12th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Three wins last year, at 6f and 7f; needs to get himself back on track and this is only his second attempt at 5f. |
8/1 |

8th 1 (7) |
29th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
On the back foot early due to issues at the start a couple of times of late but has also disappointed; weighted to go well if Oliver Hoodless, who rode a 33-1 winner in February, can get a good tune out of him. |
12/1 |

8th 5 (10) |
21st Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Not much has gone to plan since the turn of the year and he's drawn wide today but he moves back up to his optimum trip after two 6f runs (lost ground at the start both times) and is well handicapped if judged on his 7f Wolverhampton form from the autumn. |

8st 13lb |
Front-runner; 0-10 on turf but placed at Windsor (6f, good to firm) and here (5.7f, firm) on his last two starts; cheekpieces return after one run in blinkers. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 5 (3) |
12th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
3-34 on the AW and 0-9 on turf; has been threatening a breakthrough on grass and looks sure to go well again from the front; blinkers replace usual cheekpieces. |
3/1 |
|
3rd 8 (10) |
7th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Front-runner; arrives on the back of two second-place finishes over 5f on the AW; 0-8 on turf but is effective on good to firm; not sure to benefit from the return to 6f. |

12th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |

Eight of his nine wins have been on turf but he was comfortably held back on the grass here two weeks ago. |
10/1 |
|
4th 6 (5) |
29th Apr 2026 Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
8st 4lb |
Eight of his nine wins have been on turf, with the most recent coming at Chepstow (5f, good) last August; weakened late at Wolverhampton 20 days ago and now steps up in grade. |
10/1 |
|
8th 6 (2) |
9th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Only one of his nine wins have been on the AW but he posted some solid efforts this winter; third of nine over this C&D 51 days ago and this is his first start since; has claims. |

12th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Strike-rate of 2-30 and her habit of starting slowly appears to be going nowhere; opposable. |
25/1 |
|
9th 8 (5) |
7th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
8st 7lb |
Habitual slow-starter; late headway into fourth behind Ay Gee Ell over C&D in December but less good over 6f on her last two starts; others look stronger for win purposes. |
33/1 |
|
5th 8 (4) |
5th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Just 2lb above her winning mark at Goodwood (6f) in June but getting away on terms has become a problem and she was borderline reluctant to race last month; 0-6 on AW and best watched. |

12th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Twice a winner in 2025, once here; reappeared with a close sixth at this track last month and it was his first visit to Pontefract when below par three weeks ago; can go well. |
9/2 |
|
5th 9 (1) |
21st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
A two-time 5f scorer in 2025; not disgraced after eight months off when sixth of 13 in 5f Bath handicap 16 days ago; one to consider with that run under his belt. |
7/1 |
|
6th 4 (8) |
5th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Two wins last season, including here (5.7f, firm); 6lb higher than for the second of them and he will need to be at his best on his return from eight months off. |

12th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
8st 6lb |
Veteran who is on a lengthy losing run; can lead but didn't at Windsor last time and was never involved; if on his game he wouldn't be without hope. |
8/1 |
|
6th 8 (2) |
7th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Veteran who is on a losing run of 22; knocking on the door on AW when last seen and he won't mind getting back on the grass; has made the running but it is not a prerequisite; could go well. |
13/2 |
|
4th 10 (3) |
12th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Veteran with nine wins on his record, all over sprint trips; stays this far though and he holds each-way claims once more. |

1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 34y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Ran well for third on her stable debut at Bath in April (5f, good); fair effort three weeks later but she took a backwards step 20 days ago; edging down the weights but others look safer. |
12/1 |
|
7th 3 (7) |
12th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Three-time winner for previous stable; not far away in two runs over C&D for this one and should be on the premises once more, for all that cheekpieces haven't done much for her when tried twice before. |
7/2 |
|
5th 5 (1) |
27th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Successful three times for previous yard, most recently last June; creditable third over C&D (good) on stable/seasonal debut; may build on that effort; respected off the same mark. |
3/1 |
