18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Front-runner; two AW wins (5f) last autumn but he returned after a short break with a well-held fifth of eight at Pontefract (5f, good) last month; may have needed that run but his sole turf win was two years ago and others are more persuasive. |

29th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Front-runner; two AW wins (5f) last autumn and he was in good form when last seen in February; not much wiggle room off this mark though and a lower draw would have been preferable too. |

1st May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Second in this race last year before running out the ready winner of a 5f AW handicap at Haydock last May (good to firm) off a 1lb lower mark; made an encouraging return to action at Beverley 16 days ago; each-way shout. |

15th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Pushed the reopposing Smart Vision close at Doncaster last autumn; started last season well (including second in this race on reappearance) and should be on the premises if resuming in similar form. |

25th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 5f 3y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Ran well when second over C&D (soft) last month; respectable efforts twice since but this first experience of heavy going needs to prompt some further progress. |

13th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Two wins on turf last season for Mark Usher (5f/6f) and he's continued to improve for his new yard, winning two in a row on AW earlier this year (5f); not at his best when seventh of 15 back on grass in a recent Listed race at Naas (5f, good) but shaped as though this return to 6f could be a positive; returns to a handicap and remains one to be interested in. |
11/1 |

7th 6 (4) |
27th Apr 2026 Yielding 0m 5f 0y |
9st 9lb |
British raider arrives in terrific form having won back-to-back 5f AW handicaps at Newcastle off 92 and Southwell off 99; effective on good ground; probably needs to improve again on first run in Listed company, but can't be discounted. |
13/2 |

1st 7 (8) |
21st Mar 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Progressive sprinter for Mark Usher; down the field in the Ayr Gold Cup on his stable debut last September but he was back on the up with a comfortable Newcastle success six weeks ago (5f; ridden by Tom Marquand); although visually impressive (good Topspeed figure too), the form has taken some knocks and he will need another career best if he is to defy a 7lb rise. |

28th Aug 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Justified favouritism at Lingfield (6f) last month on AW/handicap debut, edging ahead towards the finish; has progressive RPRs and looks capable of further improvement; respected. |
5/2 |

1st 4 (3) |
23rd Jul 2024 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
350,000gns breeze-up 2yo; could be on a fair mark for handicap debut given the RPR she posted when close up in a 6f maiden at Brighton latest (good to firm; first-time tongue-tie); unraced on the AW but strongly considered. |

Well beaten in 1m Bath handicap 12 days ago and now 0-5; swaps cheekpieces for first-time blinkers here; transformation needed. |

Outclassed in maiden company (5f-1m) at big prices; hard to know what his trip is but handicaps are a better option and headgear is added. |
