4th 1 (9) |
1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Took full advantage of the drop into Class 4 company when readily seeing off five rivals at Redcar last week (1m, good to firm); penalised in a deeper race but he still commands serious respect. |
5/2 |
|
1st 1 (5) |
26th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Two wins last season, over C&D in April (good) and off 1lb lower over 1m1f at York in June (good to firm; beat Cosmos Raj by a nose); not disgraced in two competitive handicaps this season and is the one to beat now down in grade. |

6th 13 (12) |
2nd May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Ended last season with a good third to Man Of La Mancha over 1m1f on this course (good to firm); shaped as if retaining all his ability when seventh of 22 in the Spring Mile at Doncaster, short of room closing stages; should be spot-on with that run behind him and looks ready to strike. |

18th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Front-runner who won when upped to 1m2f at York (good) in July and followed up in a big field there (1m2f, good to firm) at the Ebor meeting; has also won here and shown promise on soft ground; unexposed at today's trip and has gone up just 3lb for last time; can make another bold bid. |
11/2 |
|
1st 8 (8) |
23rd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Back to form with a bang when seeing off his eight rivals over C&D (good) six weeks ago, albeit benefitting from a fine front-running ride from Danny Tudhope, poaching a clear early lead which he never looked like relinquishing; doubtful he'll be allowed as much rope this time. |

11th Jul 2025 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |

28th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 3 |
8st 9lb |
Runner-up three times last season, including C&D; respectable fourth of ten to Spioradalta on C&D reappearance (good to soft); well beaten at the York Dante meeting since but should find this a bit easier. |
12/1 |
|
10th 17 (7) |
15th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
8st 5lb |
Runner-up three times last season, including in a big field over C&D (good), and he could improve for last month's reappearance run at Ripon; however, this is a tough contest in which to try to snap a 13-race losing run. |
20/1 |
|
4th 6 (5) |
16th Apr 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
0-11 last year when not at his best on his final few runs; however, he was runner-up three times last season, including in this race on his reappearance (good), and he's 2lb lower 12 months on; capable of having a big say. |

27th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
His five wins include one over C&D last May; below his best on his first two starts this year but took a step back in the right direction when a 2l fifth of 12 at Ripon (1m2f, good) 19 days ago; contender. |
9/2 |
|
5th 5 (2) |
8th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Five-time winner, three times at around 1m2f (good/good to firm) last summer; well handicapped on his best form last season but he's been quiet in two runs this spring and needs to rediscover his spark. |
12/1 |
|
6th 3 (9) |
20th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Won three times last summer and ran well when placed subsequently; well held when tenth of 12 on his return at Wolverhampton (9.5f, AW) three weeks ago and is still 2lb higher than his last winning mark. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
On a long losing run but he's twice gone close on AW this year (7f/1m) and fared best of the eight-strong centre group when fifth of 13 here (1m, good to firm) a fortnight ago; might not be far away. |
8/1 |
|
5th 9 (14) |
2nd May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
On a lengthy losing run but he's knocking firmly at the door, just edged out in a first-time tongue-strap at Lingfield (1m) four weeks ago; goes well at Newmarket and makes plenty of each-way appeal. |
14/1 |
|
2nd 9 (1) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
From a wide draw he did plenty of early running to get his position at Wolverhampton (7f) two weeks ago and that softened him up in the finish; without a win since 2023, but well drawn, stays this far and a tongue-tie is added. |

9st 2lb |
Versatile and consistent handicapper who landed the 2025 Cesarewitch (2m2f) in most recent turf attempt and has been placed in all AW starts (1m2f-2m) this year; however, faces a very difficult task at the weights upped in class. |

15th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Has slipped to a career-low mark and well-backed fifth of 15 when returned to turf at Doncaster (1m2f) in March last time wasn't too bad; however, his record over that sort of trip is far more appealing than his two runs at 1m4f and his turf tally is 0-11. |
10/1 |
|
5th 3 (13) |
28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Drawn a blank since AW debut success but was placed over this trip on turf (good/good to firm) off higher marks last season; hard to get too excited by this winter's AW efforts but it's possible an eight-week break could have had a reviving effect; one to note in the betting. |
10/1 |
|
10th 8 (10) |
30th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
7f Tapeta winner but has not won since that debut in 2023; was a close second on turf from a higher mark last season but needs to be much better than his latest AW effort. |

18th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Placed twice since dropped back to 1m last month, more recently when very close third (just behind The Sweet Escape) at Leicester (1m, good to firm) nine days ago; competes off same mark here; big player if new cheekpieces have any positive effect. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 1 (10) |
9th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 53y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Without a win since 2024 but he got right back on track when second of ten in 1m Ripon handicap two weeks ago; up 2lb but well in the mix. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 9 (7) |
25th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Last turf win was here (1m2f, good to soft; from 6lb higher) in June 2024; fair third at Wolverhampton (8.5f; 10-1) on penultimate start but took a backward step at Doncaster (1m2f) subsequently; easing mark isn't enough to tempt. |

8th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
All five wins have been at around 1m2f on good or quicker; last success was off 5lb lower but he reappeared with a fair third in Class 4 event over C&D (good to soft) last month; should go well on this drop back in grade and it would be a positive if the ground dries out. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 10 (1) |
16th Apr 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Down the field on final two runs last season but he may have been ready for a break; on a handy mark based on his form last August and could be a contender for last year's winning yard. |
14/1 |
|
9 (1) |
28th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Disappointing at Chester last time but won over the 1m2f there in August and was placed in his next two runs; effective on the AW but others might be better in here. |
16/1 |
