1st 4 (5) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Not the easiest and plenty of short-priced defeats to his name but he won at Wolverhampton (8.6f) last month and was a creditable third in another classified event at Lingfield (1m2f) three weeks ago; remains unexposed on turf and he needs a close look back in this sphere. |

3rd 1 (6) |
25th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Not the easiest and plenty of short-priced defeats to his name but justified good support when under Billy Loughnane for the first time at Wolverhampton (4-7 for the yard) last Monday; has only run once on Polytrack but will rightly be popular under a penalty. |

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

Hasn't stood much racing in recent times and was beaten 20l when last at Dundalk when last seen; hard to fancy. |

12th 8 (6) |
10th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 0y |
9st 5lb |
Won twice at this venue for Joseph O'Brien early in his career (2019 and 2020); absent throughout 2023 and 2024; did well on his reappearance over an extended 1m at Wolverhampton last month, ran prominently all the way and beat all bar the favourite; strong contender if replicating that form. |
4/1 |

2nd 12 (8) |
16th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
A fair 1m/1m2f winner at his best but not nearly so good when last seen out in 2023; this Irish veteran is refitted with a tongue-tie on his comeback run. |

13th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Went close at Wolverhampton (8.6f) and Chepstow (1m) before getting off the mark (13th attempt) in a classified event at Wolverhampton last Tuesday; pulled 5l clear with his main market rival in that race and he hit a personal best with that brave success; key player. |
13/8 |

1st 4 (3) |
7th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
0-12 but he hit the frame twice in similar races over C&D in March; better form when beaten a neck into second at Chepstow (1m, soft) last month; set to go well once again. |

2nd 6 (7) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
11-race maiden but has gone close in classified events at Wolverhampton (8.5, AW) on his last two starts; needs to convert that form to handicaps on turf. |

18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Three wins (1m) in 2024 but he's been well held in last ten starts including when fourth behind Desiderata at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW) last month; that wasn't bad but he needs to raise his game back in a handicap. |
20/1 |
|
4th 11 (7) |
16th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
A three-time 1m scorer in 2024 but only poor form of late and he was soon ridden when fourth of six in 7f Chelmsford handicap in January; he needs to take a step forward. |
16/1 |
|
4th 6 (1) |
15th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Won three times over 1m in 2024, including over C&D; third at Southwell (1m, AW) last April but he's not been in the same form in four starts since; drops back to 7f and others are preferred. |

26th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Career best when making all in Newcastle classified (1m) last month; hasn't matched that in three subsequent starts but he lost a shoe when back in a classified last time; probable contender with Billy Loughnane taking over. |
7/1 |
|
5th 10 (3) |
16th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |

Off the mark in classified event at Newcastle (1m) in February and has continued in good form, fourth in 1m handicap there ten days ago; big shout at these weights. |
5/1 |
|
4th 4 (6) |
6th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |

Opened his account in classified event over C&D in February and not discredited back in handicap company when fourth of nine at Lingfield (1m) 13 days ago; possibilities despite 3lb weights rise. |

6th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
All three AW wins have been over C&D, the latest in a classified event in March; has been below that form since and the switch from a hood to first-time cheekpieces needs to have a positive impact. |
16/1 |

9th 8 (11) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
C&D winner last June (soft) off a 4lb higher mark; wants a good test over this trip but is capable of bouncing back, having been given an 11-week break since a couple of lesser efforts in Tapeta 0-50s. |
8/1 |
|
10th 5 (5) |
30th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Three C&D wins, the latest in a classified event this month in a refitted hood; failed to get to grips with the leaders here six days later but she's had a longer break this time; can be very competitive if race pans out. |

Regressed sharply last year and has been tried over various trips of late; one of his better efforts over 1m here last Tuesday but is worse off back out of handicap company and no certainty to repeat the dose. |

19th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 135y Class 6 |

13-race maiden (Flat/hurdles) who has yet to be placed, but it was a respectable run when fourth of nine at Kempton (1m, AW) 55 days ago; struggled in her two starts on Flat turf. |

9th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

Came from an unpromising position to win a 7f handicap at Doncaster (good to soft) in May; has not matched it in two runs since and this isn't sure to set up for him. |

10th 17 (9) |
14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 213y Class 6 |

7th 13 (2) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Edged out a next-time-out scorer (pair 4l clear) when coming from well off the pace to get up late over C&D (good to soft) three weeks ago; he's been an infrequent winner over the years but he retains handicapping scope after a 5lb rise. |

Fair third of nine in a 0-55 handicap at Southwell (7f, Tapeta) on his penultimate start, but didn't back that up in a similar race to this there 13 days later and now 0-14; his stamina isn't assured either. |
