9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 115y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Exposed 8yo but he was returning from 264 days off when winning by 3.5l at Ffos Las nine days ago (2m, good), despite pulling hard; Zoe Lewis rides again with a 4lb penalty; if as good again he'll be tough to beat. |

Missed a chunk of his career and has been steadily regressive since; hit and miss last backend and is entitled to need this at his age after nine months off; wouldn't want too much rain. |

11st 11lb |
A three-time chase winner (at up to 3m2f) last season; pulled up in 2m7f handicap chase here in May, so has it to prove on his first run in this sphere since April 2024. |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Won three handicap chases last season (one over C&D on good) and back on his last winning mark; however, he's finished a remote last in his final two chase starts. |

Dropping down the weights but tailed off at big odds on both starts this season and this 5yo is 0-8; major turnaround needed in first-time headgear. |
25/1 |

10th 5 (8) |
22nd May 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Has not come up to scratch over 1m4f-2m1f in her four handicaps (trained last year by Marcus Tregoning, 2026 reappearance with this yard) and two of those were at this track, but she has fallen 9lb in the process. |

Lightly raced Nathaniel mare who failed to kick on when sent handicapping in 2025, seventh of 12 in 2m1f Bath handicap in October; since changed hands for 11,000gns and she needs to hit the ground running for her new yard after seven months off the track. |

9th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 1f 24y Class 6 |

Convincing winner at Catterick (2m, good) in August and following effort was respectable; ran no race last time at Chester but wouldn't be without hope if back on song. |
20/1 |

11th 13 (1) |
12th Sep 2025 Good 1m 7f 196y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Returned to turf with convincing win at Catterick (2m good) last month and has the plum inside draw here but had to settle for fifth off new mark a fortnight ago and may find younger rivals better handicapped again. |
12/1 |
|
1 (8) |
28th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Five-time AW winner whose success at Catterick (2m, good) three weeks ago was a first win on turf for nearly four years; might need a fraction more up 4lb but that was a pretty convincing success; Colin Keane's first ride for the yard; respected. |

Beaten favourite on the AW last time when seeking a fifth win on those surfaces; 0-5 on turf and probably best to look elsewhere. |

18th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 68y Class 6 |

Early summer has always tended to be her time of year but she's regressed in recent times, is into the veteran stage and entitled to need this after seven months off; others hold more pressing claims. |
12/1 |

9th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 1f 24y Class 6 |

Hasn't won for a while but some fair efforts this year, last time finishing upside Assured here; possibilities, especially should the ground dry out. |

13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 24y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Five-time Flat winner; ended losing run when winning a small-field novice handicap hurdle three weeks ago; has the ability to play a big part but breaking on terms is an issue for him. |
3/1 |
|
1st 2 |
24th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Lots of Flat racing and lowly rated these days; hadn't shown much over hurdles but kept finding to finish a 5.5l third over 2m4f here 22 days ago on his handicap debut, and this longer trip looks the obvious move. |
100/30 |

3rd 11 |
2nd May 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 3 |

Lowly rated these days on the Flat and has shown little in three runs over hurdles; makes handicap hurdle debut up in trip and needs to show significant improvement. |

10th Jun 2026 Good 1m 6f 17y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Sole win from 14 starts came on the AW at Chelmsford (1m6f) in December but he's posted some good efforts since, including on turf at Catterick (2m, good to firm) 11 days ago; each-way chance. |
3/1 |

2nd 2 (6) |
30th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 189y Class 6 |

Has been running creditably on the AW this year (in the frame on last three starts, all over 2m at Southwell); could go well, but below best three previous runs on turf. |
9/4 |

3rd 2 (6) |
7th May 2026 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
One win from 12 starts; posted a solid effort when third of nine in first-time blinkers here in February and probably would have benefited from a stronger gallop when fourth over C&D 35 days ago (Charlie Darling was third); claims. |

A three-time winner at up to 2m under varying tactics; two respectable efforts at Ripon this spring but weakened quickly and tailed off at Pontefract latest; can only watch after that. |

12th 6 (3) |
8th Jun 2026 Good 2m 1f 27y Class 6 |

4th 7 (3) |
17th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Won three times (once from rear, twice making all) at up to 2m last term on the Flat for Paddy Butler; remote this year in his two hurdle races (three-runner race last time) but he was a fair third over C&D (a head behind No More Bolero) in between and peak form gives him a good shout. |

13th Sep 2025 Soft 2m 1f 24y Class 6 |

1-20, with the win coming in a classified event at Wolverhampton (9.5f, AW; first-time blinkers) last February; runner-up on three occasions, including on good to firm at Chepstow last summer, but was well held at Yarmouth (soft) 15 days ago. |

1-19, with the win coming in a classified event at Wolverhampton (9.5f, AW; first-time blinkers) last February; however, he has been in the first three on six occasions, including on turf on a variety of ground; returns to turf with place claims. |

19th May 2026 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 6 |

Inclined to pull hard in this headgear combination for the first time on his comeback and that was a solid effort all things considered (Nymphaea fourth); always the danger he'll do the same under Hope Regan (0-16) but claims if settling. |

18th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 68y Class 6 |

Seven wins over 2m on the AW here; getting on and lacks consisency now; hard to recommend having twice been pulled up over hurdles latterly. |

7 |
5th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 116y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Had lots of Flat racing and won eight times; has yet to offer a great deal over jumps (0-7) but soft ground was no good to him here last time; others are still far more convincing. |
