25th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Not disgraced in the Victoria Cup last time but, generally speaking, is perhaps still on a difficult mark on turf; gained last three wins on Newcastle AW and has shown peak form there. |

9th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Registered last three wins on Newcastle AW and ran respectably there on finals day; came up well short in the Spring Cup returned to turf last time and remains on a difficult mark in this sphere; sole handicap success on grass was off 13lb lower. |

Kept busy on AW during the winter, winning over 7f at Newcastle and far from disgraced in a valuable 1m event there on Good Friday; however, his turf form is at a lower level and he'll do well to regain the winning thread. |

Has not run badly in two starts back from around 18 months off but has never been quite this far before; goes in first-time cheekpieces (worn a hood twice before) back from ten weeks off. |

20th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 4 |

C&D winner; made good progress in 2024 and he made a satisfactory return from a lengthy absence at Southwell three weeks ago; dropped 2lb and could take a step forward this time. |

28th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |

Triple AW winner who was placed off 3lb higher at Chelmsford (1m, Polytrack) in October 2024 but he's been on the sidelines since; bit to prove after a long absence but he was progressive during his last campaign and he needs checking in market. |

9st 4lb |
All five wins have been on the AW, the latest over 9.5f here in March last year; placed in a seller (9.5f) and a handicap (1m4f) here in April; poor run back on turf after a break last time; blinkers replace visor. |

7th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
On lengthy losing run but he's been placed at Wolverhampton (9.4f/1m4f) in last two starts and three of his five wins have come over C&D; has each-way claims again back at this track. |
9/2 |

21st Apr 2025 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |

Handy sort; has done most of his winning at Chelmsford, but he does act here (244232172); hasn't had many goes over this far, but finished second of 11 in his only previous attempt over C&D; interesting back up in trip at this level. |

C&D winner; two solid efforts over C&D this year and he won a 1m4f handicap at Kempton in April; last of four over C&D (Dubai Immo third) under Guy Mitchell 21 days ago, but that was a messy affair and this bigger field should help; chance. |

Front-runner; wore cheekpieces on last five starts, including three good runs (one 1m win) on Chelmsford Polytrack this February-April but below form there on latest outing; made less of an impact early in 2024 on his two runs here; wore a hood earlier in career and it's now restored; considered. |

C&D scorer but she came in a below-par fifth of 12 in 9.5f Wolverhampton handicap 16 days ago; she could bounce back though with Oisin Murphy now up. |
4/1 |

23rd Jun 2025 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Handy sort who has gained all six wins over 7f/1m on the AW; back off her last winning mark and probably needed her Kempton return 12 days ago after 405 days off, but she will need plenty to go right from the outside stall. |
12/1 |

11th Jun 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

All six wins have been on AW including over C&D; only 1lb higher than for her last success but she returns after 405 days off and this is competitive on her comeback; down the list. |

On the same mark as when running away with a 7f handicap at Southwell in August 2022; rarely seen since and he was well beaten at Chelmsford on last month's return from 13 months off; could take benefit from that run and this should be a better guide as to how much ability remains. |
