6th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 127y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Has gained both handicap wins at Chester, including over the bare 7f at this meeting (good) in May 2024; respectable fifth in this last year; a reappearance run over 6f at the Newmarket Craven meeting could have put him spot on for this; likely to be in the mix here again. |
8/1 |
|
8th 2 (6) |
15th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Has course form and is capable of being involved; however, has gained both handicap wins at Chester, latest in May 2024, and may be more interesting back there with this reappearance under his belt. |
9/1 |

2nd 5 (5) |
1st Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

Three wins, all around a left-hand bend, but the latest was back in May 2024; has run some solid races in defeat this year and showed promise at this track on his debut; others are more persuasive. |

13th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Won two in a row last May/June (6f, soft/good to firm) when this visor first went on and he ran well to be placed on his final two outings last autumn; each-way claims if fully tuned up for this reappearance outing. |
11/1 |
|
6 (9) |
3rd Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Not yet truly exposed over 6f since visored, winning on two occasions (on good to firm and soft) and first home on his side for the two defeats, over C&D and in the Ayr Silver Cup; the handicapper may not have weighed him up yet and he can be a big threat. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 6 (14) |
20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Has won on good to firm and soft this year; a big improver since visored over 6f, winning in fine style at Ascot in May then followed up at Epsom; he lost nothing in defeat when first home in his group at Ascot in July on his latest 6f start but was said to have never travelled during an abortive 7f attempt at Chepstow since; much respected if recapturing earlier 6f form. |

Proving hard to win with; not beaten far last two AW runs, behind I Bid You Ajou when sixth at Naas last time; handicapper starting to play ball. |
9/1 |
|
6th 1 (4) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 205y |
10st 1lb |
Sole win in June 2023; in good form on the AW off this mark recently, beaten less than 1l the last twice; best turf form on fast ground and on a dangerous mark based on a 2l second at Windsor off 7lb higher last June; could go well. |
15/2 |
|
4th 1 (3) |
1st Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y |
10st 1lb |
Yet to add to his 6f 2yo win on AW in Britain for Brian Meehan; solid level of form here of late, most recently staying on for second behind all-the-way winner Sporting Hero over this trip last month from a wide draw; 4lb better off with rival here, major chance. |

13th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who, having been gelded, won two in a row over 6f on AW earlier this year; further progress cannot be ruled out but he's finished seventh on his last two starts and needs something extra today. |
14/1 |
|
7th 5 (9) |
25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Dual turf winner who made it 2-2 on AW when completing a double at Newcastle (6f; off 4lb lower) last month; didn't fire in his hat-trick bid at Kempton but he still has potential and is not ruled out in suitable conditions back on turf. |
11/2 |
|
7th 1 (11) |
28th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 13lb |
He has taken well to AW this winter, winning 6f handicaps at Lingfield and Newcastle; up only 7lb for those wins and it's quite possible there is more in the tank; not ideally drawn but Ferrous overcame stall 11 in this race two years ago. |

20th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Opened his AW account in Kempton contest (6f) in December; has remained in form since, without necessarily building on that success; likely needs to raise his game in this field. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 3 (2) |
4th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Made his AW breakthrough when scoring over C&D in December; matched that form when second over C&D in January and big player with Billy Loughnane taking over in the saddle for the first time. |
11/4 |
|
2nd 2 (6) |
14th Jan 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Made his AW breakthrough when scoring over C&D near the start of last month and it was a creditable effort when close fifth of 12 at Southwell (6f, Tapeta) a fortnight ago; solid claims from the same mark. |

11th Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
He had dropped a long way in the weights prior to his fine third at York's Dante meeting and he confirmed his wellbeing when seeing off 20 rivals back at York two weeks later (7f, good); ran poorly when an odds-on favourite at Chepstow one week later; fully effective over C&D; can't be dismissed. |
7/1 |
|
7th 1 (3) |
7th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 16y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Useful in his younger days and, having regressed last year, has found his level again of late; easily beat a big field from the front at York last weekend and a 6lb rise may well be within range now he's back in the groove. |

Last turf win came off an 11lb higher mark at Newmarket in August 2022 (6f, good to firm) but has won twice on AW since (6f/7f); sound run when close third to Delicacy over C&D last time last time (good to firm) and although 2lb higher is one with a chance. |

11th Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Won 6f novice at Goodwood last May in good style; 11 months off before hard-fought win at Wolverhampton in April; only seventh on his handicap debut at York Dante meeting (7f, good to firm) but he travelled well before meeting trouble at a crucial stage; returning to 6f could spark further progress. |
6/1 |
|
7th 3 (3) |
14th May 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Truncated 2yo campaign featured a Goodwood win (6f, good); narrowly defied a penalty in Wolverhampton novice event (7f, AW) on reappearance, taking form figures to 211; ties in with Jolly Roger on that running; still open to further progress and is one for the shortlist. |

8st 8lb |
More modest runs than good ones in 2025 but he did bolt up at Doncaster last June (6f, good to firm) and he is 4lb lower now; needs to leave his reappearance effort well behind him and he has finished down the field in his two visits here. |
40/1 |

11th 11 (13) |
29th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |

Has become unreliable but is well treated on his standout performance of 2025, namely a comfortable win off 1lb higher at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) in June; scored over 7f in 2023. |

28th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 5f 212y Class 4 |

25th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Possibly unsuited by soft ground in last two appearances, taking turf record to 0-5; has shown some promise otherwise on grass and remains well treated on AW form (mark in that sphere is 8lb higher). |
10/1 |
|
4 (17) |
24th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Useful AW form, notably when winning a Racing League handicap at Wolverhampton in July; midfield in the Ayr Silver Cup five weeks ago (first run on soft ground); can race off 5lb lower today but others have slightly less to prove. |
20/1 |
|
14th 1 (20) |
20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Lightly raced 3yo whose two wins have come on the AW, looking well ahead of his mark at Wolverhampton (6f) on the latter occasion in July; however, his earlier turf handicap runs suggest he's no good thing to justify a 7lb rise now tackling ground slower than good to firm for the first time. |

Now 16lb lower than when winning at Ascot (6f, good to firm; also suited by 7f) on stable debut last spring, but finished well down the field in all four AW sprints since December and returns to turf with lots to prove. |
20/1 |

8th 7 (2) |
11th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
This his time of year, with two May wins in 2024 and a hat-trick last spring; arrives off the back of a string of modest efforts, though, the returning visor not making much difference last time. |
20/1 |
|
11th 2 (8) |
25th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Landed a turf hat-trick for the visor first going on last spring (won twice in May the year before too); well held in two AW runs from wide stalls this winter and can do better at this lower level with the visor back in place. |

Had a solid 2025, winning three times (5f/6f), but hasn't finished in the first eight this year; dropping in the weights but needs to turn a corner; perhaps a change of headgear will help. |

16th 15 (10) |
13th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Three handicap wins during last season's 3yo campaign (6f/5f, including on good/good to firm) and the return of cheekpieces may be a plus; however, he's been unplaced on both runs this year; has to raise his game. |
25/1 |

9th 8 (13) |
25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

C&D winner who ended his 2025 campaign with a success and creditable effort over 5f at Newcastle (AW); was as good as ever in those two runs but he was well below form on his reappearance at Pontefract (5f, good to soft) 18 days ago; may have needed that run but he needs more progress to defy this mark. |

All three wins have been on AW and latest was at Chelmsford (6f) in January; now 4lb lower than for that success but he's been tailed off in last two runs (turf/Tapeta) and needs a major revival. |

13th 7 (8) |
31st Jul 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |

Better on AW than turf and wouldn't judge him too harshly on latest Ascot run (reportedly unsuited by the fast ground); 2lb lower than for his Chelmsford win in January (6f); not discounted. |

9st 11lb |
Yet to win a handicap but there have been some near misses this summer, including when half a length behind Abbey Heights at Wolverhampton in June; gelded since last in action and he returns with his stable going well; good draw and he's high on the list. |

11th Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |

|
4 (5) |
30th Jun 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Won over 6f on Southwell Tapeta on second start; can probably still raise his game in 6f handicaps, having had a poor run at Newcastle on first attempt and running to a useful level at Haydock in May before a shade onepaced in fourth at Windsor since; the likely good pace here will suit. |
