1st 7 (3) |
27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Three runs at Newcastle, winning two of them and desperately unlucky in the 3yo handicap last Good Friday on the other; looked set for another productive season when scoring at Kempton in March and a subsequent York defeat shouldn't be used as conclusive evidence the handicapper has caught up; leading claims back on AW. |
4/1 |

6th 5 (5) |
13th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Five wins last year (AW/soft) and he improved again to win in good style on his reappearance at Kempton (6f, AW) in March; he's 5-9 on AW as opposed to 1-7 on turf but there can be optimism that he is just as good on grass (has shown promise on various ground) and he's firmly in calculations. |
6/1 |

1st 5 (6) |
28th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Hold-up sprinter who won five times in 2025; fifth in a big-field event at the Curragh last September when he had to wait for an age for a gap to appear; appeals as the type to progress again this year and he's high on the list, for all he will need luck in running. |

27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Reliable operator on AW and after wins at Chelmsford and Wolverhampton he found only Tuco Salamanca too strong in his hat-trick bid in March; better off with that rival today but not sure he's quite so progressive. |
16/1 |
|
2nd 3 (3) |
28th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
2-2 this year, winning 6f handicaps at Chelmsford in January and at Wolverhampton three weeks ago; 6lb rise for latest success takes him to a career-high mark but he is well drawn and should give it another good go. |
6/1 |
|
1st 5 (4) |
7th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Running in this race for the third time, having finished second in 2024 and fourth last year; those runs were after a break but he has the benefit of a run this time around, winning a 6f handicap at Chelmsford five weeks ago; still on a feasible mark and he is a key player for a stable going well. |

25th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
On a losing run but he retains plenty of ability and his latest fifth of 12 at Windsor (6f, good to firm) was another solid effort; should make another bold bid. |
4/1 |
|
5th 10 (2) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 12y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Over two years since the last of his five wins; shaped well at Kempton on his reappearance but he hasn't built on it in two runs since; broke out of the stalls and withdrawn when favourite for a Kempton handicap last month; well drawn to attack and he lurks on a dangerous mark. |
8/1 |
|
4 (5) |
20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Has five wins, four being on AW but losing run stretches back to May 2024; gets little respite from the handicapper but has run with credit on all three starts this year. |

18th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Has been in good form in 6f handicaps this season, including second over C&D in April (good to soft) and third at Carlisle in May (good to firm); won his first race on turf when prevailing at Newbury last week (good to soft); has a penalty but sound chance. |
5/4 |
|
1st 4 (1) |
11th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

A Southwell maiden win last summer remains his only success after 15 attempts but he has run good races in defeat in all three starts this year; conditions should suit well and he is more appealing than most. |
4/1 |

3rd 10 (8) |
30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 182y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Found only Realign too strong at Haydock (6f, good to soft) last autumn despite meeting trouble at a crucial stage, and he was back on the up when a neck second of 16 at Ripon (6f, good to soft) six weeks ago; reliable and has notably solid credentials. |

15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 12y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Justified short-priced favouritism in the corresponding event 12 months ago off a 3lb lower mark; absent until returning at Kempton in March, a race where he was well supported but weakened in the final furlong; still has low mileage. |
6/1 |
|
5th 4 (2) |
28th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Lightly-raced 5yo who has won three of his six starts; readily justified short-priced favouritism at Windsor (6f, good to firm) when last seen in June and it is unlikely this mark is beyond him; takes on match-fit rivals here though and may come on for the run. |

30th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |

Has performed creditably a few times this term but her form surprisingly dipped at Windsor last time, has gained both wins at that venue; others preferred. |

9th 9 (1) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 12y Class 3 |

Well suited by this track, recording both her wins here and in the frame on her other three visits; ran on well to take third at Goodwood eight days ago; one to take seriously. |

3rd 9 (9) |
7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |

Both wins at Windsor but she is effective elsewhere; runner-up in two of her three starts this year but she's back from nine weeks off and could prove vulnerable. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Only seventh when favourite for this race last year; posted two successive career bests on AW in February and March but those efforts haven't been matched since, on the last three occasions in turf handicaps; drops in grade with cheekpieces added to his tongue-tie. |
12/1 |

11th 22 (21) |
20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Won two AW races over 6f in early spring but he's had shortcomings in turf handicaps off marks in the 90s before and since, including over C&D, and looks to have his share of weight. |
40/1 |
|
11th 7 (16) |
13th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who, having been gelded, won two in a row over 6f on AW earlier this year; further progress cannot be ruled out but he's finished seventh on his last two starts and needs something extra today. |

Won here over 7f in February either side of wins over this trip at Kempton; encountered a wide trip when down the field in a higher grade than this last time and he may well be able to bounce back. |
8/1 |

8th 11 (8) |
28th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
8st 7lb |
Arrives seeking a four-timer, two of the wins over C&D, and he hasn't been treated punitively by the assessor having gone up just 6lb; this is a much stiffer test of his credentials but there are no doubts surrounding his wellbeing. |
12/1 |

1st 6 (8) |
4th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Has started 2026 with wins over C&D and in a small field at Wolverhampton (7f); only 1lb higher on the hat-trick bid but this is more competitive and he's drawn widest. |

Went close off this mark over C&D in November; good run at Kempton on his penultimate start and he will find this more manageable than the hot Kempton handicap he contested on Friday; respected. |

9th 8 (5) |

Two-time C&D winner; has been competitive off this sort of mark in recent months, beaten two noses into third over C&D 24 days ago (blinkered first time); up in class but likely to give it another good go. |

11th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Soundly beaten on final two runs last year (1m, AW) and same story on his three outings this spring (6f, AW/good/good to firm); arrives with something to prove but he's 5lb lower than when runner-up over C&D (soft) last October and the return to slow ground could facilitate a major revival. |

8th 3 (7) |
17th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |

Heavy defeats on his last three starts, including his Kempton reappearance three weeks ago; he's on a fair mark on the pick of his efforts though and this track does seem to suit him well; Tom Marquand is a notable booking for the stable (his nine rides for Stan Moore have yielded two wins, a second, three thirds and two fourths); lively outsider. |

22nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Triple turf winner who scored at Windsor (6f, good to firm) last July in her final run for Tom Dascombe; only 1lb higher than for that success but she's been out of sorts in two runs for new yard this spring and needs to get back on track. |
16/1 |

7th 1 (3) |
4th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |

Has a record of 3-13 overall and 2-2 at Windsor, most recently scoring over C&D (good to firm) last July on final start of her 2025 campaign; finished last at Kempton (AW) on stable/seasonal debut but looks interesting returned to this venue with the outing under her belt. |
7/1 |
|
11th 10 (9) |
28th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |

Last seen making all to win a 6f handicap (Class 4) at Windsor 257 days ago; has since left Tom Dascombe; up in class and could prove vulnerable; connections also run Tuco Salamanca. |
