16th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Won in first-time cheekpieces (retained since) at Lingfield (1m, AW) last month but not at the same level at Epsom (8.5f, good) and Kempton (7f, AW) since, and needs to get back on track. |

6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Added to a good record in the spring when winning off 2lb lower at Lingfield (1m) last month in first-time cheekpieces; a long way below that level on turf since and this trip is a bare minimum round here, especially from a wide stall. |

7f nursery winner here (good; has won on good to firm) in 2023; landed seventh AW win when scoring at Lingfield (1m; first-time cheekpieces, retained) a fortnight ago; has won off higher marks than this and must be considered on his return to turf. |

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. |

30th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
Prominent racer who won two 7f turf handicaps last summer; close second at Lingfield (7f) on his penultimate start but his form dipped when fifth of six behind Legal Reform on Boxing Day; a personal best will be required to take this. |
10/1 |
|

26th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 212y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Front-running wins at Ascot and Chepstow this summer (both 7f, good to firm and good to soft); weak in the market and dropped away tamely at Newcastle five weeks ago; return to 7f and the redeployment of blinkers should give him a lift; considered. |
5/1 |
|
6 (11) |
21st Aug 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
6f 2yo winner who belatedly returned to winning ways in an Ascot 7f handicap (blinkered) and followed up without much fuss at Chepstow (no headgear), albeit having benefited from his track position; has to deal with a 7lb rise for that last win which could have been a shade flattering; cheekpieces now tried; has competitive form at 1m on the AW. |

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 |

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. |

Two solid efforts for Roger Varian in January; sent off at big prices and has finished well beaten in three runs for new connections; should be well handicapped and he is another who needs monitoring in the betting. |
25/1 |

12th 12 (9) |
18th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Veteran who won over 7f at Southwell in January but has been rather below his best since; equally effective on turf and has won over 1m on fast ground; others look better handicapped. |
16/1 |

8th 4 (8) |
25th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |

Seven of his 12 wins have been here (five over this trip); has never won off a mark this high however and most likely needs to drop a few pounds. |
20/1 |
|
8th 3 (8) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
No signs of age dimming his enthusiasm, completing a December/January hat-trick (second leg over 1m here); a slow start didn't help when sixth of 12 at Southwell last time and he can be treated as if still in form. |

9st 9lb |
His last two wins were over 7f in 2024 but he's well treated on his old form and he ran well on a few occasions at up to 1m2f last season; seems to handle most ground and he needs watching in market after six months off; cheekpieces removed. |

Off the mark in Redcar novice event, taking her form figures over 7f to 2321; the return to 1m backfired at Southwell (belated handicap debut; behind Moonspirit) since; may have more to offer back down in distance and remains of interest. |

10st 8lb

Has made a bright start for his current yard and made it two wins from his last three runs in 1m4f handicap at Beverley two days ago; also took this in 2024, so he's a player under a 4lb penalty. |
5/1 |

27th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 23y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Gained his first win for this stable at Doncaster (1m4f, good) this month and ran well at Southwell (1m3f, AW) six days ago; still fairly treated off this 2lb higher mark and has good claims. |
5/2 |

2nd 7 (5) |
21st May 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 5 |

Hit traffic when not beaten far over C&D late last month and duly justified favouritism at Doncaster on Saturday; no penalty for that apprentice race win and is shortlisted under the experienced Fletcher Yarham. |

Chance on this winter's AW best but he failed to fire back on turf at Goodwood last week (5f); return to 6f can help but others are stronger. |
25/1 |

8th 5 (5) |
2nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
His three wins have come over 6f/7f including at Goodwood (good to soft) last summer and at Kempton (off 3lb lower) in January; made some late gains when a creditable third at Kempton last month but this is a different test and his tactical speed will be tested on this first try at 5f. |
8/1 |

3rd 7 (6) |
1st Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Ran on well to win a Class 4 over C&D in January; respectable efforts since, including when sixth of seven behind Em Four and Brazen Idol here two weeks ago (held up in a race where the front two dominated); still feasibly weighted. |

Dropped 26lb in the weights in six runs for new stable since February; perhaps the addition of blinkers will help but she's not a solid option in her current form. |

Sole win came for Richard Hughes in a Wolverhampton novice (9.5f; 11-8 favourite) in July 2023; hasn't offered much in five starts - over a range of distances (1m-1m4f) - for this yard; competes from an easing mark. |

3rd Jun 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |

Novice winner here (9.5f) for Richard Hughes in the summer of 2023, but has shown little since returning for this yard in February; the outside stall won't help his cause either. |
