1st 1 (10) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
11st 2lb |
Frequent slow starter who's enjoyed a revival since returned to turf, minus the tongue-tie and headgear; looked to have a bit more in hand than the final margin at Lingfield (1m2f, good to firm) off 3lb lower last time and holds obvious claims. |
7/4 |

1st 1 (2) |
30th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Frequent slow starter who was the biggest price of his trainer's three runners when winning easily at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) last Saturday, without the usual tongue-tie/cheekpieces, as today; had looked on the downgrade on the AW but happier on turf; leading claims back up 6lb. |

23rd May 2026 Good 1m 4f 5y Class 4 |
8st 5lb |
28-1 and well beaten on his stable debut at Newbury eight days ago (1m4f, good); not easily recommended on the back of that. |
33/1 |
|
10th 16 (6) |
15th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Won two handicaps (1m5f/1m4f) last summer for Nick Littmoden and back with him when partially revived in third of four at Yarmouth last month; sold for 6,000gns eight days ago and a case can be made for him. |

2nd 7 (6) |
27th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 5 |
8st 7lb |
C&D winner in 2022 but his latest success came nearly two years ago; third on his first two outings this season (1m4f) and did enough to suggest he's still in form when fourth of six at Redcar (1m6f, good) 20 days ago; drop back in trip may not be ideal. |

|
4th 2 (1) |
7th May 2026 Good 1m 5f 218y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
It has been nearly two years since the last of his four wins but his two starts in 2026 have seen him finish third; conditions won't be an excuse and he's more solid than some. |

27th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Two wins here (1m4f/1m5f) towards the end of last year, which sandwiched a close third of five at Chelmsford on his sole previous crack at 2m; continued in good form over 1m4f here on his last two starts and he's on the shortlist now back up in trip and kept to his favourite venue. |
5/1 |
|
4th 12 (4) |
24th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Record here reads 5121312, with two off the wins over this trip; good second of 11 over C&D three weeks ago and no reason why he won't be in the thick of things again. |

19th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Front-runner who enjoyed a resurgence last year, winning three times over hurdles and once on the Flat; absent since November, though, and will need to resume in peak form to have any chance off current mark. |
7/1 |

1st Nov 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
11st 1lb |
In excellent form over the last few months, winning three times over hurdles and once on the Flat; latest success came from the front over C&D (good; 9-2) 17 days ago; nudged up another 2lb and this is a warmer race but she's fit and hard to discount. |

27th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 23y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Made a winning yard debut at Newcastle (1m4f, AW) last April and he's since won over hurdles at Musselburgh in November; bounced back from a lesser effort when second of six at Redcar (1m6f, good) 20 days ago and won't mind this drop back in trip. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 5 (5) |
7th May 2026 Good 1m 5f 218y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Made all to win a small-field handicap at Newcastle (1m4f, AW) last April off a 2lb higher mark, and made a winning debut over hurdles in November; stayed on for third in a 1m4f handicap at Newcastle in March (visored first time) but looked stretched by 2m latest; this trip should be in range and he can't be ruled out. |

7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 47y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Placed in Musselburgh maiden (1m7f, good to soft) in November but has looked out of sorts over hurdles and on the Flat in recent months (had wind op before latest run); needs to turn a corner. |
33/1 |
|
7th 8 (7) |
11th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 189y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Runner-up at Newcastle (1m4f, AW) in January but he's struggled over hurdles and on the Flat subsequently and is now 0-17; hopes are pinned on wind surgery prompting a major turnaround. |

8th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
First and second in 1m3f handicaps at Southwell before unsuited by the drop back to 1m at Ripon; he's fine on turf and could be given another chance. |
11/1 |
|
5th 9 (14) |
17th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Last of four wins on turf came in August 2021 but he's been in good order on AW recently, winning at Southwell (1m3f) in March; not sure that the drop back in trip will suit on this return to turf. |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 6 |

Two good C&D runs off higher marks in September/October last year, but disappointing since, including back on turf at Ripon last time. |
25/1 |
|
9th 13 (7) |
17th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
Both wins came when trained in France; yet to be placed in 14 starts for current yard; makes seasonal debut and hard to enthuse about. |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Back to winning ways at Southwell (1m4f) in March and has continued in good nick, undergoing wind surgery before third of 11 in 1m6f handicap there 33 days ago; very much one to consider in a change of headgear. |
7/1 |

3rd 4 (10) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 6 |
10st 13lb |
Inconsistent 7yo who was well held here last time but that was after an emphatic win in an amateur jockeys' event at this track (1m4f) last month; has possibilities if he can recapture that form and he's effective at up to 2m; reapplied blinkers replace a visor. |

22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 5y Class 6 |

0-17 and he blows hot and cold but there have been some good runs in defeat on AW this year; finished behind Havachoc at Wolverhampton two weeks ago and may do so again. |

Regressive maiden who's been running over further in recent times, latterly when below market expectations over 1m6f here; capable off this mark under Daniel Perrin, who's taking his first ride under rules. |
