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. |

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. |

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. |

Thriving in 2026 and he gamely made all when completing a hat-trick in 2m Goodwood handicap ten days ago; up another 2lb but this likeable dual C&D scorer is a big player once more. |

Four AW wins since December and she completed a double in good style at Lingfield (2m) last month; 7lb higher back on turf but that was a clear personal best last time and she's unexposed in this sphere; respected. |

Scored over C&D last May for Brian Ellison; yet to fire for his new yard in handicaps at Wolverhampton (1m4f) and Lingfield (2m) this spring though. |

12th May 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
A fair 1m6f scorer for Brian Ellison in 2025; beat only one for his new handler after seven months off in 1m4f handicap at Wolverhampton last month; needs to take a big step forward. |
16/1 |

6th 7 (3) |
4th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 4 |

Debuts for a fourth yard having been picked up from Brian Ellison last autumn for 7,500gns; won first time out as a 2yo and on his comeback last spring, which gives hope, but there's not much room for manoeuvre off this mark. |

Three Class 5 C&D wins, the latest by a nose on penultimate start; ran respectably in a Class 2 C&D contest (fourth, 16-1) latest; likely to give his best, although others make more appeal. |

9st 12lb |
Won twice last year, including over 12.5f here, but his losing run is beginning to mount up; now 6lb below his last winning mark but not easy to recommend after a heavy defeat over C&D one month ago. |

10th Dec 2024 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Knows how to win as he showed when successful from four rivals at Wolverhampton (1m6f, Tapeta) last month, but he was allowed to dictate there and didn't back it up at Lingfield (2m, Polytrack) a week ago (has won over that C&D); needs to bounce back. |

Recorded his sixth win when making all to justify favouritism off reduced mark at Wolverhampton (1m6f) 18 days ago; this is a deeper race but he's only 2lb higher than last time and has won over C&D in the past; could be a major force again. |

21st Aug 2025 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Overall record of 1-19 but his win was off 2lb lower at Kempton (2m, AW) in June and he's posted some creditable efforts since; finished a remote second on turf here (1m5f, good) last time but that was behind a major improver and he's respected back up in trip; cheekpieces added. |
5/1 |

9th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Sole success in 18 starts under rules came at Kempton (2m, AW) last month, but he does act on turf and the form of his latest fifth of eight at Ffos Las (2m, good to soft) is working out quite well; best form would give him a chance. |

8st 6lb |
10yo who's 2-55, with last win in 2022; well handicapped on some 1m6f form last term and probably needed recent run, but whether he can be competitive at this trip nowadays remains to be seen. |

Only 2-54 and a long time has passed since that second success; well handicapped on some form over 1m6f last season but he was up and down last year and he doesn't have a great record when fresh; others preferred. |

4th Nov 2025 Good To Soft 1m 5f 218y Class 5 |

Only 2-53 and a long time has passed since that second success; however, he had been knocking on the door until a near 10l defeat at Doncaster; couldn't be ruled out. |
