4th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
C&D winner who came close to ending a losing AW run when a fast-closing runner-up here (5f) in March (5f); returns to this C&D for the first time since and ought to go well if the race falls his way. |

11th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |

More prolific on AW than turf; arrives on the back of a solid third at Lingfield two weeks ago (6f, AW); each-way shout. |

27th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 5 |

Didn't fire at Chelmsford last time but was a close second off a reduced mark here (5f) two starts ago and this return to 6f won't be a problem; can make his presence felt. |

1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 34y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Better strike-rate on turf than AW; solid third at Windsor three weeks ago (for Chloe Lyons) and has a chance if in the same form; finished behind a couple of today's rivals in a C&D handicap last summer. |
7/1 |

3rd 2 (6) |
11th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |

C&D winner last summer; off the mark for 2026 when making all at Chelmsford in January (5f); two defeats since have come over 6f; better expected back at 5f. |

Recorded his first AW success (four turf wins) when making all in 5f handicap at Chelmsford in January; most of his wins have come at that trip but his C&D third a fortnight ago underlines he is effective at 6f. |

27th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Prolific 5f winner, including over C&D, most recently at Chelmsford in October off 2lb lower; however, he was disappointing back at Chelmsford in February and has a bit to prove this time. |
5/1 |
|
8th 5 (3) |
21st Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Recorded his 11th AW win when narrowly beating Shalaa Asker over C&D in October; been absent since then but he's only 2lb higher than for that last win and he has won after a break in the past; dangerous on return. |

15th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 42y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
No great love for softer surfaces these days, but her present good heart still carried her to second at Lingfield latest (good to soft); record of 13412 in C&D class 5s includes June's win (good to firm); chance. |
7/2 |

2nd 4 (5) |
22nd Jul 2025 Good 0m 4f 217y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Refound some form last two outings for first and second at Yarmouth; best efforts last year were better still but, despite form on testing ground earlier in career, she came last of six on last season's two runs on soft. |
3/1 |

2nd 1 (1) |
27th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 42y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Won this race last year off a 5lb higher mark and came back to form when pulling away with one other over C&D a fortnight ago; has had her moments at the stalls and isn't the most consistent but will rightly be popular. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
The latest of his 11 wins was last August off 5lb higher; no win over this far since 2021 but he goes well at this track and, despite recent form, can't be comfortably ruled out. |
10/1 |
|
10th 3 (13) |
22nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Recorded his 11th win when scoring over C&D (firm) last August; well handicapped on that form but he's been up and down this year and was out the back at Windsor two weeks ago; comes with risks attached and he needs to bounce back again. |
16/1 |
|
10th 5 (11) |
7th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Slipping down the weights and his latest Lingfield third (5f AW) wasn't a bad effort; today's return to the turf will help and he is the type to come good soon. |

10th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
All wins at 6f up to two years ago but last five successes at 5f, most recently off much the same mark at Wolverhampton before Christmas; has beaten a total of two rivals in his last three starts, however, so more needs to be done back at 6f; cheekpieces refitted in place of a visor. |

18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Front-runner; two AW wins (5f) last autumn but he returned after a short break with a well-held fifth of eight at Pontefract (5f, good) last month; may have needed that run but his sole turf win was two years ago and others are more persuasive. |
14/1 |
|
5th 3 (7) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Front-runner; two AW wins (5f) last autumn and he was in good form when last seen in February; not much wiggle room off this mark though and a lower draw would have been preferable too. |

9th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 4f 217y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Into the veteran stage but he retains plenty of dash, setting a good pace at Catterick 17 days ago before weakening into third (Tuscan Point second but 8lb worse off today); likely to make a beeline for the stands' rail and more minor money could be on the cards. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 3 (6) |
22nd Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
The old man of the party but he still likes to get on with it and has a good record here; solid comeback second on AW in January wasn't built on but he's back down to the same mark he won this race from last year; that was a fourth C&D win and he has to enter calculations. |
8/1 |
|
11th 5 (4) |
10th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Front-runner; ended 2025 campaign with a C&D second and filled the same position on his return in January, again over C&D; backward step last time but capable of a prominent showing off this mark. |

Into the veteran stage but he retains enthusiasm and ran well when a close third at Newcastle on last month's return to action (5f); stopped quickly back there 12 days ago and today's trip is a major query. |
