1st Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Multiple Flat/hurdles winner who came back from an absence (after a nasty spill at Plumpton) with encouraging third at Salisbury (good; not clear run) in May; didn't build on that at Goodwood (also 1m6f) this month but he travelled well until soft ground likely got the better of him; drops in trip and he's not ruled out. |

12th Jun 2026 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
11-time winner under rules who made a fine return from 389 days off when third of nine at Salisbury (1m6f, good) last month, looking unfortunate not to go closer; good or faster ground may suit ideally, but he handles soft; respected in his bid to make it 4-5 in Class 4 handicaps on the Flat. |

14th May 2026 Good 1m 6f 44y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Six-time Flat winner who scored a fifth win on turf when taking Sandown handicap (1m6f, good) off 2lb lower in July 2024; also a multiple winner over hurdles who was on the premises when taking heavy last-flight fall at Plumpton just over one year ago; interesting to see how he goes in the market ahead of this comeback. |

29th Sep 2023 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Front-runner; pipped on the post - his third solid run in a row - at Sandown (1m6f Class 3, good) on penultimate start; did too much to soon back on the AW at Wolverhampton next time and, even over this shorter trip, those forcing tactics are tough to deploy at Newcastle; near career-best required. |

9th 8 (2) |
7th Sep 2023 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 3 |
8st 12lb |
Front-runner; just one win to his name but he's been banging at the door of late, missing out by a nose at Sandown (1m6f, good) 18 days ago; this doesn't look overloaded with pace and his rivals would be wise not to give him too much rope. |

7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Had a 1m4f win for Mick Appleby last September and another for Henrietta Knight at Thirsk this April; however, no show in a more competitive race on latest start, has never won over further than 1m4f and, although probably stays 1m6f, his sole attempt at 2m (final start last term) was not persuasive. |
20/1 |

11th 8 (14) |
9th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 211y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Won at Pontefract (1m4f, good to soft) for Mick Appleby last September and bounced back from below-par efforts to end 2025 when making a successful start for the Henrietta Knight stable over 1m4f at Thirsk (good) four weeks ago; did that readily but this looks significantly tougher than that five-runner affair. |

1st 4 (3) |
10th Apr 2026 Good 1m 4f 8y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Won at Pontefract (1m4f, good to soft) in September off just 3lb lower and final three defeats for Mick Appleby were over further; could go well if ready for action after his break. |

3rd Jan 2025 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |

Ran as though something was amiss four weeks ago but is accustomed to stronger races than this and is now 3lb lower than when placed for Joe Bradnam at Kempton (1m3f) in September; player if back on song. |

29th Nov 2024 Good 2m 0f 78y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Probably flattered by his proximity in a tactical novice chase at Cheltenham last month and has since had his limitations exposed in a Grade 2 there; however, he's back at a much more realistic level today and still has plenty of scope to progress from his convincing handicap win at Sedgefield (2m, good to soft) three starts ago. |

11st 4lb |
Won a Class 4 handicap at Sedgefield (2m, good to soft) last month on second chase start and faced tough task when creditable third of four in warm novice contest over C&D (good) last time; this 5yo may have more to offer but others have considerably more substance to their claims. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Built upon pleasing stable debut when coming from off the pace for C&D (good) success under Leah Noreci in May; subsequent 3lb rise ought to be manageable and she can make her presence felt again. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 46y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
A fairly useful 2m4f hurdles winner for Ben Brookhouse; made a promising start for her new yard after eight months off when third of eight over 2m4f at Aintree eight days ago; she should strip sharper here and rates a player off the same mark. |

15th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Runner-up to Masked Dance in this race two years ago and her final two runs of last year were right up there with her best; could easily be a factor if in the same form for new stable after a break. |

19th Aug 2023 Good To Firm 1m 2f 43y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Up and down since making a successful handicap debut at Salisbury last summer (1m, good to firm; four ran); revived in a visor two runs back but that aid now left off and cheekpieces didn't work wonders when tried once before; rain would cast further doubts. |

2nd Jul 2023 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Won four-runner race at Sandown (1m, good to firm) one year ago on handicap debut; three modest shows before creditable second in three-runner race at Salisbury (1m2f, good to firm) two weeks ago with first-time visor; manner of that encourages this move up in trip, on a competitive mark. |

raced in third, hit rail after 3f, outpaced and pushed along 2f out, ridden and went second 1f out, kept on inside final furlong, no match for winner |
