8th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Usually races prominently but came from the rear, having fluffed the start, to dead-heat over C&D (good; subsequently awarded outright win) last summer; now only 1lb above that mark and returns here after respectable run in quite valuable Musselburgh race last month; one to consider. |

238 days off before his Newcastle run three weeks ago when he may well have been in need of the race and interference exacerbated his margin of defeat; possibilities if that has brought him back to his best. |

31st May 2026 Good 1m 4f 8y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Two 1m4f AW wins last winter for Denis Quinn and respectable fifth of 15 at Lingfield (1m4f, AW) last month on sole run for John Ryan; however, it's a long time since he ran well on turf and has something to prove back on grass; stable debut. |
12/1 |
|
5th 9 (3) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
In good form for Denis Quinn in recent months including wins at Newcastle (1m4f, Tapeta) in December and over C&D in January; closely matched with Wonder on a couple of bits of form and respected on first start for John Ryan (same owner); stable also runs Tommy's Promise. |
11/1 |

3rd 3 (6) |
28th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |

Made it two wins in a row when edging out Wonder over C&D last month; extended his run of good form when second of ten at Wolverhampton (1m4f) four weeks ago; should figure again. |

6th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Dug in to score on his last spin over hurdles at Market Rasen (2m, good to soft; from 3lb lower) in December; runner-up three times in succession on the Flat at Beverley recently, beaten 2l there (1m4f; 13-8 favourite) just ten days ago. |

27th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 23y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Sole win on the Flat came here over 1m2f in June 2024 and he's finished runner-up over this C&D on his last two outings; no reason why he can't go well again. |
2/1 |

2nd 3 (3) |

31st May 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 7f 150y |
11st 12lb |
Won a maiden hurdle in 2023; also two Flat wins in 2024 for Tony Martin; lacks a recent run but of some interest on his first outing for Cian Collins. |
10/1 |

10th 10 (3) |
29th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 0y |

Only had five runs for this yard and been competitive in 1m3f/1m4f handicaps; hold-up performer who will probably need a good pace to chase back at 1m. |

12th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
2m1f Flat winner in 2023 (on heavy) and she also won for Stuart Kittow twice over hurdles early in 2024; runner-up twice from her three races for Kevin Philippart de Foy this May-July, all on AW, and is now back with her former trainer; one to consider seriously. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 2 (8) |
13th Jul 2025 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
2m Flat winner in 2023 (on heavy) and she also won twice over hurdles in spring 2024 for Stuart Kittow; both runs for new yard were over 1m4f on Tapeta recently, with a lesser effort last time (despite starting favourite) but she could prove more potent with today's step back up in trip. |
9/1 |
|
5th 2 (6) |
28th Jun 2025 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Won twice over hurdles in spring 2024 for Stuart Kittow; pleasing start for new stable when 4l second of eight at Wolverhampton (1m4f; 15-2) last month, rallying; can build on that run and may go one better. |

4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 35y Class 4 |
8st 7lb |
Won over C&D (soft) last September when 1lb higher and he's one to watch in the betting, especially if the ground is on the slow side; however, he's been tailed off on both starts this season. |
16/1 |
|
10th 8 (10) |
15th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 35y Class 4 |
8st 9lb |
Gained his first win over C&D in September; has failed to last home over 1m4f on his last two runs, coming in last of eight at Newcastle in March, and not totally dismissed back in trip. |

5th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
8st 5lb |
Five-time winner over 6f-1m2f here, the latest from 3lb lower over 7f in January; capable of playing a part if this sets up for his closing style. |
13/2 |

5th 7 (6) |
27th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |

7/1 |
|
8th 7 (2) |
31st Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Versatile 6yo who had form over all sorts of trips last year and just did enough to hold off Ardaddy over C&D one week ago; recent 3lb rise is probably enough to leave him a shade vulnerable, though. |

11st 11lb |
Well-beaten when back over hurdles last month but stayed on well from poor position to go close under Natasha Cookson at Kelso (2m5f, good) ten days ago and looks well worth a crack at 3m. |
7/2 |

16th Sep 2025 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Won small-field Flat marathon off much reduced mark last month but has not run over hurdles since summer 2023 and his current ability in this sphere is hard to gauge; best suited by good or faster ground. |

31st Mar 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
10yo whose easily most successful season was 2025, with four wins; the latest was at this track (2m) in December and he's held his form, including over C&D, so has each-way claims once again. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 1 (2) |
11th Mar 2026 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Dual C&D winner whose most recent success came at Wolverhampton (2m, AW) off this mark in December; beaten 2l when fourth of seven there nine days ago, despite failing to settle, and there's no reason to suggest he won't go well. |
9/2 |

4th 4 (6) |
2nd Mar 2026 Standard 2m 0f 120y Class 6 |

Consistent veteran who made the frame on his last six appearances and is now back on same mark as for C&D win in December; likely to be on the premises. |

9st 11lb |
Dual 1m6f AW winner at Wolverhampton this year, both times under Zoe Lewis; did not enjoy run of the race when well-held third there 18 days ago and also has form over this C&D; probably won't be far away. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 5 (8) |
11th May 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Not the most consistent but made it 2-3 over C&D, and 2-3 for Zoe Lewis, off a 3lb lower mark in a first-time tongue-tie five weeks ago (previously behind Tuba); player if in the same mood. |
5/1 |

1st 2 (11) |
6th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 6 |

Off the mark over C&D (18-1) in January under Zoe Lewis; disappointing at Newcastle (12.5f) next time and didn't see out his race back here (sixth) last week; tongue-tie now added. |

Nine-race maiden on turf, best recent run when third at Catterick in April (1m4f, good); hasn't done as well since. |
14/1 |
|
6th 10 (10) |
11th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 13y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Just one win from his 25 starts but he was a good third over C&D last month and didn't see out 1m6f when fifth to Free Pic here last time; each-way claims back down in trip. |
14/1 |
|
5th 5 (1) |
22nd Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 192y Class 6 |
8st 5lb |
In the hands of John Butler when sporting first-time blinkers to score at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) in February; that's her only success but a keeping-on third here (1m4f, good) was a respectable effort a fortnight ago and this new trip is probably worth a go. |
