7th 9 (4) |
1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
8st 10lb |
Fell in both hurdle starts, after which he was rerouted to the Flat; made a successful handicap debut at Southwell (1m3f, hooded first time) in April and two runs since have both been respectable; more needed to come out on top in this field. |
8/1 |

5th 7 (7) |
12th May 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Has improved since handicapping on the AW with a hood enlisted, beating a solid yardstick at Southwell (1m3f, Tapeta) last month and finishing second of nine over 1m2f here nine days later; should be suited by the return to further; respected. |

15th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Won twice over about 1m4f (AW/good to firm) last spring and he's thrown in judged on that form; twice close up on AW in January and a respectable third at Bath (2m) in April, before Ascot 2m race last week proved too tough; there's a rethink on trip today and cheekpieces (last used in June 2024) return. |
20/1 |

7th 10 (6) |
8th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 209y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Three wins on turf (good/good to firm) at up to 11.5f; also went fairly close at this trip on AW in January; respectable third at Bath (2m1f, good to firm; Lusaka second) on return from two-month break last time; might build on that. |

19th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 133y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Made a winning stable debut at Goodwood (1m4f, good to soft) last June but she's now 12lb lower following some lesser efforts; better is needed but any rain will suit. |

Made successful stable debut/reappearance at Goodwood (1m4f, good to soft) in June last year, but now 9lb lower for a reason; others stronger. |

Maiden on the Flat and showed no improvement at Newbury on the switch to this code; opposed. |

Placed on the Flat without winning; should have the stamina for hurdling but unlikely to be good enough here. |

18th May 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Completed a brace when scoring over C&D last September off 4lb lower; has run consistently since and looks capable of winning another race such as this. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 1 (3) |
2nd Feb 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Reliable type who completed a double when scoring over C&D in September and was an eyecatching third behind Magic Runner here (9.4f) last month; should get a decent tow into this race and has claims if he gets the breaks. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 198y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Went back-to-back (1m2f/1m3f on a sound surface) for Charlie Johnston last spring and is now 8lb below the latter winning mark after some lesser efforts for that yard; picked up for 1,000gns in October and is another to keep an eye on in the betting on this stable debut. |

16th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won twice in the spring and now 7lb lower than for the second of them (1m3f, good to firm); little to shout about since May, however, and he needs the drop in class to revive his fortunes. |

1st 6 (1) |
25th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Has several pieces of C&D form, including a success in 2023 and respectable fourth in latest start; competitively handicapped, having gained last three wins off just 1lb lower; enters calculations. |
4/1 |
|
4th 5 (3) |
11th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
All five wins on good or quicker ground, including firm; C&D winner who finished close up behind one who was ahead of her mark in this race last year and she's likely to be primed for this; leading claims for in-form yard. |

26th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Course winner (extended 1m3f) on last April's reappearance; ended that campaign with some lesser efforts but he returns on a feasible mark and can't be discounted. |
8/1 |
|
5th 8 (5) |
20th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Five-time turf winner, the latest over an extended 1m3f at Bath in April; finished second in four of his next five starts but his form has dipped the last twice; should be fully effective on AW and he's one to consider. |
6/1 |
