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. |
20/1 |
|
8th 7 (7) |
11th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
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. |
10/1 |

4th 6 (3) |
24th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Capable at the right level, narrowly winning a C&D handicap in August (from dead-heater Top Biller) and ran his best race since when a clearcut winner of a 6f classified at Chelmsford in January when first-time visored; didn't get going soon enough back here since but can't rule out. |

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. |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Won over 6f here in November; plenty of sound placed efforts since (beaten a head over C&D in January) and could go well if fit after a break. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 1 (1) |
29th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won a 6f handicap at Newcastle when visored for the first time on his second start for this yard; beaten around 2l when fifth of eight there over 5f five days ago, and he had been placed over that trip on his previous three starts, including at this track; contender back up in trip. |
4/1 |
|
5th 2 (3) |
24th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Back to form for his new yard, winning a 6f handicap here in November (visored first time) and placed over 5f on his last three starts; no obvious reason why he wouldn't go well once again. |

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. |

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. |
10/1 |
|
8th 10 (4) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Has modest 2-33 strike-rate but one of the wins was gained over C&D and he returns here after two fairly good fourths, the latter in first-time visor at Southwell (5f) a fortnight ago; more appealing than most. |

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. |

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 |
|
4th 9 (1) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Two wins this year, both in Wolverhampton classified races (5f/6f); probably needs to find something extra in this handicap, though, and below form on last two starts (both 5f). |
