1st 1 (7) |
28th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Beaten just over 2l when an encouraging seventh of 17 at Ascot (5f, good to firm) at the start of the month; both of last year's wins came at 6f on a sound surface so has conditions to suit and he's a candidate to step forward. |

Effective at 5f but last summer's two wins came over 6f; not beaten far at Chelmsford (5f) when last seen in December; still has relatively low mileage. |

28th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Broke her duck in a Southwell handicap last month then bungled the start before seeing little daylight when fourth of 18 at Ascot (6f, good to firm; Fantasy Master third) 19 days ago; looked to finish that event with a fair bit more to give and she's a key player. |
9/2 |
|
4th 18 (11) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Off the mark in a 6f handicap at Southwell last month; finished behind Dicko The Legend when fifth back at Southwell ten days ago; improvement essential but the booking of Oisin Murphy catches the eye. |
12/1 |

5th 6 (1) |
29th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Typically lost ground at the start over C&D 24 days ago but came through to win under Oisin Orr; there may be enough pace in here, with the likes of Shazani, to set it up for the closers but 5lb rise demands more. |

3rd 5 (10) |
28th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Ended 2025 with two good AW runs at Kempton; down the field in three AW starts this year and he had been given a wind op before weakening on his return to turf at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 17 days ago; nothing wrong with this mark and he drops in grade but the jury's out at the moment. |
16/1 |

7th 10 (1) |
11th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
Ended 2025 with two good AW runs at Kempton; down the field in three AW runs this year but he has had a wind op since last seen; unplaced in four turf runs but the defeats have been in good races and he has shown promise on grass; well drawn and his 7lb lower turf mark heightens interest. |
8/1 |
|
10th 2 (3) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Below best on both runs this year but failed to settle at Kempton last time, when a wide draw also didn't help; twice went close at Kempton (6f) towards the end of last year and this C&D winner is not written off. |

28th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Tends to lead; started the year well on AW but it all went wrong at Newcastle in March and he could only beat one home in seven-runner 5f course handicap a fortnight ago; easy ground probably no help that day and it's not impossible this C&D winner can stage a revival. |
16/1 |
|
6th 8 (12) |
13th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 42y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Front-runner whose last four wins have been on the AW, the most recent over 6f at Newcastle in February, but he did win here (6f) in 2024; failed to beat a rival home having unseated his rider on the way to the start at Newcastle in March and now drops back to 5f on first start since; looks likely to face competition for the lead. |
20/1 |
|
14th 10 (3) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
His good 5-15 AW record includes a comfortable C&D win from the front last month; creditable third of nine at Chelmsford (5f) since and the form of that race has been boosted; a must for the shortlist. |

28th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Quickly clicked into gear for this yard with an eyeshield fitted, scoring twice on AW in April before close second at Lingfield (also 6f, good) last Monday; due for a 1lb nudge in future and he can't be ignored. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 6 (6) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Has got it together for his current (third) yard since fitted with an eyeshield; needs to improve on previous turf efforts but a 3lb rise looks fair and he has a decent chance of completing the hat-trick. |
2/1 |
|
1st 3 (5) |
27th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Came good for new stable at third attempt, overcoming some traffic issues before winning readily at Wolverhampton (6f) ten days ago; 4lb rise does not look excessive and this C&D also suits; good chance. |

28th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Five visits here have resulted in three wins and two places, all at 6f; made an encouraging return when fourth of nine at Ripon three weeks ago and he's slipped to a dangerous mark; tempting. |
6/1 |
|
4th 6 (6) |
8th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
All of his four wins have been at Yarmouth (6f, good/good to firm) and latest was in September 2024; well treated on old form but he had a mixed record last season and was well held in the autumn on his final two runs; has a bit to prove after six months off and others are preferred. |
12/1 |
|
3 (4) |
12th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
7yo who has run some good races in defeat this season, finishing third of 17 at Ripon (6f, good to firm) in August and 3l second of five at Yarmouth (6f, good to soft) last time; this front-runner can make a bold bid. |

28th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Made a proper splash when going in at 50-1 on her reappearance in C&D maiden (good; third start) in April but contrasting fortunes when beaten 18l on her handicap debut at Newmarket 12 days ago; that was too bad to be true but does lower expectations somewhat. |
14/1 |
|
9th 9 (6) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
4yo who made debut last October and improved upon her first two runs when dropped in trip at Yarmouth (6f, good) last month, when she won by a neck at 50-1; had a next-time-out winner in second last time and this unexposed filly could be involved on her handicap debut. |
11/1 |

1st 1 (3) |
28th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |

Modest RPRs in her first two races and doesn't look up to winning a maiden. |

4th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Maiden; two poor efforts of late, with and without a hood, but he ran well for a long way behind a subsequent winner at Wolverhampton (6f) in April and is worth another go at 5f; first-time blinkers today. |
13/2 |
|
8th 10 (4) |
28th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |
8st 6lb |
0-5 on turf; didn't build on his second at Wolverhampton in April when favourite but flopping at Southwell (also 6f, AW) a fortnight later; others hold more pressing claims. |
14/1 |
|
6th 3 (7) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Prominent racer who got off the mark in a 6f handicap at Lingfield (AW) last September; similar form when second to an improving rival at Wolverhampton 13 days ago; easy lead unlikely but he is still considered. |
