16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Handicapper hit him hard after he made it 2-2 at Leicester off 7lb lower last month and he's struggled in two runs since; hit and miss now and, while it's possible he'll bounce back, others have more pressing claims. |
16/1 |

8th 4 (10) |
8th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
6yo who hit a personal best with his emphatic win at Leicester (6f, good) last month but he flopped off this revised mark there 12 days later; has won at Ripon but he's not easy to predict and needs to bounce back again after that last run. |
9/1 |

4th 2 (5) |
25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Winner of both C&D starts, in October (good to soft) and when pulling well clear (good) 12 days ago; has won on good to firm so the warm weather shouldn't be a problem but the new 9lb higher mark might be. |

4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Prolific winner at up to 7.5f, on all types of ground; 3lb lower than when last scoring at Beverley last September and, with his trainer among the winners, don't be surprised if he returns to form. |
14/1 |
|
12th 6 (13) |
23rd May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
C&D winner in 2022, with no joy from nine subsequent visits but most of those were over shorter, whereas his last four wins (elsewhere) have been at about 7f; he's now 1lb lower than when making all at Beverley last September and a case can be made. |
40/1 |
|
6th 7 (11) |
8th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
C&D winner in 2023 but all his subsequent wins have come over 7f+; on dangerous mark but he's faded at big prices in both runs this season and latest was over C&D (eighth of 16) three weeks ago; down the list. |

27th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Three-time course winner, the latest when scoring comfortably over 5f last month; easy wins in successive days in early September (good to firm and heavy); now 24lb higher than when starting his winning spree and he will require another career best to overcome latest 11lb rise; certainly can't be ignored though. |

9st 9lb |
Made it 3-3 since the blinkers were added when comfortably accounting for his two rivals over Brighton's extended 5f yesterday (good to firm); carries a double penalty here but he's fine on slow ground and couldn't be in better form. |

27th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Both wins on soft but has useful form on good to firm; has yet to race on this course but he's versatile track-wise and comes here in good form after finishing close up at Hamilton (5f, good) recently; thereabouts. |
3/1 |
|
3rd 2 (1) |
15th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |

Suited by ground softer than good; five-time winner, most recently off current mark over C&D last August; ran respectably at Doncaster on reappearance; in the mix. |
7/1 |
|
5th 17 (13) |
29th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
Has gone well fresh in the past, as when winning a division of this race in 2024 (soft ground); only 2lb higher than when winning at Hamilton last August (first run after wind surgery); failed to beat a rival in his two subsequent runs; unlikely to find it easy dominating in this field. |

30th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 7y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
It's now 16 outings since her last victory but she comes here in good order, fifth of 11 at Ripon (6f) last month; she's one for the shortlist. |
8/1 |
|
5th 3 (8) |
27th Aug 2024 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Beaten on her last 15 starts going back to May 2022 but has often run really well in the interim, including when going close in this last year (good) and when runner-up here (5f, good) three weeks ago in first-time tongue-tie and cheekpieces (both retained); also effective on slow ground; player. |

3rd Oct 2024 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Impressed on his first attempt at 6f, making all to beat 12 rivals at Nottingham in July; not ideally drawn in either run since and he isn't fully exposed as a sprinter just yet; cheekpieces are now added. |
5/1 |
|
6th 2 (6) |
27th Aug 2024 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Won in good style at Nottingham (6f, good) last month on second start back from an absence and first crack at sprinting; failed to back that up at York but didn't run badly and this very lightly raced 5yo retains potential for his powerful connections; no surprise to see a bold show. |
9/2 |
|
8th 3 (11) |
26th Jul 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Low-mileage 5yo who delivered a career-best when dropped to 6f (good ground) at Nottingham three weeks ago, always prominent and strong at the finish; a 7lb rise for that win doesn't look generous but he still has potential at this trip. |

19th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 135y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Three-time AW winner, most recently at Dundalk (7f, AW) in October when trained by Charles Byrnes; third on his stable debut at Chelmsford (7f, AW) in February but he's not built on that in three starts since; unraced on ground slower than good to soft. |
12/1 |

10th 3 (2) |
11th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
A fair 7f winner in Ireland for Charles Byrnes in 2025 but yet to hit top form for his current yard, only eighth in 6f Wolverhampton handicap 29 days ago; needs to take a step forward. |
12/1 |
|
8th 11 (3) |
13th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |

7f AW winner for Charles Byrnes in October; satisfactory start for new stable when third of nine at Chelmsford last month but he was unable to build on it at Kempton 11 days ago; others appeal more. |

Tumbled down the weights last year before undergoing wind surgery; was inclined to pull hard and didn't see it out on his Tapeta comeback, and the suspicion is he'll be back at some point. |

27th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Losing run goes back nearly a year but he might have won over C&D last July but for being hampered and is on a handy mark now; a recent Tapeta run (hood left off, now refitted) suggests a good run is imminent. |

28th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |

Can miss the break and/or pull hard; has performed okay in two runs after a break and each-way claims should he give himself a chance. |

6th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |

Bit unlucky not to win more than once last year and made a fair comeback at Southwell recently; can fluff the start and/or pull hard, however, and it's easy to argue he's more effective over 5f now. |

Unable to justify favouritism on his stable debut at Wolverhampton in November; excuse next time and although he ran respectably at Wolverhampton last month, it wasn't a run that conclusively proved his stamina for 7f; now tried in an eyeshield. |
