27th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 16y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Running well since upped to 1m6f, recording form figures of 212 on his last three starts; no obvious reason he wouldn't go well again and he is travelling a long way for this assignment. |

2nd 5 (4) |
2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Positive start to his time with Bernard Llewellyn, getting off the mark in 1m6f Soutthwell handicap 17 days ago; showed promise on turf for previous yard and should remain competitive off 4lb higher. |
4/1 |

1st 6 (5) |
15th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
0-7; shaped with encouragement here over 1m4f on his yard debut and backed up that impression when second of ten at Wolverhampton (1m6f, AW) 15 days ago; unexposed over this distance and he's a major contender. |

27th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 16y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Three wins over 1m2f last season; unplaced twice this year but dropped 4lb for his troubles and this represents an ease in grade; stamina for 1m5f not assured. |
3/1 |

6th 5 (1) |
30th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Went up the weights having won three times last year, including C&D (good to firm) in May; unplaced on final start last term and same story on recent reappearance, but he may have needed that latest run and is not ruled out. |
8/1 |
|
7th 1 (9) |
16th Apr 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Front-runner who won on handicap debut at Redcar (1m2f, good to soft) last May and scored twice in a row at Pontefract (1m2f good/good to firm) last summer; unplaced on final run last year and has to prove his current mark is within range, but he might be the type to continue to progress this season. |

27th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 16y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Dipped into Class 5 company at Newcastle in March and won comfortably (extended 1m4f); two disappointing runs have followed and he now has a point to prove; has run well in two course visits, at least. |
10/1 |
|
4th 4 (2) |
1st May 2026 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Won for blinkers first being fitted and did so again for them going back on over C&D two months ago; lacked consistency in recent times and there's not much wiggle room off this mark but he's capable if on a going day. |

27th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 16y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Won twice over about 1m6f last September; low-key seasonal return last month but he fared better, albeit beaten at a short price, at Nottingham 18 days ago; shouldn't be too far away. |
2/1 |
|
2nd 1 (4) |
9th May 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Tailed off on Musselburgh reappearance (1m6f, soft) last month but that was a rare blip and he's feasibly treated on his best form last season including two wins over this trip (good); dangerous if he can bounce back. |
13/8 |
|
10th 11 (6) |
4th Apr 2026 Good 1m 5f 216y Class 3 |
8st 7lb |
Highly reliable in handicaps, with 1m6f doing the trick when he won on good ground at Haydock and Chester in space of a week last September; needs to resume progress but enters calculations. |
11/2 |
