29th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 198y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Highly tried after winning Lingfield maiden (AW) in April last year and he bounced back from a swing at the Derby when going close at Thirsk (also 1m4f, good) in July; that form would make him a handicap snip but it's been a real struggle since and blinkers are now reached for; only considered if the market warms to him. |
8/1 |

7th 3 (4) |
12th May 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Landed a C&D maiden just over a year ago, but his form since then has been patchy; down another 3lb, but more needed if he is to resume winning ways. |
14/1 |

27th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Sole victory came over C&D but he has failed to beat a rival on his last two runs, gelded before coming in last of 9 at Kempton (1m4f) on his return three weeks ago; hard to warm to. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 39y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Four wins from 11 starts; successful on comeback at Kempton (1m4f, AW; made all) in April and again ran well when second at Newmarket (1m4f, good) two weeks ago; should be in the thick of things once more. |
13/2 |
|
2nd 3 (2) |
15th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Normally reliable and gritty performer, as evidenced by his comeback win at Kempton (AW; made all) in April, so his major flop at Epsom (again 1m4f, good) came as quite the surprise three weeks later; maybe that track didn't suit and his previous body of work means he can easily be given another chance. |
4/1 |
|
5th 2 (3) |
28th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 6y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Really likeable sort who scored three times on good ground (1m2f/1m4f) last term, twice coming out on top in tight finishes; gelded before again showing a fine attitude to pick up Kempton handicap (1m4f, AW) on his reappearance three weeks ago; likely won't go down without a fight for his ever-growing fan club. |

2nd 1 (5) |
27th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 16y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Three wins over 1m2f last season; unplaced twice this year but dropped 4lb for his troubles and this represents an ease in grade; stamina for 1m5f not assured. |
3/1 |
|
6th 5 (1) |
30th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Went up the weights having won three times last year, including C&D (good to firm) in May; unplaced on final start last term and same story on recent reappearance, but he may have needed that latest run and is not ruled out. |
8/1 |
|
7th 1 (9) |
16th Apr 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Front-runner who won on handicap debut at Redcar (1m2f, good to soft) last May and scored twice in a row at Pontefract (1m2f good/good to firm) last summer; unplaced on final run last year and has to prove his current mark is within range, but he might be the type to continue to progress this season. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Won at Windsor (1m2f, good) for William Haggas last August; struggled on first two runs for new yard but returned to form when second of seven back at Windsor (11.5f, good) 12 days ago; first-time cheekpieces go on now. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 7 (6) |
18th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 99y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Won here (1m2f, good) for William Haggas last August but that was off 4lb lower and he's struggled in two runs for new yard this season; has plenty to prove and overall record is now 1-15. |
14/1 |
|
10th 9 (2) |
16th Apr 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Underwhelming fifth of six on last month's stable and seasonal debut at Southwell (1m3f, AW), but he was wide early and may have needed the run; progressive on turf last season for William Haggas and he could tap back into that promise and play a leading role today. |
13/2 |
