31st May 2026 Good 2m 0f 13y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Industrious and dependable sort at 1m6f-2m2f but turf strike-rate is 1-19; not discredited on latest start (1m5f) but others are preferred. |

Industrious and dependable sort over 1m6f-2m2f but his turf strike-rate is just 1-18 and return to turf last time saw him well held. |

Industrious and dependable sort over 1m6f-2m2f, who's fit from AW, but his turf strike-rate is just 1-17 and that makes him look vulnerable. |

18th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 99y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Returned from a break with two creditable efforts on Tapeta (1m4f/2m) this spring but his form slumped back on turf at Thirsk (1m4f, good) last month; has something to prove again after that and he's still a maiden after 11 starts. |

10th 6 (6) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 4f 8y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Remains winless but he comes here in good nick, second of six in 2m Southwell handicap last month; effective at this shorter trip and needs considering eased 1lb. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 3 (2) |
14th Mar 2026 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Still seeking a first win after nine starts but he boasts some solid handicap form at up to 1m6f; satisfactory reappearance at Wolverhampton two weeks ago (1m4f) and that should have blown away any cobwebs; 2m presents a new challenge but it could unlock further progress. |

3rd 5 (6) |
14th Mar 2026 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Improved for the step up to 2m/switch to AW/blinkers when winning at Lingfield in August 2022 (off this mark); absent since finishing fourth of eight at Kempton one month later; gelded during his 1,284-day absence; hard to recommend on first run for a new stable. |

took keen hold, prominent, ridden over 2f out, lost third and no extra inside final furlong |

1st 8 (5) |
20th Aug 2022 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
held up in midfield, switched right and headway over 6f out, led over 5f out, shaken up and went clear from over 1f out, ridden out (trainer's rep said, regarding the apparent improvement in form, colt benefitted from a step up in trip and the application of first time blinkers) |

8th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 209y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
All five wins at 2m, including three on soft going, latterly at Catterick in October; went back-to-back at Newcastle (AW) at the start of the year and fourth at Ripon (2m, good) on latest outing was close to his best; same mark, so needs to find extra, but he can't be ruled out. |

25th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Out-and-out stayer who won twice at Newcastle (2m, Tapeta) at the start of the year but the handicapper has been winning the argument since; it remains to be seen whether a return to turf makes any difference in that regard. |
6/1 |

6th 13 (1) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Out-and-out stayer who won twice at Newcastle (2m, Tapeta) at the start of the year, but he looks high enough in the weights now and makes a belated Polytrack debut. |

21st May 2026 Soft 2m 0f 45y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Won at Kempton (2m, AW) in March and solid third there (2m, AW) last month; rarely seen on turf nowadays but he was effective on grass early in his career (particularly on slow ground); visor replaces cheekpieces; respected. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 2 (6) |
6th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Not as good now but the handicapper's been quick to ease off and he showed the right attitude to end a losing run over C&D 12 days ago; a 2lb rise seems fair and that won't have hurt his confidence. |

1st 4 |
28th May 2026 Good 2m 2f 140y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Has some useful Flat form and kept on steadily from a long way off the pace to take third on hurdle debut at Wetherby (2m, soft) in November; subsequent Grade 2 defeat is easily overlooked but he has become a very awkward ride, often refusing to settle and/or hanging; comes with risk. |

22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 27y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Quirky and sometimes blows the start; on a reduced mark and retains some ability but he is not the obvious solution to this puzzle. |
20/1 |

10th 15 (6) |
8th May 2026 Good 2m 2f 140y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Quirky and sometimes blows the start; well handicapped judged on lots of 2024 form over 1m4f-2m, but he's seldom sparked in the same way since. |
