1st 2 (3) |
25th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 2 |
9st 13lb |
Went back-to-back at Hamilton last season (1m1f, good; maiden/handicap) and unlikely that he gave his true running when a beaten favourite at York in September (1m2f); held a Cambridgeshire entry back then and he retains plenty of potential as a 4yo, especially at this trip (dam stayed well). |
8/1 |
|
6 (12) |
7th Sep 2025 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Cambridgeshire entrant who is on a hat-trick after back-to-back 1m1f wins at Hamilton, accounting for a solid yardstick on handicap debut (good); could easily take a 5lb rise in his stride and today's extra distance is likely to suit (dam stayed well). |
9/4 |

2 (6) |
12th Aug 2025 Good 1m 1f 35y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Fulfilled previous promise when a short-priced winner of a C&D maiden in June, comfortably beating a stablemate of Noble Horizon; brings plenty of potential into handicaps. |

2nd 10 (1) |
25th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Failed to progress after winning a maiden for Dermot Weld but it's been a bright start for his new connections and he only narrowly failed last time at Ripon (1m2f, good to soft); that was a Class 4 so this is tougher, but respected nonetheless. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 4 (7) |
16th Apr 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Failed to progress for Dermot Weld but this lightly raced 5yo was a promising fourth at Doncaster (1m2f, good to soft) on his recent stable and seasonal debut; could have more to offer for this yard; on the shortlist. |
9/4 |
|
4th 12 (6) |
29th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 3 |
8st 10lb |
Trained for the previous three seasons by Dermot Weld, winning a maiden at Cork (1m2f, soft) in April 2024 from nine starts; behind last autumn on last two outings, which preceded a 32,000gns sale and gelding operation; down the weights and has an attractive mark for new connections to work with if they can spark a revival. |

25th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who bagged some valuable course experience in winning narrowly over C&D last month; the runner-up had been jumping, but this 145,000euros yearling had a bit in hand and surely has more to give off a 4lb higher mark. |
100/30 |
|
1st 3 (9) |
30th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Off the mark at the fourth attempt in a maiden at Brighton (7f, good to firm) last September and he reappeared with a close second on last month's handicap debut at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW); that latest form reads well and this unexposed 4yo is a major player up 2lb. |
5/2 |
|
2nd 5 (1) |
20th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Progressive form in his four maidens, culminating in September in his second at Newcastle (7f, Tapeta) and his win in a four-runner race at Brighton (7f, good to firm); gelded since; likely to stay and bring potential to this handicap debut and his strength in the market can prove instructive. |

25th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 2 |
9st 13lb |
6yo with only 13 races behind him and ran just three times last year, winning at Sandown (1m2f, good to firm) on the second occasion; 1lb lower than that day but he does need to rebound from a desperate comeback run at Pontefract. |
16/1 |
|
8th 5 (7) |
21st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 5y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Ran just three times last year, winning at Sandown (1m2f, good to firm) on the second occasion, and soft ground there may not have suited when last seen; also unproven on good to soft; this lightly raced 6yo is capable of having a big say if fully tuned up and handling conditions. |
8/1 |
|
9th 5 (8) |
30th Aug 2025 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Got up close home in this race on final start last term (good) and he surged back to form with another C&D win by a neck eight weeks ago (good to firm); a bit below form on his only start on softer than good (good to soft here last July); just 1lb higher than last time and, if the ground is okay, another strong finish from off the pace can't be ruled out. |

25th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Steady progress last season, winning at 7f and 1m; flopped in the Spring Mile first time back but showed his true colours when emerging from off the pace to beat a Beckett improver over 1m here recently (4lb lower); he should stay this far. |
13/2 |
|
1st 4 (1) |
7th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Made steady progress switched to handicaps last autumn, winning over 7f at Ascot (good to soft) and 1m at Newcastle (AW); that makes his reappearance effort in the Doncaster Spring Mile disappointing but last year's exploits show he's better than that. |
10/1 |
|
18th 15 (20) |
28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Record of 51531 since handicapping includes a couple of respectable efforts at Doncaster (7f, heavy); held on by only a whisker at Newcastle (AW) upped to 1m but may have further improvement in him. |

25th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Low-mileage 5yo who won for Sean Woods on his belated debut at Thirsk (1m, good) last July; not blatantly well treated on the balance of his form (including 1m2f/1m1f handicaps) but now makes his debut for a top trainer having changed hands for 65,000gns; has to be of strong interest. |
9/2 |
|
14th 22 (8) |
27th Sep 2025 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 2 |
8st 5lb |
Won on debut at Thirsk (1m, good) in July and returned to form when second in Yarmouth novice (1m, good to firm) last month; ran respectably when fourth of nine on handicap debut at Doncaster (1m2f, soft) and this very lightly raced 4yo could have more to offer, but others make greater appeal. |

25th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 2 |

Five-time winner who has been operating close to his best in defeat this year but not last time at Epsom when in first-time cheekpieces; even if back on song, others are more intriguing. |
25/1 |
|
6th 4 (4) |
28th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 17y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Two AW wins in December and returned to turf with 3l third of eight at Pontefract (1m2f, good) last Tuesday; might not be far away but there's a suspicion that this exposed 7yo might find a few too good; cheekpieces go on. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 10 (10) |
21st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 5y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Two AW wins in December (1m2f/9.4f) and good third at Kempton (1m4f, AW) last month; no threat at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) last time but that was a hot contest and this three-time turf winner is not ruled out each-way. |

25th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Dominated a small field at Yarmouth (1m2f, good to firm) and definitely improved on that form when a battling third behind classy improvers from top yards at Newbury (good); an easy lead looks unlikely here but he's a 4yo on the upgrade. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 10 (12) |
15th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Enjoyed the run of the race when making all to beat four rivals on his Yarmouth return (1m2f, good) 15 days ago; has a 5lb penalty to carry but remains unexposed after just five starts, so makes the shortlist. |
