhaps ideally suited by softer); below par last time but otherwise has possibilities. |

25th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |

Three-time winner over 6f in France who ran his best race in Britain when second of eight to same owner's Jakajaro at Newmarket (5f, good to soft) 11 days ago; bold show likely from an unchanged mark. |

22nd May 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Ended last season in good form on AW; has done most of her winning on turf but looks weighted to the hilt on reappearance, being still on a career-high mark; seems unlikely to improve aged eight. |

3rd 1 (9) |
13th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 4 |

She was having just her third run on AW when running out the stylish winner of a C&D handicap nine days ago; a 4lb rise shouldn't be beyond her but stall nine tempers enthusiasm. |

22nd May 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Regained the winning thread at Ripon (5f, good) on stable/seasonal debut when 5lb lower and rider took off 7lb; this seems a harder task but he remains well treated on peak form and is a dual winner at Goodwood; enters calculations. |
9/2 |

1st 5 (1) |
25th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |

Ten-time winner down the years for James Evans; drew a blank in 2025 but runner-up twice off marks in the 90s, including reappearance, so well treated starting out for Tony Carroll (same owners); interesting to see what the betting makes of him. |

Has registered two wins apiece on AW and turf; went close at Nottingham (5f, good) most recently; again receives weight all round and may well remain competitive; has bits of C&D form. |

2nd 10 (2) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 3 |

Has returned to AW for two starts this year, better effort when runner-up on reappearance; has gained both turf wins at Windsor but is attractively treated off current mark; could go well. |

22nd May 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |

Record of 6-17 on AW includes two wins in a consistent 2026 campaign; not disgraced back on turf last time but finished only fifth of six and took record in this sphere to 0-9; others preferred. |
9/1 |
|
5th 2 (7) |
4th May 2026 Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
6-17 on AW and better than ever this spring, following his Lingfield win in March with a narrow defeat at Southwell; 0-8 on turf but has run well on fast ground in the past; perhaps a shade high in the weights now. |
7/2 |

2nd 2 (1) |
9th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 4 |

Three AW wins since November, the latest a comfortable success at Lingfileld; held by Spring Is Sprung on C&D form from January but he should give his running again. |

22nd May 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |

Very productive in 2025, winning five times; hindered by wide draw at Chester most recently, otherwise has a good record over 5f; just needs to prove he can overcome current mark. |
12/1 |

9th 13 (12) |
7th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Posted duck eggs over 6f in last two appearances, not beaten entirely by the trip; has a very good record at 5f but faces a harder task off current mark at this level, especially from an unfavourable draw. |
33/1 |

10th 9 (10) |
17th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |

Enjoyed a revival in the second half of 2025, winning five 5f handicaps on good ground or slower; no show over 6f when last seen in November and he returns to action off a tough mark. |

Prevailed in reapplied hood at Southwell (6f) last time, taking AW record to 4-13; needs to prove he can transfer the form back to turf; only 1-10 in this sphere and is 7lb higher than last attempt. |

Narrowly came out on top when winning here over 5f last month before finishing a close third at Lingfield (5f, AW) next time, and shaped as if still in form in a race not run to suit back there ten days ago; step back up to 6f looks worth a try; hood back on. |

Lacks recent match practice, remains on career-high mark and won't have her apparent ideal ground (good to firm) unless the weather lends her a big hand; not the percentage call. |

4th Nov 2025 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 4 |

Poor draw when fourth behind Clearpoint here in September; dominant display when seeing off seven rivals from the front here three weeks ago; 6lb rise demands another career best but she's on an upward curve. |

Did well last term, winning four times; went close at Beverley on penultimate start and paid for racing freely in cheekpieces a few days later; runs without the headgear this time and could go well. |

7th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Did well last term, winning four times; back in top form, beaten only narrowly, at Beverley (5f, good to soft) on Monday with reappearance under his belt; may remain competitive off same mark, provided he takes well to first-time headgear. |
8/1 |

2nd 1 (4) |
4th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Went up 28lb for four wins last season, over 5f/6f on good/good to soft; showed he is still competitive with a sound sixth at Musselburgh on reappearance (5f, soft) and should come on for that run; a player. |
