19th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Ended a long losing run in this race last year but he's 0-15 since and has been hard to predict; now 3lb lower than for that last success but he faded at Doncaster last time and he comes with risks attached. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Ended a losing run when the comfortable winner of a 5f handicap at Nottingham last May (5f, good to firm) off a 1lb higher mark; he was returning from a short break when fourth of 13 at Pontefract 17 days ago and that effort can be upgraded as he was wider than ideal as the field turned for home; each-way shout. |

Hold-up sprinter who is on the same mark as when seeing off nine rivals at Nottingham last May (5f, good to firm); in and out afterwards but the return of blinkers should help now back from 138 days off. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Fared well from low draws at this track last year, including for two wins, and she's been close up at other tracks on two of her four starts this year; drawn high this time but has to be seriously considered. |
5/1 |

3rd 3 (10) |
7th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Seven-time winner who was a close second at Southwell on her return to action in March; unable to match that in two runs since but she has too much ability to discount at this level. |
7/2 |

4th 7 (3) |
25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Both turf wins on Brighton's sharp track but she made up plenty of ground when a never-nearer third in this race (good) last year and it wouldn't surprise to see her return to form after a low-key Southwell run last time, having gone close there on her reappearance the time before. |

Successful at Wolverhampton off this mark in March (5f); promising return from seven months off when third to Masterclass at Chelmsford last month and he may prove better suited by today's trip than his old rival. |

All-the-way winner in a first-time eyeshield over C&D last month but diminishing returns over this trip in the same headgear (now discarded) since; has something to prove again and he's drawn out widest of all. |

21st Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Regressive for Dylan Cunha in first half of 2024 and made low-key reappearance for new stable in this grade at Lingfield 12 days ago; entitled to have needed that recent outing but his current ability is hard to gauge. |

Back to winning ways over C&D in November and resumed from four months off with a solid fourth of nine in 1m Kempton handicap 19 days ago; he can go very well with that run under his belt with Simon Walker up. |

Gained his win over 1m2f here last summer and he arrives on the back of two good runs over that trip here; he will need a good pace back at 1m but that seems likely; high on the list. |

6f wins at Newcastle and Lingfield this winter; not at his best at Newcastle (5f; tried in a visor) last month and the return of his usual cheekpieces isn't enough to tempt. |

All wins at 6f up to two years ago but last five successes at 5f, most recently off much the same mark at Wolverhampton before Christmas; has beaten a total of two rivals in his last three starts, however, so more needs to be done back at 6f; cheekpieces refitted in place of a visor. |
