1st 7 |
28th Sep 2024 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 2 |
10st 8lb |
A fairly useful 2m3f hurdles winner in May, 2022, who has been in excellent form since returning on the Flat this summer, bagging a third win at Chelmsford (1m6f) nine days ago; he's not taken lightly back in this sphere. |
5/1 |
|
1st 3 (2) |
19th Sep 2024 Standard 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Has returned from nearly two years off in terrific form on the Flat, winning a slowly run race at Lingfield (1m4f, AW) and coming right away at Leicester (1m2f, good to soft) ten days later; good second at Brighton (1m4f) on Tuesday; well handicapped under a penalty if he can keep up the good work after just a two-day break. |
7/4 |

2nd 1 (2) |
17th Sep 2024 Good 1m 3f 198y Class 6 |
10st 4lb |
Mostly hurdling since trained in Britain but he's returned from nearly two years off in terrific form on the Flat, winning on AW (1m4f) on second run back and coming right away at Leicester (1m2f, good to soft) last week; a big rise looms so his claims are very obvious with no penalty. |

26th May 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Four wins last year including one over hurdles and two over this trip on the Flat; just 2lb above his last winning mark, but needs to put a tame effort at Nottingham (1m6f, good) last month behind him. |
14/1 |
|
6th 3 (1) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
An excellent Flat campaign last year yielded three turf wins under Rose Dawes from May to October and he's been in AW/hurdles action this winter; absent 11 weeks but has to be considered seriously. |
11/2 |

9th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 4f 116y Class 4 |

Both hurdle wins have been here, the latest over this trip last April (good; off 3lb lower); three Flat wins since, including on soft ground; should go well. |

9th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Scored over hurdles at Stratford last May but below par on the AW over the winter, beating just one home in 1m2f handicap at Chelmsford in February; more is required after a break in a change of headgear. |
14/1 |
|
7th 1 (7) |
26th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
C&D scorer but she's not proving the easiest to predict of late, tried in a change of headgear when only sixth of eight in 1m handicap here last month; others are preferred. |
12/1 |
|
6th 8 (6) |
15th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
All three of her wins on the Flat have been over 1m2f; failed to beat a rival home at Southwell (1m3f, AW) in November but she ran a better race when fifth of 12 at Wolverhampton (9.5f, AW) 26 days ago; cheekpieces replace the visor but this is the shortest trip she has encountered since July 2023. |

19th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 133y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Well backed when winning here on the AW over 1m4f in December but never featured when beating only one rival home 19 days ago; 0-9 on turf and others are preferred. |
12/1 |

7th 3 (5) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |

Well backed when winning over C&D in December off a 2lb lower mark (ridden by Myla Coppins); the odd solid effort since and he can't be ruled out. |
5/1 |
|
9th 3 (13) |
8th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Not the most consistent, but has won six times on the AW including five over 1m4f/1m5f at Lingfield; has run well here, but stall 13 isn't ideal even over this trip. |

9st 9lb |
Belatedly got off the mark when sporting a first-time hood (kept since) on good to soft over C&D in July; short-headed next time and ran respectably when coming from behind at Bath (heavy) on latest; each-way claims. |

18th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Needed a couple of runs before hitting top gear this season but his close second at Doncaster (1m, good to firm) last month was a good effort and he's still on a workable mark after recent 2lb nudge. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 2 (3) |
25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Took this 12 months ago; not seen after June in 2025 but hinted at a revival on his second run back when seventh of 13 in 1m Thirsk handicap 15 days ago; he's one to be interested in off a 2lb lower mark here. |
9/1 |
|
7th 6 (6) |
10th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Winner over 1m at Doncaster (good to firm) and 1m2f at Ripon (good) last spring; minor late headway on his recent AW reappearance and he's dipped to 1lb below the mark he defied at Ripon. |

9th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Hit the ground running last year, winning twice at Nottingham in April, over 8.5f (good) and 1m2f (good to firm); also scored at Epsom (good to soft) in September and once again made a winning return when picking up an AW handicap here (1m2f) 19 days ago; up 5lb and this is tougher but he's progressive and can't be ignored. |
7/2 |
|
1st 5 (10) |
20th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
A three-time winner (at up to 1m2f) in 2025 but he signed off with a below-par fifth in 1m2f Nottingham handicap in October; has won off a break though. |
9/1 |
|
7 (7) |
2nd Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 50y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
4yo who's come into his own this season with three wins, the first two on a sound surface at this track (1m/1m2f) in April and the latest when coming from the rear at Epsom (1m2f, good to soft) three weeks ago; needed some riding last time and is 5lb higher today but he was strong where it mattered and finished well on top. |

18th May 2026 Good 1m 6f 32y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Five wins on AW, including at Southwell (1m6f) last time; may remain competitive but looks by no means guaranteed to follow up, being 0-15 in Flat turf events; just 1-20 over hurdles. |
6/1 |

1st 3 (2) |
23rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Dual C&D winner; beaten 2l when fourth of six here last month and he was unfortunate not to go even closer when fourth of 12 at Pontefract (1m4f, good to soft; short of room late on) 16 days ago; switches back to the AW with a good chance. |
7/4 |

4th 3 (7) |
7th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 5y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Returned to the Flat with respectable fourth of six at Southwell (1m4f, AW) last month but is still 3lb higher than for narrow AW win last autumn, and his Flat turf strike-rate is 0-14. |

It's now 15 runs since his last success but this course winner posted a solid third of ten over C&D 17 days ago; he's one for the shortlist. |

3rd 7 (1) |
1st Feb 2025 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 6 |

Winner of 12 races under rules including two here, but losing run up to 16 and he ran poorly at this venue (1m4f) a fortnight ago; enough to prove. |
