1st 4 (6) |
29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 216y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Dual AW scorer who picked up the second of those wins at Kempton (1m) in March; two solid AW runs followed and he should be fine back on turf, having placed in a course classified (1m, good to firm) in July; player. |
5/2 |
|
4th 5 (4) |
6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Made the breakthrough at Southwell (7f classified) in February and he got back on the scoresheet in a C&D handicap in March; never dangerous when fourth at Southwell last time but this step back up in trip looks a positive and he's not ruled out. |
8/1 |

11th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Back on song when landing 1m Kempton handicap 17 days ago; up 3lb but this C&D winner must enter calculations from a low draw. |

3rd 2 (1) |
20th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Steady progress since handicapping and he took his form to a new level with his ready defeat of Ribston Pippin at Southwell three weeks ago (1m, AW; cheekpieces first time); up 6lb but open to further progress and he should go well if the ground is suitable (smart half-sister Royal Velvet happiest on good or faster). |
4/1 |
|
1st 2 (1) |
29th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Beaten favourite three times since breaking through over C&D in January but his last two efforts were sound; first-time headgear (cheekpieces) could help to focus him and Oisin Murphy is 9-28 (+12.68) for the yard in the last five years; the one to beat. |
7/4 |
|
2nd 4 (5) |
11th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Low-mileage 4yo who got off the mark here in January and posted a good second of nine to Aim For The Bull in 1m Kempton handicap 17 days ago, not enjoying the smoothest of passages under 2f out; enjoys a 1lb weights pull here and can go well. |

8th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Both wins in December including one over this trip; third in all four starts since his latest success and the return to 7f looks to be in his favour; solid contender. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 2 (9) |
25th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Won over 7f at Wolverhampton and Lingfield in December and he's held his form with placed efforts in last three runs including a close call over C&D in January; still looks on a workable mark and he's strongly respected back up in trip. |

19th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 135y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
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. |
20/1 |
|
4th 8 (2) |
25th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Nine-race maiden who has yet to be placed and has been well held in classified events in her last three runs; opposable. |
16/1 |
|
8th 9 (4) |
16th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Yet to hit top form in four runs in 2026 and she went very freely in blinkers when sixth of nine in 9.5f classified event here three weeks ago; cheekpieces are fitted now. |

25th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Seven-race maiden but he finished well to go very close over C&D (11-2) in January; only 1lb higher after a short break and he's a big player if he can repeat that latest form. |
11/4 |
|
2nd 4 (3) |
14th Jan 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Two fair efforts over 1m since handicapping, including when fourth of ten over C&D in November; form dipped slightly at Lingfield last time but he's not fully exposed and far from ruled out. |
4/1 |
|
8 (5) |
23rd Sep 2025 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Has shown nothing in either start, including when tailed off behind Master Vintner at Goodwood (1m2f, heavy; 300-1) three weeks ago. |

25th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Has not finished closer than fifth in her eight starts, including two handicaps and two classified events for current yard; made some late headway in blinkers here (7f) last time but she needs improvement back up in trip. |
16/1 |
|
6th 8 (9) |
4th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Seven-race maiden who has little in the way of solid form; first-time blinkers replace cheekpieces. |
20/1 |
|
6th 3 (2) |
9th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Six-race maiden who isn't particularly solid on form; chance largely depends on how well she responds to first-time headgear. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 216y Class 6 |

0-23 and after going close in a Lingfield classified in February he's been way off that in three subsequent starts, including when tailed off last time. |
16/1 |
|
11th 8 (8) |
29th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Frustrating type (0-22 overall; 0-15 for Tony Carroll) and the fitting of a hood (retained here) saw no upturn at Kempton five weeks ago. |
20/1 |
|
8th 7 (5) |
25th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
21-race maiden; returned to form with a close second in classified event at Lingfield (1m) last month but he failed to back that up at Wolverhampton two weeks ago; hood is now added and he needs to bounce back again after that last run. |

6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Unexposed 4yo but he's generally struggled so far and was tailed off in a C&D handicap (40-1) in March; dropped another 5lb but he's with another new yard now and has plenty to prove; first-time hood replaces cheekpieces. |
33/1 |
|
9th 1 (1) |
25th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Unexposed 4yo but he has a mixed record so far and was last of eight in a Lingfield handicap (1m) three weeks ago; dropped 5lb but he's looked a tricky customer in three runs for his current yard and has plenty to prove; cheekpieces added. |
20/1 |
|
8th 1 (6) |
5th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
In the frame in a pair of AW 1m novices for Andrew Balding last winter; yet to fire for his current yard though and unseated his rider early on having hung badly left in 1m2f handicap here three weeks ago; has something to prove now. |
