9th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 211y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
A useful 1m5f Flat winner for Sir Mark Prescott last year; only fair form at best in four hurdle outings for this yard since, including when well-held sixth on Stratford handicap debut in that sphere four weeks ago; returns to the Flat with something to prove; first-time cheekpieces go on. |
40/1 |

28th Mar 2026 Good 2m 2f 148y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
A useful 1m5f Flat winner for Sir Mark Prescott; changed hands for 115,000gns and shaped well when runner-up in 2m Catterick juvenile hurdle in January; faced a stiff task in Haydock's Victor Ludorum last time and remains with potential now handicapping. |
9/2 |

14th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 144y Class 2 |
11st 0lb |
A fairly useful and three-time Flat scorer (at up to 1m6f) for Sir Mark Prescott in 2025; beat only one on his hurdling debut at Kempton but vastly improved when a clear second of nine in 2m Catterick juvenile 15 days ago; open to further progress but this demands plenty more. |

9st 8lb |
Steadily progressive for current yard and successful in last three turf attempts (1m4f-2m2f, good), beating Simple Star over C&D latest; may not have reached her ceiling yet; major player. |
7/2 |

1st 3 (6) |
27th Aug 2025 Good 2m 2f 28y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Ex-Irish mare who's barely put a foot wrong this year for current yard; that includes wins at Pontefract (1m4f) and Carlisle (1m6f) on two of her last three outings, both on good (unraced on firmer); shaped as if she got 2m on Newcastle AW in between (6l third to Stand Strong) but the 1m6f win was clearly her best effort. |

Ex-Irish mare who's barely put a foot wrong for her current yard; bumped into one at Ayr before a Pontefract win off 6lb lower and is shortlisted back on to turf, having found trouble on Tapeta latest. |

6th Jul 2026 Good 1m 5f 26y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Dual C&D winner; on a losing run of 17 but was seemingly perked up by refitted cheekpieces when third here (1m7f, soft; just behind La Tosca) last month and competes off another career-low mark today. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 7 (9) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Won over C&D in 2024 and is well handicapped on some of last year's placed efforts; yet to strike form after two starts this year but is of renewed interest now that tongue-tie and cheekpieces are refitted; versatile regarding ground; dangerous to ignore. |
20/1 |

10st 4lb |
Flat maiden; won a Kilbeggan handicap hurdle in 2024 when with John McConnell; down the field in two runs for this stable; seemed to be well fancied for a similar race to this at Roscommon on the first occasion; blinkered now after a poor hurdle run. |

Third in 1m4f handicaps at Musselburgh on her last two starts, staying on nicely on both occasions; drop back in trip on faster ground isn't sure to suit. |
10/1 |

3rd 2 (6) |
30th Jun 2026 Good 1m 4f 104y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Last three wins came over C&D; hit flat spot but rallied for third under these conditions last week; obvious claims of turning the tables on winner Gemini Man given she was beaten two necks and has a 4lb pull; 7lb claimer Kyle McHugh enlisted too. |
11/4 |
|
3rd 6 (2) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good 1m 4f 104y Class 6 |

A three-time C&D winner for Jim Goldie; much better signs for her new yard with sixth of 11 in 1m4f Hamilton handicap 18 days ago when set a lot to do; well in the mix if building on that here. |

Placed on numerous occasions, including at Southwell, but remains a longstanding maiden and he's been beaten around 12l in his two runs this year; blinkers return and cheekpieces are removed. |

28th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |

2nd Feb 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |

36-race maiden but he went close in two turf handicaps (1m4f) last summer; returns after 210 days off but he's effective on Tapeta and is not ruled out on his first run since rejoining Micky Hammond; reapplied cheekpieces replace a visor. |

13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 196y Class 4 |
8st 10lb |
Stout stayer who was placed over C&D (good) in September and opened his account at Pontefract (2m2f, soft) the following month; made a low-key reappearance last month but has possibilities if that run brought him on. |
10/1 |
|
4th 6 (5) |
22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 27y Class 4 |
8st 9lb |
Improved as his stamina was drawn out last season, winning over 2m2f here in October (soft); below par on extremely deep ground at Nottingham when last seen 211 days ago but that is not the run to judge him on; unlikely he has reached his ceiling and he's an interesting contender. |

9st 9lb |
Began this season with two perfectly respectable 1m6f runs last month (good/soft) and continues to edge down the weights but his last win was in 2023 and he's not the percentage call in this field. |

18th May 2026 Good 1m 6f 32y Class 5 |
8st 7lb |
Rallied for third of six at Redcar (1m6f, good) on seasonal debut and remains well handicapped on historical data; just no certainty to step forward, being a veteran who hasn't won since 2023. |

3rd 3 (6) |
7th May 2026 Good 1m 5f 218y Class 5 |

11th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |

9th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 5f 26y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Six-race maiden who is yet to threaten and was well beaten over C&D (good to soft) in July, but she made some late headway when fourth of six in a first-time visor (retained) at Sandown (1m2f, soft) three weeks ago and on that evidence she's worth another go at this trip; not discounted. |

21st Jun 2026 Good 2m 2f 2y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Unraced on firmer than good; seconds were becoming a habit before the cheekpieces went on and he won at Southwell (1m6f, AW), Ripon (2m, good) and Pontefract (2m1f, good to soft) on last three outings; latest (after five days off) saw him assert by about 4l in the final 1f and the four-timer may well be beckoning despite 5lb rise. |
6/4 |
|
1st 4 (2) |
22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 27y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Improved for a step up in trip and then cheekpieces, getting off the mark at Southwell (1m6f) last month and following up at Ripon on Sunday (2m, good); escapes a penalty for that win and today's further rise in distance could spark additional progress; possible he could do with the ground drying out a bit but he's on the up and should make a bold bid to complete his hat-trick. |
2/1 |
|
1st 3 (1) |
17th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Runner-up in four of his first five handicaps before finally cracking it in a four-runner race at Southwell (1m6f, AW) in April; that was in first-time cheekpieces (retained) but by just a nose, leading on the post; stays 2m and he's a player if transferring this year's improvement back to turf. |

Won a Newcastle handicap (1m2f, AW) last October but he's returned from a break with two heavy defeats (1m2f/1m6f) this season; still has low-mileage but he needs a major revival back on turf. |

Standout effort was her 6l sixth of 11 in a maiden at Lingfield (1m2f, good to soft) on second start; 14-1 when remote on handicap debut over 2m (good to firm) on latest; connections turn to cheekpieces. |
