Winless on turf since July, 2022, and he came in just a fair fifth of eight in 5f Yarmouth handicap last time; more is needed. |

Still seeking a first turf win after 17 attempts and he's struggled on the grass so far this year; others are more convincing. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Gained three 6f wins on the AW last spring but he went off the boil and refused to race in the Ayr Silver Cup on his final outing; hard to see him breaking his turf duck after eight months off. |
25/1 |

20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
He had a very good run on AW in the spring, winning three in a row over 6f, but was last to finish on his latest start in May; it's hard to see him breaking his turf duck off an 18lb higher mark than his most recent defeat on grass in June 2024. |

22nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Nine-time winner who has not scored since September 2024 but he finished well to go close at Catterick (5f, good) last week; looks interesting off same mark and this step back up in trip is a positive. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 7 (4) |
11th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Three-time turf winner who went close at Newcastle (5f, AW) last September and races off 7lb lower today; however, last season ended tamely and this 9yo finished down the field on last month's reappearance. |
7/1 |
|
12th 9 (10) |
24th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Veteran with a better record on AW than turf; 5f on fast ground no problem for him and he has run well after an absence in the past (although not last year); good run wouldn't be a surprise but others appeal more for win purposes. |

16th Feb 2024 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |

Veteran who has run a couple of good races this winter, including his third of eight over C&D ten days ago; a bit more will be needed to record his 11th career success. |

11th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 3 |
8st 10lb |
Her last two wins have come over C&D, the latest off this mark last June (good to firm); bumped into one at Leicester 16 days ago and it was a run that promised better; can't rule out. |
8/1 |

2nd 6 (1) |
25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Should be all the better for her Doncaster reappearance and she's back on the same mark as for her Windsor success (6f, good to firm) last June; however, all her turf wins have come there and at Salisbury and this is the first time she's run on this track. |
9/2 |

29th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |

Has gained all turf wins at Salisbury and Windsor but appears effective at Doncaster, having finished 2l third off 4lb higher in this race on reappearance last year; each-way shout. |

Won by a length under Cara Tuke over C&D last week (good to soft) and escapes a penalty for that; that was a return to form and she can put a sequence of solid efforts together. |

18th Jan 2024 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Made all for clearcut C&D win off 1lb lower in October and did well to finish fourth at Wolverhampton three weeks ago, given he was slowly away and encountered traffic in the straight; could be very hard to catch if he breaks on terms from stall 1 today. |
6/4 |
