20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Drawn away from the action on his return to turf but was then said to have been unsuited by the undulations of Catterick last time, which would be a concern round here; 2lb above his last winning mark and has a bit to prove back from a short break. |

Two AW wins last year; didn't run badly in a stronger handicap at Doncaster ten days ago (not well drawn as things panned out); each-way shout going back around a left-hand bend. |

20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
C&D winner this time last year who bounced back to form off 6lb lower on the Rowley Mile five weeks ago; not been this high in the weights for a good while but having Jack Callan (second ride for the yard) take off 3lb will help and he's high on the shortlist. |

1st 6 (9) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Won at Kempton (6f, AW) last month and second of 11 at Windsor (6f, good to firm) next time; this in-form 6yo is one to consider. |

4th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |

Generally in good form on AW since December and regained the winning thread at Kempton (6f) most recently; goes without usual cheekpieces but that was also the case when he scored over C&D (off 2lb higher) in 2024; warrants respect. |

20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Only turf win came off a much lower mark more than two years ago and he remains weighted to his AW best after a couple of no-shows at Yarmouth last month; some way down the pecking order. |
16/1 |

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. |

20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Highly tried after a successful debut last year; never involved upped to 1m last time, having made a solid comeback over 7f, and the drop to sprinting would suggest stamina may have been the issue; one to consider down another 2lb. |
8/1 |

8th 7 (12) |
16th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Filly whose Newbury record features her debut success last July (6f) and creditable fifth on handicap/seasonal debut (7f, good; Class 2); in the mix, provided she stays this new trip. |
14/1 |

5th 9 (2) |
17th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |

Ready winner of a 6f fillies' maiden here on debut last July; came up short in stronger company in three subsequent runs (5f-7f); absent for 237 days and she returns in a warm handicap; stable also runs Tamashal. |

20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
625,000gns yearling who offered bits of promise in three runs in a hood last autumn; very easy to back ahead of her handicap debut four weeks ago but won well and remains open to improvement upped 7lb. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Hooded all three starts last term; best effort when second at Kempton (6f, AW) in September; opening mark looks a little punchy ahead of her handicap debut/reappearance but pedigree offers plenty of hope she'll do better this season. |
14/1 |

6th 2 (7) |
23rd Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |

Twice-raced filly who ran well behind a clearcut winner at Kempton (6f) switched to AW last time and could take another step forward; possibilities. |

20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Had a couple of wide stalls to deal with over 7f on the AW lately and may yet have more to offer as a sprinter; interesting to see how he goes in the market, back from nine months off, for a yard also responsible for Expert Agent. |

11th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Looked one to follow when producing a dominant display at Lingfield in June (6f, AW; second handicap run); only third behind H Key Lails over C&D next time but ran well for third at Windsor (6f, good to firm) in June; not seen to best effect on his stable debut last month but he's not fully exposed and could have a bigger run in him; stable form is hard to fault. |
6/1 |

12th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Clear winner of first AW handicap (6f) here then finished a close third over 7f at Chelmsford under a penalty before keeping on quite nicely when third of eight at Windsor (6f) in June; left George Boughey for 42,000gns since; now tongue tied; interesting for new yard. |

20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Didn't look to see it out on his final two runs last year and 7f has again looked beyond him the past twice, off the back of a solid AW comeback off 2lb higher; today's stiff 6f should be more up his street and he's worth a second look. |
12/1 |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Proved his effectiveness over 7f when fifth of ten at Ascot (good ground) two weeks ago; others have more obvious potential but first-time cheekpieces could give him a boost. |
14/1 |

5th 9 (4) |
8th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
Best 2yo form when winning a 6f novice at Goodwood last May and he was back near that level when a keeping-on third of eight on Kempton AW (6f) in April; heavy ground was probably against him when well held in his only 7f run but he still has stamina to prove and in tough company, too. |

Improved a touch on last summer's runner-up efforts, back from gelding and wind operations, when winning an ordinary-looking Newbury maiden early in the month; lightly raced still but will find this tougher now handicapping. |

1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Second over C&D on last July's debut and he filled the same spot at Wolverhampton one month later; gelded and had a wind op since last seen; should be in the thick of it. |

10th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |

125,000euros 2yo breeze-up purchase; 6-1 when beaten less than a length into second of six on his Newbury debut (6f, good to firm) last month; half-brother to an AW winner in Italy and open to improvement; holds a Group 2 Mill Reef Stakes entry. |

20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Best efforts last year came from the front but she had no chance of leading on her comeback behind Bintola four weeks ago thanks to a slow start; should do better then, but she was a big price at Windsor and is fully exposed now. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Made all in Yarmouth nursery (6f, good; handicap debut) in October but raced freely before weakening over 7f nine days later; that's easily forgiven and she's not ruled out on this return. |

3 (9) |
22nd Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Made all in Yarmouth nursery (6f, good) last week, opening her account; has to overcome a 6lb penalty and possibly isn't crying out for the return to 7f (second attempt). |
8/1 |
