8th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Usually races prominently but came from the rear, having fluffed the start, to dead-heat over C&D (good; subsequently awarded outright win) last summer; now only 1lb above that mark and returns here after respectable run in quite valuable Musselburgh race last month; one to consider. |

14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 5y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Has won twice over hurdles this year and only went down by a head on his return to Flat action last week at Bath (1m6f, good); effective over this shorter trip and looks a good bet to give his running, which can't be said for all of these. |

12th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Of his six wins on the Flat, two have been at this track over 1m4f+; returned to winning ways with Myla Coppins aboard at Goodwood (1m1f, good to soft) last Friday and escapes a penalty as it was a race for apprentices; hasn't raced over a distance this short since his debut six years ago and vulnerable to speedier sorts. |

12th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Went up 20lb for his four wins last season and has found life much tougher this term; fair run last time at Beverley but plenty to find with the winner, Mao Shang Wong. |
25/1 |

4th 2 (2) |
27th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Had a productive time of things in 2025 when the visor went on, winning on four occasions, including over this C&D last June; well beaten on the AW at Newcastle in November and he was too free on his comeback run at Ripon (1m2f, good) 19 days ago; may take a step forward from that but will need to. |

All four wins on AW at Wolverhampton; 0-22 on turf and beaten 24l on reappearance at Newbury (1m4f, good) three weeks ago; hard to fancy. |

9st 7lb |
Notched four Flat wins last year, including over 1m3f here on good; returned from a break to win over hurdles at Uttoxeter (2m, good) this month; only a fair fourth at Aintree since but still respected back on the Flat. |

7th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Seven-race maiden who finished runner-up in two of his six starts on turf in Ireland last summer (both over this trip), but failed to beat a rival on stable debut/reappearance at Wolverhampton (1m4f, Tapeta) last month; something to prove. |
13/2 |

20th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Second at Killarney (1m6f) last summer in two of three Irish handicaps for John Joseph Murphy, trying cheekpieces when short-headed on latest outing (good); off 210 days but this lightly raced AW newcomer needs a second look. |

9st 11lb |
Still seeking first win (0-11) and now 10lb lower than when runner-up at Ffos Las (1m, good; 2-1 favourite) last August; weakened quickly when last of nine on reappearance at Carlisle (1m1f, good) 12 days ago. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y Class 6 |

Ten-race maiden but he ran some good races last season and reappears on a career-low mark; can give a good account if fully tuned up. |

6th Jun 2026 Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
He's shown ability on all three starts, most recently beaten just under 3l when a front-running fourth of 12 at Leicester (1m2f, good to firm; unraced on softer); he's one to consider. |
4/1 |
|
4th 7 (6) |
25th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Has shown ability, albeit without threatening, on his two starts (7f/1m2f, AW/good to firm); improvement is necessary today but he's in good hands and may be able to take a step forward at some point; not discounted. |
