20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Veteran who showed his best form for a while when winning at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) in February; below his best on turf at Goodwood 19 days ago but cannot be overlooked back on AW. |

1st May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Kickstarted 2026 with all-the-way 6f Wolverhampton win in February; up 2lb but this veteran C&D winner can't be discounted after a break. |

3rd Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |

Four wins in 2025, including over C&D and off this mark; made a pleasing return from 142 days off when fourth over C&D five weeks ago; can take a step forward today. |

2nd 1 (5) |
6th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
Won over 5f early in his career but has raced exclusively over 6f for the past two years, latterly when winning here for Harry Vigors (then claiming 7lb) off 3lb lower in April; goes well fresh but another furlong would have been ideal round here. |
7/2 |
|
1st 2 (3) |
20th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Can lead; five AW wins at 6f and 5f; has settled into a handicapping groove since the latest of them in February and although he wasn't far away under Harry Vigors at Wolverhampton (6f; blinkers replaced cheekpieces) 11 days ago he isn't obviously ahead of his mark. |
9/4 |

3rd 2 (1) |
9th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Gained his fifth win on the AW when landing a class 4 handicap at Chelmsford (6f, AW) in February; below his best in two starts since and now has blinkers on for the first time (replacing cheekpieces). |

9th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Far from straightforward and his best form has come on AW; two good runs and three poor runs since joining Ruth Carr, his latest Newcastle fourth (blinkered first time) falling into the former category; not the most solid option but he is better than this level on his day and it is always worth a second look when Billy Loughnane is booked for the stable (four wins and four seconds from 22 rides). |
10/1 |
|
4th 10 (8) |
13th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
8st 5lb |
5lb lower than when third on his stable debut in February; struggled since and connections now reach for blinkers; not solid but he's more than capable on his day. |
16/1 |
|
10th 2 (10) |
2nd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Blew hot and cold for Jack Channon and signs that it may be the same for new connections, shaping well at Wolverhampton in February but turning in lesser efforts twice since; well handicapped if this is one of his good days and the return of cheekpieces (first time for Ruth Carr) looks a plus. |

6f AW win on his stable debut in November; added to his tally when seeing off five rivals at Chepstow 16 days ago (Class 4; 5f, good to soft); in deeper today. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Long time since he won on turf and isn't as good now but remains consistent; returns from three months off but he can go well fresh; down to a career-low mark but he'd have preferred plenty of rain. |
14/1 |
|
6th 1 (4) |
12th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Ran well in a 0-90 at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) in December and was only beaten around 2l when fifth of seven there nine days ago; now 5lb below his last winning mark but this isn't guaranteed to be run to suit his hold-up style. |
4/1 |
|
5th 1 (3) |
3rd Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Conditions suit and he ran well for third in a stronger race over C&D in late December; not so good at Newcastle two weeks ago but he's still a key player dropped into a Class 4. |

17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Multiple winner at up to 1m who scored for the ninth time when landing a not dissimilar event over C&D three weeks ago; has never won off a mark this high but seems to be getting quicker as she ages and has gone back-to-back before. |
11/2 |

1st 4 (5) |
26th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Multiple wins include one over 7f on the Rowley course and she's also finished close up over 6f there; needs more than she's been showing of late though and this is her first run on the July course. |
16/1 |

14th 5 (2) |
22nd May 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Admirable 6yo who has won eight of her 52 starts (including on soft); however, she goes up in grade this afternoon and would be a shock winner. |

4th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 182y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Dual 6f winner in Ireland; 0-8 for this yard but he wasn't beaten far despite finishing fifth of six at Hamilton (6f, good to soft; acts on quicker) last month; mark continues to come down and that latest effort suggested he may be rediscovering his level; possibilities. |
6/1 |
|
5th 1 (6) |
10th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
A fair 6f scorer in Ireland last spring for Daniel Murphy; made a promising start for current yard with second at Lingfield (6f) in January but he's failed to build on it, a below-par fourth of seven back at Lingfield (6f) last time. |
9/1 |
|
4th 5 (3) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Ex-Irish gelding who's proved inconsistent for this yard having missed six months; handicapper easing off now but he again didn't offer a huge amount back on turf last month. |
12/1 |
