8th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 209y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Can set the pace; twice runner-up at Wolverhampton (1m6f/16.5f) during the winter and a good third of 14 in competitive event at Lingfield (2m, also AW; Tarbat Ness sixth) on Good Friday; turf no problem and he should give a good account. |

3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Often a front-runner; 1lb lower than when twice runner-up at Wolverhampton (1m6f/16.5f) during the winter and didn't enjoy much luck when behind a couple of these there last month, but the outside stall won't make things easy. |
9/1 |

3rd Mar 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 4 |

Front-runner who was well beaten over hurdles last time but had previously twice finished runner-up here (1m6f/16.5f); may be happier back in this sphere, but likely to face competition for the lead. |

29th Mar 2024 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Got back on the scoresheet over C&D (Class 4) last July but he's not really gone on from that and has been well held in his three runs this year; has dipped back below his last winning mark but he's not easy to predict and others are preferred. |
14/1 |

13th Mar 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 4 |

Not at his best on his second start back from a break at Wolverhampton (1m6f, Tapeta) nine days ago, but mainly consistent and is 1lb lower than when runner-up over C&D last September; not dismissed entirely. |

9st 2lb |
Two 1m6f wins on her record, the latest on turf off a 1lb lower mark in June; generally held her form since, third of eight at Chelmsford 11 days ago, but more needed to come out on top here. |

4th 4 |
26th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 116y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Four-time hurdle winner and career-best form to win by 10l at Fontwell two runs ago (2m5f, good to soft); went up 8lb for that and was back down to earth on his return visit when beaten 20l; hard to know entirely what to expect from him. |
100/30 |
|
8th 3 |
14th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 29y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Four-time hurdle winner who rewarded good market support and showed career-best form when drawing clear to score by 10l here (2m5f, good to soft) in March; 8lb rise asks a fair bit of him but the forecast faster ground should not be a problem. |
5/1 |
|
1st 3 |
27th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 164y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Four Flat wins and three over hurdles; has yet to win this season over jumps but two of his three placed efforts came here and he's likely to be a strong contender, for all that last two runs (hurdle/AW) weren't his best. |

31st May 2026 Good 2m 0f 13y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
4-15 for David Simcock; four runs for current yard, absent 582 days before this season's, in which he showed that significant ability remains; needs to build on those performances but going back up from the 1m5f of last two outings should suit and he continues down the weights; case can be made. |
10/1 |

5th 7 (12) |
17th May 2026 Good 1m 5f 16y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
4-15 for David Simcock; absent for 582 days before having two runs for new yard this spring, runs which showed that significant ability remains but he needs to build on those performances. |
16/1 |

3rd 2 (6) |
3rd May 2026 Good 1m 5f 16y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
4-15 for David Simcock; absent for 582 days after a heavy defeat on debut for this yard and last week's comeback run at Musselburgh was just okay (2m, good); others preferred. |

30th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 196y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
5-19 on AW and 0-9 on turf; twice close up over 1m4f on turf last year, including off this mark at Chester, but is also a dual 1m6f winner on AW and has at least one piece of 2m form in that sphere; a case can be made if he's tuned up sufficiently after 259 days off; the market may guide. |
14/1 |

13th Sep 2025 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Below best at York in June and since left David O'Meara for 20,000gns; an assured stayer who is capable off this mark and could have a part to play. |

29th Mar 2026 Good 2m 5f 146y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
5-10 over hurdles, including wins under Freddie Keighley at Fontwell (2m1f) and Taunton (2m3f, good) on two of his last three outings; respected even though he's never raced over this far (he worked his way to the front late on for that 2m3f win) and has been raised another 5lb. |
4/1 |

1st 2 |
26th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 1f 162y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Useful Flat stayer who won his first three starts over hurdles (2m-2m1f) last summer but he's been held back in this sphere in last three runs; mark is falling and he is still unexposed over hurdles but needs to raise his game back in trip; all of his hurdle wins have been on good but he seems versatile ground-wise. |

29th Sep 2024 Heavy 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Won at Bath (soft; acts on heavy) in April and ran respectably most starts since; however, he was a remote seventh behind Miller Spirit over C&D 17 days ago, despite starting favourite at a track he does handle. |
10/1 |
|
7th 6 (8) |
12th Sep 2024 Soft 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Won at Bath (1m3f, soft) in April and has run creditably on most starts since, at up to 1m6f; unlikely to be far away if she handles this track. |
7/1 |
|
5th 1 (5) |
6th Sep 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won here in 2022 but has not fared so well in his three subsequent visits; won at Bath (1m3f, soft) in April and has run creditably over 1m6f in three of his four races since, so has each-way claims. |
