9th 5 (7) |
2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Seemed to have turned a corner when cosily accounting for Alpine Sierra (three wins since) over 1m2f here (7-1) in March; bombed out at Nottingham (1m2f) next time and trapped wide at Wolverhampton (9.5f) latest; noted with Jack Garritty (1-2) back aboard. |

9th 8 (7) |
11th May 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Supported when winning a Newcastle 0-50 on his comeback in March; since finished a remote last on turf but pulled hard in better company and he ought to fare better back on Tapeta. |
10/1 |

14th 15 (7) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |
8st 7lb |
Improved effort back from five months off when opening his account in a 1m2f Newcastle classified event 37 days ago, his first attempt at this trip; did quite well to get up late on having had to wait for a run and could be on a good mark back in a handicap. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 39y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Won at Hamilton (1m3f, good) on May 3 and again had plenty in hand when following up at Musselburgh (1m4f, good) last week, when switched to front-running tactics; this thriving 8yo has strong claims under 4lb penalty. |
6/5 |
|
1st 5 (4) |
21st May 2026 Good 1m 4f 104y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
2.25l behind Spirit Catcher here last month (1m1f, good) and he is 2lb worse off with that rival today; did win well at Hamilton (1m3f, good) 18 days ago, however, and likely to be in the thick of it again. |
9/4 |
|
1st 8 (4) |
3rd May 2026 Good 1m 3f 15y Class 5 |
8st 6lb |
Runner-up three consecutive times on Tapeta in March (1m-1m2f) and returned to turf with pretty good third at Musselburgh (1m1f, good) on Wednesday; should be fine over this longer trip; probably won't be far away. |

26th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Finally got off the mark at Lingfield (1m2f, good) and has continued in good form in the main since, narrowly winning over this C&D (good to firm) last time; just 1lb higher today and he's high on the list. |
11/2 |
|
1st 9 (8) |
9th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Finally got off the mark in 1m2f classified event at Lingfield in January; has continued in good form and challenged wide when sixth in another classified event there in March; in the mix again. |
9/2 |
|
6th 11 (10) |
25th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Best of those to race on the pace at Newcastle two weeks ago; excuses for his only below-par effort this year (C&D) and goes on the shortlist under Rossa Ryan. |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Gained a first win over C&D in September; got back on track despite not enjoying the smoothest of passages when third of 12 in 1m2f handicap at Redcar eight days ago so she must enter calculations. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 8 (13) |
25th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
0-12 on turf, although solid run when third at Beverley last June (1m2f, good to firm); plenty to prove after finishing 35l fifth of six at Pontefract last time (1m2f, good). |
12/1 |
|
5th 6 (6) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 5 |
8st 4lb |
One win from 17 attempts came over 1m2f (AW; acts on sound turf) in September; reappearance fourth in AW classified wasn't a bad effort in March and she likely didn't stay 1m4f last time; still has work to do from out of the handicap back on grass. |

17th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Last of four wins on turf came in August 2021 but he's been in good order on AW recently, winning at Southwell (1m3f) in March; not sure that the drop back in trip will suit on this return to turf. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 8 (3) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Kept on well to score over C&D (16-1; from 3lb lower) five weeks ago; that came as a bit of a surprise, only his second win since August 2021, but the form was given a boost with the third (Moon Over The Sea) winning at Bath on Monday; needs considering. |
9/2 |
|
1st 9 (3) |
28th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Bagged a classified contest last August, ending a long losing spell, and has proved consistent at the same level this year; however, this 9yo hasn't won a handicap since 2021. |

26th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Last eight starts in classifieds and he didn't always get the breaks when third over C&D 12 days ago; that was one of his better recent efforts and he's firmly in calculations. |
13/2 |
|
3rd 6 (5) |
14th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Regressive 8yo; running respectably at this level in 2026 but 2l behind Woodrafff at Newcastle last week; never threatened over 1m2f on Thursday; easy enough to look elsewhere. |
8/1 |
|
6th 10 (4) |
12th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Spent most of a long career racing at shy of 1m and didn't look to see it out in one try over this far (C&D); not as good now and can miss the break and/or pull hard, so comes with risks attached. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 216y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Landed her second win on turf when picking up 1m2f course classified in August; similar trip and grade when winning at Wolverhampton (AW) in March but two lesser efforts followed; drops back in distance. |
9/1 |
|
6th 7 (6) |
7th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Kept on well to win a 9.4f 0-50 classified race at Wolverhampton in March (for Rossa Ryan); not so good when seventh behind Haveagobeau at Lingfield (1m2f) six weeks ago; others are stronger for win purposes. |
8/1 |

7th 2 (4) |
25th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Inconsistent mare who responded well to second-time cheekpieces when winning for Rossa Ryan (rides stablemate Myna) on Tapeta early last week (has a penalty for that); yet to finish anywhere near after seven runs on Polytrack. |

9st 9lb |
Yet to register a victory but he comes here on the back of a solid sixth of 11 in 1m1f handicap at Ayr four weeks ago; more is needed at these weights though if he is to get off the mark. |

6th 12 (4) |

Longstanding maiden; had a wind op in November and ran one decent race on the AW in the winter (1.25l fourth of nine over 9.5f at Wolverhampton in February); below par next time; lacks consistency. |

8st 10lb |
Sole win from 38 starts came over 7f at Lingfield in 2022 but she has posted some good efforts this year, including when runner-up at Wolverhampton (1m6f, AW) last month; however, she was disappointing at Southwell (2m, AW) 29 days ago and needs to bounce back returned to this shorter trip. |
8/1 |
|
11th 10 (7) |
28th Apr 2026 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 6 |

Has run some good races on turf/Tapeta this year, but a record of 1-37 sounds a note of caution and she is unraced beyond 1m6f. |

9st 0lb |
Won at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) last August and runner-up at Musselburgh (1m4f, good to soft) next time; however, he's been well below that level so far this season and a major turnaround is necessary. |
16/1 |

8th 11 (7) |
11th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 13y Class 6 |

29th Apr 2026 Good 1m 4f 104y Class 6 |

Came good off a similar mark at Newcastle (1m2f) last summer but well held in two outings there this year; his hopes are pinned on a change of headgear (first-time cheekpieces for blinkers) sparking a revival. |

6th 10 (10) |
11th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 13y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Just one win from his 25 starts but he was a good third over C&D last month and didn't see out 1m6f when fifth to Free Pic here last time; each-way claims back down in trip. |
14/1 |

5th 5 (1) |
22nd Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 192y Class 6 |
8st 5lb |
In the hands of John Butler when sporting first-time blinkers to score at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) in February; that's her only success but a keeping-on third here (1m4f, good) was a respectable effort a fortnight ago and this new trip is probably worth a go. |

Huge prices and well beaten in five runs to date (6f-1m2f); takes a significant step up in trip on her handicap debut in first-time blinkers; one to keep an eye on. |
