3rd 2 (5) |
7th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
He was making his seasonal debut when only fifth in this race 12 months ago but he's been kept on the go this winter and has been better than ever; suspicion others will prove better handicapped here though. |

3rd 5 (7) |
7th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 1 |

He has been a fine servant to connections and added wins eight and nine to his tally in 2025, the latest a 1m handicap at Kempton in November; ran as well as he ever has when second to an upwardly mobile 4yo over C&D five weeks ago but even that effort will need bettering in this field. |

4th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Prevailed by a neck from Indalo at Newbury in May; unable to confirm the placings in the Royal Hunt Cup but wasn't disgraced; successful on this card in 2023 (7f handicap) and 2025 (this race); solid claims back here. |

9th 25 (19) |
17th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Has less hidden up his sleeve than others, being a 6yo whose record is 4-24, but he arrives having been better than ever in useful handicaps at Newbury (1m, good) this term; finished second to Linwood on reappearance and weaved his way through to beat Indalo by a neck last time. |

Third in last year's Spring Cup over C&D and fourth in this race; next three starts were good as well and he was better than ever for reappearance second of 24 in the Spring Cup four weeks ago; up just 1lb, a leading player. |

3rd May 2025 Good 1m 1f 197y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Won at Sandown (1m, soft) last May and close second of 17 at York (1m2f, good to firm) in August; made a satisfactory reappearance when seventh at 40-1 in the Lincoln at Doncaster (1m) five weeks ago and is probably effective at this track, so he's one to consider. |

29th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Below best on first and final starts last season but enjoyed a good campaign, winning at Sandown (1m, soft) in May and close second of 17 at York (1m2f, good to soft) in August; should be suited by a strongly run race at this trip and he's an each-way contender if fully tuned up for his return. |

Looked very promising early in career; mixed fortunes since but beaten just a neck at Yarmouth in August last time (1m2f, good to soft; unraced on softer), when clear with unexposed Godolphin winner, and he's not ruled out. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Three-time turf winner who won two in a row at Wolverhampton (8.6f/7f, AW) in March and is 1lb below his last winning mark; he ran okay on his final few starts for the Newland/Insole yard but this 8yo needs something extra on today's stable debut, following 8,500gns sale. |
8/1 |

5th 6 (2) |
2nd Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Dual course winner who scored twice at Wolverhampton (8.6f/7f) in March; hasn't threatened in his last four runs but he was respectable fifth over C&D on Monday; this is a quick turnaround but his last win was off this mark and he could be dangerous if he gets the breaks; cheekpieces reapplied. |
12/1 |

5th 8 (9) |
29th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Ended his losing run at Wolverhampton (8.6f) in March and he did well to follow up over 7f one week later; not quite so good since but he has the ability to go well off this mark; headgear tried last time is now quickly dispensed with. |

4th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Second course success when winning this off 1lb higher on good to firm under Rossa Ryan last year; disappointed on Pontefract reappearance but looked back on form when keeping on from the rear for fourth (Spoken Truth second) of ten in the Zetland Gold Cup at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm) at the end of May; can make a bold bid in this race again. |
11/2 |

4th 1 (6) |
25th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 2 |
9st 13lb |
6yo with only 13 races behind him and ran just three times last year, winning at Sandown (1m2f, good to firm) on the second occasion; 1lb lower than that day but he does need to rebound from a desperate comeback run at Pontefract. |
16/1 |

8th 5 (7) |
21st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 5y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Ran just three times last year, winning at Sandown (1m2f, good to firm) on the second occasion, and soft ground there may not have suited when last seen; also unproven on good to soft; this lightly raced 6yo is capable of having a big say if fully tuned up and handling conditions. |

Five-time turf winner who matched that tally on the AW when landing Kempton handicap (1m) in April; never a threat over that C&D last Thursday and it's been a while since he won off a mark this high. |

7th 3 (4) |
2nd Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Won over C&D in April and he went close on Polytrack and turf in his next two starts; didn't really fire at Newmarket (1m, good) last time but he still looks on a workable mark and has claims if he can get back near best. |

8yo who has been in fine form this spring, winning at Kempton (1m, AW) last month then going close at Lingfield (1m, AW) and Nottingham (1m, good); there's every chance he'll be bang there once more. |
