25th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Made the breakthrough at Wolverhampton (6f, maiden; 4-1) in February; has bettered that since (on RPRs) with narrow defeats at Lingfield and Newcastle; 2lb higher again, but possible he can stake a claim if proving as effective on turf (debut). |

2nd 1 (8) |
5th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Off the mark in a Wolverhampton maiden (6f, Tapeta) last month, but probably put up an even better effort when beaten a head on handicap debut at Lingfield (6f, Polytrack) last Saturday; already due another 2lb rise for that and much respected. |

8th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Made the frame in three of his four starts on turf (5f/6f) for David Menuisier as a 2yo; changed hands for 9,000gns in October and makes his stable/handicap debut after seven months off having been gelded in the meantime; half-brother to a couple of AW winners and the market should be informative. |

9th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Showed plenty of speed, helping to set the pace, at Salisbury (6f, good to firm) and Yarmouth (5f, good) on first two starts; disappointing at Windsor (5f, good to firm) latest but he's the one to beat judged on the Yarmouth second. |

9th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
She has improved with each of her three starts, having a bit up her sleeve when winning over C&D four weeks ago (5f); makes her handicap debut with the potential for better. |

1st 5 (4) |
13th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Ran green on her York debut (6f, good) in October, but more like it when third of eight at Wolverhampton (6f, Tapeta) the following month; has shown plenty of speed in both starts so the drop to 5f should suit; off four months but still respected. |

Won small-field 5f handicap on soft ground here last September; stiff task at Goodwood 11 days later; absent since and looks on a tough mark. |

24th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |

Sprinting filly who opened her account in Bath nursery (5f, soft) most recently; faces a much stiffer assignment on these terms and is far from guaranteed to see out the new trip. |

22nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Off the mark in a 5f Lingfield novice (good) last May; reached the frame in a couple of handicaps since but she's been hard to predict and was last of seven in her final run (6f, AW) last year; record is now 1-11 and comes with risks attached on her return; visor worn last time is removed. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Changed stables last summer and it was an inauspicious start for this yard when last of nine in course nursery (good to firm) in August; subsequently gelded but again trailed the field at Bath (also 5f, firm) on his reappearance last month; plenty to prove on his first go at 6f. |

27th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |

Maiden winner for previous yard; absent and gelded since failing to beat a rival last August on debut for new stable; best watched unless the market speaks positively. |

22nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Three wins for William Knight last autumn, but he's finished last in three runs for new yard this spring and latest was at Lingfield (5f, good) on Monday; has plenty to prove and he needs a major revival. |
33/1 |

8th 9 (5) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 4f 217y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Three-time winner for William Knight last autumn, latterly off this mark, who's struggled in two runs for his current yard this spring; needs a revival. |
25/1 |
Betting Forcast
3/1 Arishkas Dream, 7/1 Arctic Wind, 4/1 La Belle Forest, 8/1 Carefree Dream, 5/1 Tie Fighter, 9/2 Guernsey Lady, 25/1 Alkuwarrior, 9/1 Beach Partee
Verdict
Rain-softened ground will be a first but the now-gelded ARISHKA’S DREAM is still worth chancing as he had progressed well on the AW before going off too fast when favourite for his debut on turf. La Belle Forest is better than she showed in her first handicap, while Guernsey Lady should also make her presence felt.[Alistair Jones]
