23rd May 2026 Good To Yielding 0m 6f 0y |
9st 9lb |
Improved on the AW last winter with two wins at this trip (beat City House second occasion); turf return came at Newmarket early this month, showing plenty of pace until weakening final furlong in finishing creditable fourth in very valuable contest; remains on a handy mark compared to AW so has to be respected. |
10/1 |

4th 5 (10) |
2nd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Enough evidence to point to him being a superior performer on AW but that is reflected in a handicap mark that is 9lb lower on grass; that said, it is still 11lb higher than when twice beaten at the Curragh last September and he'll need to leave his turf form well behind if he is to win. |
12/1 |

11th 1 (7) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Inconsistent but talented when trained by Harry Eustace; on the up for his new stable, winning 6f handicaps in fine style last November and in February; could well have more to offer on AW but it will require a mighty performance to defy top weight in this field. |

21st Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Dropped to 5f and sporting blinkers for the first time he produced an impressive display at Newcastle 13 days ago, travelling strongly and looking a cut above Class 6 level; up 6lb against stronger opposition this time but could well have more to offer at the trip. |
5/1 |

1st 2 (2) |
8th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Early promise for Andrew Balding; not so good in 2025 but he is tumbling down the weights and drops in trip with blinkers fitted; still relatively low mileage for a race of this nature. |
10/1 |

21st Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Failed to build on a promising start for Andrew Balding and beaten in a maiden and a claimer in two Irish runs; makes handicap debut for another new yard on first sighting since February; enough to prove. |

20th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Another unexposed 3yo who comes here on the back of a handicap debut success, in his case over this trip at Lingfield (good to firm) six weeks ago; up 7lb but unlikely he's reached his ceiling just yet. |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Useful three-time Flat winner (1m4f/1m5f) and was consistent until getting too high in the weights; his Ludlow run from off the pace was encouraging and he then won comfortably under a more forward ride at Southwell (2m, good; first-time tongue-tie); carries a penalty but has clear claims. |

11th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Three Flat wins for Ed Walker (1m4f/1m5f) and was consistent until getting too high in the weights; never got seriously involved under a patient ride at Ludlow but that run was promising; now tongue tied. |

Three Flat wins for Ed Walker (1m4f/1m5f) and was consistent until getting too high in the weights; should enjoy good ground on hurdle/stable debut and he's of clear interest. |

4th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Faded in a 1m Listed race at Saint-Cloud (heavy) in November; had previously won a novice and a handicap (good) at that trip but the return to 7f worked well for him at Doncaster (soft) in October when he was bumped and later met trouble, only just failing against one on the crest of a wave; that strong form gives him solid claims. |
9/4 |

3 (10) |
24th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 7f 6y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Lightly raced 4yo; campaigned mostly at 1m but his two efforts this term, including when sixth in the Lincoln here, suggest this return to 7f is worth exploring; good second at Doncaster (soft) 12 months ago; possibilities, provided he takes well to first-time headgear. |
9/2 |
|
7th 2 (11) |
27th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 212y Class 2 |
9st 13lb |
Wrapped up a good 3yo campaign with smart effort for second of 12 in 1m Doncaster handicap (soft) last October; couldn't justify favouritism but still made a respectable return to the track when sixth of 22 in the Lincoln there (1m, good to soft) in March; off a further six months since but evidently capable when fresh and remains with untapped potential. |

20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Improver who has won three of his last seven starts including when back from a break at Lingfield (7f, Polytrack) last month; up 4lb for that narrow success but he still looks feasibly treated and his first two wins were at this track; respected. |
13/2 |

1st 7 (2) |
27th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Wins both came off a 3lb lower mark over 1m round Kempton, latterly in January; there's nothing to suggest he's best caught fresh, so he looks to have a bit to overcome back from three months off. |
6/1 |

6th 4 (2) |
21st Jan 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Both wins over C&D, the latest two weeks ago off a 3lb lower mark; up in class this time but certainly not handicapped out of things. |

29th May 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Upped in distance for two wins at Wolverhampton (8.6f/9.4f) early this year, with plenty in hand on second occasion but he was well beaten off this 9lb higher mark in a valuable Newcastle race 11 weeks later; has a little bit more more to prove back on turf as well. |

Won at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) in June on second handicap start and followed up at Doncaster (1m, good to firm); another good run when close fourth at Beverley (8.4f, good) last time and that form has worked out nicely; trainer has won the last two runnings and she could be in the shake-up. |

Failed to build on her debut seventh when only fourth of five in 1m Bath maiden (heavy) ten days ago; in good hands and worth another chance. |
