1st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Two AW wins over this trip but he wasn't at his best when last seen in March; his three turf starts are all excusable to some degree and he could prove as effective on grass in time. |

21st Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
C&D winner last summer; doubled his tally when landing a classified event at Chelmsford in January; fair run over C&D on his penultimate start but he was 11l behind Tuscan Point over C&D ten days ago. |

9st 6lb |
A visor for the first time saw him break his duck in a 6f classified event at Chelmsford in January; solid fourth over C&D two weeks ago; more needed to take this. |

28th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Last run was too bad to be true and had made a positive start for this yard, and he's closely matched with Dr Ali; possibilities. |
10/1 |
|
12th 15 (17) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
On a long losing sequence but he has started life well for John Mackie on last two outings, fourth of 12 in 5f Catterick handicap ten days ago; very much one to consider off the same mark with cheekpieces refitted. |
10/1 |
|
4th 10 (1) |
8th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Finished second in this race in 2023 (soft) and 2024 (heavy); good second at Wolverhampton on his stable debut (6f) two weeks ago; well drawn back on turf but his 18 turf runs have seen him steer clear of anything faster than good to soft. |

7th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Well short of his best on turf on his last two starts but perhaps better judged on this winter's AW efforts, which included a 6f win at Newcastle as well as several placed runs; not discounted at this level. |
7/1 |
|
12th 15 (12) |
1st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
6f AW win in November (visored first time) and placed on a few occasions subsequently; neither start since returning from a four-month break has been near that level though. |
33/1 |
|
7th 7 (6) |
15th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 110y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Does most of his racing on the AW; four places from six runs this year; effective at 5f/6f but bit to prove on his turf form. |

12th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
8st 6lb |
Veteran who is on a lengthy losing run; can lead but didn't at Windsor last time and was never involved; if on his game he wouldn't be without hope. |
8/1 |
|
6th 8 (2) |
7th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Veteran who is on a losing run of 22; knocking on the door on AW when last seen and he won't mind getting back on the grass; has made the running but it is not a prerequisite; could go well. |
13/2 |
|
4th 10 (3) |
12th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Veteran with nine wins on his record, all over sprint trips; stays this far though and he holds each-way claims once more. |

9th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
2-35 with both wins coming on the AW; return to this trip shouldn't be a problem, but others are preferred for win purposes; cheekpieces return. |
10/1 |
|
6th 13 (4) |
19th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Dual AW winner (6f/7f) but his last success was 17 months ago and he's been up and down in five runs this year; ran too freely at Lingfield last time but that was a disappointing run as favourite and he needs to bounce back again after that. |

24th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Has done well since dropped to 0-50 classified company (2161), her latest win coming over C&D 19 days ago; needs to show she can mix it back in a handicap, but a player if she can. |
6/1 |

1st 6 (11) |
5th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Broke her duck at the 20th attempt when keeping on to score in a similar event at Chelmsford (6f, Polytrack) last month; blew any chance of following up back there when slowly away latest and not written off if she avoids a repeat. |

3rd 6 (9) |
18th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Seven-time AW winner who was a creditable third in classified event at Wolverhampton (5f) two weeks ago; this step back up in trip is no problem but he's 0-17 on turf and was tailed off at Doncaster on his penultimate run. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 6 (8) |
1st Jun 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Dual course winner early in the year for 5lb claimer Ryan Kavanagh, and will be happier back on the AW and down from 7f; would have been better off with all bar one were this a handicap, however. |
16/1 |
|
16th 14 (16) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Won two classified events at Wolverhampton (5f/6f) this year but he's not made an impact in last three runs; this step back up to 7f is no problem but he needs to find more to get back on the scoresheet. |
25/1 |
