1st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Captured this prize last year and largely in good form after, despite his customary slow starts; should strip sharper for his reappearance sixth in 5f Newmarket handicap 17 days ago so he's no forlorn hope in refitted cheekpieces. |
8/1 |

14th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Strong traveller who can be slowly away; first handicap win when beating Existent at Goodwood (5f, good) last May; treading water during the summer but he did well when a close third of 21 from a tough draw in the Portland (extended 5f, good) in September and a subsequent Ascot defeat by a well-treated rival was another solid run given the race didn't go his way; claims. |

22nd May 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Ended last season in good form on AW; has done most of her winning on turf but looks weighted to the hilt on reappearance, being still on a career-high mark; seems unlikely to improve aged eight. |

Has recent Windsor form, having posted one of his best efforts this year when third over C&D on penultimate start; infrequent winner, however, and it's two years since his last domestic success. |

16th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
All 2yo races at 5f, winning a Ffos Las novice in July and taking a good step forward when blitzing his rivals in a small-field nursery at Wolverhampton in November; not been missed with an 11lb rise and he will need improvement for the sixth furlong if he is to make it 2-2 on AW. |

6th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Trained by James Evans when winning this race in 2024 off a 5lb higher mark (good to soft); well beaten in it last year but he arrives in good form for his new stable, winning at Ripon in April and not enjoying the cleanest run when fourth at Goodwood 15 days ago; rain won't hurt his chance and he's of obvious interest. |
12/1 |

4th 8 (7) |
22nd May 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Regained the winning thread at Ripon (5f, good) on stable/seasonal debut when 5lb lower and rider took off 7lb; this seems a harder task but he remains well treated on peak form and is a dual winner at Goodwood; enters calculations. |

6th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Better on AW than turf but took advantage of a good opportunity at Yarmouth in April (5f, good); hit with an 8lb rise for that, bringing his turf and AW marks into line; blew the start back at Yarmouth last month but the stewards deemed him a non-runner due to having his head turned as the stalls opened; risky on the back of that and there are other pace influences to contend with today. |
20/1 |

13th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 42y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Had been running well on the AW this winter and wasn't for catching after setting a strong pace over this C&D last month (third has won since); an 8lb rise still leaves him on a fair mark based on his previous form but he does now step back up in grade. |

On a losing run but he got right back on track with fourth of 17 in handicap at Ascot (5f) last month; can go well off an unchanged mark. |

6th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |

Admirable campaigner who is gradually edging down the weights; type to pop up soon but perhaps in a slightly less competitive affair. |
20/1 |
|
3rd 10 (3) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 21y Class 2 |
8st 7lb |
Won three 5f handicaps in 2025; continued to run well on his first three starts this year but he didn't really fire behind a stablemate at Goodwood (5f, good) last time; that took his losing run up to ten and he needs to get back near his best. |

12th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Has registered two wins apiece on AW and turf; back from a break with a near miss at Nottingham and a length defeat at Goodwood, again over 5f on good ground; should run well again from stall 4; has form on all sorts of surfaces. |
5/1 |

5th 10 (8) |
22nd May 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
Has registered two wins apiece on AW and turf; went close at Nottingham (5f, good) most recently; again receives weight all round and may well remain competitive; has bits of C&D form. |
