1st 3 |
19th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 7y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Not at best on the Flat this year (albeit still capable of useful form) and managed only fourth of six when warm favourite for latest hurdle race, at Worcester (2m, good) in May; that said, he's a stout stayer on the Flat and could have untapped potential over this new trip over jumps. |

27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Not in peak form (hurdles or Flat) from last August onwards but it's not forgotten that he was third in the Plate itself last year off 3lb higher. |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Dual hurdle winner who is 0-4 in handicaps; however, he should be on a fair mark given the level of his Flat ability and he ran quite well in a valuable Newmarket handicap at the Guineas meeting; player. |

27th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Thriving since the cheekpieces went on, scoring at Southwell (1m4f) in February and bettering that form when beaten 1l by Son Of Man over C&D 24 days ago; enjoys a 2lb weights pull now so he's a likely player. |

2nd 1 (2) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |

Running well this year, winning at Southwell (1m4f, Tapeta; first-time cheekpieces) in February and going down by a neck in two starts over this C&D either side; up another 1lb, but another big effort is expected. |

10th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Prolific winner, mostly on AW and at 1m6f-2m, including C&D; 1lb higher than when scoring here in February; not quite as good in two subsequent starts but looks a player back up in trip and with the same claimer up as for that most recent success. |

19th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 133y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Held on to win at Kempton (2m, AW) in February and posted a solid effort when fourth at Southwell (2m, AW) 84 days ago; off since and this drop back in trip probably isn't ideal on his first outing on turf since September 2023. |

7th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Made a winning start for this yard in a novice handicap chase last November but pulled up in his final chase and has finished last in two subsequent Flat starts; capable hurdler but hardly returns to this discipline at the top of his game. |
25/1 |
|
7th 2 (3) |
22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 27y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Made a winning start for this yard in a novice handicap chase at Southwell (2m4f, soft) last November; finished a long way behind Sea Of Kings at Doncaster on his return to the Flat four weeks ago; others appeal more. |
12/1 |

9st 8lb |
Ended his time with Adrian Keatley below par last autumn but a winner over fences at Southwell for his new yard before being pulled up at Market Rasen in December; needs to bounce back after a layoff. |

7th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 6 |
10st 7lb |
Record of ten wins from 34 starts on the AW; goes particularly well here, gaining fourth course success when scoring by 14l over 2m nine days ago; this trip no problem; will be hard to beat with a 5lb penalty. |
5/4 |

1st 1 (2) |
28th Jun 2026 Standard 2m 0f 120y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Nine wins on the AW including two over C&D (course record reads 22111544); would have finished closer with a clear run when fifth of eight at Bath (2m1f, good) 15 days ago and very much of interest back here. |

15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 6f 32y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Without a Flat win since 2023 but was placed in valuable 2m AW handicap in April and didn't run badly when sixth of 12 at Ascot (2m, good) last month; eased in grade here; can go well from the front. |
6/1 |

6th 6 (7) |
8th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 209y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Can set the pace; twice runner-up at Wolverhampton (1m6f/16.5f) during the winter and a good third of 14 in competitive event at Lingfield (2m, also AW; Tarbat Ness sixth) on Good Friday; turf no problem and he should give a good account. |
8/1 |

3rd 11 (14) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Often a front-runner; 1lb lower than when twice runner-up at Wolverhampton (1m6f/16.5f) during the winter and didn't enjoy much luck when behind a couple of these there last month, but the outside stall won't make things easy. |

16th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Chase/hurdle winner who won on the AW at Lingfield in February 2025; hasn't been in top form on his last couple of runs over hurdles; on a fair mark now. |
20/1 |

19th Apr 2026 Good 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Useful on the Flat in his prime but suffered heavy defeat in that sphere last month, after a layoff, and also struggled in a handicap hurdle three weeks ago; sports refitted cheekpieces; others have much less to prove. |
25/1 |
|
6th 2 |
28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Seven-time Flat winner who has also scored over hurdles (2m1f, soft) and fences (2m, good); on dangerous mark back over jumps but he's not seen much action in the last 12 months and has been tailed off in his last two Flat runs; risks attached. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 109y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Big improver over hurdles and he made it 5-8 in that sphere when completing a hat-trick at Perth (2m, good) two weeks ago; looks interesting off dangerous mark on the Flat and he won over 1m7f in France as a 3yo. |
15/8 |
|
1st 1 |
2nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Solid hurdles strike-rate (4-7); seeks a hat-trick following wins at Huntingdon and Ludlow (both 2m, good; combined rise of 11lb); wouldn't want too much rain - good to soft would be fine - but otherwise holds a clear chance. |
