31st May 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
6lb lower than when winning at Haydock last summer (1m, good to firm); two creditable runs in defeat this season and he now drops in class. |
3/1 |
|
7th 14 (2) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 3 |
8st 7lb |
Ended 2025 in poor form but he built up a head of steam to take a late fourth on his recent Pontefract return (1m, good); now 4lb lower than his Haydock win (1m, good to firm) last August so weighted to be competitive. |
9/1 |

9th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Now 4lb lower than for his win at Haydock (1m, good to firm) last summer and he wasn't beaten far on his reappearance at Pontefract (1m, good) ten days ago; should get a decent tow into this race and has claims if he can build on that last run. |

20th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Lightly raced 5yo who went close on handicap debut at Haydock (1m, good to firm) last August and, after three lesser runs on AW, was back on song when 1l third at Nottingham (8.3f, good) 11 days ago; this front-runner can make another bold bid and could be bang there once more. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 8 (13) |
9th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Won a Ripon novice in final 2yo run and he started last season with a close call in a Haydock handicap (1m, good to firm); looks interesting on that form but he's had only three runs since and has been well held in all of them; still lightly raced but he needs to turn things around back on turf. |
20/1 |
|
10th 4 (7) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Lightly raced 5yo who has progressive turf form; hasn't translated that to AW in two attempts but still early days and it's possible he needed last month's reappearance after wind surgery. |

23rd Sep 2025 Heavy 0m 7f 96y Class 4 |

A dual C&D scorer in the summer; didn't fire in 1m Haydock handicap 17 days ago but no surprise if he bounces back here. |

6th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 37y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Three wins on turf (good/soft) since May and he may well have had a fourth here last month but for meeting trouble; last week's fourth of 13 in a Racing League event at Southwell (1m) shows he's still in form; considered. |

Smooth win at Newcastle (7f) in December and now rated 2lb lower; that is a result of beating just one horse home in four subsequent starts; jury out for now. |

6th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

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. |

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. |

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 |

27th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 96y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
8.4f second or third last spring on his three outings at this track, twice from the front; two 1m wins at Ripon last summer, showing form which has not been recaptured this season but he has a competitive mark. |
25/1 |
|
7th 7 (11) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Did pretty well to finish fourth on recent seasonal debut at Thirsk (1m, good to firm), given he raced too freely, and he's now back on same mark as when pipping Travis at Ripon (1m, good) last summer. |
10/1 |

2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |

Two wins last summer, both over 1m at Ripon (good and good to firm); ended that campaign with two lesser efforts; betting useful back from six months off with his trainer running three. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Modest 2-26 strike-rate and refused to race once in the autumn; however, he's often run well in competitive races, as when third of 19 at York (1m, good) last July and was hampered next time; creditable return for new yard at Redcar (first-time hood, cheekpieces now refitted) this month; involved. |
14/1 |
|
6th 6 (9) |
7th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
Successful twice (1m2f/1m) in Ireland earlier in his career; talented but failed to win in 14 starts for Iain Jardine, including refusing to race on his penultimate outing last year; it's possible a change of stable (same owner) could spark a revival but a watching brief is still the percentage call here; hooded first time. |
22/1 |
|
16th 9 (11) |
11th Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
2-24 with both wins coming for Ger Lyons in Ireland (1m/1m2f); finished a close third of 19 behind Billyb here (1m, good) in July, but he refused to race at Ayr three weeks ago and has enough to prove after that. |

Record of 7-20 on AW and 2-3 since wearing visor; midfield in notable handicap at Lingfield (1m2f) most recently, shaping as if this return to further is worth exploring; could go well in the retained headgear. |

17th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |

2-2 since visored, following a 1m2f Chelmsford win with a ready success at Wolverhampton last month (9.5f); up 4lb and drawn widest so she will need to produce another personal best to complete her hat-trick. |
12/1 |

4th Nov 2025 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 4 |

Five-time AW winner who looks a solid contender, having shown herself back in better form with third-place finishes off current mark at Southwell (1m) in last three outings; should be thereabouts again. |

28th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Won a Thirsk novice (1m, good) in July; gelded afterwards and only tenth of 11 when second favourite for handicap debut at Haydock (1m) 18 days ago, albeit not beaten far; that sees cheekpieces installed today but there's also the chance that good to firm ground was not ideal that day and that stepping up to 1m2f will suit him. |

1st 6 (4) |
28th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |

Off the mark at the 16th attempt when overcoming adversity to win a C&D handicap in February; similar form when second at Kempton last month and subsequent turf flop easy enough to forgive (yet to show anything on grass); better expected back on AW and with Billy Loughnane booked. |
