5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 3f 218y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
1m2f might be his trip but this far is worth exploring and he went close at Lingfield last time (good) despite starting slowly; very at home on soft ground and has won here; respected. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 3 (6) |
18th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
This looks his optimal trip, having won over it at Doncaster in March, and should be happier back on turf having been unable to take his usual prominent position on the AW a fortnight ago; one of the likelier winners. |

3rd 7 (8) |
27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 4f 98y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
AW regular who scored here (1m2f) in December and was a solid second over C&D in March; blew the start but ran respectably when fourth on turf at Chester a fortnight ago and he's handicapped to be competitive again. |
10/1 |
|
4th 10 (9) |
13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |
8st 7lb |
Captured a third success when winning at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) in December but he's still 3lb higher despite going 0-12 subsequently; has run well on plenty of those occasions, and today's conditions should be fine, but others are more interesting for win purposes. |
14/1 |
|
4th 4 (4) |
10th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Kept busy in 2026 and running well without winning, in the frame for the sixth time with third of nine in 1m2f Haydock handicap 19 days ago; not out of things on his Polytrack debut. |

5th Jul 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Good second at Doncaster (1m4f) in May but scuppered by a slow start when a never-nearer fifth of 11 at Hamilton (1m4f) last time; no surprise to see her play a prominent role here. |
11/4 |
|
5th 3 (7) |
4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 15y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Just one win from her 17 starts but she's run really well in defeat at Doncaster on both turf outings this season (1m2f/1m4f, good to soft/good) and there's every chance she'll be bang there once more. |
6/4 |
|
2nd 6 (7) |
16th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 197y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Inconsistent sort with record of 1-16; finished behind Sisterandbrother when fifth at Southwell (1m3f) last month but a close third in big field over C&D on her reappearance in March; has claims if she can recapture that form and her win was on good ground. |

27th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
0-7 but she was runner-up at Doncaster over 1m4f on two of her three starts last summer (tailed off on the AW on the other one); returned from 258 days off with a solid effort there over 1m2f in March and has claims on her first start since. |
9/2 |
|
4th 5 (13) |
28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Emerged from off the pace to be second in smallish fields over 1m4f here (good/good to firm) last summer, her first two handicaps; absent since finishing tailed off over 2m on AW in July but the first of those runner-up efforts here came off a six-month break so she's evidently capable when fresh; not discounted. |
10/1 |
|
11th 1 (9) |
13th Jul 2025 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
5yo who emerged from off the pace to be second in smallish fields at Doncaster (1m4f) in her two handicaps; showed ability at this track earlier and career began only last September, so better could still be forthcoming; this is 4f further, however. |

16th Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Dual Newcastle winner who added two turf victories last autumn, all off lower marks; consistently below market expectations of late and will want to settle better than over C&D last time, coming from stall 13 under a jockey taking just her third ride. |
20/1 |
|
7th 11 (4) |
1st Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |

Dual Newcastle winner who added two turf victories last autumn, all off lower marks; will want a good test over this trip round here and hasn't been at his best on grass lately. |
12/1 |

7th 4 (10) |
15th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 68y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Scored twice (around 1m) at Ayr and Beverley last summer; back in decent nick in 2026, fifth in 8.5f Beverley handicap 22 days ago; ought to be in the shake-up again from an easing mark. |

27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 4f 98y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Was having just his third go on AW when taking a Southwell handicap (1m3f, Tapeta) last month and he backed it up with slightly unlucky second at Doncaster (1m4f, good to firm) three weeks ago; 1lb nudge looks no bother at all and he's near the top of the list. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 4 (1) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 197y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Took advantage of a reduced mark when battling well to score at 20-1 at Southwell (1m3f, AW; cheekpieces reapplied) two weeks ago; back up 4lb in the weights but he remains well treated on old form and his first win was on turf; shortlisted. |
5/1 |
|
1st 6 (4) |
21st May 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
Handicapper quick to ease off this spring and he turned in his best effort for this yard when fourth behind Sisterandbrother at Doncaster last weekend; inclined to over-race back in cheekpieces there and has to prove he can do it on the AW. |

18th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Held on well to score at Doncaster (1m, good to firm) last month and has no stamina worries over this longer trip but recent 3lb rise is probably enough to leave this 8yo vulnerable to younger rivals here. |
5/1 |
|
1st 11 (2) |
25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
A dual 7f/1m scorer at Redcar last autumn and she comes here in decent nick, suffering a poor run when seventh of ten in 8.5f Beverley handicap ten days ago; needs considering off a slipping mark. |
11/1 |
|
7th 8 (5) |
15th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 100y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Won three turf handicaps (1m/7f) in 2025, all in a tongue-tie and the latest with cheekpieces on for the first time; no headgear for either start last month (probably didn't stay 1m2f last time) and the accessories are missing again; back on her last winning mark, though. |

9st 9lb |
Not beaten far when fourth here (1m) in January and sixth here (1m2f) in March; mid-division at Doncaster (1m2f) later in March when last seen; drops back in trip after a break and is probably best watched. |
9/1 |
|
8th 13 (11) |
28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Fourth is the best he's managed in seven AW outings this winter, despite being prominent in the market a few times; his sole win from 24 starts came on turf but his claims still aren't obvious. |
10/1 |
|
6th 10 (10) |
5th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |

5lb lower than when beaten a head over C&D last May, but his form since returning in December has been patchy while he is just 1-23. |

28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Multiple Flat wins at 1m-1m4f, including on heavy; unable to make a significant impact on the Flat last autumn but he's run with credit over hurdles in recent months and is well treated back on the level (6lb below his last winning mark); considered. |
10/1 |
|
2nd 4 |
9th Feb 2026 Heavy 1m 7f 156y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Multiple Flat wins at 1m-1m4f, including on heavy; switched to hurdling late in the day but he's taken surprisingly well to this game, running two good races at Leicester (extended 1m7f; soft and heavy), and may well improve for this easier stamina test now handicapping; thereabouts. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 11 |
20th Jan 2026 Soft 1m 7f 113y Class 4 |

8-46 on the Flat; left it rather late in the day to launch his hurdling career but went down fighting over C&D (soft) just after Christmas and has a good chance if in similar form again. |

9st 5lb |
Landed her seventh win when scoring at Pontefract (1m2f, good) last month but has run below par at Ripon and Musselburgh since; the step back in trip is also unlikely to play to her strengths. |

6th 3 (5) |
30th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Landed hat-trick last August and hit the target at Pontefract two runs ago (all 1m2f); follow-up effort at Ripon, where she's won three times, was bitterly disappointing 13 days ago and her favoured hold-up tactics aren't easy to execute around here. |
5/1 |

7th 2 (8) |
17th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
All of her seven turf wins have been on good/good to firm but she's effective on good to soft; well held in first three runs this season but she got back on the scoresheet with a strong finish at Pontefract (1m2f, good) two weeks ago; up 3lb for that narrow success but she's 3-6 over C&D and she defied this mark here last summer; key player. |

Made the most of his rail draw (he's landed the top stall again today) when winning under Zoe Lewis (rides Homeland today) over C&D on soft ground nine days ago; this race looks a bit deeper but he's only 2lb higher. |
