22nd May 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
Has registered two wins apiece on AW and turf; went close at Nottingham (5f, good) most recently; again receives weight all round and may well remain competitive; has bits of C&D form. |

26th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 3 |

Has returned to AW for two starts this year, better effort when runner-up on reappearance; has gained both turf wins at Windsor but is attractively treated off current mark; could go well. |

27th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
11-time turf winner who won by 4l at Lingfied in July but he's been a long way below that form in three subsequent runs; this return to 6f is no problem but he needs a major revival on belated Tapeta debut; blinkers reapplied. |

Ran away with a turf handicap here (5f, good to soft; blinkered first time) in July; two heavy defeats have followed and this looks a warm race in which to try and bounce back; no accessories this time. |

21st May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 16y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Seven turf wins on ground ranging from good to heavy; not in peak form on AW this year but last autumn's wins at Bath (5.5f, heavy) and Leicester (5f, soft) make him of firm interest off this mark. |
9/2 |

10th 3 (9) |
20th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
On a difficult mark and has done all of his winning on turf, mostly over shorter than 6f; mixed RPRs since returned to AW; not the percentage call in this competitive race. |
40/1 |

4th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Had a good spell in the mud on turf last autumn but ended his year with a lesser run at Newcastle in November, taking his AW record to 0-8; might be best watched after 97 days off. |

27th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Three-time course winner, the latest when scoring comfortably over 5f last month; easy wins in successive days in early September (good to firm and heavy); now 24lb higher than when starting his winning spree and he will require another career best to overcome latest 11lb rise; certainly can't be ignored though. |

1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 34y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Three C&D runs have yielded two wins and a fifth (in Class 3 company); has only run to form once this year, finishing third to Harry Brown at Lingfield (5f, good to firm) last month; below par last time but if he is to revive it is likely to be under these conditions. |
8/1 |

19th May 2026 Good 0m 4f 217y Class 6 |

Has won five times on turf but is not the force of old; has dropped a career-low mark but this race looks too competitive. |
5/1 |

3rd 6 (7) |
9th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 4f 217y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Front-runner with a C&D win on his record; 6lb lower than when seeing off seven rivals at Newbury last summer (5f, good to firm) but not easily recommended on 2026 evidence and he will find easier races to dominate than this. |

9th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Runner-up three times this winter (including twice over C&D), but he was disappointing after another slow start at Chelmsford last month; needs to bounce back and he's now 0-13 since his sole win last June. |

29th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 5f 8y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Made all at Yarmouth (5f, good) in June on handicap debut, his only win from 11 races; wore headgear for last six outings and the last three were major backward steps, so others have more pressing claims. |

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 |

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. |

22nd May 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Very productive in 2025, winning five times; hindered by wide draw at Chester most recently, otherwise has a good record over 5f; just needs to prove he can overcome current mark. |
12/1 |

9th 13 (12) |
7th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Posted duck eggs over 6f in last two appearances, not beaten entirely by the trip; has a very good record at 5f but faces a harder task off current mark at this level, especially from an unfavourable draw. |
33/1 |
|
10th 9 (10) |
17th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Enjoyed a revival in the second half of 2025, winning five 5f handicaps on good ground or slower; no show over 6f when last seen in November and he returns to action off a tough mark. |
33/1 |
