3rd 7 (8) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
His last win was off 15lb higher but that was on AW in April 2024 and he has mixed record in four runs this year; ran well at Kempton (6f) in March but he was remote when third at Leicester last time and needs to bounce back again after that disappointing effort. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 2 (5) |
13th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Losing turf run goes back four years and he wasn't particularly convincing on grass in the middle months of 2025; however, he is 11lb lower than the latest attempt and his recent AW run at Kempton was quite encouraging; revival on the cards with Rossa Ryan up for the first time. |
5/2 |

3rd 2 (8) |
18th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
His form has deteriorated and he was underwhelming over C&D four weeks ago; however, prior to that he was a close fourth over C&D after a break and this C&D winner is not ruled out off a reduced mark. |

30th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Both wins have come here (6f/7f), the latest two starts ago; kept on for 2l fifth of 12 over C&D last time on her first crack at 1m and can better that performance when getting a stronger gallop, but there are doubts on that score this afternoon. |
12/1 |

5th 7 (7) |
25th Feb 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Snapped losing run of 25 when seen to advantage (pace was contested and it set up for the closers) over 7f here four weeks ago; 4lb rise is of no great concern but tackling 1m for the first time raises a question. |
11/2 |

Won track novice (6f) in May 2023; hasn't scored since despite a declining mark and she needs to bounce back from a poor run last time; down the list. |

21st May 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Three wins in the winter, including over C&D, and he has continued to run well off his revised mark; drawn wide on turf last time and usually gives his running round here, so holds each-way claims. |
12/1 |
|
6th 3 (1) |
9th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 4f 217y Class 5 |

Nine wins on the AW but just 1-28 on turf; fit from a productive winter campaign but he's drawn on the outside and others are more appealing. |

8th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Three wins over C&D in the spring, but last two efforts (albeit in warmer company) leave something to be desired; widest stall to contend with. |

6th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |

Campaigned mostly at shorter; scored three times over 7f at Kempton in the spring; below par over C&D on penultimate outing and has something to prove back at 1m. |

1st Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Well suited by conditions; made a promising stable debut 14 days ago, forcing Em Four to pull out all the stops, and that was after a 702-day absence; has to back it up but he will be a danger to all if he does. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 7 (5) |
18th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
This is his first run since April 2024 and it remains to be seen how much ability he retains; however, the handicapper has given this two-time C&D winner a chance, and he's not ruled out on his first run for John Ryan (has left John Butler); watch the betting. |

27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |

Twice a runner-up over 6f this winter, including here, but he raced too freely in one 7f run and he still has to prove he needs this far. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 7 (10) |
6th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
He has finished second on his last two attempts at this trip, chasing home Hundred Caps at Southwell 17 days ago; 4lb better off with his old rival today; each-way claims. |
8/1 |

2nd 5 (4) |
20th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Ran encouragingly at Lingfield (6f) on belated return to AW and the step up to 7f provides an excuse for subsequent effort; remains well treated on best turf form; possibilities. |

13th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 42y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Had been running well on the AW this winter and wasn't for catching after setting a strong pace over this C&D last month (third has won since); an 8lb rise still leaves him on a fair mark based on his previous form but he does now step back up in grade. |
5/1 |
|
1st 5 (4) |
11th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 42y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Ultra-reliable operator on AW, running another solid race when second to a class-dropper at Wolverhampton (5f; first time visor) last month; lesser strike-rate on turf but he is fully effective on it and he has been given a real chance by the handicapper, dropped 10lb for his last two turf defeats (in Class 3); should go well. |

4th Oct 2024 Heavy 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Her form has been patchy since she won at Nottingham (6f, good) in May but she's now 6lb lower and can also be effective on soft ground; it might be dangerous to rule her out. |
16/1 |
|
14th 5 (16) |
15th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 160y Class 2 |

Ended her losing run at Nottingham in May (6f, good); more modest efforts than good have followed but she's 3lb lower than for the win as a result; stable also run Silent Flame. |
16/1 |

4th 4 (1) |
3rd Sep 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Landed her sixth win on turf when making all at Nottingham (6f, good) in May for today's rider Oliver Searle off 1lb higher mark; beaten five times since, mostly below form, and steps back up to 7f for the first time since August 2022; vulnerable to less exposed rivals. |

1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Multiple AW winner; quirky sort who often starts slowly but he finally got off the mark (in a change of headgear) on turf in 5f Goodwood handicap last month; up 3lb but he can make his presence felt again. |
4/1 |
|
1st 2 (6) |
2nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
All seven wins have been on AW; record of 0-16 on turf but he was only beaten a nose off this mark at Bath (5f, firm) on Monday; has leading claims if he can repeat that form and he's versatile ground-wise; regular hood is removed and cheekpieces return. |
11/4 |
|
2nd 1 (7) |
27th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |

Multiple AW winner; hindered by being hampered on Good Friday last time; 0-15 on turf but ran creditably (finished second) in this race last year; place claims off same mark. |

17th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Ten-time sprint winner who scored at Bath (5f, good) two weeks ago and the quick turnaround may have caused his downfall at Kempton three days later; has claims if he can recapture that penultimate form and his four runs over C&D include a win and two thirds; dangerous. |
7/2 |
|
9th 1 (3) |
8th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Often a front-runner and dual C&D winner who has been in good form lately, including scoring by a neck at Bath (5f, good) on Sunday; has a 4lb penalty for that, but is well drawn to attack and much respected. |
7/2 |
|
1st 5 (7) |
5th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Front-runner; two wins in December and in the money on his last three starts; just 1-15 on turf as opposed to 8-37 on AW; others appeal more for win purposes. |
