27th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 16y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Dipped into Class 5 company at Newcastle in March and won comfortably (extended 1m4f); two disappointing runs have followed and he now has a point to prove; has run well in two course visits, at least. |

1st May 2026 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 4 |

Won for blinkers first being fitted and did so again for them going back on over C&D two months ago; lacked consistency in recent times and there's not much wiggle room off this mark but he's capable if on a going day. |

8th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
All five wins have been at around 1m2f on good or quicker; last success was off 5lb lower but he reappeared with a fair third in Class 4 event over C&D (good to soft) last month; should go well on this drop back in grade and it would be a positive if the ground dries out. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 10 (1) |
16th Apr 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Down the field on final two runs last season but he may have been ready for a break; on a handy mark based on his form last August and could be a contender for last year's winning yard. |
14/1 |

28th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 4 |

Disappointing at Chester last time but won over the 1m2f there in August and was placed in his next two runs; effective on the AW but others might be better in here. |

11th Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
8st 4lb |
Two 1m2f wins at Ripon (good to soft/soft) this season and he's also effective here and on good ground; however, he's been below par on his last two outings and needs a much bigger performance today. |
25/1 |

13th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Gained fourth Ripon success when making all over 1m2f (soft) in July; 4l second at Chester (1m2f, good) next time and perhaps a drop back to 1m didn't suit when only sixth of seven back at Ripon 19 days ago. |
14/1 |
|
6th 3 (6) |
25th Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Comes into this as good as ever, gaining his fourth course success here (1m2f, soft) last month and finishing second of nine off this mark at Chester (1m2f, good) a week later; he is another for whom dropping in trip poses a question, though. |

15th Oct 2024 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Hasn't had much go right in his last two starts and is best known for his Polytrack exploits, as when successful off 4lb higher at Kempton (1m3f) in April; finished second of 14 over this C&D as a 3yo, though, so certainly one to be interested in. |
11/2 |

8th 1 (11) |
2nd Oct 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
All three wins have been on Polytrack and last two have been off higher marks over C&D; has mixed record since his last success in April but he was creditable fourth of 13 here last time and has claims if he can built on that. |
6/1 |

4th 4 (12) |
25th Sep 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 4 |

Not far behind Ludo's Landing at Beverley before a poor show at Epsom (soft); now 0-13 on turf but he's 3-12 on the AW and that includes a C&D success; nothing wrong with his mark. |

30th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 100y |
11st 12lb |
Three-time winner on the Flat on good/good to firm ground, rated 90; some top runs in defeat over hurdles; beaten a short head at Navan in September and third behind the classy Talk The Talk at Limerick next time; soft ground likely against him at Cheltenham in November; positive return to action on the level at Leopardstown last time when second; big player. |
5/2 |

2nd 2 (8) |
15th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y |
10st 10lb |
Twice a winner over slightly shorter in Bahrain winter before last; bought for 55,000gns last summer and campaigned over hurdles so far by new connections notably touched off in Navan maiden (yielding), too keen and didn't get home on soft at Cheltenham when last seen in November; yard going well, not one to rule out. |

1st Sep 2025 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Career win number 10 when scoring at Beverley (1m2f, soft) in April but he's not matched that form since; now 8lb lower than for that last success but he needs to rediscover his spark. |
14/1 |
|
6th 7 (2) |
25th Aug 2024 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Gained three of his ten wins over this C&D, the latest off 4lb higher on seasonal debut in April; has rather mixed record since and was particularly disappointing when last in action but is versatile regarding ground and can't be ruled out. |
12/1 |
|
6th 8 (7) |
4th Aug 2024 Good To Soft 1m 2f 42y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Veteran who has done most of his winning at Hamilton/Beverley, most recently off 2lb lower in April; form has stagnated since and he's not the percentage call at this venue. |

12st 0lb |
15-race maiden but has competitive form on the Flat and in maiden hurdles; beaten 18l when ninth of 20 in a Down Royal handicap three weeks ago, which wasn't that bad a run; this is far less competitive. |
5/1 |
|

4th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 88y |

2nd Apr 2026 Soft 1m 7f 200y |

Twice runner-up on the Flat in Britain; has managed a couple of decent efforts over hurdles; made no impression on the all-weather at Dundalk when last seen; market will guide on handicap hurdle debut. |

18th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Placed off today's mark at Beverley (8.4f, good to soft) last month and also suited by this C&D but had to settle for fifth when back at Beverley on Tuesday and some of the unexposed 3yos in this line-up look much more interesting; visored last time; usual cheekpieces back on today. |

5th 6 (6) |
12th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Campaigned mostly over middle distances and she's a dual 1m2f winner at Beverley; placed over C&D on penultimate start but the ground was on the slow side; others preferred. |
14/1 |
|
6th 8 (9) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 4f 104y Class 4 |
8st 4lb |
Close third at Beverley (8.5f) 11 days ago and she's won twice there at 1m2f, but her record at 1m3f-1m4f (six races) is less convincing. |
