1st 11 (6) |
1st May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
8st 10lb |
Won three handicaps on the AW in January 2025 (1m-1m2f) and showed that he's still on a fair mark with a second at Kempton on final run this January; however, this is tougher than he's accustomed to and has to prove himself on turf. |

Reeled off a quick hat-trick last January (1m-1m2f); absent for ten months afterwards and finished well beaten on his reappearance; latest Lingfield run was better and he could be building up to something bigger. |

0-9 but runner-up in four of his last five starts (three over C&D), going down by less than a length on four occasions; up another 1lb but a major player returned here. |

String of solid efforts in Tapeta handicaps this year and he doesn't appear to do anything wrong; has been nudged up another 2lb, though, and will need to find a bit more for the switch from cheekpieces to blinkers, and from the AW to turf. |

20th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Often ran well last year, including on turf, and won at Newcastle (1m, AW) in October; however, he's finished down the field on both outings this season; he may be of greater interest when the blinkers return. |

7th 9 (8) |

8st 11lb |
In good form in blinkers towards the end of last year, winning at Newcastle (1m, AW) in October; however, he has a poor strike-rate and wasn't at his best in cheekpieces at Newcastle (1m, AW) six weeks ago following a break; cheekpieces remain on today. |

12th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 5 |

Maiden who has posted a couple of fifth-place finishes back on turf this term; needs to raise his game somewhat and best form remains on AW. |
10/1 |
|
5th 4 (7) |
20th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |

Nine-race maiden whose form has dipped in three starts for new yard, latest when fifth of nine on return to action at Pontefract (1m, good to soft) 13 days ago; enough to prove. |

2nd Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Campaigned only over 7f-1m; justified favouritism at Newcastle (AW) on seasonal debut, registering a first win since joining current yard; back up 5lb but remains well treated on peak form and he's 2-3 at Pontefract; should remain competitive, provided he stays the new trip. |

9th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Resurgent 8yo who has rattled off a hat-trick on AW this spring including a clearcut win at Wolverhampton (8.6f) last month; this is tougher off 9lb higher but he remains feasibly treated on his old form and is a five-time winner on turf; key player. |
13/2 |
|
1st 3 (2) |
9th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Returned to form when landing a C&D handicap last month and followed up under a 4lb penalty at Lingield (1m) a week later; another 4lb higher here but he can't be dismissed in his bid for the hat-trick. |
2/1 |

1st 2 (6) |

9st 10lb |
Took advantage of a drop in the weights when winning at Wolverhampton last week (8.6f; ridden by Billy Loughnane); 4lb penalty to shoulder but he won off a higher mark as recently as October; one of two solid contenders for Tony Carroll. |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Not far away in one of these big-field C&D races last July; showed at Doncaster that month that he can win on turf and he's not been far away in any of his races this year, so he has place claims. |
16/1 |
|
5th 2 (5) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Last win came on Chelmsford Polytrack (7f; from 4lb lower) last October; kept in decent form (4224243) this year, a sticking-on third at Nottingham (8.5f, good) 12 days ago to Saturday's Ripon scorer Highland Olly; Paul Mulrennan is a noted booking. |
4/1 |

3rd 2 (9) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Consistent in defeat on AW this year, reaching the frame for the sixth outing in succession when fourth of 13 at Southwell (1m) 11 days ago; turf winner last year; likely to be thereabouts. |

27th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
His five wins include one over C&D last May; below his best on his first two starts this year but took a step back in the right direction when a 2l fifth of 12 at Ripon (1m2f, good) 19 days ago; contender. |
9/2 |
|
5th 5 (2) |
8th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Five-time winner, three times at around 1m2f (good/good to firm) last summer; well handicapped on his best form last season but he's been quiet in two runs this spring and needs to rediscover his spark. |
12/1 |
|
6th 3 (9) |
20th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |

Won three times last summer and ran well when placed subsequently; well held when tenth of 12 on his return at Wolverhampton (9.5f, AW) three weeks ago and is still 2lb higher than his last winning mark. |

26th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 192y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Runner-up twice in a row on AW in the winter before two heavy defeats; didn't run badly back on turf at Haydock (1m, good) last month after a break but the AW seems to be his preferred sphere (just 1-15 on grass). |
33/1 |
|
7th 7 (4) |
21st Jun 2025 Good 1m 0f 37y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Four-time AW winner but he was disappointing at Southwell (1m) in his final two runs during the winter; has won on turf but that was a long time ago and he doesn't have a great record when fresh; opposable on return. |
16/1 |
|
11th 4 (6) |
22nd Feb 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |

Disappointing here three weeks ago but he'd been in good form beforehand, second at Wolverhampton and Lingfield around the turn of the year; needs a full revival to win though. |

16th Feb 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Well suited by this C&D but seems to have lost her way since last summer's turf win and was particularly disappointing on her latest outing 16 days ago; needs a good boost from the first-time blinkers. |
16/1 |
|
10th 3 (7) |
31st Jan 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
