19th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 135y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Six wins from 37 starts, the most recent success coming at Southwell (1m, AW) in March; ran respectably here on the AW 19 days ago, taking his form figures since the visor was applied to 314, but he's 0-7 on turf. |

4th 12 (7) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Aided by new visor on his two starts this year, latterly when exploiting a much reduced mark at Southwell (1m) last month; that form has been well advertised by the runner-up since and this C&D also suits; shortlisted. |
5/1 |

1st 5 (2) |
21st Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |

Well handicapped on last winter's AW form and there were more encouraging signs from him when third at Chelmsford four weeks ago (visored first time); got loose before the start and withdrawn at Newcastle two weeks ago; chance if building on the latest run. |

25th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Sole win from 21 starts came at Bath (1m, good) in April; bounced back from a poor effort when runner-up over this C&D last month and shaped as if still in good form at Wetherby (7f, good to firm) three weeks ago, leaving the impression the return to 1m would suit; chance. |

5th 12 (5) |
4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Belatedly opened account with clear win at Bath (1m, good) in April, her 18th start, and rebounded from lesser effort when second at Nottingham (8.3f, good to soft) last month; has a tendency to race too freely, so this drop back in trip could be a good move; others have more potential, though. |

11th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
First 27 starts came on the AW (three wins) and was making his turf debut when third of 13 at Doncaster (7f, good to soft) last month (fourth has won twice since); 5lb below last winning mark and much respected for stable that won this in 2024. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
All 27 runs have been on AW; back-to-back wins at Southwell (1m) last October but he's been up and down since and was beaten 12l at Southwell two weeks ago; now makes his belated turf debut and comes with risks attached. |
16/1 |

7th 3 (2) |
29th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |

Back-to-back C&D wins last October (off 3lb lower than today, then 3lb higher than today); should appreciate returning to 1m having produced a lesser effort over 7f here last time; can be involved. |

April's C&D handicap win reads well; not in the same form since but returning to classified company, where she's 1-2, should help. |

15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |

Couple of valid excuses since a Bath win in the spring; there was a poor effort on Tapeta last time but she's capable of popping up back on turf. |

1st Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |

Well held at a short price round Bath last time but paid for going with a strong pace; had hit traffic here previously and this mark should be within range for a yard also responsible for Terries Royale. |

9th 7 (7) |
20th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
C&D winner last summer (good to firm) and he added to his haul with a ready win at Southwell (1m, AW) in December; chased home Timely Affair back at Southwell three weeks ago (1m) but while he is 4lb better off today, he wouldn't be sure to reverse the placings (raced awkwardly under pressure). |

Two wins in first season as a 3yo included a beating of the two clear market leaders plus Spirit Of Bowland over C&D in December; modest return to action under same conditions last month but could leave that behind today; Jason Hart, who gets aboard him for the first time, is 1-1 for the trainer. |

4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |
8st 4lb |
Popped up at a big price in a busy finish on Tapeta (1m) last month but she didn't hit the same level when fourth at Chepstow (1m, good; 5-2 favourite) last time; that wasn't a bad effort but she needs to find more back up in trip; 1lb out of the weights. |

15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |

Inconsistent filly who popped up at a big price in a busy finish on Tapeta a fortnight ago; there can't be any complaints about a 2lb rise but history suggests she's no certainty to repeat the dose. |

Sole win from 12 came in the mud at Ffos Las (1m, heavy) last September; didn't offer much in her first three starts this year, and only a smidgen more when sixth of nine at Kempton (1m; 28-1, beaten 3l) four weeks ago. |

13th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |

Five-time AW winner including over C&D; his last success was 17 months ago but he returned after a short break with an eye-catching fourth in a Wolverhampton handicap (6f, Tapeta) last week; didn't get much luck in that race and he's in the mix back up in trip; visor reapplied. |

7th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |

His C&D third in March was his only effort of note since wind surgery last summer; it hasn't been a springboard to better things and he's not a solid option. |

3rd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Rarely seen on turf these days even though he has won on it; only one piece of recent worthwhile form and jockey (who also owns him) is having her first ride in public; has dropped 8lb below his last winning mark, though, so could play a part if producing his best. |

Returned to form when winning two classified events at Southwell (1m) in March but he's been well held back in handicaps in his last two runs; didn't run badly at Nottingham (8.3f, good) in April but that took his turf record to 1-18. |
