16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Runner-up three times in a row over 7f on AW in the winter and returned to form with a win at Kempton (7f, AW) last month; unproven over 6f and 0-10 on turf, but placed on grass a few times and is not ruled out. |

Often placed but has never passed the post first in any of his 23 starts, his sole success courtesy of the stewards; return to this trip should suit, but others preferred for win purposes. |

8th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

All seven starts on the AW have been here, with his record in handicaps reading 11332; drawn a bit wider than ideal and another furlong may suit ideally, but still high on the list in this field. |

9st 7lb |
Has done most of his racing over 7f, winning six times (all on AW); back in form with placed efforts on last two starts, latest at Kempton; close third at this venue in sole 1m attempt; again has an each-way shout. |

8th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Last 11 AW starts have been on Tapeta (231115111852), but he was beaten less than a length into third of 14 on his last visit here (1m); back up 1lb for his latest second of 12 at Southwell (7f)), but still 1lb below his last winning mark; respected. |

2nd 7 (12) |

Won six times on Tapeta (twice over C&D) in first half of 2025, despite his tendency to race too freely; back on a good mark now and bettered a low-key reappearance run when respectable fifth over C&D ten days ago but outside draw a negative today. |

Has done his winning, and a lot of his racing, over 7f; didn't get the breaks back down to 6f last time following a fair AW comeback, and he's capable of going well off this mark. |

11th 10 (17) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Back to his best with a front-running 7f win at Epsom last August; creditable fourth to Arantes Nascimento on his return to action last month; not much room for manoeuvre off this mark and he is yet to win at 6f. |

4th 4 (1) |
8th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Returned to winning form in emphatic fashion at Epsom (7f, good) last August, but following an 8lb rise he failed to beat a rival in an amateurs' event at Ascot (7f, good to soft) in October; opposable on first start since. |

Has generally been consistent this year, winning for the first time on turf at Musselburgh (7f, good) in April; recorded a rare blip at Leicester last month but back on track when runner-up at Ayr (7f, good to firm) 12 days ago; respected. |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
15 races for one win, at Epsom (7f, good to firm; from 9lb lower) last July; faced 7f on AW for last four starts, with career-best form in two close calls, the latest under Mikkel Mortensen at Southwell late last month but today's stronger race for return to turf surely demands better still. |
14/1 |
|
2nd 7 (1) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Sole win at Epsom (7f, good to firm; from 8lb lower) last July; fine on AW, as shown with near miss at Kempton (7f; beaten a neck) last October; sixth - faring best of the three involved in this race - in recent 7f Class 5 at Kempton; may strip fitter, with Mikkel Mortensen's 5lb claim handy. |

6-31 on AW, four of those wins gained over C&D and the most recent a ready success from a 1lb lower mark last December; failed to settle on outer when only eighth of 12 (Jersey Maverick sixth, State of Madness ninth) at Kempton three weeks ago; others arrive in better form. |

13th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 3 |

Last four wins have been gained over C&D at Class 5 or lower, and tonight's would be the highest banded handicap he has taken in to date; drop back from 1m rates a plus, but clear career best likely required. |

Three 6f wins towards the end of last year (including on good to soft/good to firm); took a step back in the right direction when third of seven at Southwell (7f, AW) last time and may be able to build on that run today; each-way possibilities. |

Three wins (form figures 1121432) for Charlie Clover, ending his time with that trainer with a narrow defeat here (6f) in February; high in the weights for this trainer (0-2) as a result, only ninth of 12 after an early stumble at Kempton (7f) latest. |

Sprung a surprise in a soft-ground Windsor maiden last September; no impact in handicaps since but the ground has been good to firm back on turf on her last two starts and today's conditions should be a bit closer to those which she encountered when winning; no shock were she to bounce back to form with a bang. |

8th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Capable on his day and 1lb below his last winning mark, but now at the veteran stage and recent form has an uneven look to it; others more compelling. |

Two C&D wins; has been racing over 7f, a rival forcing a dead-heat off this mark at Chelmsford last May, but he had won over 6f there last March; finished a fair runner-up when making the running again here last month but likely more needed for the win. |
