25th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 5f 3y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Had some useful form last year, including on soft, but he has yet to find his best in three runs in a truncated 2025 campaign; 9lb lower than when midfield in this race last year; others look safer. |

11th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Progressive last season when his two successes included the 3yo Dash on Derby day; missed the first half of this season and might have needed his first two runs back, never-dangerous fourth of ten at Haydock on latest; raced only at 5f but may now be ready for this step up in distance; still relatively low mileage and not ruled out. |
20/1 |

27th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Progressive for Gemma Tutty last season, winning the 3yo Dash on Derby day and posting a personal best when beating nine rivals in this contest (just 1lb higher today) 12 months ago; weak in the market and might have needed the run after over ten months off when only sixth of eight here on reappearance; big player if building on that. |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Prolific winner over the years, including over C&D; no impact yet this season but he wasn't disgraced from a wide draw at Chester last time and he's tumbling in the weights; solid each-way claims. |
12/1 |
|
7th 8 (11) |
7th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Close third off 6lb higher (from stall 5) in this contest two years ago and 2-4 at Chester overall; however, has a big doubt over current form, reflected in two duck eggs this season; wide draw adds uncertainty. |
25/1 |
|
12th 7 (10) |
4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 1y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Ten-time winner whose mark is now 3lb lower than for his latest success; probably needed the run when well held at Southwell two weeks ago, but didn't show much and may require another before hitting his stride. |

25th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 5f 3y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Never a threat after a slow start in the corresponding race 12 months ago; as good as ever when winning at Sandown and Ascot (came from well back) in August/September and two subsequent defeats excusable (ground/Listed race); 3-8 on soft or worse but might be better suited by a stiffer finish. |
16/1 |
|
8th 12 (5) |
4th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
8st 12lb |
At least as good as ever this year, winning handicaps at Sandown (5f, soft) and over C&D (good to soft) in September; found things happening too quickly at Haydock last Saturday and she's in deeper today, but she does go really well at Ascot and the more rain that falls the better. |
16/1 |
|
3 (2) |
27th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Likeable mare with eight wins to her name, including at Sandown (5f, soft) and Ascot (5f, good to soft) in the last four weeks; impossible to rule out but she's gone up 13lb in total for those successes and she'll need a career best to complete the hat-trick. |

24th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Strong 6f form here until a disappointing run eight days ago, tanking through the race but finding little off the bridle; should be fine back at 5f and he remains on a dangerous mark. |
7/2 |
|
9th 7 (3) |
16th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Has turf form but starting to look like an AW specialist, rewarding market support when seeing off Heavenly Heather and 11 others over C&D two months ago; weighted to confirm the form with his old adversary and he is still 2lb lower than for his fine C&D second last May; strong claims. |
5/1 |

7 (13) |
25th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 5f 3y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Began his time with Julie Camacho with two solid runs in the spring, notably when second of 13 at Newcastle (6f); things have gone south since, albeit in top sprints, and a wind operation didn't arrest the slide at Haydock four weeks ago; cheekpieces return (ran well over 7f here in one previous use); stable also runs Solar Aclaim. |

27th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Capable 5f performer on his day but has not made the frame in six runs this year; a slow start meant he couldn't adopt his usual front-running tactics at York five weeks ago, and his mark is tumbling, but he's risky. |
20/1 |
|
19th 4 (18) |
20th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 89y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Smart front-runner on his day; the handicapper took a dim view of his Beverley win last September and he has found it tough going this time around, including at Redcar 11 days ago after a wind op; he is well handicapped again now though and should have a big run in him if his high draw proves no hindrance. |

1st May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Second in this race last year before running out the ready winner of a 5f AW handicap at Haydock last May (good to firm) off a 1lb lower mark; made an encouraging return to action at Beverley 16 days ago; each-way shout. |
10/1 |

15th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |

Pushed the reopposing Smart Vision close at Doncaster last autumn; started last season well (including second in this race on reappearance) and should be on the premises if resuming in similar form. |

25th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 5f 3y Class 2 |

Ran well when second over C&D (soft) last month; respectable efforts twice since but this first experience of heavy going needs to prompt some further progress. |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Ended 2025 better than ever and he made an encouraging return to action when second at Goodwood (5f, good) at the start of this month; has run well over C&D in the past; solid credentials. |
15/2 |
|
2nd 9 (5) |
1st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Ended 2025 better than ever (cheekpieces on and tongue tied) with Haydock victory and fourth at Ascot (both 5f); yard is going well so he's very much one to consider on his return. |
10/1 |
|
5 (3) |
4th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Good start for Stuart Williams when second in a Racing League handicap at Chepstow in August (6f, good); below par on next three starts (awkward leaving the stalls) but he was more smartly away at Haydock last week (5f, good to soft; cheekpieces first time) and found plenty for pressure to win a Class 2 handicap in good style; had the benefit of prime track position there and he's now 6lb higher but rain won't faze him and may yet rate higher. |

18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 21y Class 2 |
8st 7lb |
C&D winner who reappeared with a creditable third of 17 at Ascot (5f, good to firm) 17 days ago; ran right up to his best with that bold bid and he's respected off unchanged mark; cheekpieces added. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 1 (14) |
1st May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Second of 16 in a C&D handicap last September; followed that with a good run at Haydock but he went up the weights and was well beaten at Lingfield when last seen; ran well after an absence last year but perhaps a shade high in the weights for this. |
12/1 |
|
2 (1) |
4th Nov 2025 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 4 |

Two 5f wins on fast ground this summer and he has run well in defeat on his last three starts; climbing the weights as a consequence and there are other fast horses in today's field. |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Runner-up in this race in 2024, and he warmed up nicely for another bid with a good fourth in a big field over C&D at the Dante meeting; should be in the thick of things once more. |
12/1 |
|
4th 20 (15) |
14th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 4lb |
Two wins last autumn and he's better than he's shown at Pontefract and Ascot of late; however, this is tougher and he needs to raise his game. |
33/1 |
|
10th 6 (5) |
1st May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Not handicapped out of things and his latest run at Pontefract, his first start for 12 weeks, was creditable; twice a course winner and likely to make a bold bid. |

He's been an improved model this year and won a shade cosily at Beverley (5f, good) last month; his subsequent run at Musselburgh (5f, good) three days later, when fourth, may have come too soon and further progress can't be ruled out, but it's necessary with this step up in grade. |
