9st 3lb |
8yo who has won five times on the July Course here, including two this year; 0-9 on this track but latest fifth of 23 in the Cambridgeshire was highly creditable; another who can't be discounted. |

8yo who has run well in this race previously and won two in a row on the other Newmarket course in July; however, he's finished no better than fifth across his last five outings and it's probably best to look elsewhere. |

21st Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
0-13 since winning his first two career starts on Polytrack, but capable of useful form as when third of 14 in the London Mile Series Final at Kempton (1m, Polytrack; first-time cheekpieces) 15 days ago; has run well on Tapeta at Newcastle and a player off the same mark as last time. |

6th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Career commenced with two wins; 0-12 since but close third in qualifier last time sets him up nicely for a crack at this final and first-time cheekpieces may have a boosting effect; in the mix. |
8/1 |

20th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
On a long losing sequence and he arrives below par, having been tried in a hood (now discarded) when seventh of ten in 1m Ascot handicap last month; handily weighted if he gets back on song though. |

3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Another prominent racer; now a seven-time winner on the AW after this year's wins over C&D and at Wolverhampton (8.6f); those were Class 4s but he's got a canny habit of never winning by far so remains on a fair mark. |
7/1 |
|
1st 3 (2) |
13th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Having slipped down the weights he returned to winning ways with a comfortable success at Lingfield (1m) four weeks ago; up 4lb but not handicapped out of things. |
5/2 |
|
1st 5 (7) |
12th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Has dropped to a dangerous mark, 8lb lower than when last successful, but losing run up to 11 and he was behind three of these at Wolverhampton (8.6f, Tapeta) 13 days ago. |

13th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |

Still seeking a first handicap success and this year's record has been patchy; down in the weights but hopes appear to rest on this first crack at sprinting sparking something extra. |
12/1 |
|
6th 5 (10) |
26th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Ripon novice (1m) in 2024 is his only win from 16 races; inconsistent this year but way down the weights and fourth of 19 at Redcar (1m) last time was a reminder that he can be competitive on turf; much more to prove on his slight AW record; hooded first time today. |
10/1 |
|
4th 2 (12) |
9th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Won a Ripon novice (1m, good) in August 2024, but he's 0-12 since and was tailed off in a similar race at Thirsk (16-1) last time; down the list. |

4th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
All four wins at about this trip on the AW including one over C&D in March of last year; beaten only a nose in a competitive event at Southwell (1m, Tapeta) 13 days ago and one to take seriously from just 1lb higher. |
4/1 |
|
5 (3) |
21st Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Won four consecutive starts on the AW between March 2024 and June this year, including over C&D (2-2); solid fourth of eight at Kempton (7f, Polytrack) last month and shortlisted having fallen 1lb below her last winning mark. |
8/1 |

27th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Glorious Goodwood defeat took her turf record to 0-10; she's 4-6 on AW, all wins at about 1m; possibilities returned to this sphere off last winning mark, assuming she proves as effective back over 7f. |

15th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Two AW wins in the winter (9.4f/1m2f); it's possible he's gone off the boil but when beaten 8l in ninth of 13 at Newmarket a fortnight ago he was denied a clear passage before keeping on nicely; not ruled out each-way back up in trip. |
25/1 |
|
9th 5 (11) |
2nd May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Won twice on the AW over the winter but he seems to have gone off the boil, well beaten at Newcastle on Good Friday; not so effective yet on turf; others make more appeal. |
16/1 |
|
11th 13 (7) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
Won at Wolverhampton (9.4f) in December and over this C&D in January; below best at Wolverhampton (8.6f) latest and he's running in a higher grade than he's used to, but he has an each-way shout on the pick of his winter form. |

3rd Oct 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Good strike-rate on the AW includes 2-5 record over this C&D; however, he's run only three times since finishing close up here last September and looks one to watch after a remote finish here last month. |
20/1 |
|
7th 2 (9) |
3rd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Runner-up at Yarmouth (1m, good to firm) in June but reportedly unsuited by the going when disappointing there two months ago; 0-12 on turf compared to 5-13 on the AW and makes some appeal back on this surface. |
9/1 |
|
5th 3 (6) |
2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Five-time AW winner over 1m and he was runner-up on turf over this C&D two weeks ago on his first start for 270 days; the winner has won again since; has major claims in the returning cheekpieces. |

16th Oct 2026 Heavy 0m 7f 212y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Two wins at Redcar (1m, good to firm/good) this summer and went very close at Hamilton (1m, heavy) last month; endured a torrid passage when mid-division at Redcar (1m, good) last time and he's firmly in calculations. |
8/1 |
|
10th 4 (14) |
3rd Oct 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Went down by just a nose at Hamilton two weeks ago and he now returns to the C&D of his two wins (good to firm/good) this summer; creeping back up the weights but has plenty in his favour. |
7/1 |

2nd 3 (1) |
20th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 4 |

12th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Not ideally positioned when close up in a competitive classified race at Ascot last week (7f); on a tough enough mark back in a handicap but Seamus Cronin's claim helps in that respect. |
6/1 |
|
4th 2 (2) |
4th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Won here (1m, good to firm) in July and followed up at Pontefract (1m, good to firm) seven days later; there's a suspicion he's gone off the boil but he was badly hampered when making headway at Newbury last Wednesday and is not written off. |
11/1 |

8th 1 (8) |
26th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Two wins in July (1m, good to firm) triggered a sharp rise in the weights and his new mark is looking troublesome; the return of Seamus Cronin's claim will at least help in that respect. |

26th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Creditable third under his trainer in the Leger Legends race at Doncaster (1m) last time, having attracted strong support; has done his winning over 6f/7f and warrants respect back down in distance. |

3rd 5 (11) |
11th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Raced only four times for Adam Kirby, who rides him today; 6f winner on second occasion; slowly away then kept on late over 7f here last time; possibly worth another crack at 1m; interesting. |

14th Oct 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

4th 5 (1) |
30th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
His last three wins have been at this track over 7f and he was unlucky not to go closer here last week, having been caught in traffic up the straight before finishing strongly for third; yet to win over 1m but has to be considered. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 8 (14) |
23rd Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
His last three wins have been over C&D, the most recent coming on his stable debut in May off a 1lb higher mark than today's; didn't get home over 8.5f at Wolverhampton two weeks ago (caught wide early) but makes appeal back over this shorter trip (all seven wins over 7f). |
