15th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Progressive 5yo who was taking his record over C&D to 3-3 when beating Melek Alreeh here 13 days ago; could have even more to offer and is one of the leading contenders off this 2lb higher mark. |

30th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Has made great strides since winning a classified event in July 2024, winning three times on Polytrack, most recently over C&D in March; hampered start at Lingfield in September before involved in a tight finish and seems likely to find another race off this mark. |

21st Jan 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Won a 1m3f Class 5 handicap at Southwell in October and slightly better form when collared late over 1m2f at Lingfield 11 days ago; 1lb higher in a better race but current wellbeing will count for plenty here. |
9/2 |

30th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
3-36 and has suffered heavy defeats on turf in two his last three starts, but he went down by just a head at Kempton (1m3f, Polytrack) in between; perhaps not the most reliable, but would be a player on that form. |

27th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Had a productive time of things in 2025 when the visor went on, winning on four occasions, including over this C&D last June; well beaten on the AW at Newcastle in November and he was too free on his comeback run at Ripon (1m2f, good) 19 days ago; may take a step forward from that but will need to. |
12/1 |

8th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Had a highly productive time on turf last season including four wins (1m1f/1m2f) and four seconds; struggled in his hat-trick bid in November but that was on AW and he still looks feasibly treated on his penultimate form; interesting contender who needs a close look on return. |

27th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Rolled back the years with a front-running 1m2f win at Ripon ten days ago; only has a 4lb penalty to deal with and Jake Dickson is good value for his 7lb claim; unlikely to get a soft time of things up front though. |
9/4 |

1st 10 (1) |
17th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Grand veteran striving to maintain his record of winning at least once every year since 2017; not the force of old and although he is down to a career-low mark, this looks a tad too competitive for him nowadays. |
14/1 |
|
9th 10 (11) |
8th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
12-time turf winner including over C&D; hasn't made a serious impact in his two runs (1m) this season but he's now back on last winning mark and could be dangerous back up in trip; one of three runners for the yard. |

2nd Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Showed signs of a return to form at Ripon last time; no certainty to build on that effort, having been inconsistent since a hat-trick last August, but otherwise has become attractively handicapped. |
8/1 |
|
5th 11 (12) |
17th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Rattled off a three-timer last August (two of which were over C&D); yet to get going this year, down the field at Doncaster and Nottingham; now 2lb lower than her last winning mark but doesn't look ready to take advantage. |
16/1 |
|
10th 14 (13) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Reeled off a fast-ground hat-trick over this trip last August; also runner-up off 2lb higher at Redcar (1m2f, good to soft) in the autumn but never involved on Doncaster return three weeks ago. |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
9-96; just failed to reel in Wyvern over 7f here in December but laboured since; weakened, well down the field at Ripon (1m, good; beaten 17l) latest; is fairly treated but the chances are that age is beginning to catch up with him. |
10/1 |

12th 5 (5) |
17th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Has three course wins over 1m2f; hasn't figured at Redcar or Ayr since returning to turf last month; best watched. |
16/1 |
|
6th 7 (8) |
5th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Into the veteran stage but on a competitive mark on form as recent as December; recent Redcar run should have sharpened him up but others may have his measure for win purposes. |
10/1 |
