2nd 4 (10) |
16th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Reappeared with a win at Doncaster (7f, good to soft) in March and got up in the final strides to follow up at Southwell (7f, AW); won over 1m last summer and versatile ground-wise; this progressive 5yo is climbing the weights only slowly and could play another leading role. |

30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Well backed at Doncaster (7f Class 4, good to soft) just over a month ago and that support was justified, as he drew clear of his 15 rivals; 4lb higher but no issues with AW and this long home straight should play to his strengths; the one to beat and he has Silvestre De Sousa in the saddle. |

16th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 6lb |
Ended his 2025 campaign with a heavy-ground 7f double at Doncaster; better form this season when third of 22 to Mezcala in the Spring Mile at same track (good to soft) and close third at Chester (7.6f, good) ten days ago, but he's edging back up the weights. |

6th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 127y Class 2 |
8st 6lb |
Ended his 2025 campaign with a heavy-ground 7f double at Doncaster; underlined how well he operates on Town Moor with a good third of 22 in the Spring Mile (good to soft) on reappearance in March; claims if he can reproduce that sort of form at Chester (first visit). |
16/1 |

3rd 16 (9) |
28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |

Ended his 2025 campaign with a heavy-ground 7f double that took his overall record at Doncaster to 3-3; acts on any going and has been very competitive (223) in 1m races on turf; respected kept to this track. |

24th Jul 2025 Soft 1m 0f 3y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Prolific winner who was in fine form through the winter but progress was stalled by a three-month absence when well beaten at Carlisle (1m, soft; ground no excuse); would have each-way claims if back on song a month later. |
25/1 |

25th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |

Has won three of his last four regulation races, two on the AW and the other at Doncaster in March (1m, good); won the charity race at York for the second time 12 days ago, goes well on soft ground and one to take seriously. |

15th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Finally got the job done in Windsor contest (1m, good to firm) last week and did it comfortably, opening his account at the 18th attempt; great chance under a penalty, provided he's in the same form back down in trip; due to go up 4lb in future. |

7th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 5 |

0-17 but he's a consistent sort and posted a solid fourth of 12 in 1m Wetherby handicap 11 days ago; ought to be thereabouts again. |

26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

16-race maiden but regularly placed; down the field at Doncaster on his reappearance four weeks ago but drops in class today and should be sharper. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Turf maiden winner who scored in fine style in a handicap at Newcastle (7f, AW) last October; on that evidence this 7lb higher mark isn't necessarily beyond him, but he needs to improve upon what he produced on his last two outings in November and December. |
16/1 |
|
3 (10) |
27th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Two wins this year, the latest at Kempton (7f, Polytrack) last month, while he ran better than it looked when fifth of 11 back there 19 days later (wide trip); runner-up in both starts over this distance on Tapeta elsewhere and should go well. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
0-17 but he's finished in the first three on 11 occasions, including in each of his three starts this year; beaten a neck here over 8.5f last summer and he's a solid contender once again. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 1 (4) |
15th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
0-16 but he'd gone close at 1m and did so again over 1m2f when third of 13 at Yarmouth (good; Beach Point fourth) on his reappearance last month; returning cheekpieces did little harm when second to unexposed sort over that C&D (good to firm; Beach Point third) a fortnight ago; should be thereabouts again. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 4 (3) |
30th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 23y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
0-15 but involved in some tight finishes at 1m and also over C&D recently on his second go at 1m2f (one place ahead of Beach Point); off the same mark, he should be seriously involved if the returning cheekpieces (worn on penultimate start last term, ran creditably) don't have a negative effect. |

22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Three of his four wins have come over C&D, including in this race 12 months ago; 1lb lower than for his last win and he should be at concert pitch with two runs under his belt; one for the shortlist. |
4/1 |
|
8th 10 (4) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
His last three wins have come over 1m at Pontefract but he finished down the field at that track on his recent return to action; that run could have sharpened him up and he is on a winning mark; not ruled out. |
14/1 |
|
7th 8 (4) |
7th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |

Has registered three of his four wins over C&D, the most recent off just 1lb lower last June; ran respectably at Newmarket when last seen; one for the shortlist back here. |

9st 5lb |
Signed off for George Boughey with a breakthrough 1m Lingfield success and in good form since for his current trainer, runner-up in 1m Kempton handicap 22 days ago; he can make his presence felt again. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 7 (5) |
21st Jan 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
His win for George Boughey was achieved over a mile and his three runs for new connections have been 5f, 6f and 7f; latest Southwell run was more promising and he is one to be interested back up in distance. |
5/1 |
|
6 (6) |
23rd Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 5 |

Juvenile hurdler who had wind surgery prior to justifying favouritism at Market Rasen (2m, good to soft) two months ago; considering his Flat mark, he looks well treated in this first crack at a handicap hurdle; highly respected. |

27th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Continues to edge down the weights and he's well treated on the pick of this winter's course form; however, he appears to have gone off the boil on his last few outings and needs to raise his game. |
8/1 |
|
6th 9 (5) |
11th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
2lb lower than for his Newcastle win in December but his form has gone off the boil more recently; Billy Loughnane, who was aboard for the Newcastle win, is back on today so a revival wouldn't be a bolt from the blue. |
10/1 |

6th 4 (7) |
28th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

11th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 113y Class 5 |

Often leads; won this race (soft) off this mark last year but his form has dipped noticeably since two creditable thirds in June; last time's Racing League appearance can be forgiven, however, and he's not totally dismissed back here. |

20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Dual course winner who scored twice at Wolverhampton (7f/8.6f) in March; only 1lb higher than for his last win and he's had excuses with traffic issues and a slow start in last two runs; should get a good tow into this race and has possibilities if he gets the breaks; cheekpieces reapplied. |
12/1 |
|
6th 3 (10) |
6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Two wins and a near-miss to his name in eight starts here and boasts a decent record in the spring down the years, added to when he went in twice at Wolverhampton in March; hit traffic last time and the harder they go the better for him. |
7/1 |
|
4th 6 (9) |
25th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Returned to winning form at Wolverhampton (8.5f) last month and followed up back there (7f) seven days later; back up in grade in search of a three-timer and although this looks tougher he cannot de discounted. |
