26th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Retains plenty of ability aged nine and rallied well for neck success over C&D most recently, taking AW record to 11-69; back up the weights but won off this mark in 2022 and 2024; may remain competitive. |
13/2 |

1st 3 (4) |
7th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Ten-time AW winner who boasts a consistent record over C&D; high enough in the weights but his latest Kempton effort, back from a break, is best overlooked and the return here won't hurt. |
8/1 |

25th Feb 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Down in the weights before winning back to back last summer; held form quite well after, going down narrowly in sprint series final last time; Jack Gilligan steered him to success the last time he climbed aboard; sound claims back from short break. |

18th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Landed a hat-trick on the AW early last year, the final leg off 2lb lower; back in form lately, most recently in a race that didn't pan out his way, but needs a bit more back on turf from the lowest stall (likely to be dropped in again). |
10/1 |
|
4th 7 (3) |
10th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Awarded Lingfield handicap in early 2025 before going 2-2 over this C&D; just four starts since the latest of those wins last March and firmly back on track when edged out at Chelmsford one month ago; 2lb nudge can't be quibbled with and he needs considering. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 4 (1) |
7th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Notched a hat-trick in the first three months of last year, latterly off a 1lb lower mark; not as good now but remains consistent enough and unlikely to be far away. |

29th May 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Often leads but can be slowly away; took a steep rise in the weights for two 5f wins in early spring but she absorbed it and added another win, from the fast-finishing Ancient State, on Lingfield AW in April; another solid effort back on turf there 11 days ago; strong showing likely back at 5f on AW. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 4 (9) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Front-runner who's had plenty of moments at the stalls; got it right when registering her third AW win of the year last time, but returns to turf on a career-high mark upped 4lb and the extra furlong is a concern. |
4/1 |
|
1st 2 (3) |
28th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Two 5f wins this year, making all at Wolverhampton on the second occasion off a 9lb lower mark; her ability to overcome this mark isn't in question but the start continues to be an issue and others look safer. |

14th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Front-runner who won twice over 6f at Southwell last year when trained by Robert Cowell, the most recent coming in October off 2lb higher; visor worn on his final start for that yard is left off for this stable debut (bought for 9,500gns). |
10/1 |
|
4th 1 (5) |
7th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Front-runner whose three wins for David Simcock, including here, came over 7f; added two more victories over this trip round Southwell last autumn but not at best since and the first-time visor will need to help over tonight's easier 6f. |

12th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Three wins last year, at 6f and 7f; needs to get himself back on track and this is only his second attempt at 5f. |
8/1 |
|
8th 1 (7) |
29th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
On the back foot early due to issues at the start a couple of times of late but has also disappointed; weighted to go well if Oliver Hoodless, who rode a 33-1 winner in February, can get a good tune out of him. |
12/1 |
|
8th 5 (10) |
21st Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Not much has gone to plan since the turn of the year and he's drawn wide today but he moves back up to his optimum trip after two 6f runs (lost ground at the start both times) and is well handicapped if judged on his 7f Wolverhampton form from the autumn. |
10/1 |
