30th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
11st 1lb |
Won a Chester handicap on heavy ground in September 2024 but mainly below form since (finished last of seven over C&D last week); well handicapped but has plenty to prove. |

Poor strike-rate over the last four years and current mark reflects a decline in his form; best watched unless the market speaks positively. |

Went close at Wolverhampton last January and now 8lb lower; however, he's hard to fancy on his recent form and is unproven at this trip. |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
All eight wins have been on good or slower and last six have been over 6f; made it 2-2 in blinkers when beating 16 rivals at Thirsk last month and she ran well again when fourth in hat-trick bid at Nottingham (6f, good) on Wednesday; should be in the thick of things again and it would be a positive if rain arrives. |
7/2 |
|
4th 5 (12) |
3rd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 18y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Had blinkers on for the first time when winning at Redcar (6f, good; has won on soft) last month and followed up at Thirsk (6f, good) 18 days ago, beating 16 rivals; back up another 7lb but can't be dismissed in her bid for the hat-trick. |
15/8 |

1st 14 (12) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
C&D winner; off the mark for the year with a comfortable success at Redcar nine days ago (6f, good; first win on ground without soft in the description); that win came in new blinkers which aren't guaranteed to have the same effect a second time; only 3lb higher today, though, so she has obvious claims if in the same form. |

Two wins in Britain came on a sound surface; regressive since starting his Irish career promisingly with a second placing at the Curragh in the spring; hard to fancy having finished in rear when partnered by Colin Keane last time. |

Two wins in 7f classified events last month; runner-up in his last two completed starts; unseated rider early at Chester on Friday; each-way shout but hardly an unknown quantity. |
8/1 |

12th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Fourth, nearest at the finish, to Hallowed Time in this last year; back with James Owen again and arrives in the midst of a productive spell, recent second-place finishes (visored) to add to earlier wins at Yarmouth and Brighton (7f); can often miss the break though, which isn't ideal at Chester. |
5/1 |

2nd 3 (8) |
8th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Nine of his ten wins have been on turf and he came from off the pace when good second off this mark at Brighton (6f; first-time visor) last month; has claims if he can repeat that form but he's 1-12 on AW and that success was in a claimer. |

11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Resumed winning ways at Pontefract (5f) in June and posted a good second of five over C&D 16 days ago; this C&D winner can go well again nudged up 1lb. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 4 (5) |
25th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Front-runner who won over C&D last August and at Pontefract (5f, good) on June 8 this year; 4l fourth of six at Nottingham (5f, soft) three days later, which may have come too soon; could make a bold bid. |
4/1 |
|
4th 3 (3) |
11th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has course form; 6f and 5f wins have come on a variety of tracks and he's won two of his six 5f runs since having wind surgery, most recently at Pontefract (good; acts well on soft) on Monday; unpenalised for that apprentice win under Oliver Carmichael; leading claims. |

21st Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Not at her best lately but has become dangerously well handicapped, 7lb lower than when winning for the third time over C&D just over a year ago; ran with credit on a couple of occasions back here in the spring and may be worth chancing in the returning blinkers. |
16/1 |

8th 4 (7) |
28th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Four course wins, three of them over this trip, and she's well handicapped on form as recent as March; flopped on turf seven weeks ago but this should be more suitable. |
8/1 |

13th 9 (7) |
11th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won here in 2023 and she scored twice at Wolverhampton (7f/6f, AW) last June; good third at Wolverhampton in March but not at the same level there on either start since and she needs to raise her game. |

7th Jun 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Gained his first turf win since July 2021 when making all at Carlisle nine days ago (6f, good to soft); a 6lb rise for that win looks stiff given he's thoroughly exposed but he's drawn 8 and should be able to grab the rail which has been a huge advantage at recent meetings; key player. |

Bounced back to form at Leicester (5f, good to firm) but beat only two rivals and has gone back up 5lb for that win; returns to a deeper field, albeit has landed the plum draw. |

25th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Scored off today's mark over 5f on Tapeta in November and is also suited by fast turf but returned from four-month break with disappointing 6f run 19 days ago and needs to have taken significant benefit from that outing. |

9st 6lb |
Drawn wide when winning this race 12 months ago off a 1lb higher mark; not hit top gear yet in 2026 but this should be run to suit him and a revival would come as no surprise. |
8/1 |

9th 6 (8) |
6th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Three of his four wins on AW have been over 5f at this track; has pulled too hard to give himself a chance in his two runs this year; needs revival on return to this track. |
7/1 |

7th 11 (5) |
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. |

9st 1lb |
Five wins include one on AW, over C&D in late 2024; beaten under a length three times on turf in 2025 and he wasn't far away in a recent C&D classified event after a short break; weights chance back in a handicap. |

3rd 7 (7) |
5th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |

Multiple turf sprint and C&D winner; losing run stands at 18 starts and although he went close on turf at Redcar in November, he was below par in two AW starts since. |
16/1 |

6 (8) |
18th Nov 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Close second at Redcar last time; 0-15 this year and ran poorly in last four AW attempts but defied a 10lb higher mark at Southwell a year ago; very attractively handicapped and enters calculations. |
