One win (C&D) and three second-place finishes in six AW starts since October; front-running second, beaten a nose, over 8.6f here four weeks ago; in the mix again. |

2nd 3 (1) |
2nd Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Won over C&D in 2023 but better known as a 7f performer now; safely held over that trip here on last two appearances and needs to up his game. |

7th 2 (2) |
19th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Won over C&D in October before a good second at Southwell the following month; no impact after a slow start here on Boxing Day but that was against a pace bias and he still looks on a workable mark; dangerous if he can bounce back. |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Behind on his only run here (2023); Doncaster last June saw his only turf win since 2021, amidst plenty of AW success admittedly but he was out of form in February when last seen; has a competitive mark but other cases look a bit more solid, particularly as he's drawn wide. |
33/1 |

4th 2 (3) |
13th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 4 |

Six-time course winner, most recently off 2lb lower in December; finished an aggregate of almost 3l behind Diamondonthehill in two subsequent starts; that solid rival seems to have the upper hand. |

1st Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Three AW wins, the latest over C&D in December; went through a quiet spell since his most recent 7f run here (in January) but fared better back over C&D in May when going close off a reduced mark; bang there. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 6 (6) |
8th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

Not at his best of late, but has dropped 8lb lower than when successful over C&D in January; needs a resurgence, but is too well handicapped to ignore. |
20/1 |
|
7th 3 (3) |
6th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Kept on well to score over 7f here (10-1; from 5lb higher) in December; form has dipped since February, slowly away, failing to beat a single rival at Newcastle (1m) just over a fortnight ago; needs to rediscover a spark. |

19th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
All three wins on AW; decent third at Southwell (1m, AW) last month but unable to back that up returning to turf when 14th of 16 at Doncaster (7f, good to firm); seems better on AW. |
9/1 |
|
14th 13 (10) |
24th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Three wins (7f/1m, all AW) and it was a good effort when third in Southwell series final (1m, AW) 17 days ago; having a rare foray on grass but did finish second in good-ground Chester handicap (6f) in September; not dismissed from his lower turf mark. |
6/1 |

3rd 11 (3) |

25th Jan 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 4 |

Into the veteran stage of his career; not the force of old but he's falling in the weights and he wasn't disgraced when sixth of 11 at Southwell five weeks ago; impossible to discount. |

Retains plenty of vitality despite his advancing years; however, form dipped last time when bidding for a Chelmsford double; gained the most recent win in a lower grade. |

16th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Triple C&D winner who took advantage of a reduced mark when coming from rear to score at Brighton (7f, good) in August; remains well treated on old form but his spark was missing at Kempton last time and he needs to step up again after that. |

3rd Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Eight-time winner on AW and 0-24 on turf but he went very close off his lower turf mark at Nottingham (8.5f, good to firm) one week ago; same mark here and must have claims in search of his turf breakthrough. |
15/8 |
|
2nd 1 (3) |
26th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 75y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Last nine starts on AW; ended a losing run when scoring at Lingfield (1m) in December but that set up for his closing style and he's not really threatened in four runs since, latterly at Kempton (7f) 113 days ago; can race off his lower turf mark today but others are more persuasive. |

20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Eight-time AW winner who has finished placed over C&D in his last two starts; drawn out wide this time but he's tactically versatile and remains feasibly treated off his last winning mark; in the mix. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 10 (3) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Has done most of his winning over 7f, most recently off current mark at Kempton in January; however, posted best effort since when keeping-on third over C&D last time; fighting chance. |

3rd 5 (5) |

23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Now 11lb lower than when successful for David O'Meara last autumn but has lost his way; it's a long time since he won on turf and even longer since he ran in a sprint, so he is hard to fancy back from a break. |
33/1 |

8th 2 (4) |
3rd Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
8lb lower than when successful for David O'Meara over C&D in October, but has lost his way including in five starts for this yard; drops into a Class 6 for the first time in his career, but has plenty to prove; cheekpieces return. |
25/1 |
|
7th 10 (7) |
12th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Yet to offer much in four runs for his current yard, just eighth of 11 in 7f Kempton handicap 24 days ago; significantly more is required from this three-time C&D winner. |

9st 9lb |
Multiple wins include four over C&D; his losing AW run goes back two years but he's on a handy mark now and showed he can make it pay when close up at Bath (1m) recently after getting checked in his run; blinkers return and Oisin Murphy rides for the first time; can be involved. |

27th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |
