13th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Two wins on turf last season for Mark Usher (5f/6f) and he's continued to improve for his new yard, winning two in a row on AW earlier this year (5f); not at his best when seventh of 15 back on grass in a recent Listed race at Naas (5f, good) but shaped as though this return to 6f could be a positive; returns to a handicap and remains one to be interested in. |

9st 9lb |
British raider arrives in terrific form having won back-to-back 5f AW handicaps at Newcastle off 92 and Southwell off 99; effective on good ground; probably needs to improve again on first run in Listed company, but can't be discounted. |
13/2 |

1st 7 (8) |
21st Mar 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Progressive sprinter for Mark Usher; down the field in the Ayr Gold Cup on his stable debut last September but he was back on the up with a comfortable Newcastle success six weeks ago (5f; ridden by Tom Marquand); although visually impressive (good Topspeed figure too), the form has taken some knocks and he will need another career best if he is to defy a 7lb rise. |

22nd May 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
Has registered two wins apiece on AW and turf; went close at Nottingham (5f, good) most recently; again receives weight all round and may well remain competitive; has bits of C&D form. |
13/2 |
|
2nd 10 (2) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 3 |
8st 10lb |
Has returned to AW for two starts this year, better effort when runner-up on reappearance; has gained both turf wins at Windsor but is attractively treated off current mark; could go well. |

17th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Course regular who landed her third race here when making all over C&D (good) in July; similar form when second at Chester (5.5f, soft) last time; player. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 5 (2) |
20th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 5f 110y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Recorded her sixth win when making all at Haydock (5f, good) in July but she's not gone on from that in three runs since; ran respectably at Haydock last time but she looks weighted near her best off this mark and could be vulnerable again. |
13/2 |
|
7 (8) |
5th Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Well beaten over C&D last month but that was a rare start on fast ground; has won here three times, the latest over C&D (good) in July, and she's also won on soft ground; could bounce back with a bold show. |

20th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Still short of his best form but last month's midfield finish at Southwell was a step back in the right direction; 2lb lower today and no surprise to see him in the shake up. |
7/1 |
|

27th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |

Well handicapped on the pick of his form which includes a win here, but he arrives under a cloud; finished last on Sunday and hard to fancy. |

26th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |

Running well in defeat in recent months, including over C&D; should remain competitive but this is a step back up in class. |
6/1 |

3rd 4 (3) |
19th May 2026 Good 0m 4f 217y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Has seven wins on turf and is edging closer to another judged on his recent seconds at Bath and Nottingham; should go close. |
15/2 |

2nd 3 (1) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Made a good return to turf when narrowly denied over 5f at Bath (good) 13 days ago; nudged back up 3lb but remains 1lb below the mark he defied on AW last autumn; needs considering. |

28th Dec 2024 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Ended a losing run when gamely fending off another in-form rival over C&D 11 days ago; 3lb rise is not excessive and this is a weaker race, so he has to feature prominently in calculations. |

19th Aug 2024 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Just one win from 13 starts but that was in a Redcar novice (6f, good) in June and she caught the eye with her strong finish in a Haydock handicap (5f good) last time; only beaten around 2l in that race and she looks interesting back up in trip. |
13/2 |

5th 4 (1) |
20th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
in rear towards far side, hung left when still plenty to do over 1f out, good headway inside final 110yds, not pace to challenge |
14/1 |
|
7th 7 (5) |
4th Jul 2024 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Off the mark at the tenth attempt in a Redcar novice (6f, good) in June last year, but not seen again until fifth of nine on handicap debut at Wetherby (5.5f, good) last month; each-way claims if the run has brought her on. |

3rd Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |

Inconsistent mare; of interest on her best efforts but she appears to need it soft so the rain, which is forecast, will need to arrive in time; absent for 258 days. |
