5th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Useful on the Flat and ran in last year's Derby; hasn't won a race since but he ran okay to be second on his hurdle debut at Worcester (2m, good) and going up in trip here could suit. |
2/1 |

2nd 7 |
17th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Useful on the Flat at his best; has regressed and become inconsistent in this sphere but seemed to respond well to first-time blinkers when third at Brighton (1m4f, good to firm; RPR 79) last month; sports refitted cheekpieces for this hurdling debut; can feature if all goes to plan. |
8/1 |

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. |

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. |

17th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 10y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Three wins over 1m2f (good/good to firm) last season; only 1lb higher than for his last success but he hasn't been in peak form in four starts this term; still unexposed at this trip but he needs to raise his game. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 1 (4) |
8th Jun 2026 Good 1m 4f 5y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Three wins, all over 1m2f, last season (good/good to firm; two here); best run this term when second of four at Hamilton last time (1m5f, good to firm); a possible. |
4/1 |
|
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. |

1st Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Very inconsistent in four starts for this yard this term and his good second at Windsor (11.5f, good) in May was flanked by a pair of 1m2f howlers; mark fine if he's on a going day but sole appearance here (well beaten when favourite last April) raises a further doubt. |
16/1 |
|
5th 5 (2) |
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. |
