5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 3f 218y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
1m1f winner in France last March; might be finding his feet for new yard after a never-dangerous sixth (not beaten far) over 1m last time and this could be more his trip. |

8st 13lb |
1m1f winner in France last March but he's not made an impact in four runs at up to 1m4f for Ian Williams; has dropped down the weights but he needs to raise his back at this trip after 162 days off. |

15th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Scored on his AW/nursery debut in 2024 but wasn't competitive in just three starts last year; did gain plenty of market traction on the last of them, though, and last month's reappearance at Bath wasn't totally devoid of promise; tries 1m2f for just the second time and he's not fully exposed. |

Made a winning handicap debut in AW contest as a 2yo but failed to transfer the form back to turf last year; admittedly still has low mileage and may have a better 2026 campaign; heed the market signals. |

8st 12lb |
0-14 on turf (5-19 on AW) but he ran well when he last tackled grass in summer 2024; returned from some time off with promising fourth at Southwell (1m3f, AW) last month and can be in the mix if building on that effort. |

9st 9lb |
Five-time Wolverhampton winner for Shaun Lycett, all off lower marks; pulled up here last September, having clipped heels on his first run in five months and for this yard, and has been absent since; this trip a bare minimum now. |

2nd Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Newmarket raider; six-race maiden who is proving reasonably consistent and whose handicap efforts, all at about 1m, suggest this step up in distance may well prompt progress; first success is conceivable. |
5/1 |

7th May 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Kept on for third over this C&D on her handicap debut, doing best of those from off the pace, and posted another solid effort when fourth at Beverley (8.5f, good to soft) 22 days ago; good claims back on AW. |

A two-time scorer, including over C&D in the first half of 2025 but she ended last year under something of a cloud; needs to hit the ground running on her seasonal return. |

22nd May 2026 Soft 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
8st 6lb |
10yo who's 2-55, with last win in 2022; well handicapped on some 1m6f form last term and probably needed recent run, but whether he can be competitive at this trip nowadays remains to be seen. |
25/1 |

9th May 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 7lb |
Only 2-54 and a long time has passed since that second success; well handicapped on some form over 1m6f last season but he was up and down last year and he doesn't have a great record when fresh; others preferred. |
