2nd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Stable star who runs in this race for the fourth time, recording best results when second in 2024 and third in 2023; went without a win in 2025 but the ability was still intact, second in the Portland (5.6f, good) and an Ascot Group 3 (6f, soft); faced some stiff tasks in the Middle East this year but his second in a Listed race at Jebel Ali (5f, dirt) was promising, finishing with a flourish for second; fair mark back on grass; should run well. |
16/1 |

2nd 3 (5) |
4th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
A very popular winner of this race (soft) last year, following some staunch efforts in top 6f handicaps; was back in familiar territory when a close second of 21 in the Portland at Doncaster (about 5f, good) in September, as he had been 12 months ago, and a bold bid is very much on the cards. |

13th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 143y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Has gone close in a host of top sprint handicaps, including when beaten a nose in a strong running of this race 12 months ago; he'd be a leading contender in that sort of form but this season has been underwhelming and he faded into last of nine in a Listed race three weeks ago; needs a revival. |

Her losing run stands at 26 but that doesn't do her justice as she's an admirable mare who has run numerous good races since that latest success; good third against male opposition at Newcastle four weeks ago; should get a good pace to aim at and more prize money would seem likely. |

10st 3lb |
Overcame a wide trip to score at Kempton (AW) last week, benefiting from the return to this grade and belated step up to 7f; now 3-6 in Class 4 events and remains unexposed at this distance; 5lb penalty is largely offset by Frederick Larson's useful claim; respected. |

Yet to score in 2022 but he's knocking on the door, edged out when runner-up in 6f Lingfield handicap eight days ago; he's firmly in the picture off the same mark. |

Prominent racer; on a losing run but he has slipped down the weights and recent efforts have been encouraging; might face competition for the lead this time but capable of a big effort. |

28th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |

Five visits here have resulted in three wins and two places, all at 6f; made an encouraging return when fourth of nine at Ripon three weeks ago and he's slipped to a dangerous mark; tempting. |
6/1 |
|
4th 6 (6) |
8th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
All of his four wins have been at Yarmouth (6f, good/good to firm) and latest was in September 2024; well treated on old form but he had a mixed record last season and was well held in the autumn on his final two runs; has a bit to prove after six months off and others are preferred. |
12/1 |

3 (4) |
12th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
7yo who has run some good races in defeat this season, finishing third of 17 at Ripon (6f, good to firm) in August and 3l second of five at Yarmouth (6f, good to soft) last time; this front-runner can make a bold bid. |

Won last season's Great St Wilfrid at Ripon off a 7lb higher mark; didn't run badly at Nottingham (5f, good) on penultimate start and a wide draw offers an excuse at Chester since. |

Won last season's Great St Wilfrid at Ripon off a 5lb higher mark; didn't run badly at Nottingham 12 days ago (5f, good) but he has a double-figure stall to contend with and could prove vulnerable. |

31st May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Soundly beaten behind Dark Thirty and others at York (6f, good) last time but his high draw proved to be a negative; won at Leicester (6f, good to firm) two starts ago and he could bounce back today and be involved. |
9/1 |
|
10th 17 (17) |
13th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Reappeared with close third at Newcastle (6f, AW) last month then snapped a losing run when winning at Leicester (6f, good to firm); there's still mileage in his mark judged on old form (including two C&D wins); chance. |
14/1 |

1st 12 (8) |
25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

On lengthy losing but he's a smart handicapper on his day and he returned from five months off with a good third at Newcastle (6f, AW) two weeks ago; should benefit from that run and he remains well treated on his second in the Stewards' Cup last August; interesting contender. |

Too headstrong in a clear lead at Southwell (7f) last time, so did fairly well to be beaten only 2l in the end; gained last win off 10lb higher at Newcastle in August 2024; fighting chance provided he settles. |
10/1 |

23rd Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |

Well treated on last year's high points and it wasn't a bad run from off the pace at Chelmsford 12 days ago, given how that race panned out (pulled hard/got behind/found trouble); the cheekpieces are worth persevering with. |
4/1 |

13th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |

Well suited by York and went close there in June; inconsistent otherwise during a 2025 campaign that has been markedly less productive than 2024; cheekpieces refitted for the first time since 2022; opposed. |

9st 3lb |
Regained the winning thread at Ripon (5f, good) on stable/seasonal debut when 5lb lower and rider took off 7lb; this seems a harder task but he remains well treated on peak form and is a dual winner at Goodwood; enters calculations. |
9/2 |

25th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |

Ten-time winner down the years for James Evans; drew a blank in 2025 but runner-up twice off marks in the 90s, including reappearance, so well treated starting out for Tony Carroll (same owners); interesting to see what the betting makes of him. |
14/1 |

20th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Won over C&D (good to firm) last August and twice went close over C&D earlier this year (good); versatile ground-wise; he's gone off the boil more recently but perhaps the first-time blinkers (replacing cheekpieces) and the return to this track will prompt a revival; on a reduced mark. |

On the downgrade since returning from eight months off and is now 13lb lower than when winning early last year; the drop from 1m should help, given a go in a second-time visor, but others are more likely. |

Both course wins have come over 1m, but he is just as effective over shorter trips and has dropped 9lb lower than when gaining his latest success at Kempton (6f, Polytrack) just over a year ago; not at his best in four starts since returning from 228 days off in November, though. |
