29th Apr 2026 Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Course winner over 5f on heavy ground in September and she has also won on good to firm; ended last season out of sorts and she was well held on her return at Leicester (6f, good) 16 days ago; hood is removed and tongue-tie is applied; bit to prove. |

8st 13lb |
Turf wins have come on stiff tracks, at 6f and 5f; had another good season in 2025 but it ended quietly in the autumn and she now has a hood refitted for the first time in over two years; has a bit to prove. |

26th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |

Running well in defeat in recent months, including over C&D; should remain competitive but this is a step back up in class. |

19th May 2026 Good 0m 4f 217y Class 6 |

18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Made a good return to turf when narrowly denied over 5f at Bath (good) 13 days ago; nudged back up 3lb but remains 1lb below the mark he defied on AW last autumn; needs considering. |

21st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
17-race maiden; placed over C&D last October; low-key return to action at Ayr 16 days ago and he needs to leave that well behind. |
9/1 |
|
9th 8 (7) |
5th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
16-race maiden; ran a couple of fair races for Jim Goldie last term after being bought for 10,000gns in July; perhaps best watched after a 181-day break. |
8/1 |
|
6th 7 (10) |
15th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
14-race maiden (12 for Ismail Mohammed) who's finished second over 5f on a variety of ground in three of his last six starts; latest was one of those, albeit in six-runner race at Musselburgh when well below his best form; needs a bit extra and promising 5lb claimer takes over. |

Eight of his nine wins have been on turf but he was comfortably held back on the grass here two weeks ago. |
10/1 |

4th 6 (5) |
29th Apr 2026 Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
8st 4lb |
Eight of his nine wins have been on turf, with the most recent coming at Chepstow (5f, good) last August; weakened late at Wolverhampton 20 days ago and now steps up in grade. |
10/1 |
|
8th 6 (2) |
9th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Only one of his nine wins have been on the AW but he posted some solid efforts this winter; third of nine over this C&D 51 days ago and this is his first start since; has claims. |

Regressive maiden who's finished well held in two runs back in 0-50 classified company; would be a surprise winner switching from cheekpieces to a first-time visor. |

10th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |

24th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Patchy form since a good debut at Sandown last August but she signed off for Darryll Holland with a solid third at Lingfield (6f, Polytrack) seven weeks ago; this is just her fourth handicap and she's far from ruled out on stable debut. |
5/1 |

3rd 3 (11) |
4th Aug 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Regressive maiden who didn't look to see out 6f on sole attempt (AW here); too soon to write her off but was below par last time, since when she's been withdrawn once on account of unsuitable (officially good) ground; now tried without the hood for the first time. |

3rd Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
C&D winner; losing run stretches back over two years and he hasn't fired yet this year; dropped 10lb as a result but perhaps not ready to capitalise just yet. |
33/1 |

22nd Jul 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Not run on the AW since 2022 and has regressed on turf in recent times, having been rated a stone higher at the start of last season; well held in three runs round his beloved Chepstow this year. |

Well held first time out in his three previous seasons; resumes on a winning mark but this race looks too competitive after his seven months off. |
25/1 |
|
1 (7) |
27th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Made the most of his first C&D attempt when winning cosily in April and although he hasn't gone on from that, or even equalled it, the ability is there to go well now back on the same mark; can't dismiss. |
