9th Jul 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Won over C&D in January on second handicap start and ran well in defeat the next twice, most recently fourth of 14 at Lingfield (2m, AW) in April in first-time cheekpieces (retained); this lightly raced 4yo could still have more to offer and he's a contender if fully tuned up after a break. |

Lightly raced 4yo who has improved since handicapping, including a narrow success at Kempton (2m, Polytrack) in January; cheekpieces now given a go and he may still have more to offer. |

Absent since finishing 5l behind Caprelo here in May; may put up a better fight in the rematch, having been fresh when gamely making all over C&D earlier in the spring. |

28th May 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Having his second start back from wind surgery when making all and just holding on over C&D last month (first two clear); has since finished fourth of eight in a slightly better race at Ascot (2m, good to firm); respected, especially if again allowed an uncontested lead. |

18th Nov 2025 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Three AW wins, the most recent off 7lb higher over C&D in August 2024; inconsistent since but is attractively treated and Jack Callan takes off a bonus 5lb; good chance if back to form. |
10/1 |
|
6th 1 (5) |
11th Sep 2025 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Prominent racer who won three times on AW last year, including over this C&D in August off a mark 5lb higher than today; beaten 20l here in February and was again well beaten at Kempton when last seen 92 days ago. |
10/1 |

11th Jun 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Prominent racer who won three times on AW last year and first two were over C&D; flopped with a heavy defeat at Newcastle in February but he finished a close third here (2m) on his penultimate run and is a big player if he can recapture that form; in the mix back from a break. |

20th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 0y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
A nine-time Flat winner over 1m6f-2m, he made a pleasing hurdles debut when third of five finishers (with stablemate Alex The Great 27l back) in a Hereford maiden (2m, good) 15 days ago; steps up in trip and holds place claims. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 6 |
5th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 53y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Hurdles debutant who is a nine-time AW winner at 1m6f/2m, most recently in March; one of the better contenders in terms of achievements but an unconvincing turf record leaves him with something to prove. |
11/2 |
|
6th 7 (7) |
17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 2m 1f 24y Class 5 |
8st 4lb |
Got back on the scoresheet at Lingfield (2m, AW) last month and he ran to a similar level when fourth at Wolverhampton (1m6f) 11 days ago; on lower mark back on turf but he's struggled in his six runs in this sphere including three 2m handicaps; risks attached. |

7th Jan 2025 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Won twice last year and is 2lb lower than when successful at Nottingham (1m6f, good to firm) in June; met late interference when beating one home over C&D 11 days ago (Green Team second); capable of playing a part at this level granted a clearer run. |

9st 6lb |
0-17 on AW but he returned to form with a staying-on third here (1m6f) last month; now drops back in trip but he's 1lb lower than last time and has possibilities if this sets up for his closing style; visor reapplied. |
9/2 |

20th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 6 |

On losing run and 0-16 on AW, unable to justify favouritism at Chelmsford 12 days ago; another 2lb lower today and too much ability to discount. |

All four wins have come on Wolverhampton AW, the latest off this mark last August (1m4f); absent since November and 0-21 on turf but that includes six seconds, one of those behind Amancio in this race last year after a break (3lb higher today); has to be in each-way calculations. |
