Seven wins on the AW; consistent in the main and ran okay over the 8.6f here ten days ago, leaving the impression that this longer trip is worth another go. |

Seven times an AW winner, twice over C&D; back to his last winning mark and Jack Mitchell takes over from a 7lb claimer; one to take seriously. |

Reliable sort who comes here on the back of a solid fifth of 12 in 7f handicap here 18 days ago; he ought to be in the shake-up once more. |

29th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 5f 8y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Has had more success on AW and his last turf win was in 2023; several bits of 2024 and 2025 turf form give him a good shout off this career-low mark but his more recent efforts are less encouraging. |

Beat Fierce by a neck when winning over C&D in March and he arrives here 7lb better off with his old rival; second run back from a summer break was better than the first and he should make a bold bid. |

2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Ended 2025 in good form on the AW but this veteran failed to fire in a pair of 6f Newcastle handicaps at the start of the year; needs to bounce back after a break. |
12/1 |

8th 8 (1) |
24th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Winless since October 2024; form figures of 223 here through December (6f/7f) suggested he was near to ending that barren sequence; however, his latest effort (eighth) was a step backwards, leaving this 9yo stablemate of True Promise work to do against Dandy Magic; easing mark. |
20/1 |

16th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Has a modest strike-rate (wins came in 2019 and 2024) but he's in a consistent vein of form, having been placed at Newcastle in last three starts; may remain competitive. |

12th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
No turf win since May 2022; has posted some decent efforts at Newmarket (6f, both tracks) this season, none better than when runner-up in June; cheekpieces are yet to elicit improvement but this appears a better option than Southwell (tenth of 14) last time; easing mark. |
16/1 |

10th 7 (13) |
25th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |

He is on a competitive mark and has a course win on his record (7f); not beaten far at Newmarket this month when tried in cheekpieces for the first time; wide draw but he's not ruled out. |

1st Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Twice placed on the two courses here before his effort petered out tamely at Haydock two weeks ago; returning here has to rate a positive, as might the addition of cheekpieces. |

1st Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Multiple wins include four over C&D; his losing AW run goes back two years but he's on a handy mark now and showed he can make it pay when close up at Bath (1m) recently after getting checked in his run; blinkers return and Oisin Murphy rides for the first time; can be involved. |

13th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |

Ended a losing run in 7f AW Lingfield handicap eight days ago; had a bit up his sleeve there so is very much one to consider under a 4lb penalty. |

5th Jun 2025 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |

Acts well over C&D but hasn't been back here since impressive win in 2023; on a handy mark and of interest after a good Leicester run in May, with Oisin Murphy a rare booking for the yard (0-1 in last five years). |

15th Jul 2023 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Had a very good spell in the first half of 2022, with four front-running wins at 7f on AW and turf (good and soft), but not yet found her form this year; highly tried last time out and return to 7f will suit but an about-turn needed. |

21st Jun 2023 Good 0m 7f 213y Class 2 |

Usually goes forward; had a productive first half of 2022, winning four times over 7f on turf/AW, but well below par in both outings this year 12 weeks apart (had wind surgery in between); others much more obvious. |

0-13 on AW as opposed to 4-22 on turf; placed at Newcastle in May on last AW start; current wellbeing has to be taken on trust after two heavy defeats on turf. |

12th Jul 2025 Good 1m 0f 68y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Started this season with good thirds at Newcastle (1m, AW) and Doncaster (1m, good) but he missed the break and finished in rear at Carlisle last time; bit to prove again after that and he's won only once in last 20 starts. |
10/1 |

25th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |

Won at Beverley last season (8.5f, soft); two creditable runs this time, last time finishing a close third at Doncaster (1m, good); each-way chance. |
