7th 3 (8) |
15th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Two novice wins on turf and he made it 3-6 when scoring at Lingfield (1m2f, AW) in February on his second handicap start; solid fourth to The Glen Rovers at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) last month and, while improvement is necessary today, this is just his ninth run and he may have more left in the tank. |

4th 5 (3) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Very lightly raced 4yo who made it 2-3 in this hood when winning readily at Lingfield (1m2f, Polytrack) in February; kept on from the rear for close sixth of 12 in the Lincoln Trial at Wolverhampton (8.6f, Tapeta) last month and he's firmly in calculations with the return to 1m2f a major plus. |
9/4 |
|
6th 4 (12) |
7th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Lightly-raced 4yo who took his form to a new level when readily seeing off ten rivals at Lingfield last week (1m2f); a 6lb rise shouldn't be beyond him and he can't be discounted stepping back in distance. |

9st 2lb |
Versatile and consistent handicapper who landed the 2025 Cesarewitch (2m2f) in most recent turf attempt and has been placed in all AW starts (1m2f-2m) this year; however, faces a very difficult task at the weights upped in class. |

3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Record in AW handicaps for Denis Quinn since last June reads 5112151113, including two wins over C&D; ran right up to his best when third of 11 in an even stronger contest here five weeks ago; major player on first start for John Ryan (same owner) while Jack Dace is 1-1 on him. |

3rd 7 (1) |
27th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Record in AW handicaps since last June reads 511215111; finished strongly from the rear to collar Qitaal (who finished third) near the line and shade a blanket finish over C&D last time; has to enter calculations again off only 2lb higher. |
5/1 |
|
1st 3 (10) |
10th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Record in AW handicaps since last June reads 51121511 including an emphatic win over C&D; off since winning by a nose at Kempton (1m3f, Polytrack) in December and now 8lb higher, but still hard to leave him out of calculations. |

2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Failed to build on a decent fourth at Lingfield (1m2f) in February when behind Blue Rc at Newcastle (1m) on Good Friday but the fact he made all in this race off 8lb lower last year means a revival can't be discounted, particularly as he's well drawn to attack again; tongue-tied first time. |
13/2 |
|
8th 9 (5) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Quiet in Dubai in January but he returned to Britain with a good fourth at Lingfield (1m2f) five weeks ago; now 6lb lower than when winning the Thirsk Hunt Cup last May and he has the ability to feature. |
25/1 |
|
4th 4 (5) |
27th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Often front runs; below par in three outings at Meydan last month (including dirt) but well treated if a return to Britain sparks a revival having landed last year's Thirsk Hunt Cup off 6lb higher; Tapeta winner at the start of his career. |

13th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
C&D winner in 2023; no joy anywhere last season (mostly at this track) but the closest he came was a neck defeat here (1m2f; 4lb higher today) on final start; not far away on AW last three starts this year and the same may be possible on today's return to turf. |
16/1 |
|
4th 6 (7) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Losing run now up to 14, but his last couple of efforts have been encouraging as when second of six in a slightly stronger contest at Chelmsford (1m2f, Polytrack) last month; still on his last winning mark and holds each-way claims. |
10/1 |
|
2nd 4 (5) |
12th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Drew a blank in 2025 but he ended that campaign with a good second in a big-field 10.2f handicap at York; two respectable AW runs this year but he will need to raise his game to take this. |

13th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Second at this meeting in 2024 but only eighth in this race last year; had an excellent autumn on AW and won again in January, but he's struggled to make an impact in recent AW starts and his record is a lot stronger at up to 1m3f than at about 1m4f. |
33/1 |
|
14th 3 (1) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
He's never won off a mark this high and he needs to produce more than he's managed at Kempton and Lingfield on his last three starts; however, before those he won a 13-runner handicap over C&D with something to spare and the return to Newcastle could be in his favour; not ruled out each-way. |

4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 35y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Inconsistent and without a win since September 2024; however, he was denied a clear run when second of six at Leicester (1m2f, good to firm) recently and can be in the shake-up if backing that up; versatile ground-wise. |
13/2 |
|
2nd 5 (2) |
25th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Three turf wins at up to about 1m2f (good to soft and soft), most recent in 2024; promising reappearance on AW in February but he hasn't done as well since and there was little in the locker at Hamilton recently. |
9/2 |
|
4th 4 (3) |
15th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 35y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
It's now 15 starts since his last victory and he was tried in cheekpieces when a below-par seventh in 1m2f handicap at Nottingham last month; needs to take a big step forward. |

14th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
Two 1m wins on turf last season and added another on AW at Lingfield (1m2f) in December; however, he needs to produce a bigger performance than he's managed across his four outings this year. |
40/1 |
|
5th 2 (5) |
28th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 17y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Won at Lingfield (AW) in December on first crack at 1m2f and raced wide when sixth of 14 at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) last month; this two-time turf winner remains unexposed at today's trip and is not ruled out. |
7/1 |
|
6th 8 (12) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Won at Lingfield (Polytrack) in December on first crack at 1m2f; another big run when third of five in Listed race there (1m2f) next time; bounced back from lesser run when staying on for seventh of 12 at Wolverhampton (8.6f, Tapeta) recently and he could be in the mix now back up in trip. |

20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
2-17 on turf for Tim Easterby; well held switched to AW on first three runs for current yard but he raised his game with a solid third over C&D two weeks ago; ties in with Influential on that form and has claims if he can build on that. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 1 (3) |
4th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
2-17 on turf for Tim Easterby, but unplaced in three starts on Polytrack (1m/1m2f) since joining this yard; down again in grade, but a longer trip back on grass may be what he needs. |
16/1 |

4th 3 (5) |
12th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

23rd May 2026 Good 1m 4f 5y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Won twice last year, notably a 1m6f handicap at Ascot in July off a 1lb lower mark; well held in five starts since December but this trip more suitable than those he has been tackling and the return of the tongue tie could help; betting should be revealing. |
12/1 |
|
10th 5 (4) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Two wins last year, but hasn't beaten many in four starts over 1m-2m on the AW since returning from over five months off in December; slipping back down the weights, but probably best watched for now; stable also runs Vaguely Royal. |
20/1 |

7th 9 (8) |
28th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Effective here; finished strongly when upped to 1m6f for his win at Ascot last July; absent 167 days afterwards and beat a total of one rival in his three races this winter but they were over just 1m-1m2f, when an outsider, and he should be vastly more interesting on this first crack at 2m. |

2nd May 2026 Good 1m 1f 197y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
A very useful 1m2f/1m4f winner at his best but lightly raced in recent seasons and came in last of 11 in 1m2f AW Lingfield handicap in February; needs to take a big step forward after a break. |
25/1 |
|
11th 2 (7) |
27th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
2024 November Handicap winner who reappeared with an easy win over 1m2f at Epsom last September; respectable sixth of 22 when bidding to defend his November Handicap crown on sole subsequent start last year; well-beaten fifth on the snow at St Moritz on return last weekend; entitled to come on for that outing but this test might be sharp enough for him. |
10/1 |
|
1st 1 (1) |
28th Sep 2025 Good 1m 2f 17y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Progressive and useful sort but lacks recent match practice, having been absent since winning last year's November Handicap (1m4f, soft), and isn't crying out for this drop back to a sharp 1m2f. |
