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. |

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. |
3/1 |
|
1st 5 (2) |
29th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
C&D winner who is 3lb lower than when last successful; second of nine at Lingfield (5f, AW) in September but he was below his best on turf on his next three outings; returns from a 97-day absence but he's of interest back on the AW. |

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. |
9/2 |
|
5th 7 (3) |
11th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Getting on for two years since his last win but he has run two solid races in defeat this year, not ideally drawn when sixth at Newbury last month; effective over C&D and well handicapped; good chance. |
6/1 |
|
6th 12 (13) |
17th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |

Getting on for two years since his last win but he was a good second in this race last year (off 2lb higher mark) and he returned to action with a promising third at Kempton three weeks ago; solid contender. |

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. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 5 (12) |
16th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Just one win to his name after 13 starts but he ended his 3yo campaign with two fine efforts, notably when chasing home a well-backed sprinter at Haydock in September (6f, good to soft; traffic problems at a crucial stage), and his return to action at Kempton should have blown away any cobwebs; best efforts on flat tracks but he is feasibly weighted if the undulations of Ripon aren't an issue. |
6/1 |
|
4th 7 (7) |
28th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |

Just one win to his name after 12 starts but he ended his 3yo campaign with two fine efforts, notably when chasing home a well-backed sprinter at Haydock in September (6f, good to soft; traffic problems at a crucial stage); 2lb higher mark less of a concern than the fact he has been well beaten in his two seasonal debut runs. |

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. |
7/2 |

1st 2 (7) |
16th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Lightly raced 4yo whose form last term featured wins at Southwell (AW) and Goodwood; hindered by racing on unfavoured part of course at Haydock on reappearance and remains open to further progress; respected. |

6th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Ran well when second of seven on her Southwell reappearance (6f, Tapeta) last month and wasn't disgraced when sixth of 11 in a 0-95 contest over C&D nine days ago; considered down in grade back against her own sex. |
10/1 |
|
6th 9 (1) |
28th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
8st 10lb |
Both her wins have come at Windsor in midsummer; she made an encouraging seasonal return when second of seven in a fillies' handicap at Southwell two weeks ago but another step forward will be required to trouble the principals today. |
20/1 |
|
2nd 2 (4) |
13th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |

Not seen in 140 days and although she has gone well fresh in the past, remains 9lb above her last winning mark; others more convincing. |

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. |
14/1 |
|
7th 5 (9) |
25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Dual turf winner who made it 2-2 on AW when completing a double at Newcastle (6f; off 4lb lower) last month; didn't fire in his hat-trick bid at Kempton but he still has potential and is not ruled out in suitable conditions back on turf. |
11/2 |
|
7th 1 (11) |
28th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 13lb |
He has taken well to AW this winter, winning 6f handicaps at Lingfield and Newcastle; up only 7lb for those wins and it's quite possible there is more in the tank; not ideally drawn but Ferrous overcame stall 11 in this race two years ago. |

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 |
9st 0lb |
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) |
28th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |

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. |

Patchy overall record; didn't enjoy the smoothest of passages at Newbury two weeks ago but he was beaten over 5l at the finish; others are stronger. |
25/1 |

8th 3 (7) |
17th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
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. |
25/1 |

10th 2 (10) |
28th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |

Useful on his day and he was a good second at Newbury last October (7f, soft) off this mark; effective over C&D but an extra furlong probably wouldn't go amiss. |

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 |
9st 10lb |
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 |
8st 10lb |
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. |
