1st 5 (10) |
8th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Wide-margin winner of a valuable sales race at the Curragh as a 2yo; hard to find the right race in a handful of starts since but he ran two fair races on the AW at the start of the year and this stiff 6f should be more up his street; can figure. |

No match for Completely Random at Lingfield last month but the winner has done his bit for that form and it was a solid effort; one to consider. |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
His turf wins have come on good or slower including heavy ground; well held in three runs this spring but he won three times on AW during the winter and was successful in this race last year; now 2lb lower than for his last win and has claims if he can rediscover his spark. |

9th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
All his wins have been at 6f, the latest at Southwell in April, but effective at 5f; goes particularly well on soft/heavy ground so today's conditions should be ideal; fair run last time at Hamilton (1.25l sixth of 13); could go well from his high draw. |

21st May 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Two wins last summer (5f, good/good to firm) and didn't see out 6f when third of six on recent reappearance at Doncaster (6f, good to firm); has run well on slow ground in the past and he's a key player back down to 5f. |
4/1 |

3rd 5 (4) |
2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Often inclined to pull hard over this trip in the past and was kept to 5f last year, when winning three times; undergone wind surgery since last seen six months ago and will need to settle in tonight's small field if he's to have a chance off this mark. |

21st May 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
On a handy mark on his best AW form last winter and he's also effective on turf; however, he hasn't shone since being short-headed at Lingfield in January and needs to raise his game. |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Versatile regards ground; six wins include two here (7f/5f) and he was second in this race last year; yet to get going this term but there was the faintest hint he might be on the way back at Chester (5f) last time and maybe the return to this trip can help; mark fine. |

8th 7 (8) |
7th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Good spell culminated in an October double; form has dipped sharply since and he is due a 2lb drop in future; close second in sole C&D attempt but this is harder and doesn't look as if he's about to add to his tally. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 182y Class 3 |

Went close at Pontefract (5f, good to soft) on reappearance but had no obvious excuses at Doncaster next time; more exposed than some of these and 6lb above his highest winning mark. |
14/1 |
|
6th 4 (7) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
String of solid efforts for Ethan Tindall, including two wins, in the past nine months; on a career-high mark, having been nudged up another 2lb, but there was nothing wrong with his comeback effort at Pontefract early last month (5f); has to be considered. |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Met trouble when fifth at Chester (6f, good) a fortnight ago but there were no apparent excuses when filling the same position at Newmarket last Saturday; the type to click for this yard before long but others are stronger today. |

5th 3 (5) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Ran well when fifth at Chester (6f, good) last Friday, when denied a clear run on his second stable start; Chester has brought out the best him in the past but he can also be effective elsewhere and could be thereabouts. |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Dual turf winner who last won in August 2023; had reduced mark and regular hood removed when back to some form for second of six at Southwell (6f, AW; Alondra third) in April; could be rediscovering his level and he's not dismissed from the same mark. |

2nd 8 (7) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Won at Sandown (7f, good to soft) in August 2023 but unplaced in 13 starts since and last of 12 here (7f) in January; mark continues to fall but he has a lot to prove back in trip after a break; regular hood removed. |

18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 182y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Both wins over 6f (good to soft and good), latterly at Doncaster last July when fending off one who won his next two, the pair clear; winless since but he had some excuses and is weighted to go well at this realistic level. |
8/1 |

14 (8) |
24th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
C&D win (good) in July; respectable efforts in defeat since but he missed an intended run due to heavy going last October and conditions could be an issue. |
20/1 |
Betting Forcast
2/1 Bolo Neighs, 11/2 Baldomero, 7/2 Station X, 10/1 Brummell, 10/1 Accrual, 20/1 Smart Vision, 20/1 Havana Rum, 8/1 Miraculous, 25/1 Tough Enough, 10/1 Ran Amok
Verdict
Bolo Neighs (second choice) and Baldomero hold sound claims but this promises to set up nicely for STATION X (nap), who has the plum draw for one who likes to get on with it. Ran Amok might reward each-way support despite running from out of the handicap, while better shows from Miraculous or Smart Vision would not be the biggest shock.[Richard Russell]
