25th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Six-time winner, notably the 2023 Ayr Silver Cup, but two years have passed since the last victory; retained ability in a mixed 2025 campaign and he should be sharper with a run under his belt; drying ground won't be in his favour here though. |

7th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 2 |
8st 5lb |
One of the oldest contenders in this field and has done his winning over 6f/7f, mostly on ground softer than good; could well be tapped for toe in this belated first attempt at the minimum trip. |

Without a win since May 2024 but runner-up on three of his last four starts (6f/7f, good to soft/heavy) and his turn may well be near. |

29th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |

Only 1-12 for current yard but gained the success off 7lb higher in a division of this contest on reappearance last year (good ground); great chance assuming he starts this season in similar form. |
8/1 |
|
2 (5) |
25th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
He's 6lb lower than when winning over C&D (good) in March in a hood, which goes back on today; however, he's gone off the boil more recently and needs to produce more than he's managed on his last few starts. |

25th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Disappointing favourite at Newmarket (7f, good) three weeks ago but her best performances have coincided with her two encounters with slow ground (both good to soft) so this 3yo is an interesting contender in first-time cheekpieces in view of today's conditions. |
6/1 |
|
6th 6 (6) |
4th Oct 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Won C&D (good to soft) novice on debut last November and bettered her disappointing handicap debut when creditable second in valuable race at Ascot (1m, good to soft) last month; sure to be suited by return to this track; the one to beat. |
5/2 |
|
2nd 9 (9) |
6th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 6lb |
Looked promising when justifying favouritism in a Newmarket novice last season (7f, good to soft) but bitterly disappointing thus far this campaign, in a Group 3, a novice and on handicap debut latest. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Now 11lb lower than when successful for David O'Meara last autumn but has lost his way; it's a long time since he won on turf and even longer since he ran in a sprint, so he is hard to fancy back from a break. |
33/1 |
|
8th 2 (4) |
3rd Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
8lb lower than when successful for David O'Meara over C&D in October, but has lost his way including in five starts for this yard; drops into a Class 6 for the first time in his career, but has plenty to prove; cheekpieces return. |
25/1 |
|
7th 10 (7) |
12th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Yet to offer much in four runs for his current yard, just eighth of 11 in 7f Kempton handicap 24 days ago; significantly more is required from this three-time C&D winner. |

23rd Sep 2025 Heavy 0m 7f 96y Class 4 |

A dual C&D scorer in the summer; didn't fire in 1m Haydock handicap 17 days ago but no surprise if he bounces back here. |

|
6 (2) |
6th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 37y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Three wins on turf (good/soft) since May and he may well have had a fourth here last month but for meeting trouble; last week's fourth of 13 in a Racing League event at Southwell (1m) shows he's still in form; considered. |

29th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Never threatened when backed into 7-2 on his stable debut at Newcastle (6f) in January but remains one who could click for this yard and it will be interesting to see whether there is money for him again now back on turf after 95 days off. |
12/1 |
|
10th 8 (11) |
24th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Made a winning debut (6f, good; strong favourite) at Hamilton as a 2yo and then pitched into the Coventry Stakes for his second start; went 0-7 in handicaps in 2025 but there was the odd promising effort along the way; dropped 15lb during that period and new stable (sold out of Richard Fahey's stable for 32,000gns last October) quick to drop him in trip; could go well. |

9st 8lb |
Went off the boil towards the end of last season and also below his best on last month's reappearance at Musselburgh, taking his losing sequence to 15; however, this two-time C&D winner may have needed that latest outing and he's well handicapped on last year's best course form; not ruled out. |
4/1 |
|
6th 9 (9) |
12th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
0-14 since winning four of his five starts between October 2023 and May 2024, but is 2-5 around here and very well treated on form as recently as last summer; off five months, but is proven fresh. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
C&D winner two years ago who tends to stick to the AW these days; back up in the weights following a hat-trick in the winter and needs to bounce back from a lesser effort when last seen five weeks ago. |
10/1 |
|
5th 5 (1) |
10th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
0-8 here but completed a 6f hat-trick when scoring at Kempton (Polytrack; also won on Tapeta) in February; repeatedly denied a run when unlucky fifth next time and latest third (Hunky Dory fifth) was a solid effort a fortnight ago; considered. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 6 (3) |
26th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Unlucky fifth, getting no sort of run, in the Kempton event won by Lazzar when bidding for a 6f four-timer; treated as still in form and still well handicapped (mark is unchanged); remains of interest at this level. |

20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
13-race maiden who can miss the break and he returned after wind surgery with a laboured effort over C&D (17-2) two weeks ago; finished behind three of today's rivals in that race and he needs to leave that form behind. |
20/1 |
|
7th 2 (7) |
4th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
In the frame in all four starts on the AW, but yet to win after 12 attempts; returns from 191 days off having undergone wind surgery and he may be best watched despite having run well fresh in the past. |
10/1 |
|
9 (15) |
25th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
0-11 but runner-up in first-time tongue-tie (retained since) at Ascot (7f, soft) last month and did well to finish sixth of 17 there (7f, good to soft) last time having been slowly away; wears first-time blinkers and could have a big part to play. |

16th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 6lb |
Ended his 2025 campaign with a heavy-ground 7f double at Doncaster; better form this season when third of 22 to Mezcala in the Spring Mile at same track (good to soft) and close third at Chester (7.6f, good) ten days ago, but he's edging back up the weights. |
16/1 |

3rd 13 (8) |
6th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 127y Class 2 |
8st 6lb |
Ended his 2025 campaign with a heavy-ground 7f double at Doncaster; underlined how well he operates on Town Moor with a good third of 22 in the Spring Mile (good to soft) on reappearance in March; claims if he can reproduce that sort of form at Chester (first visit). |
16/1 |

3rd 16 (9) |

Ended his 2025 campaign with a heavy-ground 7f double that took his overall record at Doncaster to 3-3; acts on any going and has been very competitive (223) in 1m races on turf; respected kept to this track. |

7th 2 (3) |
29th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Doubled his tally in Leger Legends race at Doncaster last September (comfortably made all at 40-1 despite going as far as 1m for the first/only time); just one run of note since but he did show more spark latest on his second run back from a break, in first-time blinkers (retained); not ruled out if taking to AW at the first attempt. |

13th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Stable yet to get rolling for the year but started favourite on his Doncaster comeback recently; said to have stopped quickly there and goes in first-time headgear today; softer ground would have been ideal back to sprinting (last autumn's win came over 1m). |

1st May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |

Realistically weighted on his best efforts last year and his second run in March was better than the first; however, his AW exploits are unconvincing. |

6th 4 (13) |
29th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
1m on good to soft ground no problem and he is feasibly weighted on his best efforts last year; should be sharper with his recent return to action under his belt and he has the assistance of a leading amateur in the saddle; one for the shortlist. |

Good record here with three wins including a division of this (soft; acts on good/good to firm) in 2024; cashed in on reduced mark to open AW account over 7f in November and just 1lb higher on this return to turf after three months away; possibilities. |

5th 6 (1) |
20th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Opened his AW account in C&D event in November; switch to front-running didn't quite pay dividends here last time but he still ran respectably; remains of interest in this scenario. |
