19th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
6.5f 2yo maiden winner (heavy) who has posted respectable efforts the last twice, most recently fourth of five in Sandown handicap (7f, good to firm) where his momentum was checked over 1f out; might not be far away. |
5/1 |

14th Jun 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
6.5f winner as a 2yo; ran creditably in the face of a difficult task at Salisbury (1m) last time behind Stanhope Gardens who subsequently ran well in the Derby; this should be more realistic. |

23rd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Returned to form to win over here over 7f a week ago, beating six rivals; a 5lb penalty still leaves him on a handy mark based on last year's form and he's relatively unexposed on the AW; contender with the step back up to 1m no concern. |
3/1 |

6 (5) |
16th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
On a reduced mark but he's been well held in his last five runs and is now 0-17 since his last win in August 2024; withdrawn after refusing to enter the stalls at Kempton last week, but he was 7-2 at the time. |
11/2 |

10th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

On a reduced mark but he's not been on top form in 2025; drops back down in grade today but others are more appealing for win purposes. |

4th Feb 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Responded well to first-time cheekpieces in C&D event when last seen two months ago, taking AW record to 541; may show further progress in the retained headgear; respected. |
7/2 |

20th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Yet to win this season but has posted some good efforts, most recently when fourth (just behind Golden Redemption) at Newbury (7f, good) last month; should be fine back at 6f; each-way claims at least. |
6/1 |

28th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Won a Bath maiden (5.7f, firm) last June; 0-7 in handicaps since but it was a solid run when second of nine over C&D (good) a fortnight ago; chance off the same mark. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Below par on AW last autumn on final two runs for Stuart Williams; however, he twice went close on the other Newmarket course (6f, good to firm) last August and he'll be bang there if rediscovering that form on his stable and seasonal debut, for which he wears a tongue-tie; remains in same ownership. |
14/1 |

16th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
C&D winner on debut 12 months ago; maintained his unbeaten record when winning a Windsor novice on his return in May; 0-6 in handicaps since but he was second twice at Newmarket in August and he didn't get a clear run at things at Kempton three weeks ago; one to consider. |
7/1 |

24th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Won on debut at Chelmsford in October (his sole start on AW) and followed up under a penalty at Windsor 214 days later; nothing wrong with his last two runs and looks worth another go over this longer trip of 7f. |

1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Has generally been consistent this year, winning for the first time on turf at Musselburgh (7f, good) in April; recorded a rare blip at Leicester last month but back on track when runner-up at Ayr (7f, good to firm) 12 days ago; respected. |

20th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Some good form this spring prior to winning at Musselburgh (7f, good) last month; flopped at Leicester (7f, good to firm) 11 days ago but he shouldn't be written off today. |
13/2 |

8th 4 (4) |
9th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Gained a deserved victory in 7f Musselburgh handicap ten days ago; up 2lb but this consistent front-runner ought to be in the shake-up again. |

19th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Two wins (6.5f/7f) in Qatar in February but he's failed to shine in his three British starts since May, most recently at Windsor on Monday. |

14th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Two wins (6.5f/7f) in Qatar in February and runner-up there over 10.5f in April; switched to Britain for two races this summer, not disgraced at 100-1 under Ashley Lewis at Royal Ascot (5f, good to firm) on latest, although only 17th of 24; lacks solid claims but this is a big drop in class. |
9/1 |

20th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Two wins over further in Qatar this year and also ran well over an extended 1m2f in April; tailed off in a 1m Listed event at Sandown (first British attempt) three weeks ago; hard to recommend now dropped markedly in trip. |
