1st 5 (8) |
30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Has done well over 1m for new connections, finding plenty for two wins on sand at Newcastle in late 2025; given a break after and two turf runs since, at Beverley and when fourth at Ayr ten days ago, suggest he isn't just an AW pony; can go well. |
6/1 |
|
4th 4 (7) |
20th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Rejuvenated on AW late last year, winning two in a row at Newcastle (1m); it's possible he'll improve for last month's outing at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm; seventh of ten), which was his first of the year, but he needs to prove he can transfer his AW resurgence back to turf. |
16/1 |

7th 5 (2) |
23rd Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 96y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Proved suited by the switch to AW towards the end of his 2025 campaign and nearly completed a 1m hat-trick on final outing; chance depends on whether he can keep up the good form returned to turf; only 1-12 in this sphere and 10lb higher than last attempt. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Two front-running wins on Wolverhampton AW (about 1m and 1m1f) early in 2026; no impact behind Candonomore back on turf at Bath last time, when regular blinkers were left off, as today; likely other days. |
8/1 |
|
4th 1 (4) |
27th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

AW form since wearing blinkers features his only two wins; 0-4 on turf and has a bit to prove with the headgear removed back in this sphere. |
9/1 |

9th 11 (3) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |

Front-runner who twice made all at Wolverhampton (8.6f/9.5f) in January, but recent evidence suggests the handicapper may have him for the time being. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Useful effort in defeat at Beverley (about 7f) last May and confirmed that stiff tracks suit when winning here (7f, good to firm; sole course start) in August; improved again when successful at Ayr later and no surprise if he comes on plenty from first two runs in 2026. |
16/1 |
|
10th 12 (7) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
All four wins over 7f, once on this track; probably stays further and is worth another go over 1m but he was last to finish on his comeback here over 7f in April and likely other days. |
25/1 |
|
13th 6 (9) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
C&D winner; two wins in the second half of 2025 and he ended that campaign with a good second of 15 at Leicester in October; runs off the same mark but he could only manage a midfield finish in this race on his reappearance 12 months ago. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Four wins in 2025 and he wasn't far away over 1m1f here in September; in reasonable form this year and this trip will suit better than the 1m4f he ran over at York last time out but it will be a good effort if he can win this off his current mark. |
12/1 |
|
15th 13 (4) |
13th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Had four wins last year (three 1m, one 1m2f) and has run with credit on all four starts this term, but his only attempt over this far was in 2024; needs a career best to get his head in front again. |
12/1 |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Lightly raced; sole win came over 7f at Chester last September and he's shown only the odd glimmer of promise in handicaps on AW and turf since; falling quickly in the weights but cheekpieces have a big job to do. |
14/1 |
|
19th 4 (15) |
15th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Record of 888 in handicaps (1m-1m2f) reflects his lack of progress since the novice performances that included a debut success in sole 7f attempt; however, this drop back in trip may prompt a resurgence. |
25/1 |
|
8th 3 (6) |
8th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Started his career with a win at Chester (7f, good) and a second at Southwell (1m, AW) last autumn; looked a useful prospect in those two runs but he's finished a well-held eighth in his two handicaps since; still unexposed but he needs improvement at this new trip. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
A ready winner at Bath (1m, firm) in April and, having run well over 1m2f in the past, he didn't have a problem with 1m1f when a close third, just behind Ayr Poet, at Ayr since on yard debut; remains on a career-high mark though so a shade more may be needed. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 2 (11) |
20th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 20y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Justified favouritism at Bath (1m, firm) on final start for Stuart Williams; sold for 35,000gns since, and begins life for new connections from a 5lb higher mark; has undertaken most of his racing over 7f-1m but does stay (runner-up over 1m2f last June); claims, even if career-best is required. |
11/4 |
|
1st 4 (6) |
27th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Four wins at 1m and 7f for previous yard; 0-5 for current stable but he's threatening to regain the winning thread, beaten a short head at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm) last week when switched back to turf from AW; major contender off the same mark. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Modest 2-26 strike-rate and refused to race once in the autumn; however, he's often run well in competitive races, as when third of 19 at York (1m, good) last July and was hampered next time; creditable return for new yard at Redcar (first-time hood, cheekpieces now refitted) this month; involved. |
14/1 |
|
6th 6 (9) |
7th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
Successful twice (1m2f/1m) in Ireland earlier in his career; talented but failed to win in 14 starts for Iain Jardine, including refusing to race on his penultimate outing last year; it's possible a change of stable (same owner) could spark a revival but a watching brief is still the percentage call here; hooded first time. |
22/1 |
|
16th 9 (11) |
11th Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
2-24 with both wins coming for Ger Lyons in Ireland (1m/1m2f); finished a close third of 19 behind Billyb here (1m, good) in July, but he refused to race at Ayr three weeks ago and has enough to prove after that. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Three 1m wins on Southwell AW this year; has also won on turf but he's 15lb higher than when last seen on grass in the autumn so needs to show his form on this surface can keep pace with the AW improvement. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 2 (4) |
25th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Record over C&D currently reads 22115112; didn't look to have any excuses in a race run to suit here three weeks ago and it's possible he's reached his ceiling mark now, but he's ultra consistent and looks set to get involved once again. |
7/2 |

2nd 1 (3) |
5th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |

Ran perfectly well when third of 11 behind a subsequent winner at Wolverhampton (8.6f, Tapeta) 16 days ago, but should relish the return here with his record over C&D reading 2211511; high on list. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
All 13 wins have come elsewhere but he does have course form and he did so well when going close at Ayr (1m1f, good to firm) last week; however, he's now 6lb higher than his September win which might be a step too far. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 9 (6) |
20th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 20y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Rounded off last season with a game win here (1m Class 5, good to soft; from 4lb lower), that his 13th win; struggled in a competitive Sunday Series Handicap at Musselburgh 24 days ago, and it might be a similar story here; stablemate of Pearl Eye and Motawaared. |
40/1 |

12th 8 (12) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 4 |

11yo who was as good as ever last season, winning three times, including at Ayr in September when last season; this two-time course winner is not ruled out on his return but there's a suspicion he'll improve for the run. |

Finished close up in 7f events on the AW for previous trainer but two handicap runs either side of a break were disappointing and her stamina will be under pressure back on this track. |
25/1 |

9th 5 (1) |
20th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |

4yo who has shown ability and has edged down the weights, but she wasn't at the top of her game on her final three runs last season and remains a maiden after ten starts; others are more compelling. |
33/1 |
|
8th 8 (2) |
7th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Nine-race maiden but fair efforts when placed at Chelmsford in June/July when trained by Jane Chapple-Hyam; below that form in two starts in small fields for current yard and needs to show improvement. |
12/1 |
