10th 6 (7) |
1st Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Was running well at 6f and 7f here in the spring but he's never won on the AW and has seemingly gone off the boil a touch, having run a rare moderate race at Chepstow recently. |
20/1 |
|
7th 2 (5) |
21st May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Dual C&D winner who was also beaten a nose off this mark in September on last visit here (7f); running respectably on AW earlier this year but below par returned to turf at Haydock last month; this is easier and he's never confidently ruled out at this track. |
12/1 |

25th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Knocking at the door over 6f and 7f on AW this year; won't mind getting back on turf and he should give it another good go from the front. |

30th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Not straightforward and was tailed off after missing the break at Ffos Las last month but he won by 4l there (6f, heavy) on his penultimate start; has claims if he can recapture that form and he has won off a higher mark in the past. |

6th 4 (6) |
28th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Not straightforward but he has more ability than his mark and his last two wins have been emphatic ones, latterly a near-5l success over 6f here 19 days ago (heavy; first time accessories); that form has been boosted by the reopposing Diamondsinthesand and a 5lb rise still leaves him lower than when running away with an Epsom handicap last summer (7f, good to soft); 5f asks a different question of him but his stamina will be an asset and they are likely to go hard. |

Multiple winner over 7f-1m, including on soft; made the frame over C&D last month but losing run is mounting up and has performed poorly the last twice. |

19th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
All of his four turf wins have been on good or slower including heavy; his last win was at Bath (5.6f) last September but he's finished down the field there in his last three runs; now drops back in grade but he needs to rediscover his spark; regular hood is removed. |
25/1 |

27th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
8st 5lb |
Ties in with a couple of today's rivals on C&D reappearance form but ideally needs a return to further; yet to score over a bare 5f; gained his Bath win over the extended 5f. |
10/1 |

7th 10 (2) |
5th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |

Won three times in the second half of 2025, including at this track (5.7f); looks high enough in the weights on his return from a five-month absence. |

8th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 6f 18y Class 6 |

Best handicap effort was at his first attempt, when a close fourth at Ffos Las (6f, good); would have claims if in that form and it's still early days in this sphere; bit to prove on soft. |

14th Sep 2025 Heavy 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Effectively 11lb lower than when winning on heavy ground at Windsor (5f) last October but placed on only one of her nine appearances this year and evidently not as good as she was. |
8/1 |

9 (4) |
9th Sep 2025 Heavy 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
12lb lower than when winning at Windsor (5f, heavy) last October, but patchy form in the meantime with her latest fourth of seven coming in a 0-50 classified event at Lingfield (6f, good); cheekpieces removed after one use. |
7/1 |

9th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Seven-time winner who didn't get home in a Windsor handicap (6f, good) a fortnight ago, but she does stay this far; has won on good to firm, but most of her successes have come on good ground or softer; sports headgear for the first time on her 60th outing. |

1-38 and finished behind two of these when fifth of seven in a 0-50 classified event over C&D (good) 12 days ago; others preferred. |

28th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Denied a clear run when fourth in first-time visor (retained since) in Bath classified two starts ago; however, he didn't really build on that in a handicap at Chepstow last time and has won just one of his 37 starts. |
12/1 |
|
7 (3) |
14th Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Looked unlucky not to finish closer to the target when fourth in recent Bath classified (5.7f, good to firm; first-time visor) but has poor strike-rate (1-36) and makes only limited appeal on this handicap return. |

28th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

9th Sep 2025 Heavy 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Out of the frame in six starts, as when behind three of these over C&D (good; first-time blinkers) six weeks ago; others more appealing. |

29th Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Poor form in five starts (6f-7f); hopes pinned on the new blinkers sparking a transformation; bred to do better at some point. |

23rd Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Safely held when seventh of 11 on last month's seasonal/handicap debut at Salisbury (6f, good to firm) but remains very unexposed (particularly over this trip) and might come on for the run. |
