8st 10lb |
Her last two wins have come over C&D, the latest off this mark last June (good to firm); bumped into one at Leicester 16 days ago and it was a run that promised better; can't rule out. |

14th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Had a luckless passage at Bath last month but had a clearer run through when winning at Leicester (6f, good to firm) five days ago, travelling strongly and doing it comfortably; carries a 4lb penalty for that success and looks the one to beat. |
7/4 |

1st 6 (2) |
9th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Tough sort who last won on turf more than a year ago but he had a luckless run at Bath recently (extended 5f, good; no aids, as today); acts on this track and versatile regarding the ground; can't rule out. |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
15 races for one win, at Epsom (7f, good to firm; from 9lb lower) last July; faced 7f on AW for last four starts, with career-best form in two close calls, the latest under Mikkel Mortensen at Southwell late last month but today's stronger race for return to turf surely demands better still. |
14/1 |
|
2nd 7 (1) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Sole win at Epsom (7f, good to firm; from 8lb lower) last July; fine on AW, as shown with near miss at Kempton (7f; beaten a neck) last October; sixth - faring best of the three involved in this race - in recent 7f Class 5 at Kempton; may strip fitter, with Mikkel Mortensen's 5lb claim handy. |

1st May 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Won two 6f events on Polytrack in February; unplaced in both handicaps though and his latest 2lb drop isn't enough to tempt. |
10/1 |
|
10th 2 (1) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
All four runs over 6f; dead-heated in a Chelmsford maiden and narrowly defied a penalty here in a novice that's worked out well; made an underwhelming handicap debut at Southwell but he's back at Lingfield with cheekpieces added and well drawn to boot. |

13th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 42y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Off the mark by a short head at Leicester (5f novice, good to soft) in October and subsequently gelded; creditable third in handicap at Ripon (6f, good) on return 18 days ago and won't mind the drop back in trip. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 2 (2) |
25th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Rewarded for a series of consistent efforts when scrambling home in a 5f novice at Leicester (6-5 favourite) last October; gelded, and back from a winter break with the possibility of more to come; shouldn't be troubled by returning to 6f. |

9st 9lb |
Plenty in hand when winning two in a row at Lingfield last August/September (7f, AW; maiden/handicap); however, well beaten back on turf on both runs since and she has something to prove on grass. |

25th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Made it 0-16 when well beaten here 16 days ago; however, this was his first attempt at 7f and he was running well over 6f previously (AW/good to firm); might not be far away off a career-low mark back down in trip. |

21st May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 16y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
A dual winner over the extended 7f at Ffos Las (good/soft) last August; made an encouraging return when fifth over 7f at Kempton in March but well held back on turf at Leicester 12 days ago. |

A dual 7f winner last August and she made an encouraging return when fifth in 7f Kempton handicap in March; this course winner needs considering. |

30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Favourite for AW/handicap debut at Lingfield (7f; first run as a gelding) five weeks ago but never figured, finishing eighth of ten; 2lb lower and back over 6f, seeking something more positive. |

Betting Forcast
4/1 Under The Twilight, 13/2 Mumayaz, 6/1 Jersey Maverick, 20/1 Numero Vingt, 6/1 Koffee And Kale, 18/1 Angels Share, 4/1 Fenlander, 10/1 Cypriot Diaspora, 4/1 Obsidian Verse

Magic Lady Mae
Verdict
The preference is for JERSEY MAVERICK, who went close at Southwell in April and did best of those ridden prominently in a competitive race at York last time. The drop back to 6f shouldn’t be too much of an inconvenience and he may be able to double his tally. Under The Twilight drops in grade and is next on the list, while Mumayaz, Fenlander and Obsidian Verse are also shortlisted. [Harry March]
