1st 7 (3) |
25th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |
8st 7lb |
Nine wins on AW; scored at Bath on penultimate outing but is only 2-23 on turf and latest effort confirms that marks in the 80s are probably beyond him, at least nowadays, in this sphere. |
11/2 |
|
3rd 1 (4) |
25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Has a better strike-rate on AW than turf but he's capable of useful 6f form on grass and made short work of his rivals at Bath (extended 5f, good) last week; now 6lb higher but this mark isn't beyond him on past exploits; would have welcomed rain but still considered. |
5/1 |

1st 3 (12) |
17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Nine-time AW winner who won three in a row during the winter and was a creditable fifth in Class 3 at Lingfield (6f, Polytrack) two weeks ago; record of 1-21 on turf but he's on a lower mark in this sphere and he had a close call at Windsor last autumn; dangerous. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 16y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Has dropped a fair way down the weights over the last year or so, but looked back in prime form when scooting clear to win readily by 4l at Southwell (5f, AW) last week; also suited by good to firm turf and is 4lb ahead of the handicapper under his 5lb penalty. |

1st 2 (3) |
21st May 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Still to win a handicap and has been turned over as favourite four times this year; did well to finish second last time (first run under Seamus Cronin) having reared at the start and it's bound to fall right at some point, maybe tonight. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 4 (7) |
11th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |

Just one win from 28 starts and he has burned some fingers already this year; no doubt he has the ability to win off this mark but the excuses are running out. |

Finished second in a 6f fillies' handicap at Wolverhampton last February when rated 4lb higher; not shone in two runs after an absence but down in the weights and the addition of a visor could give her a lift. |

20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Has five wins on AW, including one over C&D; below his best since winning at Lingfield in February and best watched. |
20/1 |

7th 2 (9) |
26th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Normally a fairly consistent sort but that's not been the case in 2026, with Lingfield success (penultimate start) his standout performance; failed to beat a rival latest; hard to support with confidence. |
16/1 |
|
8th 3 (1) |
16th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Poor efforts in January are flanked by two wins over 6f, latest at Lingfield when taking AW record to 5-30; back up 3lb but Conor Whiteley takes off 7lb; likely player, provided he remains in form. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
C&D winner last spring off a 4lb higher mark who finished a clear second on his return to turf nine days ago; 2lb higher now but having Jack Callan (1-11 for the yard) up to take off 3lb won't hurt; one to consider. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 9 (7) |
14th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Two wins from 18 starts; dropping to 5f wouldn't have suited at Lingfield in February but he was too free at Kempton (6f) when last seen 78 days ago; switches back to turf with others preferred. |
16/1 |
|
6th 7 (3) |
25th Feb 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Dropping back to 5f at Lingfield 11 days ago wouldn't have suited but was no match for Em Four at Chelmsford the time before; opposable. |

28th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

0-13 on AW and 0-11 for current yard, runner-up both starts here; largely consistent this autumn/winter at Kempton and Newcastle but others are more persuasive for the win. |
9/1 |
|
5th 2 (7) |
6th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Record of 0-12 on AW and 0-10 for current yard but he has proved largely consistent at Kempton since returned to this sphere; frame possibilities if staying at the same level and win possibilities on best form. |
11/2 |

4th 3 (11) |
19th Jan 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Losing run up to 16 but much better when third of 12 over C&D last month; that race has produced winners since and he races off the same mark, but the outside stall presents a problem; blinkers return. |

6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Not as consistent now but goes well here and she's capable of popping up if the switch from cheekpieces to first-time blinkers helps; pulled hard back up to this trip last time, following a spell sprinting, and will need to settle better. |
10/1 |

11th 1 (6) |
26th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

Has inconsistent recent form figures but was hindered by meeting trouble last time when bidding for a Wolverhampton double (6f); scored twice off current mark at Chelmsford (7f/6f) in 2025; fighting chance. |

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. |

21st Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 5 |

A dual C&D scorer last autumn; yet to hit top form this term but he wasn't best drawn when eighth of 12 in 6f Southwell handicap in February; possibilities from an easing mark after a break. |

8th 2 (11) |

Won twice over 6f at Yarmouth last year and was a close third at Newcastle (6f, AW; first-time cheekpieces) in November; held in sixth at Chelmsford (6f, AW) on his return from a break last time, and better is needed. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Unraced at two; yet to score but she was placed in her first five starts (6f/7f, AW) last year; 196-day break preceded a poor effort in November, however, and wind surgery hasn't improved matters judged on two runs this year; tongue-tie and blinkers thrown into the mixer and she's dangerously handicapped if rediscovering her mojo on this turf debut. |
20/1 |
|
6th 2 (5) |
21st Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
In the frame in her first five starts (high 60's RPR's), including when twice finding one stronger here (6f-7f); has failed to beat a single rival the last twice (either side of wind surgery) so she has a bit to prove at present; easing mark. |
16/1 |

6th 2 (5) |
29th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Promise in AW novice/maiden runs in the first half of 2025; drawn widest when well beaten at Kempton on her handicap debut ten weeks ago (28-1); had a wind op after that run and not impossibly treated if it has the desired effect. |

Verdict
A case can be made for a few of these but the vote goes to JUSTCALLMEPETE (nap) who can gain a deserved first victory for Tony Carroll on the back of a very good Wolverhampton second. David Evans’ Supreme King shaped with promise when sixth at Doncaster recently and rates a big danger though, while others to consider are Hierarchy, Lerwick, Havana Joy and Bill Plumb.[Peter Entwistle]
