25th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Solid strike-rate on AW at up to 1m2f but he struggled in two starts (both here; 7f/1m) this year; placed in all three outings over 1m4f but the latest of those was back in 2023; needs a revival. |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
10-47 on AW, with all bar one of those wins coming at Newcastle (7f-1m2f); now sits 3lb below his last winning mark, and Tom Kiely-Marshall's 5lb claim is a bonus, but seems to have lost his way; may strip fitter for 7f course comeback run. |

19th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Nine course wins to his name, mainly in the early months of the year; 50-1 for his C&D return a month ago, when well behind a few of these, and needs a big step forward. |

0-13 this year and has dropped to a mark in the 40s; best recent effort when second at Newcastle (1m, AW) on penultimate start; has the worst chance at the weights on current figures. |

Both wins have come over 1m2f, the latest here in October last year; has run with credit to finish fourth in his last two starts on turf (1m), but he needs to produce more if he is to resume winning ways. |

14th Feb 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Rattled off a four-timer here (7f-1m) early last year but he was out of sorts in his final three runs in 2024; now only 1lb higher than for his last success but this 11yo needs a major turnaround. |
20/1 |

12th Dec 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |

Veteran; rattled off a four-timer here (7f-1m) early in the year; weakened when sixth to a stablemate of Judgement Call over C&D six weeks ago and others appear to be on more manageable marks. |

1st Oct 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Back to winning ways with a clearcut success at Hamilton (8.3f, soft) ten days ago; escapes a penalty and today's 2lb higher mark is not beyond him (4lb well in); modest strike-rate on AW but fully effective over C&D. |
9/4 |

21st Sep 2026 Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 6 |

Tough sort who was third in this race on only previous run over C&D (back in 2020); good second at Ayr on Friday (1m, soft); contender. |

18th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Quirky gelding who didn't look in love with the first-time hood (retained) when beaten 7.5l into second at Ripon, though the soft ground may also have been a factor; the ability is there to go close. |

Winless since his C&D success from 10lb higher in August 2024; runner-up at Newcastle (1m) in July, but took a step backwards over that C&D three weeks ago. |

Winless since August 2024 but he comes here on the back of a good second of 12 over C&D in July; this C&D scorer must enter calculations nudged up 1lb. |

Triple AW winner last winter (including one over C&D) but form has an uneven look since; below best over C&D last time but usual cheekpieces now replaced by first-time visor. |

Inconsistent maiden; probably a bit better than he was able to show from stall 9 draw at Chelmsford last time; well beaten only previous run here (debut) but place claims this time. |
7/1 |

7th 7 (9) |
12th Oct 2023 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

A maiden after eight starts but his pair of seconds to a progressive rival at Lingfield (1m, AW) in recent weeks suggest he can put that right soon; high on the shortlist. |

Hold-up performer who needs the cards to fall right; losing run stretches back to July 2024 and others appeal more for win purposes. |

6th 7 (11) |
20th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
7-91 but without a win since July 2024; didn't get the breaks when fifth at Southwell (6f) on penultimate start and was an encouraging third to an in-form pair over C&D (beaten under 2l) 11 days ago; a likely player under Mulrennan. |

8st 13lb |
Down the field at Yarmouth (6f, good to soft) last Tuesday but slow ground may not suit nowadays; third in this last year and she seems to like the Newmarket courses; each-way possibilities if back on song. |

15th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 3y Class 3 |

15th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |

4th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |

Tapeta specialist who returned from a short break with an eye-catching third at Newcastle (1m) two weeks ago; has claims if he can back that up, but he's 0-11 on turf and has had only one run in this sphere in his last 14 starts; mixed messages. |
