7th 4 (1) |
23rd May 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
4yo who made his debut last May and progressed very nicely, his campaign culminating in Listed third at Ascot (5f, soft) in October; returned with Listed third at Naas (5f, good) where he might have won with a clear run; others have better form but he's unexposed and could have more to offer. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 7 (3) |
27th Apr 2026 Yielding 0m 5f 0y |
9st 9lb |
British raider from a yard that has started the season strongly; highly progressive last year, winning a maiden and two handicaps before a close third in the Listed Rous Stakes at Ascot (5f, soft); ground-versatile and, while he has a bit to find on paper, can't be dismissed. |
9/1 |
|
3rd 4 (3) |
4th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Low-mileage 3yo who continues to raise his game, defying top weight in handicap at Doncaster (5f, soft) three weeks ago in game fashion; may have more in the tank but he'll need it in this higher grade. |

18th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Impressed on his stable debut at Doncaster in August (6f, good to firm; back from a 606-day break) but he has made no impact in two handicaps since; too much to prove for comfort. |
16/1 |
|
2 (14) |
14th Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Won a 7f maiden for the Gosdens and a 6f novice here (good to firm) by 4l on debut for current yard; faced a tough task on handicap debut at York but was easy to back (18-1) and trailed in nearly last; drops back to 5f for the first time with a tongue-tie added. |
12/1 |
|
18 (13) |
23rd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Has a very different profile from most of these with just three outings to date; on the second of them he won over 7f on the AW (final outing for the Gosdens) and on the third he overcame a long absence to hammer his six rivals in a novice at Doncaster (6f, good to firm; made all); in deeper here and will need another leap forward but he could be anything. |

26th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Without a win since August 2024 but well treated on last year's best efforts and he shaped when seventh of 14 over C&D three weeks ago as though he'd be sharper for that comeback run; seems to like it here; on the shortlist. |
7/1 |
|
7th 12 (9) |
4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 1y Class 2 |
8st 6lb |
A losing sequence is mounting but he has a win and a third from just two attempts over C&D, and the latter was first time out last season; 7lb lower here and he's of obvious interest if cherry ripe after 161 days off (has had wind surgery); one of two very plausible candidates for the Barrons. |
11/2 |
|
11 (5) |
25th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 5f 3y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Close second in this race 12 months ago (Oisin Murphy on board) when rated 4lb higher; knocking at the door this season and the addition of cheekpieces could give him a lift; shortlisted. |

16th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Should be thrown in on even last season's best but he has found it tough going for Robert Cowell this year; drops in class with cheekpieces fitted but drawn widest and others look safer. |
33/1 |
|
6 (8) |
14th Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Off a 3lb lower mark when very nearly winning a 6f Class 2 handicap here last October (soft) on final run for John Ryan; however, a case can't be made on what he's shown during a light 2025 campaign. |
33/1 |
|
1 (5) |
21st Aug 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Interesting on the pick of his form and he's on the same mark as when second in a better race at Doncaster last October (6f, soft); two modest efforts for his new yard this year but this is less taxing than the Stewards' Cup last time. |

21st May 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

His mark continues to fall but for good reason and this 9yo arrives with plenty to prove; wears a first-time tongue-tie; visor is removed. |

6th 2 (2) |
19th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Well handicapped but hasn't obviously hinted as if likely to take advantage soon in his two outings this year, finishing last of six at Southwell last Saturday; visored first time. |

20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Scored off this mark at Chelmsford (5f) last July; should be sharper following a run at Newmarket last month and steps back up to 6f; not out of this. |
8/1 |
|
7th 7 (3) |
14th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
An improved spell over 5f last July included an AW win and a close second in a Racing League race at Yarmouth (soft); unable to sustain that level after but he hasn't had many chances in 5f handicaps and may well do better this year, if not today. |

On a losing run and he has yet to win over this trip; sent off favourite for the corresponding race 12 months ago but faded into tenth; 6lb lower this time around and he has finished second in two of his last four starts; vulnerable to stronger stayers. |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Tremendous stable servant over the years with 17 wins; understandably not the force of old but won on 2025 reappearance (off 6lb higher) and has a strong York record (6-18). |
25/1 |

9th 6 (3) |
4th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Tremendous stable servant over the years with 17 wins; not the force of old but he showed there's still some fire in his belly with a fifth of 13 at Doncaster (5f, soft) three weeks ago off 2lb higher; has a win and a second from just two outings here; makes the shortlist. |

Won a Class 4 handicap at Ripon on his return in April (6f, good; 2lb higher); heavy defeats have followed and he could do with the ground softening up back at 5f. |

15th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |

25th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 5f 3y Class 2 |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Split James's Delight and Elmonjed in top 3yo handicap over C&D (good to soft) in 2024; failed to win in 2025 but he has edged down the weights and his three runs for Paul Midgley have been quite encouraging, faring best of those in the far-side group when sixth of 16 back on turf at Ripon (6f, good to soft) 37 days ago; considered. |
25/1 |
|
6th 7 (6) |
16th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Failed to win in 2025 but he has edged down the weights and his two AW runs for Paul Midgley have both been encouraging enough; no issue with the return to turf; type to win races sooner rather than later. |

6th 7 (8) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

All four wins when trained by Craig Lidster; drew a blank for Ivan Furtado last year but was second over 6f at Kempton on final start; faded as if his first outing for this yard was needed when eighth of 11 over 6f here 15 days ago; should last longer this time. |

Has won just once since April 2024, at Sandown (5f, good; from 6lb higher) last July; joined this trainer soon after for 15,000gns, and runner-up on stable debut; nowhere near his best in three starts this year, including when twelfth of 20 at York (6f; 50-1) latest. |

Four wins over 5f for Iain Jardine, but unplaced in three starts on the AW since returning for this yard in January; 8lb below last winning mark, but drying ground and return to 6f pose questions; cheekpieces return. |

5th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

A fair 5f scorer for Iain Jardine; shaped encouragingly for his new yard when fourth at Southwell (5f) in January but raced too freely over 6f when seventh at Wolverhampton since; can bounce back here. |

Ended a lengthy losing run at Southwell in January and posted a respectable effort at Newmarket (5f, good) last month; however, he was down the field at Ascot (5f, good to firm) 12 days ago and is now just 1-46 on turf; others preferred. |

Ended a lengthy losing run at Southwell in January and he is just 1lb higher today; solid effort at Newmarket 17 days ago when not ideally positioned; each-way claims at a track where he has run well in much better races than this one. |

4th 8 (6) |
14th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
8st 6lb |
Close call in a Group 3 here in 2022 and deserves so much better than his very modest turf strike-rate, given how many fine races he continues to run in defeat, such as when going down narrowly to both Rosario and Regal Envoy on different 5f runs (good and good to firm) last May; some cold comfort that he won on AW in January but tough to support for the win. |
