27th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Thriving since the cheekpieces went on, scoring at Southwell (1m4f) in February and bettering that form when beaten 1l by Son Of Man over C&D 24 days ago; enjoys a 2lb weights pull now so he's a likely player. |

2nd 1 (2) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Running well this year, winning at Southwell (1m4f, Tapeta; first-time cheekpieces) in February and going down by a neck in two starts over this C&D either side; up another 1lb, but another big effort is expected. |

28th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Had a bit so spare when seeing off ten rivals in a 1m4f Southwell handicap last week; has a bit of class for this level and he's likely to make another bold bid. |

1st Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Strong form when runner-up at Kempton (1m4f, AW) in May 2024; lightly raced since and unable to get competitive, most recently in Newmarket handicap (1m1f, good); it's possible he'll still be the main threat to Empirestateofmind, however; wears a first-time visor. |

One-time useful but looking regressive and was tailed off at Windsor (extended 1m3f, soft) on return from an absence; bit to prove now, especially at this trip. |

2nd May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Recorded his tenth win when scoring at Wolverhampton (2m, Tapeta) in January; held his form with creditable efforts in next three starts but his good spell came to a halt at Lingfield last month; has bit to prove again after that heavy defeat and his last turf win was in 2022. |
10/1 |

13th 10 (11) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Three course wins have come over 1m4f, but he has won over this sort of trip elsewhere; finished half a length behind St Faz when third of four at Southwell (1m6f, Tapeta) and now 11lb better off; each-way claims. |
18/1 |

26th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 5 |

Multiple winner who arrives in form, his success at Wolverhampton (Tapeta) in January followed by solid third at Kempton (also about 2m, Polytrack) a fortnight later; ran well for second over extended 2m2f here three weeks ago and just as effective over this shorter trip; warrants respect. |

3-8 over hurdles for Tom Dascombe (often with forcing tactics) and he won his first two on the Flat once joining this yard; solid fourth of 13 from the rear at Warwick (2m, good to soft; kept on) 11 days ago; respected. |
6/1 |

8th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |

28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Multiple Flat wins at 1m-1m4f, including on heavy; unable to make a significant impact on the Flat last autumn but he's run with credit over hurdles in recent months and is well treated back on the level (6lb below his last winning mark); considered. |
10/1 |

2nd 4 |
9th Feb 2026 Heavy 1m 7f 156y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Multiple Flat wins at 1m-1m4f, including on heavy; switched to hurdling late in the day but he's taken surprisingly well to this game, running two good races at Leicester (extended 1m7f; soft and heavy), and may well improve for this easier stamina test now handicapping; thereabouts. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 11 |
20th Jan 2026 Soft 1m 7f 113y Class 4 |

8-46 on the Flat; left it rather late in the day to launch his hurdling career but went down fighting over C&D (soft) just after Christmas and has a good chance if in similar form again. |

22nd May 2026 Soft 1m 3f 218y Class 3 |

Consistent AW handicapper and a seven-time winner in that sphere; only 1-9 on turf and appears to have a difficult task off current mark, especially in this grade, returned to this sphere. |
16/1 |

3rd 5 (5) |
4th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Tough mare who has been in good form on the AW since December (13341333), the wins coming at Southwell (1m4f, Tapeta) and here (1m3f); return to this trip should suit and unlikely to be far away. |

30th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Uneven form in her four starts, but her fourth of 11 on handicap debut at Goodwood (1m2f, good; 50-1) 18 days ago was encouraging (winner has gone in again since); should stay the extra furlong and not dismissed. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Often slowly away but it hasn't prevented her from winning three times on the AW since October (9.4f-1m4f); this trip more suitable than the 1m she tackled at Bath 19 days ago; untried on faster than good. |
8/1 |

8th 4 (8) |
5th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
3-9 since a hood went on, including wins under Ashley Lewis at Wolverhampton (1m4f and 9.4f) on two of her last three starts; unraced over a trip this short since her pre-handicap days and the hood is removed; also unraced on turf since last July and none of her turf form matches this mark. |

20th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 0y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
A nine-time Flat winner over 1m6f-2m, he made a pleasing hurdles debut when third of five finishers (with stablemate Alex The Great 27l back) in a Hereford maiden (2m, good) 15 days ago; steps up in trip and holds place claims. |

5th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 53y Class 4 |

Hurdles debutant who is a nine-time AW winner at 1m6f/2m, most recently in March; one of the better contenders in terms of achievements but an unconvincing turf record leaves him with something to prove. |
11/2 |

6th 7 (7) |
17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 2m 1f 24y Class 5 |
8st 4lb |
Got back on the scoresheet at Lingfield (2m, AW) last month and he ran to a similar level when fourth at Wolverhampton (1m6f) 11 days ago; on lower mark back on turf but he's struggled in his six runs in this sphere including three 2m handicaps; risks attached. |

Four-time winner in Ireland (1m1f/1m2f) but the latest of those wins came over two years ago; didn't run badly at Beverley on her Flat debut for this yard but she was beaten a long way at Catterick three weeks ago; down in class but others look stronger. |
