12th Jun 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Five wins at 5f-7f, all on good and quicker ground; weighted to go well on the pick of his 2024 form and, following a promising reappearance, perhaps refitting a tongue-tie didn't help at Windsor since; in contention. |
16/1 |

26th May 2025 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
His last win was off 1lb higher at Goodwood (6f, good) last June; 0-9 since but he returned from wind surgery with a creditable effort at Nottingham (close fifth) 16 days ago and has possibilities if he can build on that; tongue-tie reapplied. |

22nd Jul 2023 Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Off a whopping 1252 days before his reappearance but this 8yo retains all his ability, finishing second in 6f handicaps at Ascot (soft) and Newbury (good) in May; fine at 7f and high on the shortlist with Billy Loughnane taking 3lb off. |

2nd 8 (4) |
12th May 2023 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Dual winner (non-handicaps on soft) who has improved with each run this season and did well to finish fourth of 15 at Newbury (6f, soft) after rearing at the start (plenty to do even 2f out); not your typical 8yo with only 12 starts behind him; shortlisted. |

30th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
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. |

9th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Ended 2025 with a 6f win at Chelmsford in December; 2lb higher mark and stronger opposition might find him out back from five months off. |
12/1 |
|
5th 10 (4) |
16th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Good efforts on his last three 5f runs but in between there have been two lesser efforts over 6f; did win over C&D off 1lb higher last November though and he can't be left out of calculations. |

4th Oct 2024 Heavy 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Her form has been patchy since she won at Nottingham (6f, good) in May but she's now 6lb lower and can also be effective on soft ground; it might be dangerous to rule her out. |
16/1 |
|
14th 5 (16) |
15th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 160y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Ended her losing run at Nottingham in May (6f, good); more modest efforts than good have followed but she's 3lb lower than for the win as a result; stable also run Silent Flame. |
16/1 |

4th 4 (1) |
3rd Sep 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Landed her sixth win on turf when making all at Nottingham (6f, good) in May for today's rider Oliver Searle off 1lb higher mark; beaten five times since, mostly below form, and steps back up to 7f for the first time since August 2022; vulnerable to less exposed rivals. |

9th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Campaigned on AW since December, proving consistent until coming up a tad short on finals day last time; has loads of Ascot form but three defeats in this race (finishing positions 074) suggest he can be opposed, especially now aged eight. |
33/1 |

7th 4 (2) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 2 |

Arrives in fine form, beating The Lost King at Kempton in February and runner-up on his two runs since; sneaking back up the weights and he was only fifth in this race 12 months ago off today's mark. |

4-29 on turf and although he hasn't won on genuine soft ground he again showed he acts on it when second at Bath (5.7f) latest; each-way player. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 4 (5) |
21st Oct 2024 Heavy 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Has patchy record but he won on fast ground at Windsor (5f) in July and was beaten less than 2l on soft at Redcar (fourth of 11) last time; seems tactically versatile and he's not ruled out on this drop back on grade. |
13/2 |

5th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Dropped away in the final furlong in the race won Our Absent Friends at Ripon last week; Paul Mulrennan is a good booking (close fourth on him at Newmarket 11 months ago) but others appeal more. |

6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Four wins from ten starts over C&D but looked on the downgrade during a limited campaign last year and turned in an ordinary comeback here two months ago; some way down the pecking order. |
25/1 |
|
7th 1 (2) |
2nd Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
His last four wins have been over C&D but latest was in August 2024; well handicapped on old form but he's been out of sorts in three runs for his current yard and was beaten 12l here (6f) in December; returns after a break and needs a major revival back up in trip; cheekpieces reapplied. |
13/2 |

23rd Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |

4th Nov 2023 Heavy 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Finished third of 15 in the 2018 running; has had a stop-start year but testing conditions suit and he looked in good form when a ready winner from Hodler at Leicester 18 days ago (7f, soft; first-time cheekpieces, retained); back up 5lb; one of the more likely ones. |

Few chances on AW but he ran well over C&D in November off 3lb higher; returned to winning ways in a Racing League handicap at Chepstow two weeks ago (6f, good to soft); respected despite a 4lb rise and his draw in stall 1. |
