16th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Won in first-time cheekpieces (retained since) at Lingfield (1m, AW) last month but not at the same level at Epsom (8.5f, good) and Kempton (7f, AW) since, and needs to get back on track. |
20/1 |

6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Added to a good record in the spring when winning off 2lb lower at Lingfield (1m) last month in first-time cheekpieces; a long way below that level on turf since and this trip is a bare minimum round here, especially from a wide stall. |
16/1 |

9th 5 (5) |
28th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 113y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
7f nursery winner here (good; has won on good to firm) in 2023; landed seventh AW win when scoring at Lingfield (1m; first-time cheekpieces, retained) a fortnight ago; has won off higher marks than this and must be considered on his return to turf. |

1st Oct 2023 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Entitled to win a C&D novice (on soft; made all) in August and it was always going to be tough for him in a very deep nursery at York's Ebor meeting (form working out very well); on a challenging mark but should be a factor. |
12/1 |
|
17th 7 (18) |
24th Aug 2023 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Made his experience count when making all in 7f Epsom novice (soft) three weeks ago; the runner-up gave that form a boost when scoring with something to spare at Ripon last weekend; stall 18 might not be ideal, though. |
16/1 |
|
1st 6 (5) |
3rd Aug 2023 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Runner-up to an impressive winner in maiden at Sandown (7f, good; unraced on softer) in June; couldn't crack it at the fourth attempt when making the running over 6f at Salisbury (good to firm) 12 days later but he's narrowly the form pick in this field and has some experience of this track from his second outing. |

26th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
22nd time lucky when landing a 9.4f handicap at Wolverhampton in December; three good runs at Bath this spring, most recently a close third over C&D on Friday; another big run on the cards. |
3/1 |
|
3rd 5 (12) |
22nd May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Record of 1-26 but her win was at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) in December and she's finished placed at this track (1m/1m2f) in last two runs; did well to hang in there after getting pestered for the lead last time and she should go well again back in trip. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 2 (6) |
27th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
AW winner for current yard (maiden previously); ran respectably (1m, good to soft) on seasonal debut, taking Bath record to 333; has form over 1m2f; looks a solid contender. |

16th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Tough and consistent sort who won the C&D Spring Cup on 2025 reappearance but couldn't get a clear run in it this time round; third in this race last year and 9lb higher today but he's an each-way contender. |
10/1 |
|
18th 3 (11) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Tough and consistent sort who won this race (good ground) on his reappearance 12 months ago and finished second in the Balmoral Handicap at Ascot in the autumn; starts the new season on a career-high mark but he's impossible to rule out. |
16/1 |
|
2nd 3 (6) |
29th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 0f 75y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Acts on soft; has mostly run well in warm 7f/1m handicaps this season, never better than when dead-heating for second in a valuable event at Ascot 11 days ago; this first Listed assignment makes for a different scenario but he has the form to be not far away. |

20th Jan 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Drawn a blank since his Ffos Las nursery win (6f) in September 2023; big prices and well beaten in four runs for John Butler but he ran better than the distance beaten at Lingfield 17 days ago (forced a strong pace and weakened quickly in the final furlong); tumbling down the weights and he needs a close look in the betting now back sprinting. |

9st 1lb |
Yet to add to 6f turf win for Jack Channon in September 2023 and was safely held on all three starts for John Butler in the autumn (7f-1m); lurks on a dangerous mark though and needs a check in the betting. |

1st Oct 2023 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
All runs on good or quicker; debut winner who bumped into one on her nursery debut at Windsor (6f) and then drifted her way out of contention when a beaten favourite at Goodwood; on a dangerous mark and the tongue-tie could make a difference to her. |
5/1 |

4th 2 (1) |
5th Sep 2023 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Made a winning debut at Windsor (6f, good) in June; placed in both starts since, bumping into one who went on to win a nursery at the Ebor meeting when second back at Windsor 19 days ago; unraced on slower than good; open to further progress. |

1st Oct 2023 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Would be on a good mark if recapturing the form of his Ripon win in June (6f, good); struggled since, last time finishing upside Rednblue Sovereign in a hot York nursery (cheekpieces tried there now left off); this is easier than that. |
16/1 |
|
16th 8 (5) |
24th Aug 2023 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Easy winner of a 6f novice at Ripon (good) in June; fourth under a penalty at Pontefract and well held when 50-1 for an Ascot Listed race (7f, good) on his two outings since but his mark is feasible if first-time cheekpieces help him to recapture the Ripon form. |

4th Oct 2024 Heavy 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Lightly raced 3yo who returned to form when going close at Bath (1m, good) last month; has also run well on good to yielding ground (unraced on softer); can be in the mix if backing up that latest performance. |

14th Aug 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Having dropped in the weights he made an immediate impact on AW in February, recording a quick hat-trick in 1m handicaps at Newcastle, Lingfield and Wolverhampton; career-best effort when second in a 1m handicap at Newcastle last month but his form dipped at Wolverhampton 13 days ago; drawn widest and could prove vulnerable. |
10/1 |
|
10th 3 (4) |
1st Aug 2024 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Appeared to lose his way after completing an AW hat-trick at the start of the year (including a win over C&D), but he bounced right back to form when beaten half a length into second of 13 at Newcastle (1m, Tapeta) last Saturday; off the same mark (due a 1lb rise) and major chance if repeating that effort; stable also runs Never Fear. |
9/1 |
|
2nd 11 (3) |
27th Jul 2024 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Landed a hat-trick early in the year, including a win over C&D, but has lost his way since, latterly when tailed off in first-time headgear (removed today) seven weeks ago; isn't easily recommended. |
