23rd Sep 2025 Heavy 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
10st 3lb |
Recorded his sixth victory of the year with a career-best effort in 5.4f handicap at York 16 days ago; he's also a winner in the mud so must enter calculations once more. |
5/1 |

7th Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 89y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
He has enjoyed a fine season, winning five handicaps, and he ran another sound race when fourth in the Great St Wilfrid at Ripon three weeks ago; this intermediate trip should suit and he's versatile where the going is concerned; likely to run well but might find a few better treated. |
10/1 |

16th Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
He's enjoyed a fine year and although he's come unstuck on his last two starts, he did too much early at York and then raced up the middle in the Stewards' Cup; earlier Ascot win off just 2lb lower was a fine effort; first visit to Ripon but he has won on the undulations at Epsom; drawn against the rail and a big run would seem likely. |

Four wins for William Muir and Chris Grassick; winless for current yard last year and has dropped to a career-low mark on first run for 209 days; may be best watched this time. |

30th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has won four times from 7f-1m (AW/turf); runner-up at Doncaster (7f, good; first-time tongue-tie) in March off a mark 10lb higher than today but he's mostly struggled since; returns to 1m and drops in grade with the cheekpieces back on and tongue-tie removed. |

9st 5lb |
Three-time winner on the AW over 7f and he ran well despite not really settling when second of 16 at Doncaster (7f, good to soft) 23 days ago; that was just his third go on the grass and he can remain competitive. |
6/1 |

2nd 9 (10) |
29th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |

Three-time AW winner, most recently in February; two attempts on turf include a good effort (close third off 1lb higher) in a division of this contest 12 months ago; again has place claims. |
13/2 |

3rd 1 (3) |
21st Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Seemingly boosted by first-time visor when coming from off the pace to score at Wolverhampton (7f) last month; not in same form on latest outing and not one to rely upon heavily but probably still on a good mark. |

9st 8lb |
Lightly raced 5yo; ran well with blinkers added when close fourth at Doncaster (7f, good) in March but he's been disappointing in both subsequent runs; still unexposed on turf but his profile is patchy and others are more convincing; first-time visor replaces blinkers. |
12/1 |

16th May 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Lightly raced 5yo who was a close fourth of 15 in first-time blinkers (retained since) at Doncaster (7f, good) in March; however, beaten a long way out at Newmarket (1m good) since, and hard to be confident after that. |

20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
2-17 on turf for Tim Easterby; well held switched to AW on first three runs for current yard but he raised his game with a solid third over C&D two weeks ago; ties in with Influential on that form and has claims if he can build on that. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 1 (3) |
4th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

8/1 |

10th 17 (11) |
24th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Good record here with three wins including a division of this (soft; acts on good/good to firm) in 2024; cashed in on reduced mark to open AW account over 7f in November and just 1lb higher on this return to turf after three months away; possibilities. |

8st 11lb |
The oldest contender and a familiar face, having taken part in this race for the last four years (form figures read 6529); beat all bar Eldrickjones over C&D last month but the return to this better grade presents a tougher task. |
16/1 |

2nd 10 (5) |
11th May 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 3 |

Four-time C&D winner, including this race in 2021; second in it last year; has continued in good form in the main since winning over C&D last November (didn't run badly at Doncaster latest) and is on the shortlist now back here. |

20th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |

9th 8 (8) |
21st Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
It has been a disappointing campaign in 2025 but his one visit to this track saw him finish third off a 10lb higher mark in May; latest Chelmsford sixth (blinkered first time), where he was poorly positioned and came wide in the straight, was more encouraging than the bare figures, running the final 2f faster than all bar the cosy winner (just 0.02s slower at that); more appealing than most. |

More modest runs than good ones in 2025 but he did bolt up at Doncaster last June (6f, good to firm) and he is 4lb lower now; needs to leave his reappearance effort well behind him and he has finished down the field in his two visits here. |

Now 5lb lower than when dominating from the front at Musselburgh (7f, good) just over a year ago but slow starts have become an issue in the meantime, and she was always behind when 33-1 for last month's reappearance run; looks risky back at 6f. |

Quickly coaxed back to form by James Owen last year, winning 6f handicaps at Kempton (twice) and Chester; struggled on dirt in the Middle East over the winter but his mark dropped quickly and he ran well back on turf in Abu Dhabi in March; returned to Britain with an emphatic success at Leicester (6f, good to firm) eight days ago; today's 8lb higher mark should still be in range but the drop to 5f is a slight query. |
