15th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Career win number ten at Yarmouth last month (6f, good) and the first-time visor tried there was replaced by cheekpieces when fourth at Bath; with the visor back on he's entitled to have some say. |
10/1 |
|
1 (3) |
1st Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
All of his turf wins have been on good or quicker and he secured his tenth career success when scoring at Yarmouth (6f) two weeks ago; remains feasibly treated off 4lb higher and he's a big player again if he gets a good tow into this race; visor worn last time is removed and cheekpieces return. |
7/2 |
|
3 (6) |
16th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Won off way higher marks in the past and ran respectably to be third at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) last time; first-time visor joins his regular tongue-tie (usually wears cheekpieces) and he's down to a career-low mark; has run well here before and he's respected. |

9st 8lb |
Veteran who popped up at Newbury (6f, good to soft) in June; hasn't matched that in four runs since but is back down to that winning mark; still needs to turn the ship around. |
16/1 |

8th 11 (9) |
8th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Veteran who popped up in a Class 5 at Newbury in June (6f, good to soft); hasn't matched that in three runs since and although he's often run well here, he's yet to win at the track; minor money perhaps his best hope. |
16/1 |
|
4th 1 (2) |
25th Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 3y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Understandably not the force of old now a 10yo but he registered the ninth win of his long career when beating ten rivals at Newbury (6f, good to firm) in June; held in a couple of Class 4 events since but he's won here in the past and is not ruled out on this drop back in grade. |

17th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Ten-time sprint winner who scored at Bath (5f, good) two weeks ago and the quick turnaround may have caused his downfall at Kempton three days later; has claims if he can recapture that penultimate form and his four runs over C&D include a win and two thirds; dangerous. |
7/2 |
|
9th 1 (3) |
8th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Often a front-runner and dual C&D winner who has been in good form lately, including scoring by a neck at Bath (5f, good) on Sunday; has a 4lb penalty for that, but is well drawn to attack and much respected. |
7/2 |
|
1st 5 (7) |
5th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |

Front-runner; two wins in December and in the money on his last three starts; just 1-15 on turf as opposed to 8-37 on AW; others appeal more for win purposes. |

Dry since a C&D win in 2023 and has looked on the downgrade in recent times; goes back to cheekpieces from blinkers, minus the tongue-tie again, after four months off; outsider. |

5yo who takes on a field of 3yos, and she wasn't at her best at Sandown (7f, good) three weeks ago; however, she's enjoyed a predominantly solid campaign and holds each-way claims if bouncing back from last time. |

Sometimes hangs; however, has made the frame in two attempts over 7f (including here) and possesses the ability to take a serious hand; below par back at 6f last time; headgear (worn last four runs) is removed. |

15th Jun 2023 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |

26th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 4 |

Well beaten on reappearance at Newcastle (6f, AW) 30 days ago and needs to be an entirely different proposition today; however, he's on a competitive mark on last season's best efforts and his C&D form figures read 123, with all three of those runs coming in cheekpieces (which go back on). |

Hasn't won for a while but was an encouraging third on his return at action at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 16 days ago; sports a first-time visor and is well-handicapped on his old form. |

4th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |

Has returned to AW this year, best efforts when placed twice; losing run is mounting up but he has loads of Windsor form, including three wins, and returns to this venue off an attractive mark; possibilities. |

Tumbled down the weights and returned to his optimum conditions (7f, soft) he ran well at Brighton two weeks ago; that was a lowly Class 6 event though and he'll need vastly more to come out on top in this field. |
