29th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Readily landed a division of this race last year and sole win since came in C&D classified contest 34 days ago; should go well, for all that he might be vulnerable to younger legs. |
7/1 |

1st 12 (4) |
26th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Dual C&D handicap winner who's run respectably on his last five starts (all classifieds); beaten just 1l (7f; first-time blinkers, now removed) at Newcastle one week ago and he'll likely be on the premises once more. |

C&D winner who has finished third in classified events on three of his four starts this year; first-time blinkers won't need to give him too much extra. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 1f 35y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
A six-time winner (including here) in 2025; back in good nick of late, third of nine in 1m handicap here ten days ago; in the mix off the same mark. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 7 (8) |
11th Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Unlucky behind a subsequent winner last month and gave her running once more latest, both in small-field C&D affairs that weren't run to suit; the return to a bigger field should help and she has every chance, despite a 3lb higher mark. |
7/2 |

3rd 4 (4) |
17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 68y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Six wins last September-December (including C&D) and she's gone very close to adding to that tally on her last two outings, beaten just a neck over C&D (good) last Saturday despite being badly hampered; lots to like. |

27th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 3m 2f 105y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Six-race maiden over hurdles and 0-19 overall; hasn't shown enough in recent starts under either code to suggest a breakthrough is imminent, and finished tailed off over 2m4f at Worcester four days ago; goes up in trip with stamina to prove. |
14/1 |

7th 10 |
23rd Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Maiden on Flat and over hurdles (0-5); ran poorly on the Flat last time (second-time visor) but very effective in cheekpieces and she has the form to feature off this mark. |
20/1 |
|
4th 5 |
21st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 44y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Maiden on Flat and over hurdles; not wholly disgraced at Bath (1m6f) last week when returned to this sphere but finished only a modest third of five and best form remains on AW. |

31st Aug 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 6 |

Has won at this level but there's a major doubt over her current form; out of sorts since winter. |

25th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
C&D winner; successful at Carlisle last May; solid effort at Southwell in January but little to celebrate since; others bring more pressing claims. |
33/1 |
|
8th 8 (6) |
4th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 173y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Two runs here feature a defeat of Top Gun Tina over C&D (good to soft) last May and a fourth in a division of this race last year; return to this venue will need to prompt a revival after some moderate efforts, however. |

4th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 173y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
22-race ex-French maiden; might have needed her first start since February when down the field at Hamilton (6f, good to soft) last month but that will need plenty of building on. |
25/1 |
|
5th 9 (7) |
10th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 6 |

Exposed 21-race maiden; ran one of her better races when fourth at Wolverhampton in February when last seen but still easy enough to swerve. |

13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Eight times an AW winner but he has run just three times on turf and offered little on each occasion; plenty to prove. |
33/1 |

8th 10 (6) |
29th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Hasn't troubled the judge since returning in December from a short break and finished well behind Spirit Of Bowland over C&D last time. |
33/1 |
|
9th 8 (5) |
26th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Last win away from Newcastle was in 2021; slow starts have been holding him back so both classified fourths over C&D this month can arguably be upgraded; chance rests largely on the start. |

9th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |

4yo maiden; some fair efforts last term, including here, but this season's campaign has been a write off and wind surgery will need to have worked wonders. |
25/1 |
|
11 (7) |
26th Jul 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |

4yo maiden who has been tailed off in both her races this season; now tongue tied. |

6th Jul 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
4yo maiden; record of 442 at classified level includes a respectable fourth in this race last year; needs to bounce back from a dismal reappearance effort. |
