2nd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |

Went close off this mark over C&D in November; good run at Kempton on his penultimate start and he will find this more manageable than the hot Kempton handicap he contested on Friday; respected. |

Two-time C&D winner; has been competitive off this sort of mark in recent months, beaten two noses into third over C&D 24 days ago (blinkered first time); up in class but likely to give it another good go. |

On a losing run but she was in form at a low level earlier in the year, including when third over C&D 119 days ago; cheekpieces now given a go; chance. |

Won handicaps at Southwell (6f, Tapeta) and Kempton (7f, Polytrack) in 2024; has made the frame in both starts since dropped to this level and is frame material again, provided her stamina holds out. |

C&D win in January; doubled his haul with a wide-margin success at Wolverhampton (5f) in July but he has struggled since; this is weaker though and Oisin Murphy is booked. |

Unproven on turf and merely sixth at Wolverhampton (5f, AW) last time; however, six days earlier he won in good style there on his first crack at 5f, and his latest run may have come too soon; retains potential. |

C&D scorer but he's yet to fire in a pair of handicaps over C&D and at Chepstow this season; others appeal more. |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 16y Class 6 |

Doubled his career tally over C&D in September; off five months and shaped as if in need of the run when a fading tenth of 13 in 5f Bath handicap on his return in April; can take a step forward. |

Has run two good races this season, last time getting off the mark on turf at Wetherby (5.5f, good to firm); each-way chance. |

15th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 110y Class 6 |

Well handicapped on his form for Clive Cox; best run for present yard when second at Beverley on reappearance (5f, good to firm; blinkers back on); well drawn and should go well in an ordinary race. |
3/1 |

2nd 10 (3) |
27th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

An AW winner in 2024 for previous yard but he needs to improve on his turf efforts for new connections last year; lack of a recent run is another negative. |

13th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won a 7f handicap here (AW) for Michael Attwater last summer but that is his sole win from 26 starts and he's generally struggled since; comes with risks attached after 165 days off but he needs checking in market for new yard. |
5/1 |

8th 9 (4) |
29th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |

Fourth to Tilsworth Max in a similar event over C&D 19 days ago, form already boosted by the second and third; could face competition for the lead here and others appeal more for win purposes. |

9st 12lb |
All three wins have been on AW and latest was at Chelmsford (6f) in January; now 4lb lower than for that success but he's been tailed off in last two runs (turf/Tapeta) and needs a major revival. |
10/1 |
|
13th 7 (8) |
31st Jul 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Better on AW than turf and wouldn't judge him too harshly on latest Ascot run (reportedly unsuited by the fast ground); 2lb lower than for his Chelmsford win in January (6f); not discounted. |

Two sprint wins this year, including C&D, and she's now 1lb lower than for the second of them; needs to bounce back from two lesser runs though. |

18th Sep 2024 Good 0m 6f 3y Class 5 |

6f winner on Polytrack as 2yo but he's had a poor time of it since the summer of 2024, in handicaps and classified events, and has stamina to prove over new trip. |

Just did enough to win on soft ground at Windsor in April but his form has slumped since, and he was particularly disappointing when tried in blinkers (now removed) this month; arrives here with a point to prove. |

C&D winner for Nigel Tinkler in November; off the mark on turf with a game effort at Windsor last month (Class 5; 6f, soft); slowly away and below par at Bath last week, but he's better than that and looks set to go well with Rossa Ryan back in the saddle. |

Wouldn't judge him harshly on his two turf defeats this summer but even his best AW form needs bettering if he is to come out on top here. |
20/1 |
|
21th 8 (19) |
20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Took a step forward on the AW earlier in the year, at 7f and 6f, but he didn't make his turf debut until never involved in a Listed race at Haydock (7f, good) in May; comes from a line of superb turf sprinters but this is a difficult first handicap on grass, to put it mildly. |
66/1 |
|
7th 4 (6) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 1 |
9st 10lb |
In good form on the AW this year, winning a handicap at Lingfield (7f) in February and running creditably when fourth in similar event at Newcastle (6f) on Good Friday; has shown he's up to Listed level but this is still a warm race in which to be making his debut on grass. |
