29th Mar 2024 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Nine AW wins, the most recent in this event 12 months ago when it was still a conditions race; has slipped to an attractive mark but the veteran has a doubt over current form, having posted two duck eggs this year; perhaps on the wane. |

3rd Feb 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Really smart on AW earlier in his career; wasn't beaten that far when sixth of 19 in the Northumberland Plate at Newcastle last summer but he's been below that level in three AW starts this winter. |

21st May 2026 Soft 2m 0f 45y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Won at Kempton (2m, AW) in March and solid third there (2m, AW) last month; rarely seen on turf nowadays but he was effective on grass early in his career (particularly on slow ground); visor replaces cheekpieces; respected. |
7/2 |

3rd 2 (6) |
6th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Not as good now but the handicapper's been quick to ease off and he showed the right attitude to end a losing run over C&D 12 days ago; a 2lb rise seems fair and that won't have hurt his confidence. |

1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Just 1lb above his last winning mark, but is 6-31 on the AW and 0-18 on turf, including six starts over hurdles; others more solid. |
20/1 |
|
9th 12 (2) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
Made all at Kempton (2m, Polytrack) in January and head second to Berkshire Sundance at Lingfield (2m, Polytrack) later that month; not quite at the same level at Southwell (2m2f, Tapeta) last month but he failed to settle; Newcastle form figures read 12139 and he has an each-way shout. |
16/1 |
|
6th 2 (5) |
4th Mar 2026 Standard 2m 2f 98y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Kempton winner (2m Class 4; 3-1, from 3lb lower) on penultimate start; went close to following up - pipped on the post - at Lingfield (2m; 9-2) subsequently; this asks a slightly sterner question over a new distance on the Flat; likely to give another positive account. |

7th Apr 2023 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Often front-runner; one of his big days came over C&D in 2018 when winning the Northumberland Plate; not in the same form these days as a 10yo and although he's still been competitive on three of his last four starts this winter, those were with falling marks in handicaps; more to do today. |

2nd 3 (10) |
22nd Feb 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
ducked right start, disputed lead, led after 1f, increased tempo from under 3f out, ridden when headed 2f out, kept on |
10/1 |

3rd 2 (5) |
16th Jan 2023 Standard 2m 0f 120y Class 2 |
10st 0lb |
On the downgrade in recent times and lacks consistency now; has won on Tapeta but needs to bounce back from an ordinary Kempton effort, when some way behind stablemate Imperium. |

9th 9 (13) |
18th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 2m 3f 210y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Runner-up in the 2020 St Leger and won on AW (2m) in January 2023; has a mixed record since, the best of which were his two good runs last August when second here (2m; will stay further) and fifth in the Ebor (good to firm); that form gives him a shout (1lb lower today) and his latest start was a step back in the right direction, but he does not look the percentage call. |

3rd 1 (2) |
19th May 2024 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 3 |

Runner-up in the 2020 St Leger and won on AW (2m) last January; has a mixed record since, the best of which were his two good runs last August (including fifth in the Ebor); that form gives him a shout and he may have needed his recent reappearance here, but he does not look the percentage call. |

17th May 2026 Good 1m 5f 16y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Six wins (latest in February) from 24 AW starts but 0-10 on turf; Newmarket 15 days ago saw first turf race since 2023 and he came last of eight. |
25/1 |
|
8th 8 (1) |
2nd May 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Six wins from his 24 AW starts, the latest in February, but 0-9 on turf and he was last seen in this sphere in 2023; fit from AW action (well beaten in hot race last time) but other options seem more likely. |
25/1 |

13th 10 (2) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Six wins from his 23 AW starts, the latest at Wolverhampton (1m4f, Tapeta) in February; has continued in good form when fourth at Lingfield and Kempton on last two starts, but he may again be vulnerable today. |

21st Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 145y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Four-time Flat winner; got off the mark over hurdles on his sixth attempt when making all over C&D (good) 15 days ago with first-time blinkers (retained) replacing cheekpieces; has solid claims to defy penalty. |
8/13 |
|
1st 4 |
6th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 145y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Four-time Flat winner who was placed on the last four of his five hurdling starts, most recently when close second in Sedgefield maiden (2m4f, good) last month; should be fine over today's shorter trip and has another big role to play; swaps usual cheekpieces for first-time blinkers. |

30th Sep 2023 Soft 2m 2f 140y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Multiple winner over jumps and on AW; respectable sixth of eight in 2m Goodwood handicap (good) 25 days ago but it underlines he needs more from his mark. |
20/1 |

6th 1 (2) |
5th Sep 2023 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Multiple winner over jumps and on AW; failed to show his form in last two appearances (Flat/hurdle); close second off 2lb higher in this race last year and has a fighting chance if back in the same form. |

9th Jun 2023 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 2 |
11st 12lb |
Hasn't been seen over hurdles since Boxing Day 2021 but has since developed into a smart Flat performer, gaining a fourth success (all on AW) at Wolverhampton in March (RPR 105); fascinating contender. |

16th Jun 2023 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Seen more often on the AW these days and 1lb lower than when winning at Kempton (2m) in January, but showed little on his return to turf at Newmarket (1m6f, good) four weeks ago; enough to prove for now. |
