Three wins for two previous yards and the first for this one when winning narrowly at Newmarket (6f, good) in September, following a protracted slog with the runner-up; comes here fit from the AW but he'll need a bit extra to win in a higher grade than at Newmarket. |

Yard among the winners of late and this mare made a pleasing C&D comeback early in the month, especially given she hit traffic; entitled to have come on for that first run in six months and goes on the shortlist. |

1st May 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Heavy ground excuses her low-key end to 2025 and she ran a series of good races, including a win at Hamilton when first tried in blinkers; whether first time out is the time to catch her remains to be seen but interesting that a tongue-tie goes on for her return. |

The pick of her form is a fourth in a Gowran handicap from a 13lb higher mark in June last year; her runs since then have been poor and she was last seen finishing a 32l ninth of 11 at Clonmel in May; cheeckpieces go on but they need to spark huge improvement. |

Nothing wrong with his C&D second a month ago and was unlucky back on turf last time (same Bath handicap he won last season), when hitting plenty of traffic; will rightly be popular. |
3/1 |

6th 2 (6) |
22nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won this race (firm) last year and he scored off 1lb lower at Kempton in the autumn; has remained in good form on AW this year and he chased home an improver at Lingfield (6f) last month; should get a good pace back on turf and he's a big player back at this track. |

5yo who has had several different stables during his light career; well beaten at Galway last autumn on final two outings but he's well worth a second look today given he's 2-2 on AW, the latest of those wins coming over C&D last February; makes stable debut with new trainer's horses running well. |
