Saturday 9 May 2026 Leicester

40-1 for her recent Leicester debut (5f, good to firm), a race where she was hampered at the start before failing to threaten; needs to leave that well behind.

25,000 guineas yearling; half-brother to three winners, notably Alashar (French Listed 7f; RPR 101); dam, 6f-1m winner (Group 3; RPR 112), is out of a 1m Listed winner/1,000 Guineas third; this Minzaal colt needs considering.

Sent off 7-2 but very green when a never-dangerous sixth of eight in novice at Pontefract (5f, good) 18 days ago, running on late; this son of Naval Crown looks the sort to do a fair bit better now; not without interest.

15-8, encouraging debut fourth of 12 in C&D maiden (good to firm) two weeks ago, leading long way; this son of A'ali seems sure to improve.

3,000 guineas yearling; Kameko filly; dam unraced half-sister to winners Kilmah (7f Group 3) and Tears Of The Sun (useful 1m-1m4f); the betting can prove an accurate indicator.

Well held in 5f Bath novice and maiden over C&D last month; she needs to take a major step forward.

15,500gns late April foal, 20,000euros yearling; by Ardad; 22-1 and no real impact when seventh of nine at Leicester (5f, good to firm) on her debut a fortnight ago; goes up in trip for this second start.

10-1 and green, shaped well when a debut second of seven in novice at Ripon (6f, good) two weeks ago, nearest finish; this daughter of Bungle Inthejungle is a likely player with more to come.

Inclined to pull hard on comeback and was said to have hung right last time, both round undulating courses (7f); has shown enough ability to suggest he can be a factor now handicapping at a sensible level though.

Huge odds and no immediate promise in two starts at Leicester (6f/7f) this spring.

Well-connected colt; easy to back for recent Leicester debut (7f; 13-2) where he raced freely/erratically and had no answer to a more experienced rival in the closing stages; the bare form puts him in the picture and he should know more this time.

Kingman colt who has shaped well on both his runs, runner-up in C&D novice last month; can do better still so he's one to consider.

Two promising runs as a juvenile, at 7f and about 1m, but they were on good to soft and soft ground and he may have been feeling the good to firm surface when hanging under pressure on his Leicester return; should be capable of much better; cheekpieces fitted.

25-1, never-dangerous eighth of 11 in 7f Kempton novice on her debut in December; needs to take a big step forward.

66-1, last of ten in maiden at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) on her debut two weeks ago; significantly more is required.

Well held in a pair of 6f maidens at Haydock and here last July; has plenty to prove after nine months off.

Has won on a range of surfaces but two 6f wins in 2025 came on good to firm and he was racing on that surface for the first time since when winning at Thirsk last week; back up 3lb and has another good run in him.

Done the bulk of his winning on AW (6-26), but one of his two turf wins came over C&D (from 8lb lower) in August 2024; in fine fettle, with form figures of 322, since returning to turf, beaten just over 2l by Mumayaz at Leicester (6f, good to firm) latest; should give his best.

He has a much better strike-rate on AW than turf and was well beaten over C&D last time; however, prior to that he was second of six at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm) and is not written off today.

Unraced here; all three wins have been over about 7f, the latest at Leicester last month; 6f probably explains a lesser show last time and he has a chance judged on peak efforts.

Four-time AW winner; consistent and is one to consider in a race that may set up for him

Low-mileage 4yo who posted his best effort when second of five in 1m6f handicap at Southwell 16 days ago; can't be ruled out on his turf debut nudged up 1lb.

Odds-on winner over nearly 1m4f at Yarmouth (good) last month and ran okay on faster ground at Leicester (both runs in a visor); he's been found a very winnable race for his hurdle debut.

Reliable sort who comes here on the back of a good second of five in 1m2f handicap at Nottingham 13 days ago; this longer trip promises to suit so she's a player in her bid for a breakthrough success.

Won two handicaps last July (1m4f, good and 1m6f, firm); he has finished second in two of his three runs this year, latterly beaten a short-head at Leicester 11 days ago (1m4f, good to firm); had just one run on slower than good and finished well beaten, so conditions may be a concern.

Bagged a hat-trick (including over C&D) last summer and he signed off for 2025 with a solid third in 1m6f Wolverhampton handicap in October; has won off a break too.

Confirmed earlier promise when readily getting off the mark in 7f Doncaster handicap a week ago; hiked up 9lb but remains low mileage and merits serious consideration for his in-form stable.

On a losing run but she got back on track when second of seven over C&D last month; this C&D winner can't be discounted nudged up 1lb.

Some good form this spring prior to winning at Musselburgh (7f, good) last month; flopped at Leicester (7f, good to firm) 11 days ago but he shouldn't be written off today.

Is 0-9 but he comes here in decent nick, fifth of nine in 6f handicap here 26 days ago; in the mix back up to 7f now.

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.

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.

Resumed winning ways in 7f Southwell handicap in April but he beat only two home back there eight days later; this C&D scorer needs to bounce back.

Very pleasing return from 275-day break at Leicester this month; lacked a change of gear at Newmarket (also 7f) subsequently and returning to 1m looks in his favour; draw hasn't been kind, though.

Just 1-20 on turf and below par at Lingfield (7f, good) last Tuesday, but prior to that he finished close-up twice in a row here (6f/7f, good to firm) and he can be bang there if leaving last time behind.

Consistent mare who signed off for Mark Loughnane with a solid third in 9.4f Wolverhampton handicap in October; has gone well fresh so not out of things for her new yard.

Son of Teofilo who cut little ice in a trio of runs in 2025, seventh in 1m Lingfield maiden in September; lots more is needed on his return/handicap debut.

Has regressed on the Flat since winning small-field Bath handicap for another stable a year ago; made fairly encouraging hurdle debut when keeping on for modest third at Plumpton (2m, good) last month but needs to build on that performance here and has since refused to race on the Flat.

Without a victory since 2023; off 21 months before a never-dangerous seventh of ten in 9.5f Wolverhampton handicap last month; she needs to take a major step forward.

Just two wins from 30 starts but her last success was by 4l over C&D (firm) last month and she backed that up with a close third at Leicester (1m2f, good to firm); on same mark as last time and she should be in the thick of things again.

Scored over hurdles at Stratford last May but below par on the AW over the winter, beating just one home in 1m2f handicap at Chelmsford in February; more is required after a break in a change of headgear.

Sole win over 1m at Brighton last June; running well for new yard and although he hasn't shone over this far in two previous attempts he kept on quite well when a close fourth over 1m2f here last time; not ruled out.

Fair ex-Irish 1m1f winner; arrives in good nick for his current yard, fourth of ten in 1m Nottingham handicap three weeks ago; not dismissed from an easing mark.

Finally got off the mark at Lingfield (1m2f, good) and has continued in good form in the main since, narrowly winning over this C&D (good to firm) last time; just 1lb higher today and he's high on the list.

Yet to offer much in his seven runs to date, sixth of nine in 9.5f Wolverhampton handicap 30 days ago; not easy to warm to.

Is 0-17 and she beat just one home in 1m4f classified event at Lingfield last time

His last win was 13 months ago but he's run two promising races for James Owen this spring and was beaten less than 2l when sixth at Leicester (1m, good to firm; 9-2) last time; remains well handicapped on his old form and he shouldn't be far away.

0-9 since debut win at Salisbury in July 2024 and untested at 1m2f, but he's dropped down the weights and was a very close fourth here (1m, good to firm) last time; could be in the mix if seeing out the trip.

Placed twice since dropped back to 1m last month, more recently when very close third (just behind The Sweet Escape) at Leicester (1m, good to firm) nine days ago; competes off same mark here; big player if new cheekpieces have any positive effect.

Won two of his last five starts (with and without headgear), scrambling home at Leicester (1m, good to firm) 18 days ago; a 2lb rise not excessive and he has a good strike-rate for one of his rating; chance.

On a losing sequence but she really caught the eye when a running-on third of 14 in 1m2f handicap here two weeks ago; up 2lb but very much one to consider.

Battled well for narrow win at Nottingham (8.3f, good) last month and probably bettered that performance when very close second at Leicester (1m, good to firm) nine days ago; respected in current form.

A dual 1m2f scorer in 2025; back to form when third of nine in 1m Pontefract handicap ten days ago so ought to be thereabouts eased 1lb.

It's now 17 outings since his last success but he arrives on the back of a respectable sixth of 11 in 1m Newcastle handicap last month; easing in the weights and no forlorn hope.

Back from five months off in good form, set a lot to do and nearest at the finish when second of 14 in 1m Bath handicap last month; she can go well again.
