22nd May 2026 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Didn't seem beaten entirely by the 7.5f trip at Chester on seasonal debut but is still seeking a first success beyond sprint distances; not exactly guaranteed to take advantage of being 1lb below last winning mark. |

9st 0lb |
Useful sprinter, landing soft-ground wins over 6f here and 5f at Yarmouth last summer; has had wind surgery ahead of reappearance; a new trip and a wide stall and are enough reasons to look elsewhere. |

26th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Out of the frame in her last ten starts, but is 4lb lower than when making all over C&D this time last year; by no means written off. |

14th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Her four wins have included one over this C&D (good to soft) and she's now 1lb below the most recent of those successes; left the impression her first start for 192 days was needed when weakening at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 10 days ago and she should appreciate this drop in grade; contender. |

5f-6f winner when trained in Ireland, including on heavy; placed in all four starts for this trainer but needs to pull out a bit more for a first British success. |

Dry since a C&D win in 2023 and has looked on the downgrade in recent times; goes back to cheekpieces from blinkers, minus the tongue-tie again, after four months off; outsider. |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Slowly away and never a threat on all three starts this year, the latest last weekend; being dropped another 2lb can only help but he isn't obviously in good enough form to add to his 2024 success in this. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Slowly away and never a threat both starts this year; dropped only 1lb and others make more appeal; one of three runners for Paul Midgley. |

Reacted well to a belated switch to AW at the end of 2025, winning twice over 5f at Newcastle; behind Sports Coach back there last month but it was his first outing for 104 days so he could be sharper now. |

Good second over C&D in December but that's a rare bright spot in the last few months; others look stronger for win purposes. |

Sole AW win was a 6f novice two years ago; in better form in December than he is now but Stevie Donohoe is 1-1 on him (on turf last summer) so there might be a turnaround. |

9st 7lb |
Still consistent but hasn't won in three years and isn't as good now; just a fair comeback effort over 5f here 12 days ago in second-time cheekpieces (has often worn a visor) but won't mind going back up in trip now he's had a run. |

9th Oct 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Prominent racer; ran well for second at Epsom in July (6f, good to soft); less convincing in his three starts since, albeit latest run on heavy is easy to excuse; risky but not impossible that this first taste of a Class 5 handicap will prompt a revival. |
16/1 |

25th Sep 2024 Heavy 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Prominent racer; ran well for second at Epsom in July (6f, good to soft); less convincing in his two starts since and plenty to prove on this ground; cheekpieces now tried. |

9th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 215y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Made a bold bid when runner-up off a reduced mark at Epsom (6f, good to soft) last month but he failed to beat a rival in a big field at Windsor (behind Supreme King) last time; has something to prove again after that and his last win was over two years ago. |
