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. |

Has seven wins on turf and is edging closer to another judged on his recent seconds at Bath and Nottingham; should go close. |

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. |

5th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |
8st 5lb |
He has seven course wins to his name but 2025 was disappointing and he's rather been going through the motions on AW this year; not impossible the return to Bath will pique his interest. |

Regressive 8yo who has been unable to exploit his reduced mark this winter; his penultimate C&D fourth wasn't a bad effort but others still make more appeal for win purposes. |

8st 10lb |
Two of her three wins have come at this track and on soft ground; she hasn't beaten a rival in her two starts this season but they were on quick ground and she could prove a different proposition following the recent rain; handy mark and rider's claim useful too. |

Infrequent winner; some promise in the spring but she's gone off the boil more recently; down in the weights but with good reason; cheekpieces now reached for. |

Dual course winner; not firing on all cylinders this season but wasn't beaten far in stronger race than this at Newbury (5f, good) two starts ago and arguably ran better than bare form suggests when a fading eighth over C&D last week; could have a say. |

12th Jun 2023 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Four-race maiden who was fourth of eight on handicap debut here (5f, AW) 11 days ago but he caught the eye with his late headway and could be dangerous in this step back up in trip; one to keep an eye on. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
The latest of his 11 wins was last August off 5lb higher; no win over this far since 2021 but he goes well at this track and, despite recent form, can't be comfortably ruled out. |
10/1 |
|
10th 3 (13) |
22nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Recorded his 11th win when scoring over C&D (firm) last August; well handicapped on that form but he's been up and down this year and was out the back at Windsor two weeks ago; comes with risks attached and he needs to bounce back again. |
16/1 |

7th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |

Slipping down the weights and his latest Lingfield third (5f AW) wasn't a bad effort; today's return to the turf will help and he is the type to come good soon. |

Won two in a row over 6f last May and July (good and good to soft) but he's had just three inconclusive runs this year, again slowly away but finding little and eased at Newmarket 25 days ago; has something to prove. |
