16th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Made it an amazing seven wins for the year, all from the front, over C&D on Friday; subsequent 1lb rise and 4lb penalty sees him still just below his highest successful mark and there's every chance he can complete a two-month eight-timer. |

13th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
He was recording his 11th course win when making all in a Class 5 over C&D ten days ago, completing a six-timer in the process; 1lb well in under his penalty, well drawn and dropping in grade, so a seven-timer is beckoning. |

On a six-timer; all out to defy a double penalty over C&D 15 days ago and will need more off 5lb higher, especially as they claimed 5lb last time; still respected given the form he's in. |

4th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Tough filly who took time to find her form again but won two in a row in early spring, over C&D (overcame a wide draw) and at Chelmsford (5f), and subsequent defeats came over 6f then very slowly away here in April; form claims. |

30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |

Dual 5f Polytrack winner (once here) this year; not discredited in higher-grade company over 6f here last month and probably still on a workable mark for this drop back to her optimum trip; must be considered. |

21st May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Two wins at 7f on AW and he went close on that surface at Wolverhampton (7f) in March; below that form on last two starts and has something to prove back at 6f on this forecast easy turf; blinkers go on. |

6th 7 (4) |
27th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Regressive gelding who's often been inclined to pull hard since returning from a year off; winless since his 3yo days and there are safer options. |
6/1 |
|
7th 9 (8) |
10th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Overall record of 2-30 but this 7yo has been in good form recently and he was only just caught over C&D last time; only 1lb higher and she should make another bold bid. |

29th May 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Often leads but can be slowly away; took a steep rise in the weights for two 5f wins in early spring but she absorbed it and added another win, from the fast-finishing Ancient State, on Lingfield AW in April; another solid effort back on turf there 11 days ago; strong showing likely back at 5f on AW. |
6/1 |

3rd 4 (9) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Front-runner who's had plenty of moments at the stalls; got it right when registering her third AW win of the year last time, but returns to turf on a career-high mark upped 4lb and the extra furlong is a concern. |
4/1 |
|
1st 2 (3) |
28th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 5 |

Two 5f wins this year, making all at Wolverhampton on the second occasion off a 9lb lower mark; her ability to overcome this mark isn't in question but the start continues to be an issue and others look safer. |

Chelmsford specialist who ran another sound race there on final start in March; only 1-17 on turf but has course form and this mark gives him a chance. |

7th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

21st May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Fine on Tapeta but all his wins have come on Polytrack, including twice last spring at Chelmsford; still dangerous when dipping into this company but he's unpredictable now and 7f round here is enough of a test. |
7/1 |

11th 12 (2) |
8th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Capable on his day and 1lb below his last winning mark, but now at the veteran stage and recent form has an uneven look to it; others more compelling. |
40/1 |

6th 7 (8) |
10th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Two C&D wins; has been racing over 7f, a rival forcing a dead-heat off this mark at Chelmsford last May, but he had won over 6f there last March; finished a fair runner-up when making the running again here last month but likely more needed for the win. |

Sole AW win was a 6f novice two years ago; in better form in December than he is now but Stevie Donohoe is 1-1 on him (on turf last summer) so there might be a turnaround. |

Veteran who is 9-46 on the AW and 0-21 on grass, but he has become dangerously well handicapped on the pick of his turf form last year; should find this race is run to suit. |

9th 3 (9) |
9th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |

Nine-time AW winner, with the latest success coming at Lingfield (5f, AW) last February; ran well when a close third of nine there 20 days ago and the return of a visor is a positive (last three wins have came in a visor). |

3rd 8 (5) |
20th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |

9st 9lb |
0-17 record includes a near miss over 7f last summer and two over 6f early this year; Windsor 6f fourth three weeks ago confirms her place claims but it's not surprising that connections now reach for cheekpieces. |

4th 9 (2) |
7th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
0-16 but she has had some near misses along the way, notably at Wolverhampton in February (6f) when beaten a nose by a thriving rival; not so good back on turf at Leicester 12 days ago; may have to wait longer to shed her maiden tag. |
12/1 |
|
7th 1 (7) |
25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Not yet off the mark but she's had two close calls on the AW this year, notably when only just failing to get up at Wolverhampton (6f) in February, against one on the fifth leg of a seven-timer; acts on turf, too, and may well figure back from short break. |

Three 5f wins on turf include his last start on grass in good-ground Haydock handicap (first-time blinkers; has won on heavy) in October; didn't quite match that in seven AW starts subsequently but now 2lb below that winning mark; placed just once from five starts at 6f and no headgear today, however. |

21st Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Triple turf winner but he's 0-7 on AW and has finished down the field at Wolverhampton (5f) and Lingfield (6f) in last two runs; now back on last winning mark but he needs new headgear to make a difference. |

11th 5 (5) |
10th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |

All three wins over 5f on turf but recent AW form, despite being a beaten favourite on last three starts, puts him in the picture; however, he rarely tackles 6f and when he has, his form has been inconclusive. |

All wins at 6f up to two years ago but last five successes at 5f, most recently off much the same mark at Wolverhampton before Christmas; has beaten a total of two rivals in his last three starts, however, so more needs to be done back at 6f; cheekpieces refitted in place of a visor. |
