1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Made all up the stands' rail when springing a 40-1 surprise in this race in 2024; added another major handicap when dominating last year's Wokingham; failed to beat a rival in his next three starts though (including in this race) and he has been absent for 314 days; his draw gives him the chance to repeat the heroics of 2024 but this looks a tough assignment on his return. |

21st Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 4f 214y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Over two years since he last ran on the AW but that made it 2-2 at Wolverhampton; won last year's Stewards' Cup and this year's Wokingham, so clearly a tip-top handicapper when on his game; found the ground too slow in last month's big handicap at Goodwood but his run back there last time is not so easily forgiven. |

24th Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

Had an excuse (ground not fast enough) last time when failing by a long way to complete Stewards' Cup double; made all at Ascot (6f, good to firm) in his other two British runs this term, including the Wokingham; very useful handicapper when conditions are ideal. |

30th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Her losing run stands at 26 but that doesn't do her justice as she's an admirable mare who has run numerous good races since that latest success; good third against male opposition at Newcastle four weeks ago; should get a good pace to aim at and more prize money would seem likely. |

12th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won two of his last four starts, including C&D; latest effort was a backwards step but this isn't a strong race and a revival would be no surprise. |
5/1 |
|
7th 4 (3) |
18th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Particularly successful on Tapeta but he was a wide-margin winner over C&D in June and again won from the front at Wolverhampton in his only subsequent AW run; the chasers were closing there but he had the race in the bag from some way out and, back up 3lb, he looks sure to go well again. |

Nine-time winner, the latest a comfortable success in a 6f handicap at Lingfield (AW) last month; his subsequent defeat on soft turf is easy to forgive; high on the list. |

Won a 7f AW handicap in February; two solid AW runs (6f) in July and he should go well back on turf; rain won't hurt his chance. |

4th 4 (5) |
27th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |

Prolific winner who showed more back on Tapeta last time, when drawn wide and inclined to hang right at Wolverhampton; remains pretty consistent and is on a competitive mark, so there are positives. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 1 (11) |
17th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Has nine career wins, the most recent at Lingfield (7f, AW) in February off 2lb lower; should be better for his fourth of eight at Lingfield (6f, soft) last month and has won off 8lb higher when in his prime; not out of this. |

2nd Oct 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Has a good Windsor record, notching two more 6f wins (good/good to firm) this summer; soft ground provides an excuse for a below-par run there last time; campaigned mainly as a sprinter in recent years but was a 7f winner earlier in career. |
22/1 |

29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |

Excels here and ran another good race at the track when a closing third behind Under The Twilight, having got behind; a faster pace today would play to his strengths; no ground concerns. |
11/2 |

3rd 6 (4) |
17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
9yo who's an eight-time Windsor winner, including this May and June; beat Amazonian Dream in the latter race and runner-up to him here next time, before not disgraced on a first crack at Brighton; reliable sort from off the pace and he has each-way claims again. |

Absent since finishing fifth over C&D two months ago; 0-10 for current stable but remains well handicapped on historical data; admittedly doesn't seem the force of old. |

18th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 4 |

Four-time winner who has come down 15lb in the handicap since the start of the season but isn't obviously shaping as if he's about to exploit it. |

Seven-time winner (including four at this track); has looked regressive the last couple of years and was beaten out of sight at Naas last month; hopes rest on a return to the AW from a falling mark; wide draw doesn't help. |

Not as good or consistent as he was and does a lot of his racing now over 6f, as when behind Monks Dream (Dark Kestrel fifth) here recently; again only holds each-way claims. |
8/1 |

15th Feb 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Dropped to a dangerous mark and his last two efforts have been more encouraging; 7lb better off with Brazilian Rose on last month's C&D run but wouldn't be open to the same progress as that rival. |

4th 2 (2) |
17th Jan 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Close third on latest outing but isn't certain to build on that effort; 0-11 for current yard and losing run goes back to 2022. |

Dual C&D winner who is back to the mark he was successful from at Haydock (6f, good to firm) in April; fair fourth over C&D 19 days ago; sports first-time cheekpieces on this 107th start and he warrants consideration. |
9/2 |

Recorded his 13th turf win when scoring in good style at Haydock (6f, good to firm) in April; only 2lb higher here, but has mixed record since that last success and he was down the field at Beverley last time; others are more persuasive. |

23rd Sep 2023 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Both wins at 6f, including a handicap on the AW in February; hasn't been ideally drawn in either run since returning from six months off and better is expected this afternoon. |

Half-brother to the very useful Dragon Symbol who's lightly raced and open to improvement; was drawn away from the action on his return from six months off on turf recently (gelded) and that was promising enough; is again drawn wide though. |

9st 7lb |
He had dropped a long way in the weights prior to his fine third at York's Dante meeting and he confirmed his wellbeing when seeing off 20 rivals back at York two weeks later (7f, good); ran poorly when an odds-on favourite at Chepstow one week later; fully effective over C&D; can't be dismissed. |

7th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 16y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Useful in his younger days and, having regressed last year, has found his level again of late; easily beat a big field from the front at York last weekend and a 6lb rise may well be within range now he's back in the groove. |

Last turf win came off an 11lb higher mark at Newmarket in August 2022 (6f, good to firm) but has won twice on AW since (6f/7f); sound run when close third to Delicacy over C&D last time last time (good to firm) and although 2lb higher is one with a chance. |
