15th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
7yo who is lightly raced for his age and made it 6-12 on AW when winning a competitive 1m2f handicap at Newcastle last month; achieved very little on turf at the start of his career but he's a different model now and he could be in the shake-up if the return to grass isn't an issue. |

1st 12 (15) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
Five AW wins between July 2024 and February 2025, including here; however, he hasn't been at the top of his game on his three starts since November, which puts him down the pecking order today. |

12th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Made giant strides on AW last winter; rocketed up the handicap as a consequence and his two runs back from an eight-month absence have been underwhelming; still 5lb higher than for his last win but this is at least an ease in grade. |

10th Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Made her breakthrough at Listed level over 1m4f at York (good to firm) in August; soft ground may have been an excuse on latest outing; player if straight back to form. |
9/1 |
|
8th 1 (6) |
17th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 2f 23y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Mostly progressive filly who followed a close third in a York Listed event (1m2.5f, good) in July by making her breakthrough at that level with a narrow but fairly convincing success over 1m4f at that track (good to firm) last month; should be fine back at this trip and she's a threat if soft ground proves no barrier. |
9/2 |

21st Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 188y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
Highly progressive in AW handicaps prior to creditable third of six in Group 3 at Newcastle (again AW) in June, all at about 1m2f; she's failed to match that back on turf (good; unraced on firmer) for her last two outings, but kept on steadily for a close third of 12 (on the heels of Rainbows Edge) in Listed race here on latest to give some hope for this new trip. |

8th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
1m2f French winner; well handicapped on his best form for Kevin Philippart De Foy but he's struggled in last four starts including two runs for new yard this year; overall record is now 1-14 and he has something to prove. |
16/1 |

10th 1 (7) |
20th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
1m2f French winner; not far away on several outings for Kevin Philippart De Foy but ended his time with that yard on a low note and tailed off on reappearance for new stable last month; now tongue tied first time. |
40/1 |
|
6th 1 (3) |
24th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
1m2f French winner; runner-up off this mark at Kempton (1m4f, Class 3; 11-1) last July, before disappointing on final two starts for Kevin Philippart De Foy; changed hands in October for 21,000gns; merits a market check on first start for new trainer. |

31st May 2026 Good 1m 4f 8y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Having dropped down the weights he returned to form when runner-up off today's mark at Lingfield (1m4f, AW) recently on his second start for this yard; however, he's 5-22 on AW as opposed to 0-11 on Flat turf, and needs to back up that latest performance now back on grass. |
12/1 |
|
2nd 1 (1) |
12th May 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Has been a smart performer in his time (rated 18lb higher), but well below form in his last two starts including on stable debut here (1m2f) last month; tongue-tie removed after one use; look elsewhere. |
11/1 |
|
11th 7 (4) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Formerly a smart AW performer for Mick Appleby, but not quite the force of old; makes his debut for another new yard (same owners) in a new headgear combination after eight starts for Shark Hanlon; well treated if he could rediscover anything like his best form. |

21st Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
0-13 since winning his first two career starts on Polytrack, but capable of useful form as when third of 14 in the London Mile Series Final at Kempton (1m, Polytrack; first-time cheekpieces) 15 days ago; has run well on Tapeta at Newcastle and a player off the same mark as last time. |
9/2 |

6th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Career commenced with two wins; 0-12 since but close third in qualifier last time sets him up nicely for a crack at this final and first-time cheekpieces may have a boosting effect; in the mix. |
8/1 |
|
4 (5) |
20th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
On a long losing sequence and he arrives below par, having been tried in a hood (now discarded) when seventh of ten in 1m Ascot handicap last month; handily weighted if he gets back on song though. |

Five-time course winner, but he's never scored beyond 1m2f and his last success was in November 2023; well handicapped on his old form but he's been well held in last four starts and latest was over 1m6f here last month; opposable. |

12th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Multiple C&D winner, the latest last August when rated 5lb higher; obvious chance if anywhere near that level but he has been struggling more recently; the return to 1m2f will help but not a solid option. |
14/1 |
|
6th 1 (3) |
6th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 3 |
10st 0lb |
Has done nearly all his winning at about 1m2f, most recently last August; inconsistent since but drops back in grade off a workable mark; stayed on for creditable effort in sole attempt over 1m4f. |

16th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 2 |

9st 10lb |
Already a three-time scorer (around 1m) in 2025 and he comes here on the back of a very good second of 13 in 1m Newcastle handicap; must enter calculations off an unchanged mark. |

2nd 5 (12) |
28th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Career win number eight when prevailing narrowly in a Class 4 at Beverley (extended 1m) and tends to find Class 2s too tough these days, so excused his Doncaster run; only 1-17 on the AW but could be a factor. |
14/1 |

10th 12 (1) |

9th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Three-time winner at 1m2f (good to firm) although that was back in 2022/23 and his last success came over 1m6f at Sandown in July; tailed off on final start last term and two runs (1m4f) this season contained little encouragement. |

13th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Second at this meeting in 2024 but only eighth in this race last year; had an excellent autumn on AW and won again in January, but he's struggled to make an impact in recent AW starts and his record is a lot stronger at up to 1m3f than at about 1m4f. |
33/1 |
|
14th 3 (1) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
He's never won off a mark this high and he needs to produce more than he's managed at Kempton and Lingfield on his last three starts; however, before those he won a 13-runner handicap over C&D with something to spare and the return to Newcastle could be in his favour; not ruled out each-way. |
