30th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 196y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
5-19 on AW and 0-9 on turf; twice close up over 1m4f on turf last year, including off this mark at Chester, but is also a dual 1m6f winner on AW and has at least one piece of 2m form in that sphere; a case can be made if he's tuned up sufficiently after 259 days off; the market may guide. |

Below best at York in June and since left David O'Meara for 20,000gns; an assured stayer who is capable off this mark and could have a part to play. |

31st May 2026 Good 1m 4f 8y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
0-14 on turf (5-19 on AW) but he ran well when he last tackled grass in summer 2024; returned from some time off with promising fourth at Southwell (1m3f, AW) last month and can be in the mix if building on that effort. |

11th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Five-time Wolverhampton winner for Shaun Lycett, all off lower marks; pulled up here last September, having clipped heels on his first run in five months and for this yard, and has been absent since; this trip a bare minimum now. |

23rd Sep 2025 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 4 |

Five Wolverhampton wins to his name for Shaun Lycett, all during the winter months, and never off a mark this high; has gone well here too but possible he'll need this for his new yard after five months off. |

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. |
7/4 |

4th 3 (7) |
7th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 5y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
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. |

Low-mileage 4yo; just edged out by Plage De Havre on his C&D reappearance but promoted to first after suffering interference; that rival bolted up at Newcastle next time so a short-priced defeat for this one at Wolverhampton (1m6f) 11 days ago probably shouldn't be taken to suggest that the handicapper has got him. |

19th May 2026 Good To Firm 3m 1f 10y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Returned from break with wide-margin win in three-runner contest at Wincanton (3m, good) last month; the value of that form is open to question (leader crashed through rail and ran out in home straight) but she remains unexposed over this sort of trip and the handicapper has been pragmatic in raising her 4lb. |
4/1 |

1st 2 |
12th Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 150y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Flat/hurdle winner; headed to Kempton last time unproven over this far but saw it out fine to finish third of the nine runners (on good ground); solid chance off 1lb higher. |
9/4 |
|
3rd 2 |
18th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Won a Flat handicap (1m6f, soft) and a novice hurdle (2m1f, good) last autumn; mixed record under both codes since then but she's been highly tried in last four hurdle runs and was third in a Listed race at Taunton last December; now returns to jumping after a short break and needs watching in market on handicap hurdle debut; tongue-tie added. |
