30th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Last season ended with two disappointing runs and there was no return to form on his recent reappearance; however, he may have needed that latest outing and this two-time C&D winner is back down to last September's last winning mark; not written off. |

13th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Made all in a first-time visor over C&D last September; ended 2025 quietly and although he is only 1lb higher than for his win, he returns from a break with a point to prove. |

21st Oct 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Three course wins early in the year and he is now 3lb lower than for the latest of them; dropped down the weights on the back of some disappointing turf runs and he should be a more potent force back under these conditions. |

9th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
Four-time AW winner who is 0-29 on turf but he ran well to finish third over C&D (good; 100-30 favourite) three weeks ago; rallied well in that race and he should be in the thick of things again off only 1lb higher. |

3rd 6 (7) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Led close home to score at Wolverhampton just before Christmas but the handicapper has been winning the argument since; a 0-28 turf record is enough reason to look elsewhere. |

5th 9 (11) |
28th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Led close home to score at Wolverhampton just before Christmas and ran creditably over C&D in February; raced wide from an outside draw back at Wolverhampton last time; that run is best ignored and he can bounce back. |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Only win was a 5f handicap at Chelmsford in March 2025 when visored for the first time; would have a chance on his C&D second off 8lb higher last November, but below-par recently; no visor this time. |
6/1 |

8th 8 (2) |
9th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 4f 217y Class 5 |
8st 8lb |
Had a BHA mark 26lb higher than today when starting out for this yard last summer but he's struggled to make much of an impact; did finish second at Newcastle in November (well backed) but that form hasn't worked out at all; recent Redcar reappearance is easy to excuse (went off hard and raced in a group of two, finishing sixth and seventh, on the far side); stable looks to hold stronger claims with Birkenhead. |

7th 4 (1) |
30th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

On a reduced mark and he showed some spark last November; however, he was disappointing in the main in the second half of last year and finished down the field on his last two starts; returns with something to prove. |

9st 9lb |
Had excuses for her Hamilton performance 11 days ago (anticipated the start and hit the gate) having previously made a promising reappearance when third of nine over this C&D (good to firm); 1lb below her last winning mark and very much of interest back in a 0-55. |

Respectable third to Beerwah at Redcar on seasonal debut; back on last winning mark and has form over C&D, notably a 2024 success; difficult to dismiss. |

20th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Hit the line strongly at Wolverhampton (5f; from 6lb lower) over three weeks ago; he's 7-39 on AW, but is yet to win on turf (0-20); handicap mark is still a fair one, particularly with Tom Kiely-Marshall taking off 5lb, and this is the right type of race; don't discount. |

1st 9 (1) |
27th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
C&D winner; two good runs here last month but he was never in the hunt back here 18 days ago; has the ability to feature but he will need luck in running from stall 1 given his racing style. |
9/1 |
|
6th 1 (11) |
9th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Dual C&D winner who has ran well here behind Kento on his last two starts, most recently a close third 16 days ago; holds good claims but his hold-up style means that things need to fall right. |

Stayed on well to win a 5f handicap here in November; handicapper on top since but his latest 5f run here was in a better race and he was keeping on late; one to consider. |

20th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Ran on well when justifying favouritism over C&D (Class 6; from 5lb lower) in November; third to Our Absent Friends next time, before being disadvantaged by a wide draw at Wolverhampton (6f) latest; this is potentially asking a bit too much. |

|
6th 9 (3) |
26th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |

Won twice (6f/7f) in February and he was a good second to a thriving rival over C&D in his bid for a hat-trick; beaten off a lower mark twice since and more minor money perhaps his best hope. |
8/1 |

5th 9 (6) |
17th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

Dual course winner last month who's continued in form since, faring best of those held up when not far behind Bomb Squad over C&D on Friday; one of the likelier winners. |

11th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Three-time C&D winner, the latest of those coming in first-time blinkers off a 7lb lower mark in January; has been running well since, including when runner-up here 15 days ago, and there's no reason to think she won't go well again. |

2nd 1 (1) |
24th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Narrow C&D winner in first-time blinkers (from 7lb lower) in January; has held her form well since, a close fourth (Shatin Venture second, La Rochette fifth) to Digital latest; likely to give another solid account with Paul Mulrennan aboard. |
13/2 |

4th 7 (5) |
15th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Got the better of Digital over C&D last month (blinkered first time) and ran another solid race when a close second at Southwell one week later; a 2lb rise shouldn't prevent another prominent showing. |

Ex-Irish mare who's won three this year, proving at Ayr last time that she can do it on turf as well as Tapeta; upped another 5lb, though, and this is the first time she's run in higher than 0-65 company; not ruled out but she'll find this opposition tougher. |

9st 5lb |
Winless in 2025 but he is 3-6 over C&D and has settled matters quite emphatically on his last two starts; back up 3lb but weighted to have another race in him and it could well be this one. |

Ended a lengthy losing run when beating Colors Of Freedom in a classified event over C&D two weeks ago (reported to have bled from nose); has 8lb rise to deal with back in a handicap but he remains well treated on old form and all three wins have been on AW; respected. |

27th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Has run some good races on Tapeta this year and only just failed at Southwell (5f) in April; however, he wasn't in much form on turf in 2025, including in this race, and looks unlikely to break his turf duck. |

15th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |

Two of his three wins have been over C&D and he was second of eight here in a classified event in February; below his best in two starts since but he may be capable of bouncing back. |

8th 5 (2) |
12th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

C&D winner who looked unlucky not to finish closer when having Stroxx and A Lady Forever behind here last weekend; not as good now and has a bit to find on these terms but does at least arrive in form. |
