30th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
Prominent racer who won two 7f turf handicaps last summer; close second at Lingfield (7f) on his penultimate start but his form dipped when fifth of six behind Legal Reform on Boxing Day; a personal best will be required to take this. |
10/1 |

26th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 212y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Front-running wins at Ascot and Chepstow this summer (both 7f, good to firm and good to soft); weak in the market and dropped away tamely at Newcastle five weeks ago; return to 7f and the redeployment of blinkers should give him a lift; considered. |
5/1 |

6 (11) |
21st Aug 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
6f 2yo winner who belatedly returned to winning ways in an Ascot 7f handicap (blinkered) and followed up without much fuss at Chepstow (no headgear), albeit having benefited from his track position; has to deal with a 7lb rise for that last win which could have been a shade flattering; cheekpieces now tried; has competitive form at 1m on the AW. |

25th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Six-time winner, notably the 2023 Ayr Silver Cup, but two years have passed since the last victory; retained ability in a mixed 2025 campaign and he should be sharper with a run under his belt; drying ground won't be in his favour here though. |
12/1 |
|
12th 10 (2) |
7th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 2 |
8st 5lb |
One of the oldest contenders in this field and has done his winning over 6f/7f, mostly on ground softer than good; could well be tapped for toe in this belated first attempt at the minimum trip. |

Without a win since May 2024 but runner-up on three of his last four starts (6f/7f, good to soft/heavy) and his turn may well be near. |

9st 5lb |
Won last season's Great St Wilfrid at Ripon off a 7lb higher mark; didn't run badly at Nottingham (5f, good) on penultimate start and a wide draw offers an excuse at Chester since. |
33/1 |

10th 13 (12) |
8th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Won last season's Great St Wilfrid at Ripon off a 5lb higher mark; didn't run badly at Nottingham 12 days ago (5f, good) but he has a double-figure stall to contend with and could prove vulnerable. |
16/1 |

4th 9 (6) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 3 |

Has a better strike-rate on AW than on turf and has done all his winning over 6f/7f; inconsistent since last success; 0-12 over 5f and doesn't look the answer. |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Record of 122 over 7f on AW once fitted with a visor; however, despite turf achievements early in career, his return to turf at Doncaster (7f, good to soft; second favourite) in March bore no comparison. |
20/1 |
|
12th 13 (11) |
29th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Record of 122, all over 7f on AW, since wearing visor; most recently bumped into thriving rival who was on the second leg of a four-timer; dual winner on turf; solid claims in the retained headgear. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 4 (4) |
6th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Reinvigorated by a visor, winning a C&D handicap (beat Bobby Joe Leg) early last month before a close second at Southwell two weeks ago (Goldmoyne third); up another 2lb today but he threatened to be useful in his youth and should have another big run in him. |

9st 3lb |
Won at Newmarket in May and he did well to finish third over C&D (good) in July, having taken a wide route into the straight; has remained in good form since and has claims if he responds well to first-time visor. |
11/1 |
|
9 (1) |
6th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 37y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Still 5lb higher than when making a successful reappearance at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) in May; latest fifth of 11 over C&D (good to firm) 27 days ago was respectable but underlines he needs a bit more from this mark. |

3rd 6 (4) |
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. |

5th 4 (4) |

6f winner but majority of his wins at 7f; went back-to-back at Chepstow in May/June; not in same form since and returns to AW after a break with his mark still looking tricky; drop back down in trip also a slight query. |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
15 races for one win, at Epsom (7f, good to firm; from 9lb lower) last July; faced 7f on AW for last four starts, with career-best form in two close calls, the latest under Mikkel Mortensen at Southwell late last month but today's stronger race for return to turf surely demands better still. |
14/1 |
|
2nd 7 (1) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Sole win at Epsom (7f, good to firm; from 8lb lower) last July; fine on AW, as shown with near miss at Kempton (7f; beaten a neck) last October; sixth - faring best of the three involved in this race - in recent 7f Class 5 at Kempton; may strip fitter, with Mikkel Mortensen's 5lb claim handy. |
9/2 |

6th 1 (7) |
8th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Last win was in late 2024, but was second over 7f at last year's Galway festival and some good AW runs over the winter; has much lower mark on turf. |
14/1 |
|
11th 1 (4) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Without a win since landing two in a row on the Dundalk Polytrack (6f/7f) in late 2024, and below par there in February last time; however, he's produced some positive performances this winter and has edged back down the weights; might not be far away. |
6/1 |
|
8th 4 (5) |
20th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y |
9st 7lb |
Four-time Dundalk winner, most recently over 7f in December 2024 off 94; creditable runs over same trip this winter but below best in first-time cheekpieces in valuable Newcastle handicap on latest; remains high enough in the weights but possibly the pick of the yard's trio of runners. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Now 11lb lower than when successful for David O'Meara last autumn but has lost his way; it's a long time since he won on turf and even longer since he ran in a sprint, so he is hard to fancy back from a break. |
33/1 |
|
8th 2 (4) |
3rd Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
8lb lower than when successful for David O'Meara over C&D in October, but has lost his way including in five starts for this yard; drops into a Class 6 for the first time in his career, but has plenty to prove; cheekpieces return. |
25/1 |

7th 10 (7) |
12th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Yet to offer much in four runs for his current yard, just eighth of 11 in 7f Kempton handicap 24 days ago; significantly more is required from this three-time C&D winner. |

9st 3lb |
Most of his 14 races at York have been over 7f, including wins in this race in 2024 and another last June; absent since second on AW in January and that's the longest break he's had for two years, which asks a question, but he has to be considered off his last winning mark. |
16/1 |

2nd 7 (3) |
23rd Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Easy to make a case on last year's peak form but signed off with two quiet runs and now back from three months off; not without hope if the break has done him good; has form here. |

11th 7 (7) |
25th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Enters the equation on best 7f form this year but his latest run at York, where he often goes well, was a letdown; seems to handle heavy ground, having finished close up in his sole attempt on it, but it's not necessarily a plus and he has a shade to prove now. |

Didn't make her debut until June but set to make up for lost time judged on the way she strode 3l clear in novice at Newcastle (7f, AW) six weeks ago; lacks experience for a race of this nature but has obvious unexposed potential now making a quick switch to handicaps. |

Ran some good races on turf last season, including a 7f Class 4 win on good to soft at Chepstow; better than ever when readily seeing off 11 rivals at Southwell 12 weeks ago; still looks well treated up just 2lb but he has a bit more to prove over today's trip. |
