Yet to win on AW but she's rated 7lb lower in this discipline and has run well at Lingfield the last twice (7f and 1m); others in today's field appeal more. |

Runner-up at Brighton 11 days ago (7f, good) in a race he won the previous season; that was a Class 5 and he has never won at this loftier level, but there are no wellbeing issues. |

13th Jun 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 8lb |
Well suited by switchback tracks and is on his last winning mark but he offered very little for his new yard at a big price on his recent comeback; headgear goes back on (first-time cheekpieces). |
50/1 |

1st Jun 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |

The latest of his seven wins on turf was in April 2024 off today's mark; out of form on last three starts last year, including with slow starts, and has since left the Newland/Insole stable; no tongue-tie or other headgear today, for the first time since 2021. |

4th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Recorded the 18th win of his long career when leading late over C&D in February (for Myla Coppins); ran well behind a thriving rival at Lingfield next time but he failed to fire over C&D a fortnight ago (finished behind Coloane); he has bounced back from quiet runs before so can't be ruled out. |
6/1 |
|
8th 7 (7) |
20th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
18th success of his long career when getting the better of Antiquity (winner since and runs in the 6.00) over C&D last month; bumped into an in-form opponent at Lingfield two weeks ago (7f; blinkered first time); another 2lb rise is not ideal but he is likely to give his running. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 2 (4) |
5th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Well into the veteran stage but he retains plenty of enthusiasm and ran on well to beat a subsequent winner (Age Of Time third) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) three weeks ago, his 18th success; a 2lb rise not excessive but late in the day to be giving blinkers a go (has run well in new headgear before). |

29th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 5 |

Has struggled on his last three starts but always a force to be reckoned with at this track having registered an eighth win here on his last visit in August (1m, good; ridden by Oliver Carmichael); only 2lb higher. |

Seven-time winner who handles any ground but he can miss the break; now 2lb lower than for his Newbury win (1m, good) in May but he's lost his way since and needs a major revival. |

22nd May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
All of his seven wins have been over shorter trips but he produced a strong finish when a 2l second over C&D (good) 18 days ago; on unchanged mark and has possibilities if he can find some extra spark. |
12/1 |
|
2nd 5 (4) |
4th May 2026 Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
10st 10lb |
Seven wins, all on good to firm over 6f and 7f; record over 1m is less compelling and he was never in the hunt over C&D on last month's reappearance; minor money perhaps his best hope. |
10/1 |

9th 1 (6) |
5th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Often came to hand early in the past but is getting on now and has never won first time out; carries a big weight, ideally suited by an easy 7f and today's stiff 1m doesn't appeal as optimal. |

21st May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Two wins at 7f on AW and he went close on that surface at Wolverhampton (7f) in March; below that form on last two starts and has something to prove back at 6f on this forecast easy turf; blinkers go on. |
8/1 |

6th 7 (4) |
27th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |

Regressive gelding who's often been inclined to pull hard since returning from a year off; winless since his 3yo days and there are safer options. |
