24th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Showed ability on the Flat (5f-7f), second on first two starts, but well beaten on handicap debut at Wolverhampton (6f; first-time cheekpieces/gelded) last November after a break; stamina is a major concern on this first run since, making his hurdle debut. |

8th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Smart 2yo; struggled in good handicaps last year but he has slipped down the weights and begins this campaign in a lower grade; one to keep a close eye on this year but drying ground isn't in his favour (best on soft/heavy). |
6/1 |

25th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 5f 3y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Not matched 2yo form this year but he's been tackling deep races and appears to retain ability; his four best efforts have come on deep ground and if he is to revive, it is likely to be under these conditions; stable would ideally be in better form but he's an interesting outsider. |

Ran well when second of nine at Leicester (1m, good) in July, but that was his only placing in 15 starts; others are more solid. |

10th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
14-race maiden but was runner-up at Leicester (1m, good) on his penultimate run and ran respectably at Beverley (8.4f, soft) last time; mark has bottomed out now but Hollie Doyle is booked on this return to the AW and he could be dangerous. |

21st May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Three 5f wins on turf include his last start on grass in good-ground Haydock handicap (first-time blinkers; has won on heavy) in October; didn't quite match that in seven AW starts subsequently but now 2lb below that winning mark; placed just once from five starts at 6f and no headgear today, however. |
10/1 |

6th 6 (6) |
21st Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Triple turf winner but he's 0-7 on AW and has finished down the field at Wolverhampton (5f) and Lingfield (6f) in last two runs; now back on last winning mark but he needs new headgear to make a difference. |
10/1 |
|
11th 5 (5) |
10th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
All three wins over 5f on turf but recent AW form, despite being a beaten favourite on last three starts, puts him in the picture; however, he rarely tackles 6f and when he has, his form has been inconclusive. |

15th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Placed for first time in eight-race career when keeping-on third at Chepstow (7f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; 2lb lower here and well worth another crack at 1m; considered each-way. |
10/1 |

3rd 5 (8) |
2nd Sep 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Similar type to Bobby Jones, being 0-7, but that's where the similarity ends as that rival has a much stronger chance on form; has meagre and inconsistent RPRs. |

2nd Sep 2025 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Listed winner during a busy 2yo campaign but well held at that level in her first two runs of this season and fared no better back in a handicap at Royal Ascot last time when tried in blinkers; handles slow ground but now has questions to answer. |
16/1 |
|

20th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Busy 2yo campaign yielded three wins, notably in Listed grade at Newbury in August (5f, good); unplaced in two Listed events this spring; dropped 3lb for her troubles but the first-time blinkers need to have a positive effect. |
33/1 |

Verdict
Preference is for BOB THE BANDIT, who made a promising start with his strong-finishing second in the Brocklesby and was a runner-up again behind an impressive winner at Wolverhampton 11 days ago. He sets a good standard on his initial form and should be unfazed by the conditions on this switch back to turf. George Boughey’s filly Englemere has soft-ground winners in her striking pedigree and she’s feared most ahead of another newcomer in Francisco’s Piece.[David Moon]
