16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Runner-up three times in a row over 7f on AW in the winter and returned to form with a win at Kempton (7f, AW) last month; unproven over 6f and 0-10 on turf, but placed on grass a few times and is not ruled out. |

Often placed but has never passed the post first in any of his 23 starts, his sole success courtesy of the stewards; return to this trip should suit, but others preferred for win purposes. |

4th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Three 7f wins on AW elsewhere, most recently at Southwell in April; a quick return didn't pay off there next time and he was always behind when returned to turf at Leicester last month; has run well over C&D in the past, though, so he may be more himself this time. |

7th 7 (5) |
9th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Resumed winning ways in 7f Southwell handicap in April but he beat only two home back there eight days later; this C&D scorer needs to bounce back. |
7/1 |

23rd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Gained his third success on the AW when beating On Key over C&D eight days ago, despite hanging left; holds solid claims under a 5lb penalty (due to be 1lb higher in future). |

18th Aug 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Not much luck round Chester since switched to blinkers, being drawn wide in June and then having his jockey lose an iron soon after the start last time; is 3lb lower than when winning a Polytrack nursery last October; one to consider. |
5/1 |
|
5th 11 (1) |
12th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Lingfield nursery winner (7f AW) last October; hasn't progressed this year, with newly applied blinkers seemingly not yielding initial improvement over 6f here (good; sixth of 12) last month; 2lb lower, and much better drawn on this occasion, so can potentially sit handier; possibilities. |
6/1 |
|
6th 9 (12) |
14th Jun 2024 Good To Soft 0m 6f 17y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Caused a 40-1 surprise when scoring at Lingfield (7f, AW) last October but he's not gone on from that and has been beaten 7l on Tapeta and turf in last two runs; continues to edge down the weights but he needs new headgear to make a difference back at this trip. |

9st 9lb |
Fourth in two of his four starts last year including on nursery debut at Newcastle (7f, Tapeta; first start since being gelded), but a well-beaten last of eight on his Wolverhampton return (8.6f, Tapeta) last month; blinkers replace cheekpieces, but the outside stall won't make things easy. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Started favourite on his first nine starts last year, winning two of them, both off lower marks; hit traffic over an inadequate 5f on his comeback a few weeks ago, which will ensure he's popular once again for a yard also responsible for Cairdeas. |
4/1 |

3rd 2 (6) |
23rd Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

All best form at 6f on good or quicker ground; easily excused a modest farewell to 2025 on account of soft going but he does have something to prove in his first-ever 5f run. |

0-9 and unable to threaten in the main since debut win in June 2023; however, off this reduced mark she dead-heated with Dandy Lichious for second of 14 on recent reappearance at Catterick (7f, good; albeit no match for winner) and she's on the shortlist. |

28th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 25y |
9st 11lb |
Six-time AW winner remains a maiden on turf (0-22); has placed over C&D (good) off 3lb higher and shaped better than the bare result at the Curragh latest so not dismissed from an each-way perspective. |
14/1 |
|
14th 18 (17) |
4th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y |

Six-time winner over this trip on AW; still seeking turf breakthrough after 21 attempts; potentially well handicapped based on his victory at Dundalk in March, achieved at the main expense of today's rivals Reposado and Masked Angel; 11lb better off with Reposado. |

15-race maiden; coped well with the step up to this trip when a close fourth over C&D last week; that wasn't a searching examination of her stamina but this might not be either and she's one to consider. |
