22nd May 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Veteran whose two 2025 wins were at this track over 1m6f and 1m5f; placed twice over hurdles last November but last week's run in that sphere (after a Flat reappearance here) was disappointing and dents his appeal. |
8/1 |

4th 1 |
12th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 147y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
In good form without winning (runner-up over 2m3f at Taunton) before Christmas and should be sharper for a recent fifth on the Flat at Bath; this veteran needs considering. |
6/1 |
|
5th 6 (4) |
17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 2m 1f 24y Class 5 |
8st 6lb |
Has done a lot of his winning in Jersey but he scored here (1m5f, firm) in the autumn and was runner-up over hurdles at Taunton (2m3f) in his final run in 2025; returns after 141 days off but he needs watching in market back on the Flat. |

4th May 2026 Firm 1m 3f 137y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Backed up a good run on the AW with a fourth here last week when just behind Knightmare; a tongue-tie returns along with new blinkers; thereabouts. |
5/1 |
|
4th 1 (2) |
27th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 137y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Showed clear signs of a return to form with fourth-place finish in latest AW start and he is just as effective on turf; possibilities off 1lb below last winning mark. |
3/1 |
|
4th 2 (2) |
26th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 5f 66y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
On last winning mark but his two efforts this year leave a big doubt over current form; best watched unless the market speaks positively. |

11th May 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Three wins here over the extended 2m in recent times, latterly off 2lb lower; the return to Tapeta will suit, off the back of two ordinary efforts, but others make greater appeal. |
14/1 |

5th 5 |
3rd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 44y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Looked as good as ever when keeping on well for narrow win at Wolverhampton (2m, AW) in March but his latest AW run was disappointing and his turf strike-rate is modest (1-15); others preferred. |
10/1 |
|
9th 1 (1) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Bounced back from Chelmsford flop (1m6f, Polytrack) to win at Wolverhampton (2m, Tapeta) last time; his last three wins have come there but he ran well on his previous AW outing here and is entitled to respect. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Front-runner who came second twice at Bath (11.6f/1m2f, firm) last month; subsequent lesser effort there is probably best overlooked (slowly away after anticipating start), and she can give this a good shot. |
4/1 |
|
5th 6 (6) |
13th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 137y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
In-form mare whose record at Bath features wins in 2024/2025 and a couple of second-place finishes (over 11.6f/1m2f) since returned to turf from AW, the penultimate occasion behind Moon Over The Sea; weighted to reverse the placings; good chance. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 7 (5) |
29th Apr 2026 Firm 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Below her best on the AW this winter but she returned to some form when runner-up here at around 1m4f on Monday; that was her first start for 77 days and this dual course winner should have no issue with the drop back in trip. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Won three consecutive times in refitted blinkers last June/July, most recently off today's mark over C&D (good to firm), but made a low-key reappearance three weeks ago and needs that run to have brought him on. |
8/1 |
|
6th 6 (5) |
9th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 179y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Bagged a hat-trick (including over C&D) last summer and he signed off for 2025 with a solid third in 1m6f Wolverhampton handicap in October; has won off a break too. |
14/1 |
|
3 (2) |
20th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Completed a hat-trick at about 1m4f this summer and probably matched all that form when second over 1m4f here four weeks ago; should be fine over this far and rates a solid contender. |

29th Sep 2025 Good 2m 2f 110y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Badly out of form over fences and on the Flat for the Flint stable this year, and was well beaten in 2m4f Warwick chase for new trainer on Tuesday; needs combination of return to hurdling and refitted cheekpieces to rekindle his enthusiasm. |
16/1 |
|
9th 1 |
23rd Sep 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Two-time chase winner but last success in this sphere was in 2022 and he's deteriorated considerably since; has switched yards since his last run and is well treated if new trainer can get a tune out of him. |
20/1 |
|
8 |
31st Aug 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Two-time chase winner who won off this mark over hurdles here last July; however, he's been well beaten over fences and on the Flat on his four outings this year and needs a major turnaround. |
