1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 34y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Three C&D runs have yielded two wins and a fifth (in Class 3 company); has only run to form once this year, finishing third to Harry Brown at Lingfield (5f, good to firm) last month; below par last time but if he is to revive it is likely to be under these conditions. |

19th May 2026 Good 0m 4f 217y Class 6 |

Has won five times on turf but is not the force of old; has dropped a career-low mark but this race looks too competitive. |

9th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 4f 217y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Front-runner with a C&D win on his record; 6lb lower than when seeing off seven rivals at Newbury last summer (5f, good to firm) but not easily recommended on 2026 evidence and he will find easier races to dominate than this. |

Came from well back when capitalising on reduced mark at Redcar (6f, good) in September, but some way below par at Nottingham next time; others make more appeal. |

Not as good or consistent as he was and does a lot of his racing now over 6f, as when behind Monks Dream (Dark Kestrel fifth) here recently; again only holds each-way claims. |

Dropped to a dangerous mark and his last two efforts have been more encouraging; 7lb better off with Brazilian Rose on last month's C&D run but wouldn't be open to the same progress as that rival. |

Dual C&D winner in 2022; latest success was in a turf handicap at Lingfield off 14lb higher in August last year; mainly disappointing since, including for new yard following wind surgery this term; plenty to prove. |

9st 1lb |
Four C&D wins but the latest was back in 2024 and he's struggled a bit here off this sort of mark in recent attempts; has been running well on turf of late, though, and he shouldn't be that far away. |
8/1 |

22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |

Made all to win a Class 6 handicap over C&D last month; not so good on his next two starts but returned to his recent best when a close second at Beverley ten days ago; runs off the same mark today and he's ideally drawn to attack; should go well. |

Regressive gelding who can pull hard and has hung left a couple of times since returned to turf, including here; most racing over 5f and his record over this trip is hard to enthuse about, for all that this is easier snd he's in a new headgear combination. |

Verdict
Most of these have chances, though some of them are on revival missions. MAY BLOSSOM didn’t get the rub of the green last time after her second at Carlisle and she edges preference. Burj Malinka has fewer questions to answer than most and he’s feared followed by Good Luck Fox.[Alistair Jones]
