2nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Form for new yard this term comprises two placed efforts over 1m and a running-on sixth over 7f; useful over 6f early in career but isn't crying out for the return to this trip. |
7/1 |

18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Smart 2yo for Wiliam Haggas; won a Killarney handicap in July 2024 when trained by Willie Mullins; two good runs for new yard this spring, third at Newcastle and Pontefract (both 1m), and likely to be in the shake up. |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Still to find top form this term but he is well handicapped if a change of headgear (first-time visor for cheekpieces) gives him a lift. |

4th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |

Still to find top form this term but he's attractively handicapped and may prove resurgent with Tom Marquand up for first time; gained last three wins off current mark or thereabouts. |

1st May 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Began his 3yo campaign with a BHA mark of 93; a lot of water has flowed under the bridge since but he has bounced back to form for Adam Kirby, finishing second at Chelmsford in March (7f) before an easy win at Yarmouth ten days ago (6f, good to firm); 3lb well in under a penalty; obvious chance. |

21st Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
A fairly useful 7f winner at his best; gambled on for his new yard and and shaped well when second of 11 in 7f Chelmsford handicap 26 days ago, just edged out having been set plenty to do; up 3lb but he can make amends with cheekpieces refitted. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Runner-up to an odds-on favourite in a C&D maiden (40-1) last June and mostly competitive since; made the breakthrough in a tight finish at Redcar (7f, Class 5, good; 28-1) last November; 2lb higher for seasonal reappearance, representing an in-form trainer. |

20th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Three wins in 2024 but he has drawn a blank since; returns to his optimum trip off a reduced mark and this is his first Class 5 handicap for some time; not solid but he has the ability to go well. |
7/1 |

6th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Dual course winner (6f/7f) and 3lb below his last winning mark but patchy form since returned to the AW and attempts this far for the first time; hood given a go. |

18th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 195y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Record is only 1-14 but he's attractively treated and proved resurgent with rallying fifth at Thirsk (7f, good) last month on third start for new yard; not ruled out. |
11/2 |
|
5th 12 (10) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Began 2025 in good form, winning a handicap at Catterick and then finishing a good second at Ripon (both 6f, good); modest form in two runs back with Seb Spencer but his return to action at Doncaster three weeks ago certainly didn't get to the bottom of him, travelling well under restraint and then meeting some trouble as the race was unfolding; capable of better, perhaps markedly so, and the betting should be revealing. |

21st Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
2-2 over C&D, with the most recent of those wins coming last May off the same mark as today; solid efforts on the AW when last seen and he's since undergone wind surgery for the second time; contender back at this track. |
9/1 |
|
5 (4) |
16th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Record of 5-20 and his last success was off a similar mark in May; didn't shine at Newcastle last time but that was a muddling race and he didn't get much luck over C&D (close third) on his penultimate run; has claims if he can recapture that form and he's an interesting contender. |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Gained last year's two wins over 7f on good ground in August and came second in a 15-runner race next time; made a respectable return to action one month ago and enters each-way calculations. |
16/1 |
|
5th 8 (1) |
23rd Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 96y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Gained last year's two wins in August but has recorded his other two successes (2023/2024) in the month of April; drawn against the inner rail and could be a danger, provided he's in top form on seasonal debut; market support would heighten interest. |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Last of 20 over 6f last May on his only race here, before finishing on the heels of the leaders twice over 7f at Doncaster; 0-11 on turf and not the most consistent but he won at Newcastle on two of his last three AW starts and the latest was over 7f; 6lb lower today and needs a close look. |

1st 3 (3) |
1st May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |

All four wins have been here but over 6f; he appears to stay 7f but had a shocker over C&D last time; that was too bad to be true in fairness. |

Made it four out of five in handicaps when prevailing in a big field at Doncaster (7f, good to firm); this lightly raced 4yo is clearly progressive and should be a tough nut to crack. |

1st 5 (15) |
24th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Won three of his last four, comprising two wins at Leicester (good to soft) and an AW success at Southwell (also 7f) on this month's comeback; big field no bother and he has to be of interest under a 3lb nudge. |

Won off this mark at Doncaster (7f, good to soft) last July; three lesser runs followed and no return to form on his reappearance in April; he could improve for that latest effort but his claims aren't compelling. |

9th 2 (11) |
25th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Strong at the finish when winning a 7f handicap at Doncaster last summer (good to soft); three lesser efforts followed and he returns from his 172 break over a trip that may be too sharp; he is drawn near some good pace though and looks worth a market check. |

15th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Only made her debut just under a year ago; best effort on second start when runner-up in 7f novice on the July course (good to firm) in June; not badly treated on that form but didn't build on it and ended last term with a whimper when tailed off at Musselburgh in August; market might help on this seasonal/handicap debut. |
