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. |

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. |

21st Jul 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |

Five-time course winner who failed to enhance a good record for Rossa Ryan when fluffing the start here a fortnight ago; has a competitive mark, though, and holds each-way claims under Pat Cosgrave. |
12/1 |

9th 5 (10) |
7th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |

C&D win in March (second past the post) came off this mark and was the last occasion Rossa Ryan rode him (record for the jockey an impressive 113121); another big run on the cards. |

16th Jun 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Wildly inconsistent these days but boasts a decent record round here (five wins from 19 starts); back around the mark off which he won here in March (awarded the race) and he is quite capable of bouncing back from two poor efforts on turf. |

Both turf wins have come at Doncaster where he beat only one home last time out (7f, good); that was his fourth disappointing run in succession. |

14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Both turf wins have come at Doncaster, the second in the corresponding event 12 months ago; wouldn't judge him too harshly on York last time and the return to this track and Class 5 company could see him rebound. |
9/1 |

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. |

9st 8lb |
Ran three sound races in June, notably when 0.75l third over C&D (good to firm) then beaten a head at Bath next time (1m, good); below par on AW latest but has an each-way chance back on turf. |

8th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Arrives in very good form without winning, a clear second of 11 in 1m Bath handicap 25 days ago; drawn wide but this course winner merits serious consideration with Oisin Murphy back up. |

2nd 1 (4) |
13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Won two fast-ground C&D handicaps last season, both off higher marks than today's; threatening a win in recent starts and Jack Callan takes off a handy 3lb; unraced on slower than good ground. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Admirable teenager with 12 wins to his name, including one over C&D; best recent effort when second of 12 at Newbury (7f, good to firm) last month; should be on the premises again. |

2nd 4 (5) |
23rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Admirable teenager who has a better strike-rate on the AW, but he has won over this C&D; finished a long way behind Signcastle City at York (7f, good) last month and probably best watched. |
33/1 |

20th 12 (14) |
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. |

On a good mark, fully 14lb lower than when winning last season's Great St Wilfrid, but 0-14 at 5f and he is drawn out wide. |

14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |

12lb lower than for his win in the Great St Wilfrid last August (6f, good to firm); mixed bag in 2026 but he is the type to pop up soon, albeit probably over a shorter trip. |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |

Won last season's Great St Wilfrid at Ripon (6f, good to firm) off a 9lb higher mark; some creditable efforts since but he's hard to predict and has struggled at Chester and York in his last two starts; comes with risks attached and he needs to bounce back on this drop back in trip. |

C&D winner off 11lb higher last spring whose mark tumbled on the AW over the winter; back in form when second to Dion Baker here last time, in headgear (retained) for the first time in two years, and a 7lb swing entitles him to at least close the gap. |

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. |

0-14 for this yard but he went very close at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW) in February and again in April; last month's return to turf at Hamilton (1m1f, good to soft) wasn't up with those efforts though. |

C&D winner; five wins since joining Tony Carroll, including turf handicaps in two of his last three starts; should give his running once again but may prove vulnerable for win purposes. |

1st 7 (3) |
25th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |
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. |
11/2 |
|
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. |
