9st 7lb |
Won four times last term but he hasn't added to that haul since scoring at Windsor (1m, good to firm) around a year ago; did go close under Laura Pearson at Redcar (6f) off this mark in May, however, and wasn't beaten far when sixth in Newmarket handicap (7f) last time; sole previous attempt in this headgear was inconclusive (didn't stay 1m2f). |

19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Said to have run flat last time; tended to respond well to switches/removal of headgear in the past (back to cheekpieces from blinkers tonight) and won't mind coming back up from sprint trips, but Pontefract will need forgiving. |

Multiple 7f-8.5f winner who fared better than seemed likely when dropped to 6f at Redcar (good to firm; half-length second) last week; fighting chance off same mark. |

22nd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
The most recent of her six wins came at Doncaster (7f, good) in June and she ran well when third of 12 there last month; below her best on her last two starts but this C&D winner has each-way claims back on AW. |

Inconsistent of late but her Doncaster form features wins in 2024/2026 and a creditable placed effort on penultimate outing; could go well returned to this venue. |

15th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 5 |

A dual 1m winner last autumn; yet to add to that this season and has hindered his cause with very slow starts in 1m handicaps at York and Newcastle on his last two runs; others appeal more. |
14/1 |

7th 4 (4) |
2nd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Dual C&D winner (from lower marks) last autumn; couldn't sustain challenge when third at Redcar (1m, good to firm; 28-1) on penultimate start; lost many lengths at the start, toiling in competitive Class 4 at York latest; task isn't insurmountable. |

Falling in the weights and ran respectably when third to Rajapour at Redcar on Sunday, but the winner bolted up that day and it's hard to see the tables being turned. |

Four-time AW winner at 7f/1m for Jennie Candlish with his last win coming at Southwell off 70 in August; not at the same level since, but the best of three runs for this yard came last time here over 5f when 3l behind the winner; into 0-60 company now and returns to winning distance. |

10st 0lb |
Ayr winner in July (1m, good to firm) and solid runs since then off today's 5lb higher mark, finishing just ahead of Milteye (Walsingham further back) on his return to Ayr and then beating all bar a Prescott 3yo on the AW; hard to knock. |

Better than ever on last two starts when winning comfortably at Ayr (1m2f, good to soft) and a close third at Goodwood (1m2f, soft); ground firmer than good would be a concern. |

C&D win number three came off 3lb higher in January; hasn't threatened in four runs since, including in this headgear combination last time; has no great record fresh. |

18th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 212y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Handles most ground but his two turf wins have on soft and good to soft; last success was off 1lb higher on Polytrack in January but he's been out of sorts since then and was never involved at Doncaster three weeks ago; cheekpieces are now added and he needs to get back on track. |

Two good runs (both wins) and two poor runs; surprise 50-1 winner on turf debut last time (1m at Windsor, good to firm) and was trying more new headgear there (cheekpieces); remains to be seen whether he'll be as good again. |

15-race maiden who has been performing respectably in 1m handicaps this winter without strongly suggesting his turn is near; today's longer trip needs to help him pull out a bit more. |

11th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |

31st Jan 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |

0-13 but he's on a reduced mark and was an eyecatching third behind Trais Fluors over C&D four weeks ago; that was only his fourth run on AW and has possibilities if he can back that up. |

Last win came on soft at Doncaster (7f; from 23lb higher) in July 2024; knocking at the door this year, beaten a neck at Nottingham (1m2f) and Yarmouth (11.5f); hung left when third in a 1m2f Ffos Las classified (100-30) latest. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

Without a win since summer 2024 and nothing like the force of old but placed in this grade on last three appearances; drops back in trip after looking stretched by 1m4f last time; ought to be right in the thick of things. |
9/2 |

3rd 1 (1) |
11th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Unraced beyond an extended 1m on the AW, but neck defeats at Nottingham (1m2f, good to firm) and at Yarmouth (11.5f, good to firm) in her last two starts suggest this trip should be within range on a sharp track; high on list. |
