16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Wins for Andrew Balding came on Polytrack, latterly off this mark over 1m last summer; a slow start did for him down to 5f last time and, while he doesn't always look the easiest and can lug left, he's capable if things fall his way. |

1st May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Both wins and most of his best RPRs have come on AW but his turf runs have come in stronger company than this; drops to 5f for the first time in his career; others look safer. |

11th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Just one win to his name after 14 starts but he has performed with credit in four runs for his new stable, including second-place finishes at Lingfield (1m, AW) and Doncaster (7f good to soft); hood experiment quickly aborted; should go well again. |

28th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Defied this mark at Chelmsford (7f, AW) last October but he's been out of sorts at Newmarket and Ascot in his two runs this season; now drops back in grade but he's 1-13 on turf and others are more convincing; reapplied visor replaces cheekpieces. |
25/1 |
|
8th 9 (9) |
1st May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Effective in the reapplied cheekpieces but last season's career-best form came once fitted in a visor; needs to be right on his game to win this and that wasn't the case on his Newmarket comeback. |

4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Twice a 7f winner, including from this mark, in 2024; recent AW form has been significantly better than that on turf; cheekpieces now tried but she has a bit to prove on this surface. |
12/1 |
|
8th 3 (10) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Inconsistent but she returned to form with a close third at Lingfield (7f, AW) this month on her third stable start; she's fine at 1m and on turf and can be in the mix if backing up that latest performance. |

9st 6lb |
Multiple 7f-8.5f winner who fared better than seemed likely when dropped to 6f at Redcar (good to firm; half-length second) last week; fighting chance off same mark. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 8 (4) |
25th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
His fine 2025 season was always going to be a tough act to follow and he has generally struggled since his return to action in December; should be well treated but drops to 6f for the first time in his career. |

28th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Won at Southwell (7f, Tapeta) last summer and he posted three solid efforts on AW during the winter; returns for new trainer after three months off but he's effective on turf and seems versatile ground-wise in this sphere; dangerous in first-time cheekpieces. |
12/1 |
|
5th 5 (9) |
27th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Scored at Southwell on debut for current yard and placed on two occasions since; behind a couple of today's rivals at Newcastle last time; chance partly depends on how well he reacts to first-time blinkers. |

13th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Showed ability in each of his three starts last year, most recently when a 1l third of six at Newcastle (7f, AW) in September; has since undergone wind/gelding operations and he's open to further progress now switched to handicap company. |
7/1 |
|
3 (6) |
19th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Both races to date were won by the same horse and he finished closer at Doncaster (7f) last time, beaten 2.5l in a first-time tongue-tie; may need to find more again but that's feasible. |

7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Capitalised on his reduced mark when running away with a 7f handicap at Newmarket three weeks ago (good ground); hit with an 8lb rise but he has had few chances at the trip; untested on slower than good. |
4/1 |
|
1st 3 (4) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Went close off 9lb higher on handicap debut at Chelmsford (6f, AW) last October but his form has gone the wrong way subsequently and he was well beaten at Haydock last month when wearing this headgear combination. |

2nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Ended last season with a success but has contrastingly started this campaign in poor form; hasn't won away from Newmarket since 2022; others preferred. |

8th 5 (4) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Beaten a long way at Leicester three weeks ago on his first run of the season but heavy reappearance defeats have been a recurring theme in his profile; won over C&D (good to soft) on final outing last year and he's also run well here on fast ground; could bounce back with a big run. |

26th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Both wins have come at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW) and was demoted after finishing first past the post there in March; 0-8 on turf, though, and this may be an insufficient test for her. |
13/2 |
|
7th 9 (11) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
0-7 on turf and hanging right on AW has been costly on her last two starts, being demoted from first at Wolverhampton (8.6f) then finishing third at Newcastle (1m; raced mostly alone); however, this front-runner arrives in good heart and has shown promise on grass; could be in the shake-up. |
