21st Mar 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
High-class sprinter on turf and AW; his two C&D wins have both been mighty performances and there is no doubt he has the raw ability to give the weight away to today's opponents; sadly he has become a nightmare at the start, refusing to race in three of his last five runs; can't be supported with confidence; stable run four here. |

28th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
High-class sprinter on his day and he has tasted defeat in just one of his four runs on AW; fine effort to beat Marshman in a Listed race here in February and third in a Newmarket Group 3 next time; no doubt he has the ability to win a race of this nature but he is increasingly troublesome at the start and he has refused to race twice this summer; capable but too much risk attached to recommend. |

25th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 37y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Close third in Listed company at Wolverhampton last month on his first attempt at 7f and he wasn't beaten for a lack of stamina; not at his best in a hot sprint handicap at Newcastle on Good Friday; no surprise to see him bounce back with a big run. |
10/1 |
|
8th 5 (9) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Did well in early 2025 on AW, winning a C&D handicap in good style and following up in Listed company at Lingfield; finished third in the corresponding race 12 months ago when rated 5lb higher; running himself back into form this winter, most recently a close third over 7f four weeks ago, and he looks primed to give Clifford Lee a winning return to the saddle. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 4 (6) |
7th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Strong AW form in the first half of 2025; awkward leaving the stalls in his two runs this winter and the form has been well short of his best; steps up to 7f for the first time. |

16th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 7f 0y |
9st 12lb |
Five course wins at 5f-1m, gained another October win over 5f in 2025; well below best at Laytown but better effort over 5f here since; back up in trip here. |
12/1 |
|
5th 3 (1) |
2nd Oct 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y |
9st 12lb |
Five course wins at 5f-1m, including this contest in 2024; gained another October win over C&D in 2025; hasn't won since bolting up over C&D in February; well below best at Laytown when last seen but dangerous to discount. |

7th 1 (3) |
10th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 0y |

Five wins at Dundalk at 5f-1m but form has dipped since his win over 5f there in February; beaten 4.75l in a 6f handicap there on latest off 100 (RPR 94); 19lb lower here so dangerous to discount. |

5th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
8st 12lb |
Four-time AW winner who is 1-29 on turf, but he's on a much lower mark in this sphere and didn't get the breaks when a close fifth at Hamilton (5f, good) last month; has claims if he can back that up and this return to 6f is a positive. |
12/1 |
|
6th 13 (14) |
1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
He is a better horse on AW than turf; a much lower mark in this sphere reflects that but his 1-28 record on the grass doesn't mark him down as the likely winner of this. |

3rd Oct 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Prolific AW winner whose offputting 0-21 strike-rate on turf doesn't do him anywhere near justice, as he's finished in the frame many times in Group sprints, including on this track; not far away in a Group 3 at Newbury recently and he could go well at a price now back at 6f. |
25/1 |
|
3rd 1 (8) |
19th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 34y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Ten-time AW winner; has comparable form on turf, including in Group 3 races at Newbury, and holds place claims on the figures in this field; harder to make first choice, being 0-20 in this sphere. |

26th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Winless since June 2024 but he resumed from a 12-week break with a good third of ten in 5f handicap at Doncaster 13 days ago; this veteran must enter calculations nudged up 1lb. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 3 (8) |
13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
8yo who wasn't beaten far in seventh of nine at Pontefract (5f, good) in June, following a break; back from another 84 days off today but he has some good course form and is not ruled out off a handy mark. |
8/1 |

7th 2 (7) |
21st Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 4 |

Absent since running respectably when favourite for AW contest in January; on a two-year losing spell but is attractively treated off his lower mark back on turf; further market support should be noted. |

Record of 4-22 on AW; no win since 2023 but has consistent handicap form this winter, going close on a few occasions, and faced a stiff task at Listed level last time; fighting chance off current mark. |

Useful in his prime (won the Dash and an Irish Listed race in 2022), but far more miss than hit in recent times and soundly beaten on belated reappearance last week; best watched. |
33/1 |

9th 6 (6) |
26th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
A winner first time out three times in previous seasons but he's getting on now and has been absent for a year; has a bit to overcome then, especially as he looked on the downgrade last season and has only run twice on the AW. |
25/1 |

27th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Capable 5f performer on his day but has not made the frame in six runs this year; a slow start meant he couldn't adopt his usual front-running tactics at York five weeks ago, and his mark is tumbling, but he's risky. |

Useful sprint handicapper on turf; sprung a 66-1 shock when beating Powerful National in a 5f Group 3 race at Dundalk last October; no sign of anything remotely comparable in four runs since February. |

7th 2 (3) |
7th Jun 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y |

Three turf wins including over C&D last September and biggest win came following month in Dundalk Group 3; yet to hit that sort of form in three starts this year in Listed contests; back in handicap company now. |
