9th Jun 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
All three wins came on the AW when trained by Kevin Philippart De Foy but he's twice been placed on turf since joining this stable, including on soft; well held at Pontefract (6f, good) in April but may have needed that first start for 194 days. |
10/1 |

21st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

A three-time 7f winner for Kevin Philippart de Foy in 2024; largely in good form for his current yard last term so he's no forlorn hope on his return. |

23rd Jun 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Missed 2025 and hasn't kicked on from an encouraging return on the AW, last time finishing tailed off on soft. |

6th Jun 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Missed 2025; failed to back up reappearance effort last time, kept to Kempton AW; effective on turf in the past but hasn't raced in this sphere for over two years. |

11th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 42y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
All three wins have come over 6f on the AW including two in April; handles turf, but he has a fair bit to find with Neyva's Angel on their meeting here (6f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; he too may be better over further. |
13/2 |

4th 7 (3) |
28th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Quickly clicked into gear for this yard with an eyeshield fitted, scoring twice on AW in April before close second at Lingfield (also 6f, good) last Monday; due for a 1lb nudge in future and he can't be ignored. |

9th Jun 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
All four wins have been on the AW but he does act on turf; beaten 4l when second of five at Lingfield (6f, good to firm) ten days ago but soft ground would be a slight concern. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 3 (3) |
30th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Consistent gelding who's usually ridden from off the pace; no obvious reason why he won't go well once more, back over an easier 6f, returning from a short break. |

Win here last August (6f) came off 2lb lower; several good runs this year, including in a big field at Ascot four weeks ago, but others look stronger for win purposes. |
10/1 |
|
5th 19 (19) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Chance on this winter's AW best but he failed to fire back on turf at Goodwood last week (5f); return to 6f can help but others are stronger. |

7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
8st 8lb |
14-race maiden; no impact in his two runs this year (following a wind operation) and the addition of cheekpieces isn't enough to tempt. |
12/1 |
|
11th 5 (10) |
20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
13-race maiden who can miss the break and he returned after wind surgery with a laboured effort over C&D (17-2) two weeks ago; finished behind three of today's rivals in that race and he needs to leave that form behind. |

1st Jun 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Three wins, and most racing, come over 7f, including when making all on his second start for this yard on Polytrack off 6lb higher in the winter; not at his best lately and, while well drawn, may not get his own way as he likes back down in trip. |
16/1 |
|
7th 6 (7) |
20th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Made all to win a 7f AW handicap at Lingfield in December, his second start for Mark Loughnane; in and out since that success but no doubt he is handicapped to go well and he has run well over C&D in the past (including finishing second in this race year off 4lb higher); one to consider with Billy Loughnane back in the saddle. |

1st Jun 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Enjoying a consistent year, winning twice from the front at Kempton since the blinkers went on (doesn't have to lead); nothing wrong with his clear second at Southwell a month ago and holds decent claims despite a further 2lb rise. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 1 (2) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Got the better of a rival who has won twice since when scoring at Kempton three weeks ago (6f); not in the same form at Nottingham last time but it was 5f and he had an inexperienced apprentice on board; high on the list back at 6f and returned to AW. |

30th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Made all to win a 6f novice at Leicester last summer and a return to positive tactics saw him return to form when third at Newcastle two weeks ago (6f); P J McDonald replaces a 7lb claimer; easy lead seems unlikely in this field, however. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 7 (4) |
16th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Low-mileage 4yo who has one standout performance, namely a novice win on turf last July; still needs to prove he's capable of repeating that form. |

23rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
He's on a competitive mark on last October's good AW form but he went off the boil subsequently and this is his first start since January; unproven on turf; needs to get back on track. |
10/1 |
|
5th 4 (5) |
15th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Back to winning ways at Southwell last October, his second run for this yard, when coming from off the pace to win a 6f Class 6 in good style; runner-up at Wolverhampton two days later but two runs since haven't been quite so good; others appeal more. |

9st 9lb |
C&D winner who came close to ending a losing AW run when a fast-closing runner-up here (5f) in March (5f); returns to this C&D for the first time since and ought to go well if the race falls his way. |
7/2 |
|
7th 5 (4) |
11th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |

More prolific on AW than turf; arrives on the back of a solid third at Lingfield two weeks ago (6f, AW); each-way shout. |

4th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Both handicap wins on turf at Chester (5f and 6f); no great shakes on this track for new yard since November but he's dropped 9lb in that time and there was the glimmer of a revival here last time when back from a break; not ruled out. |
12/1 |
|
6th 1 (4) |
20th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Three turf wins at 5f and 6f, the latest off this mark in September; big prices and well held in four sprints here for new yard and, although this is a drop in grade, he may be best left until back on grass. |
14/1 |
