19th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Last win was at Newmarket in May 2025 off 11lb higher; only sixth of eight at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 12 days ago when 6-4 favourite; steps back up in trip and is so well handicapped on old form that he must be considered. |

7th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |

Now 9lb lower than for his Newmarket win last May (6f, good); little to shout about since and unlikely to get an easy time of things up front. |

21st Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 5 |

Resumed winning ways at Newmarket (6f) last May but well below that form subsequently, though not best drawn when 12th at Doncaster (5f) on his return; others appeal more. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Made encouraging seasonal/stable debut when fifth of 15 in higher-grade race at Doncaster (7f, good to soft) in March, but two lesser efforts have followed (7f/6f) and she'd appeal more on ground slower than good. |
12/1 |
|
6th 7 (4) |
14th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Signed off 2025 with a claiming success at Leicester (7f, soft) in October on his final start for Eve Johnson Houghton; two fair efforts over 7f since joining this stable and now drops back in trip on ground that he could probably do with being a bit softer than forecast. |
8/1 |

13th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Signed off for 2025 with C&D claiming win in October for Eve Johnson Houghton; not discredited for his new yard after five months off when fifth of 15 in 7f Doncaster handicap 15 days ago; needs considering. |

9st 8lb |
Four handicap wins this year, two of them at this track (6f and 7f); not at his best at Wolverhampton ten days ago and drawn widest this time; Marco Ghiani replaces a 7lb claimer. |
10/1 |
|
7th 4 (2) |

Progressive 3yo who led close home a Newmarket (6f, good to firm) in August and has now won four times this year; also suited by Tapeta and could plausibly still have untapped potential over 7f; commands respect. |

Seven-race maiden but she has posted some respectable efforts, including when fifth of eight at Windsor (6f, good to firm) on her reappearance last month; dropped another 2lb. |
8/1 |

5th 6 (5) |
7th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |

Yet to build on the promise of her 2yo debut, but she now tackles her first Class 6 handicap on her return from a seven-month break; still has time to do better. |
12/1 |
|
3 (4) |
7th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Some 6f promise on Wolverhampton Tapeta; hasn't been ahead of her mark in two 6f turf handicaps since but she made some late inroads at Leicester recently when entitled to need the run; may yet do better. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Ended a lengthy losing run when winning a 0-55 AW handicap run to suit round Lingfield last time; upped 6lb but was competitive off higher marks on turf last summer and that win may have boosted confidence. |
10/1 |
|
1st 3 (10) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Didn't fire over 7f here last month and is now 0-9 for Chris Gordon but keeping-on fourth of 12 at Kempton (6f) two starts ago was a pretty good effort and he remains on a good mark; considered, despite awkward draw. |
6/1 |
|
8th 4 (2) |
25th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Sole win was over 6f on turf in July 2024; on reduced mark and was a creditable fourth at Kempton (6f, Polytrack) three weeks ago but that took his record to 1-22 and he's untried at this trip; others are more persuasive. |

Well handicapped on last season's best efforts for Christine Dunnett; however, well beaten last September on final few starts for that yard and his sole win came back in 2024; might be best watched on stable debut. |
14/1 |
|
12th 12 (12) |
27th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |

28th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Defied this mark at Chelmsford (7f, AW) last October but he's been out of sorts at Newmarket and Ascot in his two runs this season; now drops back in grade but he's 1-13 on turf and others are more convincing; reapplied visor replaces cheekpieces. |
25/1 |
|
8th 9 (9) |
1st May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Effective in the reapplied cheekpieces but last season's career-best form came once fitted in a visor; needs to be right on his game to win this and that wasn't the case on his Newmarket comeback. |
40/1 |
|
16th 9 (1) |
16th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Improved in headgear over 7f last term, winning in first-time cheekpieces on the July course (good to firm) in June and in a newly fitted visor at Southwell in August; also scored in latter aid at Chelmsford (also AW) in October; slight worry slow starts were a feature of his last two runs but might have needed a rest by then; not ruled out on this reappearance. |

30th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Regressive maiden who's been tried in three forms of headgear and proved expensive to follow; a poor one as favourite at Lingfield (AW) last time leaves him something to prove under Oisin Murphy (8-37 for the yard). |
7/1 |
|
2 (5) |
5th Jun 2025 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Ran well when third of ten at Southwell on his handicap debut in February and he's dropped 7lb since that effort; that is with some justification, as he's been well short of that level in three runs since; needs a full revival with cheekpieces the headgear of choice this time. |

1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Got off the mark on her stable debut at Chester (7f, good) last July and has performed with credit on each run since bar a poor effort on soft at Sandown in August; should be better for her reappearance at this track (1m, AW) when fourth of six in March and holds claims in first-time cheekpieces. |
3/1 |
|
4th 2 (6) |
20th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
She made a winning debut for James Owen at Chester (7f, good) last July and finished second in three of her four subsequent runs (including C&D); absent for six months but she still has relatively low mileage and could kick on again this year. |
2/1 |
|
2nd 5 (3) |
13th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Thrived for the switch to James Owen, winning in a first-time hood at Chester (7f, good) and then finishing runner-up at Yarmouth and Newmarket; never travelling when a beaten favourite (last of nine to Tronido) at Sandown (1m) a fortnight ago; headgear now discarded; 0-3 on AW. |

10th 11 (10) |
16th May 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Only win and best form has been on the AW; wasn't beaten too far in his only handicap on grass and was just 3l away in two AW handicaps before hampered by a slow start last time; hold-up tactics might not be ideal here on quickening ground. |

Headstrong sort who has won just once from his 17 starts but runner-up three times this year, most recently going close at Lingfield (6f, good to firm) nine days ago; every chance he'll be in the mix once more. |

Took nine races to win (5f, soft) for Brian Meehan and he's 0-8 for current yard, unplaced last four starts; often compromises his chance by racing freely but at least this is a weaker race than he's been contesting. |

Snapped a losing sequence a fortnight ago at Southwell (7f, Tapeta) where benefiting from the strong pace to collar Anthropologist close home; unexposed at today's trip and a 3lb rise isn't harsh; he's one to consider. |
