13th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Picked up for 4,000gns from the Hannon yard last autumn after breaking a blood-vessel for the second time in four runs; not much luck and maybe fresh is the time to catch him, going in a first-time hood, but the stiff 6f is a concern (most starts at 5f). |

2nd Sep 2025 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Travelled well but found little for pressure here 11 days ago (5f, good); that was after three months off and he lurks on a dangerous mark; fine on soft. |

22nd Aug 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Quirky customer who signalled a return to form when keeping-on third at Windsor (5f, good to firm) when last seen in May; on a dangerous mark. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 16y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Largely consistent 6yo who gained last season's win at Bath (5.7f, good to firm) in September; subsequent defeat on heavy ground there can be overlooked but he makes his reappearance from a fairly tough mark. |
10/1 |
|
8th 3 (5) |
20th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Improved his turf strike-rate to 7-26 when beating 13 rivals over C&D (good to firm) last month; that was a narrow success but he's been as good as ever since a visor has been added and is versatile ground-wise; big player again up 3lb. |
7/2 |

1st 4 (9) |
30th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
His knocks on the door are getting louder and just failed to land a 14-runner Leicester handicap (6f, good to soft) eight days ago; big player on that although he disappointed on good to firm in July when said to prefer a slower surface. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 16y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
Yet to build upon his pleasing seasonal debut in April, but didn't run badly when third of six over C&D (good to soft) eight days ago; 1lb lower now and Ashley Lewis claims his useful 5lb; considered. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 6 (2) |
21st May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 16y Class 4 |
8st 4lb |
C&D (good to soft) winner in August 2024 who won at Lingfield (good to firm) and Ffos Las (again 5f, good) last year; couldn't repeat his win in that Lingfield event 12 days ago and this looks a warmer race than the ones he regularly contests; still not dismissed. |
7/1 |
|
5th 5 (4) |
9th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 4f 217y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Turned in an excellent effort when winning the corresponding race from stall 1 (14 ran) last May, flying out of the stalls and able to get to the stands' rail after one furlong; also won at Ffos Las in July and both victories were achieved off a higher mark than today's; not at best last time but his reappearance had been encouraging; should make a bold bid. |

9st 9lb |
11-race maiden who has struggled in four runs for current yard including when ninth of 11 over C&D last time; has lots to prove and he's untried on slow ground. |

18th May 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Won off this mark at Yarmouth (5f, good to soft) last October but hasn't got going in four runs this year, beating only one rival; needs to show more. |
16/1 |

4th May 2026 Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
C&D winner; had a good time of things in 2025, winning four times; she has finished last in her three AW runs this year and has only dropped 3lb; may need some more help from the handicapper. |
20/1 |

7th 4 (1) |
21st Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won at her beloved Yarmouth (5f, good to soft; from 4lb lower) last October; hasn't been at her best since returning to AW recently; this is a fraction easier and she could strip fitter but others are more appealing. |

1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 34y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Better strike-rate on turf than AW; solid third at Windsor three weeks ago (for Chloe Lyons) and has a chance if in the same form; finished behind a couple of today's rivals in a C&D handicap last summer. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 2 (6) |
11th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
C&D winner last summer; off the mark for 2026 when making all at Chelmsford in January (5f); two defeats since have come over 6f; better expected back at 5f. |
10/1 |

7th 7 (7) |
4th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 10lb |
Recorded his first AW success (four turf wins) when making all in 5f handicap at Chelmsford in January; most of his wins have come at that trip but his C&D third a fortnight ago underlines he is effective at 6f. |

23rd Sep 2025 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Made a successful nursery debut at Brighton (5f, good to firm) just over a year ago and only just beaten in her next two starts over 5f on Polytrack, including here; hasn't matched that form since and failed to beat a rival over C&D last month (behind Gogo Yubari). |

22nd Aug 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
