18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Won twice on AW for Marco Botti; scored over hurdles last September; all but refused to race when trailing in last of four at Ffos Las (1m4f, good) on Monday; one to have serious reservations about at present. |

14th Jul 2026 Good 1m 3f 209y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Has been running well over hurdles and this dual AW winner hasn't had many Flat chances on turf (0-3); on a competitive mark and Hugh Horgan takes off 5lb. |

28th Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Proving reasonably consistent, having made the frame in most starts since winning a maiden event last September; a possible danger off current mark with Lewis Saunders taking off a bonus 5lb. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Runner-up here (7f, good to firm) in May then went very close at Redcar (1m, good); couldn't get into it after a slow start at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) last time but still ran pretty well and he might not be far away. |

5th 6 (10) |
27th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 96y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Mid-division on both starts here (2024); solid AW campaign has been carried over to turf with seconds at Doncaster (7f) and Redcar (1m) on last two outings, beaten a nose last time, and those put him firmly in the mix. |
5/1 |

2nd 1 (7) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 5 |

Consistent during the AW season and posted another good effort when second to progressive rival on recent turf return at Doncaster (7f, good to firm); also suited by 1m and probably won't be far away. |

Won at Ripon (1m, soft; Barley was second) last July off a mark 8lb higher than today's but he's struggled since; others have stronger claims. |

29th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |

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 |

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. |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has plenty of form over C&D including two wins; losing run up to 18, but he has never raced down at this level before so can't be dismissed by any means; stable also runs Sorted. |
5/1 |

6th 2 (4) |
13th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |

Has done all his winning at about 1m, including four times at Bath; has bits of 1m2f form but doesn't look the percentage call; losing run is mounting up. |

4th May 2026 Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
10st 9lb |
Four C&D wins on good or slower (handles good to firm, not at best in one run on firm); not at his best this year but that is reflected in his much-reduced mark; risky but not impossible. |

9st 8lb |
Win (off 2lb lower last August) and two seconds to his name from four runs over C&D; pulled hard and didn't see it out over 1m here last time, and this hold-up performer should fare better as long as it doesn't become tactical. |

Four-time Tapeta winner who resumes from eight months off on a career-high mark; gone well fresh before but is used to plying his trade in lesser company and may need some help from the handicapper. |

11th Jun 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Generally consistent 4yo, who made all at Lingfield (1m, AW) in April and things didn't go his way back on turf there last time; has claims if he can bounce back but stall 14 could make things tough and there are some other pacesetters in the line-up. |

10th May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 53y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Consistent 4yo who held on well to make all at Lingfield (1m, AW) 12 days ago; should be okay back on turf and recent 3lb rise is offset by Laura Coughlan's claim today but he's very unlikely to enjoy an uncontested lead. |

His heyday was two winters back but he still won last July (1m1f on turf) and is often thereabouts, including on Tapeta; not totally ruled out despite the 106-day absence. |

18th Sep 2025 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Landed a sixth success when winning a 12-runner handicap at Redcar (1m1f, good to soft) in July; kept at in when fourth at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) under a penalty six days later and excuses both starts since; very much respected. |

2nd Sep 2025 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |

9st 5lb |
Six AW wins since December, including a four-timer in February/March after the cheekpieces went on; four defeats have followed but he was staying on again when hampered in the closing stages over the extended 1m2f here last time, suggesting this return to a longer trip may suit. |
