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 |
9st 2lb |
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. |

16th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
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. |
6/1 |

2nd 15 (9) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Chased home Ebt's Guard and Urban Lion in this race last year and he's better off at the weights with both; ran a cracker when dropped to 7f for valuable event at Ascot last summer; hasn't been seen for eight months but he'll be dangerous if cherry ripe. |

18th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |

Reserve; made all at Sandown (1m, good to firm) in July and close second of 21 to subsequent Stewards' Cup winner Two Tribes here (7f, good) next time; soundly beaten at Newbury (7f, good to firm) two months ago and needs to bounce back but he's better than that and is not discounted. |

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. |

7th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 5 |

Bagged a pair of 1m handicaps at Chepstow and Sandown last summer; failed to fire on the AW over the winter but yard is going well so he could bounce back returned to turf after a break. |

20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Dual course winner who scored twice at Wolverhampton (7f/8.6f) in March; only 1lb higher than for his last win and he's had excuses with traffic issues and a slow start in last two runs; should get a good tow into this race and has possibilities if he gets the breaks; cheekpieces reapplied. |
12/1 |
|
6th 3 (10) |
6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Two wins and a near-miss to his name in eight starts here and boasts a decent record in the spring down the years, added to when he went in twice at Wolverhampton in March; hit traffic last time and the harder they go the better for him. |
7/1 |

25th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |

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. |
8/1 |
|
9th 5 (8) |
30th Aug 2025 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Got up close home in this race on final start last term (good) and he surged back to form with another C&D win by a neck eight weeks ago (good to firm); a bit below form on his only start on softer than good (good to soft here last July); just 1lb higher than last time and, if the ground is okay, another strong finish from off the pace can't be ruled out. |

9st 9lb |
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. |

2nd 2 (7) |
9th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Ten-time winner split between turf and AW; his last success was at Kempton (1m) last month and he backed that up with a close third under a penalty at Lingfield (Polytrack); did well to hang in there from a wide draw last time and he's respected off same mark back on turf. |

Tended to do his winning in the past in batches, which bodes well under a 4lb penalty for last Monday's Kempton victory; well over two years snice he won off a mark this high and hasn't been at his best in two previous runs here but needs considering. |
