20th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |

Absent since finishing fifth over C&D two months ago; 0-10 for current stable but remains well handicapped on historical data; admittedly doesn't seem the force of old. |

Four-time winner who has come down 15lb in the handicap since the start of the season but isn't obviously shaping as if he's about to exploit it. |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Won last season's Great St Wilfrid at Ripon off a 7lb higher mark; didn't run badly at Nottingham (5f, good) on penultimate start and a wide draw offers an excuse at Chester since. |

8th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Won last season's Great St Wilfrid at Ripon off a 5lb higher mark; didn't run badly at Nottingham 12 days ago (5f, good) but he has a double-figure stall to contend with and could prove vulnerable. |
16/1 |

Has a better strike-rate on AW than on turf and has done all his winning over 6f/7f; inconsistent since last success; 0-12 over 5f and doesn't look the answer. |

1st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Completed a 5f AW hat-trick last backend and has continued in fine form this spring, runner-up in 5f Southwell handicap last time; must enter calculations back on turf. |
15/2 |
|
2nd 8 (12) |
21st Mar 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Ended 2025 on the up and he improved again when second in the Listed Hever Stakes at Lingfield four weeks ago; a 3lb rise demands extra but this speedy sort shouldn't be discounted. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 2 (3) |
21st Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Better than ever in late 2025, winning two C&D handicaps before completing his hat-trick at Wolverhampton in November; ran as well as he ever has when second over C&D in December but that defeat off a BHA mark of 96 will need bettering to trouble the principals. |

17th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y |
9st 7lb |
All wins have been at 6f on AW or a sound turf surface but encouraging attempt at today's trip in premier Leopardstown handicap last month, not quite getting home after racing keenly when under 4l off stablemate Rahmi; could go close here if settling better. |
7/2 |

15th Jun 2024 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Regressive 8yo who is yet to add to his Listed AW success in February 2021; did nothing wrong when second under Sam Feilden at Carlisle (6f, good to firm) last month but the forecast rain is unlikely to aid his cause here; younger rivals are preferred. |
9/1 |

20th May 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 182y Class 4 |

Well treated on AW form and soft ground was a possible excuse returned to turf last time; has the ability to win this race but he's on a very long losing run. |

18th Nov 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Has only managed to win two of his last 31 starts, though he got it right when recording his second C&D success last month (four of these behind); had excuses back here last time (blindfold removed late) and he's a big player if things pan out right this time. |

27th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Has eight wins but has become hard to win with for current yard this year, making the frame seven times without success; well-handicapped if he can just turn the corner. |

31st May 2026 Good 0m 6f 60y |

Last win was in late 2024, but was second over 7f at last year's Galway festival and some good AW runs over the winter; has much lower mark on turf. |
14/1 |
|
11th 1 (4) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Without a win since landing two in a row on the Dundalk Polytrack (6f/7f) in late 2024, and below par there in February last time; however, he's produced some positive performances this winter and has edged back down the weights; might not be far away. |
6/1 |
|
8th 4 (5) |
20th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y |
9st 7lb |
Four-time Dundalk winner, most recently over 7f in December 2024 off 94; creditable runs over same trip this winter but below best in first-time cheekpieces in valuable Newcastle handicap on latest; remains high enough in the weights but possibly the pick of the yard's trio of runners. |

11th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Runner-up at Kempton (7f, AW) two starts ago and he has a 9lb lower mark to work with on turf; however, he's been inconsistent this year and his sole turf win (from 15 attempts) came back in 2023. |
8/1 |
|
9th 3 (8) |
11th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Two-time C&D winner; solid efforts in defeat on his last two starts; still feasibly weighted but happiest when dominating and a few of these like to force the pace. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 4 (1) |
2nd Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Seven of his eight wins have come on AW, including two over C&D; only 1lb higher than for his last success in October and he ran for a long way when fourth at Chelmsford 18 days ago; has good draw back at this track and it wouldn't be a surprise if he made a bold bid. |

5th 2 (12) |
14th Feb 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y |
10st 1lb |
Four-time 6f course winner who hinted at a return to form when third of six here four weeks ago; failed to build on that on his most recent visit, though not far behind Sporting Hero in that event. |
11/2 |

9th 3 (8) |
29th Jan 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y |

Four-time C&D winner who hinted at a return to form when third of six 12 days ago; down another 2lb and should be in the mix with useful claimer taking off 5lb. |

9th 6 (12) |
19th Sep 2024 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Should be competitive off this mark and he didn't run badly at Newcastle last week; on the downside, he's another that likes to be on the sharp end and he's drawn wide to boot. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 182y Class 3 |

Promising second on reappearance at Newcastle and better than the bare results suggest since, meeting significant trouble in running in a big field at York last time; could play a major role if getting the breaks. |
11/1 |
|
15th 19 (11) |
13th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Merely fifth on his last two starts, following a very promising second on his reappearance at Newcastle (6f, AW); however, he won this last year (good to firm) and is handicapped to be in the mix if he's back on song. |
14/1 |
|
5th 2 (2) |
2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Not much room for manoeuvre off this mark but has resumed in good form, latterly when inclined to pull hard at Newmarket (6f) in a race not run to suit; usually ridden patiently these days but has made all more than once in the past; a lot may hinge on how things unfold early. |

22nd Aug 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
He has done well since dropped to sprint trips, winning two 6f handicaps on AW (one C&D) in January; career best when second over C&D in May and he ran another good race when second in the Gosforth Park Cup eight weeks ago; 1lb lower today and no obvious reason why he wouldn't go well again. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 4 (6) |
28th Jun 2024 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Won twice over 6f on the AW in January, the latest of those off 9lb lower here; has run well the last twice, including when second of 14 back here (6f) last month, but this is a tough race in which to have his first go at 5f. |
