28th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Not the most consistent but won off this mark over C&D in October and ran well at Lingfield on penultimate outing; a bit below form when hooded first time 15 days ago in a small field; player if it's one of his good days. |

4th 3 (4) |
13th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Not the most consistent but won off 1lb lower mark at Kempton (2m) in October; returned to form when third of eight at Lingfield (2m) two weeks ago; first-time hood now goes on and another to consider. |

3rd 6 (9) |
27th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Saw off reopposing stablemate Enemy when successful over 2m at Kempton in October but down the field in a series final there at the beginning of December and eased off after hanging left under pressure at Newcastle last month; hard to know what to expect. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 39y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Durable veteran who won twice on the AW early this year; however, he was soundly beaten at Newcastle on Good Friday and faces some unexposed rivals on his return to turf. |
25/1 |
|
10th 3 (5) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Snapped a losing sequence at Southwell (1m4f, Tapeta) in January before close third at Wolverhampton (2m), and returned to winning ways at Lingfield (2m, Polytrack) latest; this 9yo is in a more competitive race today but there remains mileage in his mark judged on his old form; might not be far away. |
14/1 |
|
1st 4 (1) |
27th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Still very useful at the age of nine, getting his head back in front at Southwell (1m4f) on New Year's Day; split reopposing pair Roaring Legend and Brasil Power when creditable third of six over 2m at Wolverhampton three weeks ago but he has yet to win over this trip. |

26th May 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Won four times last year including over this trip at Sandown (good) in the summer; still 9lb above his last winning mark and off for seven months. but he is proven fresh and this is a drop in class; high on list. |
7/4 |
|
3rd 10 (3) |
22nd Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 2 |
8st 7lb |
Improved as he's gone up in trip; should cope if this gets tactical given he won two six-runner C&D contests in August; his run in the Mallard at Doncaster last time didn't necessarily signal that the handicapper now has his measure. |
100/30 |
|
5th 13 (5) |
12th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 6f 115y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
Improver on turf in May/June, badly hampered on his latest turf start (probably acts on soft); has hit substantially greater heights over 2m on AW since, making up plenty of ground when a close second on Newcastle AW last time; that run makes him look one of the best handicapped in this race and this 3yo could still have more improvement in him. |

3rd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Improved last year without quite winning; each-way claims if back to best with first-time headgear after two rather disappointing runs in 2026. |
9/2 |
|
7th 5 (9) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Not quite at his best at Kempton last month but that came after 94 days off and he could improve for it; held up in slowly run race at Kempton in October when 2l fourth on his sole previous crack at 2m, and he may yet be capable of better at this sort of trip; has won here and could be involved. |
11/2 |
|
6th 2 (6) |
2nd Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Won twice in 2024, including over 1m4f on Tapeta; had only five runs last year but he went close on two occasions, including in a Class 2 at Southwell (1m4f) in November; 2lb higher on his return but he hit a personal best last time and he's a key player on this drop back in grade. |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 50y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Progressive on AW in the winter with 2m handicap wins at Kempton and Newcastle; however, only fifth of 12 at Newcastle (2m) last month and the suitability of turf is questionable. |
40/1 |
|
5th 1 (8) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Second in this in 2024 and fourth last year; won at Kempton (2m) in December and followed up by 3l over this C&D in January; this 6yo is on a career-high mark but is clearly thriving and has to be respected. |
11/2 |

31st May 2026 Good 2m 0f 13y Class 3 |

Industrious and dependable sort at 1m6f-2m2f but turf strike-rate is 1-19; not discredited on latest start (1m5f) but others are preferred. |

17th May 2026 Good 1m 5f 16y Class 3 |

Industrious and dependable sort over 1m6f-2m2f but his turf strike-rate is just 1-18 and return to turf last time saw him well held. |

3rd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |

Industrious and dependable sort over 1m6f-2m2f, who's fit from AW, but his turf strike-rate is just 1-17 and that makes him look vulnerable. |

14th May 2026 Good 1m 6f 44y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Won sole visit here (1m handicap in 2019); in the care of Ian Williams when landing 2m York handicap in August 2022 and ran a mighty race when pipped in the Ebor a fortnight later; pulled up at Chester the following month and seen just three times since, including when down the field in two starts for this yard last year; drops in grade from falling mark; watch the market on return. |

20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 5f 61y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Free-going sort who did very well at 1m4f-2m on good/good to firm for Ian Williams in summer 2022, including touched off by Trawlerman in the Ebor; however, he pulled up lame that September and was absent for 686 days prior to finishing well held at Ascot last August; off for a further 14 months ahead of this return for new trainer; this 9yo is best watched unless the betting strongly hints otherwise. |

25th Apr 2026 Good 1m 4f 10y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Last five outings on AW, posting his most encouraging effort when second of 12 in a 2m Newcastle Good Friday handicap; nudged back up 2lb for that but he's still 3lb lower than when runner-up at Chester (2m, good to soft) last September; should go well. |
3/1 |

2nd 4 (10) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Won this in 2024 and he's dropping down the weights; this 8yo has shown the odd sign of spark over the last 12 months but his AW exploits this winter indicate it's best to look elsewhere. |

22nd Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Last two wins came over an extended 2m4f at Goodwood and he may still need this given he was returning from over a year off when well beaten at Newmarket last time; yard could hardly be in better form, though. |
16/1 |

1 (3) |
20th Sep 2025 Good 2m 2f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Well beaten in this race three years ago and then went missing for 640 days; confined to four races in 2024, easily the best of them his defeat of 17 rivals over 2m4f at Glorious Goodwood (4lb lower); fully entitled to need this after another long absence. |
