6th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
C&D scorer but his recent form is far from encouraging, beating only two in 5f Southwell handicap 17 days ago; hood goes back on; work to do. |
14/1 |

20th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Possibly needed latest run (when back from a break); losing sequence is mounting up but this drop in class may do the trick; interesting at this level off 11lb below last winning mark. |

21st Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Needs things to fall just right for him but he is on a lowly mark and some of this summer's form gives him leading claims; wouldn't judge him too harshly on latest Leicester run and he holds each-way claims again. |

1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 34y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Ran twice over C&D last summer and performed with great credit on both occasions, finishing second to Faustus in July and filling the same position one month later; career-best effort when winning at Bath last week (5f, firm); penalty demands more but he can't be discounted. |
7/2 |
|
1st 2 (5) |
26th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Four-time AW winner who broke his turf duck at Chester last July off a 2lb lower mark (5f, good); two respectable efforts here this spring and Finley Marsh replaces an apprentice today; a big run is on the cards. |
13/2 |
|
6th 3 (5) |
4th May 2026 Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |

5f win at Chester (good) last summer came off a 4lb lower mark; encouraging return to action here (5.7f, good) 17 days ago and should go well if building on that first run for 199 days. |

22nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Tapeta specialist but he's hung right before finishing a well-held fifth at Wolverhampton (5f) in his last two starts; continues to edge down the weights but he's 0-13 on turf and has not run in this sphere since last May; others preferred. |
11/2 |
|
5th 7 (7) |
21st Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
8st 6lb |
Four C&D wins (from marks in the 60s); excuses when a closing third over C&D on penultimate start; hung right when three places (over 4l) behind Shalaa Asker subsequently; has won for Kieran O'Neill but needs everything to drop his way. |
12/1 |
|
5th 7 (4) |
4th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Not straightforward (hangs right) but these conditions suit him well and he wasn't beaten far into third here two weeks ago; one of two contenders for Scott Dixon. |

25th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Just 1-20 on turf and below par at Lingfield (7f, good) last Tuesday, but prior to that he finished close-up twice in a row here (6f/7f, good to firm) and he can be bang there if leaving last time behind. |
6/1 |
|
5th 8 (11) |
19th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Won twice on Southwell AW in January and usually thereabouts since but he is 1-19 on turf; should go close but his win record is off-putting. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 9 (8) |
9th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
A dual 6f/7f AW winner in January and he's held his form well since, beaten a head in 6f handicap here two weeks ago; he can go well again nudged up 1lb. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Three 6f wins towards the end of last year (including on good to soft/good to firm); took a step back in the right direction when third of seven at Southwell (7f, AW) last time and may be able to build on that run today; each-way possibilities. |
14/1 |
|
3rd 5 (2) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Three wins (form figures 1121432) for Charlie Clover, ending his time with that trainer with a narrow defeat here (6f) in February; high in the weights for this trainer (0-2) as a result, only ninth of 12 after an early stumble at Kempton (7f) latest. |
10/1 |
|
9th 3 (4) |
8th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Did well in seven starts for Charlie Clover after returning from six months off in October (1121432), but held on his debut for this yard here (6f) a week ago; has never attempted this far before. |

27th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Prolific 5f winner, including over C&D, most recently at Chelmsford in October off 2lb lower; however, he was disappointing back at Chelmsford in February and has a bit to prove this time. |
5/1 |
|
8th 5 (3) |
21st Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Recorded his 11th AW win when narrowly beating Shalaa Asker over C&D in October; been absent since then but he's only 2lb higher than for that last win and he has won after a break in the past; dangerous on return. |

29th May 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Four C&D wins but the latest was back in 2024 and he's struggled a bit here off this sort of mark in recent attempts; has been running well on turf of late, though, and he shouldn't be that far away. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 7 (1) |
22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Made all to win a Class 6 handicap over C&D last month; not so good on his next two starts but returned to his recent best when a close second at Beverley ten days ago; runs off the same mark today and he's ideally drawn to attack; should go well. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 5 (3) |
12th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Scored over C&D (off 1lb higher) last summer and at Pontefract this spring but has proved inconsistent otherwise during that period; no banker to give his running. |

9st 4lb |
6.3f winner in Ireland as a 2yo; down the field in both outings for new stable, latest over C&D when a 66-1 shot; best watched unless the market signals are stronger this time. |
25/1 |

8th 6 (9) |
7th Sep 2024 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Picked up from Ireland, where she won a 6f turf maiden, for 6,000euros last autumn; 80-1, didn't offer a lot from the front on her belated comeback three weeks ago and would want to see some support this time. |
25/1 |

9th 6 (10) |
18th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

6.5f maiden winner (good) when trained in Ireland; beaten just over 3l on her nursery debut when last seen in July 2023; changed hands for 6,000euros last October; resumes for new trainer from 4lb lower mark; check market for clues. |

27th Aug 2025 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |

Has won once in each of the last four seasons, at Pontefract in June this time round; three creditable placings from his other four starts this summer, so he's still a contender. |

2nd 3 (4) |

9st 7lb |
Finds his one race a year, which in 2024 was a C&D 0-70 off 3lb higher (good to firm) on his sole previous course visit; unable to race as prominently as preferred at York latest, and back in calmer waters here. |

18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Runner-up in this race last year and he scored off 1lb lower at Chester (5f, good) last July; never a threat on his reappearance at Lingfield (6f) last month but he pulled hard and this drop back in trip is a positive; usually comes from off the pace and has claims if he gets the breaks. |

27th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 5 |

Won three times over 5f on AW/turf last year; stays 6f perfectly well and can easily be excused his defeat on heavy ground in September but has fitness to prove after a seven-month break. |

Both wins have come at Lingfield (5f, Polytrack), the latest in December; now 1lb lower but she has failed to make the frame in four starts since and attempts this far for the first time; something to prove. |

7th 8 (8) |
2nd Feb 2025 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 4 |

Record of 2-3 over C&D includes a December success when she beat Mc Loven by a neck; something to find on the balance of subsequent form but this return to Lingfield may help. |
