9st 5lb |
Doubled his winning tally with a game success at Chelmsford (1m2f, Polytrack) 20 days ago; 3lb higher and still needs to prove his stamina over this far, but a major player otherwise. |

Ended last year with a Wolverhampton win (9.4f, Tapeta) but he's finished down the field in two runs at Nottingham (1m2f/8.3f) this spring; wasn't beaten far last time and is effective at 1m2f on Polytrack but others are more persuasive. |

A maiden after eight runs (first four were in France) but responded well to first-time blinkers and ran big race in defeat at Chelmsford (1m2f) last week; obvious contender if in similar form again here. |

Ex-French 5yo; record of 0-6 but she travelled well for a long way when close sixth at Chelmsford (1m2f, AW) in November on her second stable start; 2lb lower back from a break and could be dangerous for in-form yard. |

28th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 6y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Not disgraced in last year's Northern Dancer over C&D (good; likely softer) on sole start here; also won twice at Ascot (good to firm) last term; back to form on last two starts, latterly when beaten 2l at Musselburgh (also 1m4f, good) on Sunday; should make his presence felt. |

9st 11lb |
Won off just 1lb lower at Ascot (1m4f, good to firm) last August, his second win there last year; 0-12 on AW but close third on latest start (first with tongue tied) was up with his best form; should go well. |

25th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
10st 8lb |
All six wins have been on Polytrack and five have been at Lingfield; lost his way in 2025 but he's shown some encouraging signs in classified events this year, including when third here (1m2f) on his penultimate run; has plenty of form over C&D and he could be dangerous off reduced mark. |
12/1 |

8th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Lost his way in 2025 but he's shown some encouraging signs at Lingfield this year, including when third in a classified event (1m2f) last weekend; can miss the break but he's a Polytrack specialist who has possibilities if this sets up for his closing style. |

3rd 6 (6) |
31st Jan 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

Thrown in on best form but has been missing the break of late and couldn't land a blow when fourth over C&D last week; chances hinge on getting away on terms. |

28th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 3f 81y |
10st 4lb |
British challenger; dual-purpose; has won on the AW on the Flat but is 0-10 over hurdles; went close off 1lb lower at Huntingdon (20.5f, soft) in January; ground may have been too lively at Southwell latest; could outrun his odds back on easier ground. |

24th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |

No match for the winner in his last two races over hurdles but both were well handicapped and returning to a longer trip looks the right move; on the shortlist. |

6th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 161y Class 4 |

Flattered by close proximity to one who hacked up at Huntingdon (2m4f, soft) but still ran well; fine over this shorter trip and didn't run too badly on the AW last time. |

29th Apr 2026 Firm 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Four-time winner, most recently in November 2024 at Newmarket (1m1f, good) off a 14lb higher mark than today's; has attracted support since joining this yard and was a close third in a classified event at Wolverhampton 65 days ago; steps back into handicaps with claims. |

23rd Feb 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Scored four times on turf in 2024; on the decline since and 0-13 on AW but he was well backed when a creditable fourth in a C&D classified event ten days ago when just behind Dash Power; big player if he can build on that. |

2nd Jul 2025 Good 1m 2f 17y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Well beaten twice in a row over hurdles this spring and only fifth of seven when back on the Flat at Chelmsford (1m2f, AW) a fortnight ago; however, he won over C&D last August on his sole previous course visit and is well treated on AW form as recent as February; not written off. |

19th Jun 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |

Dual C&D winner (from four runs), latterly off a 1lb lower mark last autumn; said to have stopped quickly when well beaten at a short price over hurdles last month, which leaves him a bit to prove, but he has one of the more experienced jockeys up. |

His four wins have been from 7f-1m2f at Chelmsford, latest in February 2023; good second there in February (1m2f) but he hasn't done as well since, last twice over this trip on turf; others appeal more. |

7th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
C&D winner who scored on turf at Lingfield on his penultimate run and he wasn't suited by a tactical race at Epsom (third of four) last time; only 3lb higher than for that last success and has claims if things go to plan back on AW. |
8/1 |

17th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 17y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
In good form prior to capitalising on the step back up in trip to win at Lingfield (1m2f, good to firm) last month; had just a short head to spare but he's only 3lb higher today and can be bang there once more. |
7/2 |

28th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

Running consistently well in defeat on AW this season, finishing placed at Wolverhampton on last two starts (9.4f); there's every chance this three-time turf winner will be thereabouts. |
