9st 9lb |
Pipped So Smart in the final strides at Chepstow in July (5f, good to soft) and he's 2lb better off with that rival today; subsequent Leicester run (6f) less convincing but returning to a stiff 5f should suit, especially with a fast pace looking assured. |

Better with each of his three runs back from almost a year off, latterly on his first crack at this trip a month ago; that gave something to build on off the same mark. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 16y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
Yet to build upon his pleasing seasonal debut in April, but didn't run badly when third of six over C&D (good to soft) eight days ago; 1lb lower now and Ashley Lewis claims his useful 5lb; considered. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 6 (2) |
21st May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 16y Class 4 |
8st 4lb |
C&D (good to soft) winner in August 2024 who won at Lingfield (good to firm) and Ffos Las (again 5f, good) last year; couldn't repeat his win in that Lingfield event 12 days ago and this looks a warmer race than the ones he regularly contests; still not dismissed. |
7/1 |

5th 5 (4) |
9th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 4f 217y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Turned in an excellent effort when winning the corresponding race from stall 1 (14 ran) last May, flying out of the stalls and able to get to the stands' rail after one furlong; also won at Ffos Las in July and both victories were achieved off a higher mark than today's; not at best last time but his reappearance had been encouraging; should make a bold bid. |

31st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Her front-running C&D win last May came off just 1lb lower; ended 2025 quietly but she returned to form after six months off, keeping on well for second at Musselburgh (5f, good) 32 days ago; takes on some less-exposed 3yos but likely to go well. |
7/1 |

2nd 2 (3) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Reappears off the mark she defied at Nottingham (5f, good to firm) last May and has won first time up before; also a creditable third on previous C&D visit; no surprise were she to go well. |
9/1 |
|
9th 3 (6) |
24th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Dual C&D winner who has mainly performed well since winning from 2lb lower at Nottingham (5f, good to firm) in May; possible excuses for her last two defeats and could go well back here. |

16th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Has shown inconsistent form, mostly on AW, this year and ran below par over C&D in most recent turf attempt; far from sure to take advantage of a reduced mark. |
20/1 |
|
5 (7) |
22nd Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Won off 9lb higher at Bath (5.6f) last August but he's been up and down since then and has been well held in last three starts; has plenty to prove again and he's not run over this trip since 2021. |
8/1 |

4th 1 (5) |
11th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Should be making a big impact off this sort of mark but mixed record early in the year and well held, albeit after 164 days off, at Brighton five weeks ago; others look safer. |

6th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Returned to form out of the blue when winning a C&D handicap last month (tongue tied first time); fair effort at Southwell (5f) one week later and he will be happier back up in distance. |
11/4 |
|
4th 1 (5) |
11th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Almost a year off was followed by a couple of inauspicious efforts but he came good at a big price in a first-time tongue-tie at Newcastle (6f, Tapeta) last week; has had consistent spells once hitting form in the past and a 4lb penalty means he's still on a handy mark; big player. |
3/1 |

1st 4 (8) |
4th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Kicked off the season with back-to-back 5f wins at Wolverhampton and Pontefract before being run down by Vince L'Amour over C&D (Hurt You Never third) next time; nowhere near those same levels at Pontefract (ninth of ten) latest, so needs to bounce back. |
9/1 |
|
9th 4 (9) |
22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
He has returned from a six-month break in rude health, winning at Wolverhampton and over C&D (second C&D success) last month and running well in his hat-trick bid at Ripon a fortnight ago; wide draw not ideal for a front-runner but he isn't handicapped out of things; trainer also runs Jojo Rabbit. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 5 (4) |
8th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Returned from six months off with a win at Wolverhampton and he followed up with another narrow success at Pontefract (5f, good) 17 days ago; 3lb higher than for his front-running win last time but remains feasibly treated and is tactically versatile; key player for yard that won this in 2023 and 2025. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Third run back with Tony Carroll when taking advantage of his reduced mark at Bath (5.7f) last Friday and he did it in good style; that gives him a big chance under just a 4lb penalty but he's run with credit at Brighton only once from eight visits. |
9/4 |
|
1st 6 (7) |
22nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Hasn't threatened in two AW runs for new yard this spring but he's now 6lb lower than for his last win in November and two of his three turf wins have come over C&D (good to firm); should get a good tow into this race and he's in the mix back at this track. |
6/1 |
|
4 (7) |
13th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Dual course winner but yet to fire this term, finishing only seventh of nine in 5f Wolverhampton AW handicap last month; has run well in these aids in the past. |
