1st 5 (4) |
27th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 7y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Progressive 3yo but his form headed south last year; back to winning ways when making all at Bath (5f, firm) four weeks ago; his head carriage has always been a bit ungainly but he's tough to pass when on song; major player despite the 4lb rise. |
2/1 |

1st 3 (6) |
29th Apr 2026 Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Front-runner who has won four times from 20 starts; mostly struggled last year and failed to beat a rival home at Southwell when last seen 132 days ago; down another 2lb but others have stronger claims. |

2nd 1 (3) |
27th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 7y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Back-to-back 5f wins last August saw her soar up the weights; struggled in Listed company on her final two runs last year and she was again well held on her seasonal return at Ripon last month; down in class today and a better run is expected. |
7/2 |
|
5th 3 (7) |
25th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Improved when visor was added to her tongue-tie last year, winning over C&D (good) and at Newmarket (good to firm) in August; starts this campaign 5lb above the mark she defied at Newmarket and might be best watched after 196 days off with both the visor and tongue-tie missing. |
13/2 |
|
14 (7) |
11th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Has improved since visor added, winning two in a row over 5f at Ripon and Newmarket (on good and good to firm) but a recent Listed run at Ayr didn't advertise her claims for this now tackling 6f for the first time. |

3rd 4 (2) |
27th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 7y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Good efforts on his last three starts, not quite able to peg back Law Of Average's advantage when second at Bath four weeks ago (5f, firm); 2lb better off today and he should give his running again. |
11/4 |
|
2nd 2 (2) |
29th Apr 2026 Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Without a win since his debut at Yarmouth in April 2024 but he's posted three solid efforts since returning from an 85-day break, including in first-time cheekpieces (retained) at Wolverhampton eight days ago; switches back to turf with good claims. |
2/1 |
|
3rd 2 (6) |
21st Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Yet to win on AW (0-7) and hasn't won anywhere since scoring on debut at Yarmouth (5f maiden) in April 2024; thereabouts lately, including when no extra close home over C&D (5-1) 32 days ago; newly applied cheekpieces are worth a go. |

27th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 7y Class 4 |
8st 10lb |
Does plenty wrong during his races but it hasn't stopped him from winning seven times, two of them over C&D; running himself back into form this year but others appeal more. |
12/1 |
|
4th 3 (7) |
20th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
No stranger to the Ayr winners' enclosure, winning five at this track (5f-7f), including this race two years ago; has struggled for form in two 5f spins at Musselburgh this year, which makes him hard to fancy; on the plus side, the handicapper is beginning to give him a chance. |
10/1 |
|
14th 16 (8) |
12th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Posted a duck egg over C&D last weekend on reappearance, taking Musselburgh record to 0-8; has done all his winning at Ayr and Hamilton; not the percentage call. |

27th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 7y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
In good order on AW over the winter, going close off this mark twice following a Class 4 win in November; returning to turf not a bother and he can't be discounted. |
6/1 |
|
10th 14 (6) |
16th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
Multiple course winner, the latest over 5f in November off an 8lb lower mark; held his form since but likely vulnerable at this level. |
20/1 |
|
1st 6 (4) |
1st Nov 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
8st 10lb |
Enjoyed a purple patch between December and May, winning seven handicaps (5f to 7f); he has found it tougher going since and not sure he's in the form needed to take this. |

6th 3 (1) |
27th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 7y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
He ran his best race for current connections when third of five at Catterick five weeks ago (6f, good; blinkers first time); dropped 2lb but suspicion he will remain vulnerable. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 2 (1) |
22nd Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 212y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Useful as 2yo for Archie Watson; absent for 501 days prior to three modest AW efforts for his new stable this year; dropped 11lb and now tried in blinkers so a revival isn't out of the question; not a solid option though. |
14/1 |
|
12th 2 (10) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Useful as 2yo for Archie Watson but hasn't shown he retains that level of ability in two recent comeback outings for Julie Camacho. |
