26th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Off the mark at the tenth attempt (first in cheekpieces) when keeping on strongly to win at Windsor 15 days ago (Danger Alert fourth and Over Spiced fifth); up 5lb but still unexposed in the context of this field. |
9/4 |

1st 7 (8) |
11th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Nine-race maiden but he has shown some promise and he wasn't beaten far at Bath 12 days ago (5.7f, firm); 1lb lower today and now tried in cheekpieces. |
5/1 |

3rd 6 (1) |
29th Apr 2026 Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Eight-race maiden and he didn't look an easy ride when second of four in a Wolverhampton novice in February, hanging badly right; only sixth of nine in a handicap at Newcastle (5f, AW) 73 days ago and now returns to turf on his first start since; others make more appeal. |

2nd 2 (5) |
29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 16y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Has dropped a fair way down the weights over the last year or so, but looked back in prime form when scooting clear to win readily by 4l at Southwell (5f, AW) last week; also suited by good to firm turf and is 4lb ahead of the handicapper under his 5lb penalty. |

1st 2 (3) |
21st May 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Still to win a handicap and has been turned over as favourite four times this year; did well to finish second last time (first run under Seamus Cronin) having reared at the start and it's bound to fall right at some point, maybe tonight. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 4 (7) |
11th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Just one win from 28 starts and he has burned some fingers already this year; no doubt he has the ability to win off this mark but the excuses are running out. |

1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 34y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Better strike-rate on turf than AW; solid third at Windsor three weeks ago (for Chloe Lyons) and has a chance if in the same form; finished behind a couple of today's rivals in a C&D handicap last summer. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 2 (6) |
11th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
C&D winner last summer; off the mark for 2026 when making all at Chelmsford in January (5f); two defeats since have come over 6f; better expected back at 5f. |
10/1 |
|
7th 7 (7) |
4th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 10lb |
Recorded his first AW success (four turf wins) when making all in 5f handicap at Chelmsford in January; most of his wins have come at that trip but his C&D third a fortnight ago underlines he is effective at 6f. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Still consistent but hasn't won in three years and isn't as good now; just a fair comeback effort over 5f here 12 days ago in second-time cheekpieces (has often worn a visor) but won't mind going back up in trip now he's had a run. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 16y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Looked as good as ever when holding on to win from the front at Bath (5f, good) this month; also suited by this C&D but managed only fifth on her next two starts and might remain vulnerble off a mark this high. |
5/1 |
|
5th 1 (1) |
26th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
C&D win on May 4; came up shy under a penalty at Windsor one week later (race won by Correspondence) but she can race off 2lb lower today; should run her race but it won't be easy trying to dominate in this field. |
9/2 |
|
5th 1 (2) |
11th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Did well for Grace Harris in 2025 and she has continued the good work this time around, getting off the mark for the year with a game win at Bath last week (5f, good); has a penalty to shoulder but she is well drawn and should make another bold bid. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Up in the weights following three wins in the second half of last year; not at his best in a couple of starts back off 3lb higher and might need more help yet from the handicapper. |
25/1 |
|
6th 8 (3) |
11th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Three wins (6f, good to firm (twice) and 5f, AW) last year; didn't run badly on last week's return to action at Salisbury but he will need a step forward to take this. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 1 (8) |
3rd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
11st 2lb |
It took him a long time to get off the mark but he was successful three times last year; goes on any ground, but may just need this after five months off; stable also runs Beau Jardine. |

11th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |

More prolific on AW than turf; arrives on the back of a solid third at Lingfield two weeks ago (6f, AW); each-way shout. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 4 (4) |
27th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Didn't fire at Chelmsford last time but was a close second off a reduced mark here (5f) two starts ago and this return to 6f won't be a problem; can make his presence felt. |
