1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Multiple AW winner; quirky sort who often starts slowly but he finally got off the mark (in a change of headgear) on turf in 5f Goodwood handicap last month; up 3lb but he can make his presence felt again. |

1st 2 (6) |
2nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
All seven wins have been on AW; record of 0-16 on turf but he was only beaten a nose off this mark at Bath (5f, firm) on Monday; has leading claims if he can repeat that form and he's versatile ground-wise; regular hood is removed and cheekpieces return. |

Multiple AW winner; hindered by being hampered on Good Friday last time; 0-15 on turf but ran creditably (finished second) in this race last year; place claims off same mark. |

Third, beaten 1.25l by Over Spiced, in a C&D handicap three weeks ago; that represented his best turf result but this race will demand an even bigger effort. |
9/1 |

3rd 6 (3) |
4th May 2026 Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
8st 7lb |
Big chance on his AW form but he has finished out of the placings in all nine turf runs; BHA mark is 15lb lower on turf but he's likely to remain vulnerable. |
14/1 |

6th 3 (3) |
21st Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won from a similar mark at Lingfield (5f; 8-1) in November; form levels have dipped since finishing third back there in January, failing to beat a single rival the last twice; is 2-4 over C&D, so it's possible that added cheekpieces can rekindle a spark. |

1st Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y |
9st 2lb |
Three wins in Britain at 5f (twice on AW); placed at Lingfield over the winter before being bought for 14,000gns in February; dropped out quickly after forcing pace on yard debut in Naas handicap last month on soft; probably best watched for now. |

22nd Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 0m 5f 205y |

Three wins in Britain; placed 12 times, including on AW at Lingfield last month; could go well from a career-low mark (marginally) on Irish debut. |

20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Veteran who showed his best form for a while when winning at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) in February; below his best on turf at Goodwood 19 days ago but cannot be overlooked back on AW. |
12/1 |

8th 6 (9) |
1st May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |

Kickstarted 2026 with all-the-way 6f Wolverhampton win in February; up 2lb but this veteran C&D winner can't be discounted after a break. |
6/1 |

1st 3 (7) |
3rd Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |

Four wins in 2025, including over C&D and off this mark; made a pleasing return from 142 days off when fourth over C&D five weeks ago; can take a step forward today. |

1st Jun 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Three wins, and most racing, come over 7f, including when making all on his second start for this yard on Polytrack off 6lb higher in the winter; not at his best lately and, while well drawn, may not get his own way as he likes back down in trip. |
16/1 |

7th 6 (7) |
20th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Made all to win a 7f AW handicap at Lingfield in December, his second start for Mark Loughnane; in and out since that success but no doubt he is handicapped to go well and he has run well over C&D in the past (including finishing second in this race year off 4lb higher); one to consider with Billy Loughnane back in the saddle. |
8/1 |
|
7th 2 (2) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Made all in 7f handicap at Lingfield off 2lb higher in December; some fair efforts in defeat since, including fourth of 11 at Wolverhampton (7f) four weeks ago; this former C&D scorer is handily drawn for a prominent racer; reasons to be positive with Jack Nicholls taking 5lb off. |

1st Jul 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Struggled on turf on two of his last three starts (ran well over 6f here in between) but that hasn't done his mark any harm; a strongly run race at this trip would suit; likely to go well. |
15/2 |

6th 5 (3) |
21st Jun 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Had a productive time on AW over the winter and he's held his form well enough; the only real blip since November came when disappointing at Windsor on his penultimate start which now raises doubts back on turf. |
12/1 |

9 (5) |
1st Jun 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
His form dipped on turf three weeks ago but he was in fine form on AW over the winter, winning twice at Lingfield and going close over C&D last month; perhaps a shade high in the weights for a race as competitive as this one. |

20th Jun 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Often pulled hard for James Tate and has regressed for this yard; better expected a month ago, back on turf after a break following wind surgery, but he lacked the pace to get involved over 5f after ducking right at the start; should fare better. |

18th Apr 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Won 5f novice here last February; handily weighted on the form of some tight finishes over sprint trips later and he appeared to stay 7f well enough on rare attempt at the trip when fourth at Wolverhampton last month; worth giving him the benefit of the doubt that he can do it again. |
10/1 |
|
4th 6 (9) |
17th Mar 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Sole win came in 5f AW novice but he was involved in three tight finishes three times last summer and ran his best race of the winter over 6f here last month; not so good on this track since and has a trip query in only his second 7f handicap, the first since 2yo days. |
14/1 |
