10yo with a 9-57 record on turf compared to 0-9 (three seconds) on AW; still a force on turf last season (won off 5lb higher) and 2025 reappearance was okay but he took a backward step at Ripon next time. |

8st 11lb |
Has worn these cheekpieces the last twice; inconsistent 9yo who was disappointing at Ayr (1m2f, good) last time but prior to that he was a good second over this C&D (soft) and he's capable bouncing back from a poor run; has won over C&D and is versatile ground-wise; not written off. |

Got back on track in first-time cheekpieces when second of eight in 1m2f Ripon handicap 18 days ago; he needs considering nudged up 1lb with the headgear retained. |

Was having only his second AW start when successful at Newcastle (1m4f, Tapeta) last October and was back off the same mark when third of nine in first-time cheekpieces at Beverley (1m2f, good) last month; still unexposed in this sphere and one to consider back from a short break. |

27th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Rolled back the years with a front-running 1m2f win at Ripon ten days ago; only has a 4lb penalty to deal with and Jake Dickson is good value for his 7lb claim; unlikely to get a soft time of things up front though. |
9/4 |

1st 10 (1) |
17th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Grand veteran striving to maintain his record of winning at least once every year since 2017; not the force of old and although he is down to a career-low mark, this looks a tad too competitive for him nowadays. |
14/1 |
|
9th 10 (11) |
8th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
12-time turf winner including over C&D; hasn't made a serious impact in his two runs (1m) this season but he's now back on last winning mark and could be dangerous back up in trip; one of three runners for the yard. |

Smart on the Flat in his prime but has been pulled up on both starts for this yard over hurdles; hard to fancy. |

9th May 2026 2m 0f 48y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
Smart on the Flat in his prime but struggled off lowly mark on stable/handicap hurdle debut in March (3m1f); may benefit from this steep drop back in trip but still has too much to prove. |
66/1 |

4th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 71y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Won a 1m maiden for Aidan O'Brien back in 2019; hasn't shown a great deal since and probably best watched on stable debut after 341-day break. |

7th Oct 2023 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Record of 3-4 on the AW but has comparable form on turf and ran right up to his best when third over 1m2f at Ayr 16 days ago; C&D winner in August who should be in the thick of it. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 3 (1) |
21st Sep 2023 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Has done well for shrewd current connections and scored at Wolverhampton (9.5f) last time, taking AW record to 3-4; only 1-11 on turf but the win came on most recent attempt in this sphere; steadily progressive and enters calculations. |
11/4 |
|
1st 6 (8) |
7th Sep 2023 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Won his first two starts for this yard at this track, the second of them over C&D; added a Redcar handicap last month and ran another sound race when fourth at Newcastle last week (just in front of Carolus Magnus); should give it another good go. |

Things fell ideally when winning a weak C&D handicap off a 3lb lower mark last autumn; the cheekpieces worn for the first time that day go back on tonight, but two lesser efforts since (one over hurdles) will need forgiving. |

28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 128y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Had plenty of Flat racing and won five times; 0-6 as a hurdler and after his fourth to The Resdev Tyke on Boxing Day he ran no race at Sedgefield; others preferred. |
16/1 |
|
7th 1 |
4th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 178y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Five-time Flat winner who is 0-5 over hurdles but ran pretty well when fourth of 11 at Wetherby (2m, soft) on Boxing Day on his first handicap start in this code; today's extra yardage looks a plus and he's in with a chance. |
11/2 |
|
5th 1 |
27th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 145y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Five-time Flat winner who has taken quite well to hurdling in recent weeks, finishing fourth at Worcester (2m, good to soft) and Kelso (2m, good); may have to settle for another minor prize here, though. |

6th Oct 2023 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Possibly in need of his two runs this season and may bounce back at some stage; however, hasn't progressed from his turf win (off 4lb higher) in summer 2022 and chance partly depends on whether this switch to AW provides a boost. |
16/1 |
|
7th 2 (6) |
23rd Aug 2023 Good To Firm 1m 0f 53y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Appeared to need his belated reappearance and may be back in better form with that outing under his belt; competitively handicapped, having gained sole win off this mark. |
