1st 1 (8) |
20th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won three in a row at Southwell (1m, AW) earlier this year and solid second there (1m) a fortnight ago; he won here in 2024 and holds strong claims if transferring his fine recent form back to turf. |

2nd 4 (11) |
7th May 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Has been in good form since the turn of the year and completed a C&D hat-trick when pulling clear to record a comfortable success 40 days ago; now steps back up in grade off this 9lb higher mark but he's still fairly treated on his old form. |

4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Belatedly opened account with clear win at Bath (1m, good) in April, her 18th start, and rebounded from lesser effort when second at Nottingham (8.3f, good to soft) last month; has a tendency to race too freely, so this drop back in trip could be a good move; others have more potential, though. |
8/1 |

2nd 4 (8) |
19th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Heavy defeat last time took her AW record to 0-15; opened her account with comfortable win at Bath (1m) earlier in April and remains unexposed on turf; not ruled out. |
20/1 |
|
11th 5 (11) |
27th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
11st 2lb |
Placed on four of her last five AW starts before getting off the mark at the 18th attempt back on turf at Bath (1m, good) 22 days ago; back up 7lb but she should remain competitive without looking an obvious one to follow up. |

4th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Often slowly away; beaten 6l when third of ten in a handicap over this C&D last month but she never featured in a classified event at Wolverhampton (9.5f, AW) nine days ago; blinkers replace cheekpieces. |
7/1 |
|
7th 1 (6) |
23rd Feb 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Dual course winner (8.6f), but she's not been at her best this winter and was beaten 6l when third in a Southwell handicap last time; has something to prove and she meets most of today's rivals on unfavourable terms. |

1st Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Well held at a short price round Bath last time but paid for going with a strong pace; had hit traffic here previously and this mark should be within range for a yard also responsible for Terries Royale. |
10/1 |
|
5th 3 (9) |
29th Apr 2026 Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Doubled her tally on turf when winning over C&D this month and she was unfortunate not to finish closer at Wolverhampton (9.5f, AW) having been denied a clear passage 12 days ago; returns here with claims. |

15th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |

1m turf win for Craig Lidster as a 2yo; unfancied and beaten 9.25l+ in two runs this winter; only of interest if stronger in the betting. |
8/1 |
|
5th 1 (10) |
5th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
1m turf winner (good), when 1lb lower and with Craig Lidster; 50-1 when returning from a lengthy layoff over C&D recently and beaten over 15l; visor goes on; plenty to prove at present. |
50/1 |

10th 6 (5) |
23rd Jan 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Won a 1m Redcar nursery for Craig Lidster in September 2024 off a 3lb lower mark; gelded during his 477-day absence; not fully exposed and he is worth a market check on his belated return. |

27th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |

Creditable second in three of her four runs since upped to 1m; beaten only a neck at Chelmsford latest; threatening to record a second win. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 3 (2) |
12th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
6f turf winner but she was runner-up at Southwell (1m, AW) on two occasions last month; however, she was disappointing there a week ago (reported to have ran flat) and needs to bounce back. |
9/2 |

6th 5 (6) |
5th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |

6f turf winner; runner-up over C&D on her last two starts; no change to her mark and should be thereabouts again. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Off the mark at the 20th attempt when battling well to justify support at Musselburgh (7f, good) two weeks ago; up 4lb but he beat a clear second last time and his confidence could be boosted after that success; big player again with cheekpieces added. |
5/1 |

1st 8 (11) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Out the back on first four outings for Lawrence Mullaney but big step back in the right direction when second in 7f Southwell classified event seven weeks ago, pulling clear with one who has won and finished a close second in two handicap starts since; his last 11 outings have been on AW but was runner-up over C&D (good) in August 2024; bold show likely if a wide stall isn't too much of an inconvenience. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 12 (7) |
10th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
A case can be made on 2025 best, including a C&D second last March, but he has finished out the back in four runs for new trainer this winter. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Just one win from 43 starts but he's reached the frame on AW at Southwell (1m/7f) in his last two runs; usually comes from off the pace and has claims if he transfers his recent form back to turf. |
10/1 |
|
4th 9 (9) |
7th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
One win from 42 starts but he's posted some good placed efforts this year, including when third of ten here over 1m eight days ago; drops back in trip with place claims but he may prove vulnerable from a win perspective. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 8 (8) |
29th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
1-41; back-to-back good runs under Sean Kirrane in March but gave himself no chance of troubling the judge last week by failing to settle; usual tongue-tie returns. |

4th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Two soft-ground wins (7.4f/1m) in 2024, but he's drawn a blank since and has struggled on the Flat and over hurdles in his last four starts; has plenty to prove and yard also runs Evelyn's Phoenix. |
16/1 |

8th 7 (4) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Two soft-ground wins (7.4f/1m) in 2024 but he's drawn a blank since and has been well held on the Flat and over hurdles in his last three starts; bit to prove and he needs a big turnaround back in this sphere; cheekpieces reapplied. |
16/1 |
|
4th 8 |
4th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 156y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Two low-grade Flat wins in 2024 (7.5f-1m); well beaten on recent Market Rasen hurdles debut (2m, juvenile maiden; 150-1); connections waste no time by dropping him into a claimer; difficult to identify a positive angle. |

5th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
0-15; went close to breaking her duck at Newcastle (6f, Tapeta) in November, when 4lb higher; inconsistent and arrives with a little bit to prove after finishing last back at Newcastle (7f) latest. |
16/1 |
|
6th 6 (5) |
4th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Runner-up in three of her nine starts, but weakened quickly when a distant last of nine to Perfidia, Groundhog, and Keats House at Ripon (1m, good) latest; it's tough to envisage her getting the better of those rivals. |
25/1 |
