All three wins under rules on AW Flat; returns from a break and best watched unless the market speaks favourably. |

9th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |
10st 1lb |
Placed in both Flat outings this year, beaten only narrowly returned to AW latest; has form figures of 221 over C&D; solid claims. |

2nd 1 (4) |
27th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Two-time AW winner (including on Tapeta) who was fit from hurdling when a close third at Doncaster (1m6f) in July; not at his best over hurdles three weeks ago but lost a shoe and he could be thereabouts today. |

30th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Improved for a step up in trip/switch to handicaps last summer, winning twice on turf at around this trip (good to firm and heavy) before ending 2025 with a close second at Chelmsford (1m6f); still has potential after just nine starts and he's an interesting contender. |

9th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Two wins at about 1m4f on turf this term; suffered a heavy defeat when favourite for 1m6f contest last time; something to prove. |

14th Sep 2025 Heavy 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Low-mileage 4yo who won in good style here (11.6f, heavy) 11 days ago and is now 2-7; 9lb higher in a stronger race today but could easily have more to offer over the longer trip; needs to be taken very seriously. |

18th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 68y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Maiden who's made the running in all four starts since handicapping on Polytrack; dropped 2lb since a fair comeback effort two weeks ago and is entitled to have come on for that. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 7 (5) |
4th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Front-runner who is 0-6, but twice finished third on Polytrack (including over C&D) last September; more needed back from seven months off, but he may enjoy the run of the race. |
10/1 |

9th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Two encouraging efforts over 2m on AW since handicapping, while shaping as if this return to shorter will prove ideal; possibilities. |

12th May 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Got off the mark here (1m4f) in January and added a Chelmsford handicap victory (1m6f) in March; below-par fifth off 7lb higher mark at Southwell (1m6f) last time though so more is needed here. |
6/1 |

5th 1 (1) |
15th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Successful under Kyle McHugh at Lingfield (1m4f, AW) in January and Chelmsford (1m6f, AW) last month; ran another good race when second of nine off this mark at Kempton (2m, AW) nine days ago and has solid claims returned to this trip. |

2nd 5 (3) |
6th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Best efforts, including two wins this year, have all come for Kyle McHugh; maybe unwise to take his latest Chelmsford victory at face value and he'll need more again if he's to overcome a 7lb rise. |

30th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Triple AW winner at up to 13.5f, including easily over C&D against her own sex latest; a 5lb penalty may not prevent her from following up, provided that career-best form is repeated. |
11/4 |
|
1st 4 (3) |
23rd Jan 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Two wins since returned to AW in September and she's finished runner-up in her last four starts; didn't get much luck when a close second at Newcastle (1m4f, Tapeta) two weeks ago and she's a key player off only 1lb higher here. |
9/4 |

4th Nov 2025 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 6 |
10st 1lb |
Nosed ahead close home at Chelmsford (1m5f) five days ago, taking record since racing in AW handicaps to 12331; incurs a penalty but Joe Bradnam takes off 7lb; gives impression she'll stay this new trip; solid. |

24th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 6 |
8st 8lb |
3yo maiden; in a consistent vein of form at about 1m4f this summer and shaped like a non-stayer when stepped up to 1m6f at Chelmsford latest (treated as if still in form). |

9th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |

3yo maiden; in a consistent vein of form at about 1m4f of late; chance of winning depends on whether he improves for new trip. |

3rd Sep 2025 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Beaten only a neck in a classified event at Yarmouth (1m4f, good) in July; respectable effort over that same C&D next time before finishing fourth of ten here on turf (1m4f; first-time cheekpieces) 22 days ago; hood and cheekpieces are now replaced by blinkers on this return to AW. |
