Well below par in two races (elsewhere) since returned to AW but could revive back at Wolverhampton; has form figures of 7112441 over C&D, most recently defying a 2lb higher mark last March; not dismissed. |

19th Dec 2024 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
7f specialist who has to put a moderate effort at Southwell last time behind him, but is back off the same mark as when gaining his third Wolverhampton success back in March; has gone close on Polytrack and shouldn't be far away. |

Retains plenty of vitality despite his advancing years; however, form dipped last time when bidding for a Chelmsford double; gained the most recent win in a lower grade. |

16th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Triple C&D winner who took advantage of a reduced mark when coming from rear to score at Brighton (7f, good) in August; remains well treated on old form but his spark was missing at Kempton last time and he needs to step up again after that. |

18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |

Back to form a little out of the blue when awarded a handicap over the extended 1m at Wolverhampton four weeks ago; retains plenty of handicapping scope on peak form but has done the majority of his winning on AW. |

20th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Patchy record since winning a 9.4f handicap here in December 2024; however, that was when ridden by Rossa Ryan (form figures of 11312 when he has been aboard) and he is now 13lb lower; needs a revival but a return to positive tactics from stall 1 would seem likely and he is an interesting contender. |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Behind on his only run here (2023); Doncaster last June saw his only turf win since 2021, amidst plenty of AW success admittedly but he was out of form in February when last seen; has a competitive mark but other cases look a bit more solid, particularly as he's drawn wide. |

13th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 4 |

Six-time course winner, most recently off 2lb lower in December; finished an aggregate of almost 3l behind Diamondonthehill in two subsequent starts; that solid rival seems to have the upper hand. |

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. |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
13yo who has won on 12 occasions, the latest in December 2024 and his C&D win came before most of today's rivals were born; not disgraced on reappearance and he's now 13lb lower than this time last year, but his last turf win was in 2022; not the percentage call. |

21st Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |

13yo who has won on 12 occasions, the latest in December 2024 at Wolverhampton; on a good mark but he ended last season with some below-par efforts and is likely best watched on his first start for 194 days. |

9st 5lb |
Won last season's Great St Wilfrid at Ripon off a 7lb higher mark; didn't run badly at Nottingham (5f, good) on penultimate start and a wide draw offers an excuse at Chester since. |

9st 5lb |
Won last season's Great St Wilfrid at Ripon off a 5lb higher mark; didn't run badly at Nottingham 12 days ago (5f, good) but he has a double-figure stall to contend with and could prove vulnerable. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
First visit here proved a winning one when taking handicap over this trip (good to firm) last May; flopped on his second go one month later and only bits and pieces of form since; career-low mark and cheekpieces (0-3) make a return after two-year absence. |
10/1 |

9th 5 (2) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
His last win was at Brighton (7f, goof to firm) last May but that was off 11lb higher and he's shown signs of a revival on Tapeta recently; should get a good tow into this race and could be dangerous back on turf. |

6th 2 (6) |
23rd Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

8st 7lb |
Nine wins on AW; scored at Bath on penultimate outing but is only 2-23 on turf and latest effort confirms that marks in the 80s are probably beyond him, at least nowadays, in this sphere. |

3rd 1 (4) |
25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Has a better strike-rate on AW than turf but he's capable of useful 6f form on grass and made short work of his rivals at Bath (extended 5f, good) last week; now 6lb higher but this mark isn't beyond him on past exploits; would have welcomed rain but still considered. |

Nine-time AW winner who won three in a row during the winter and was a creditable fifth in Class 3 at Lingfield (6f, Polytrack) two weeks ago; record of 1-21 on turf but he's on a lower mark in this sphere and he had a close call at Windsor last autumn; dangerous. |
