18th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Last summer's Ascot win (5f) not quite a distant memory but there has been little to cheer since, with poor starts (and a refusal to race) becoming a feature; can't be supported with confidence. |
10/1 |

1st Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Looked a sprinter with a big future when winning a well-contested 5f handicap at Ascot last summer but he refused to race at Goodwood 17 days later and he's been well beaten in three runs this year, starting slowly at both Epsom and Ascot on his last two outings; this is his first start at 6f and given he has been headstrong, it isn't sure to suit; not short of ability but the risks are obvious. |
20/1 |

16th 7 (2) |
6th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Up-and-coming sprinter in 2024, best form when beating a high-class rival over C&D (good; handles good to soft) last July; however, he refused to race later that month and hasn't been sighted in two runs this year; too talented to ignore but he's back from another break today. |

1st Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
Hit the ground running for this yard, his Ripon win in April backed up by arguably unlucky fourth at Goodwood the following month; not beaten far in the Dash here next time and led on the line at Windsor (again 5f, good to firm) last Monday; 4lb penalty to overcome and his best has come at 5f, but he's still considered. |
7/2 |

1st 5 (4) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
In good form for his new yard, faring best of those drawn low in the Epsom Dash last time back in the trademark cheekpieces; bit unlucky at Goodwood on his previous start too and remains on a fair mark; one to consider. |
6/1 |
|
7th 17 (6) |
6th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Trained by James Evans when winning this race in 2024 off a 5lb higher mark (good to soft); well beaten in it last year but he arrives in good form for his new stable, winning at Ripon in April and not enjoying the cleanest run when fourth at Goodwood 15 days ago; rain won't hurt his chance and he's of obvious interest. |

15th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 42y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
No great love for softer surfaces these days, but her present good heart still carried her to second at Lingfield latest (good to soft); record of 13412 in C&D class 5s includes June's win (good to firm); chance. |
7/2 |

2nd 4 (5) |
22nd Jul 2025 Good 0m 4f 217y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Refound some form last two outings for first and second at Yarmouth; best efforts last year were better still but, despite form on testing ground earlier in career, she came last of six on last season's two runs on soft. |
3/1 |

2nd 1 (1) |
27th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 42y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Won this race last year off a 5lb higher mark and came back to form when pulling away with one other over C&D a fortnight ago; has had her moments at the stalls and isn't the most consistent but will rightly be popular. |

24th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Confirmed trailblazer who has won 13 races in his career (six on AW), but has finished out of the frame in all six starts over C&D; blinkers go on for the first time on his 86th start; others preferred. |
11/1 |

23rd Sep 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
One of the faster sprinters in training and he belatedly got off the mark for the year with a front-running win at Wolverhampton 17 days ago; 6lb rise against stronger opposition could find him out. |
8/1 |

1st 1 (3) |

Trailblazing sprinter who got no peace up front when beaten favourite in a Racing League handicap last time; ran a stormer the time before at Haydock and should give it a good shot from stall 3; has form here. |

5th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
His three wins have come over 6f but he's hinted when running well over that trip this summer that this return to 7f is worth exploring; versatile ground-wise and could be in with a chance. |

14th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
C&D winner last year; promising efforts over C&D and at Yarmouth (both on soft) last month but he found things happening too quickly on good to firm ground over C&D on Monday; blinkers now replaced by a new visor. |
16/1 |

9th 12 (2) |
11th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |

Form off current mark, all in Class 4, features a success over C&D in 2024 and placed efforts the last twice; steps up two grades but Oliver Carmichael takes off a handy 7lb; could go well. |

31st Dec 2024 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Ended losing run at Salisbury in June and he has not run badly on his last three AW starts, third of eight at Southwell 11 days ago (cheekpieces first time, retained); has done the bulk of his racing over 5f but the best effort of his career came when a close third in a Meydan Group 1 over this trip; contender. |

17th Feb 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
12-time winner split between turf and AW; his last success was off 3lb higher at Leicester (6f) last August and he showed signs of a revival with his late headway at Southwell (5f, Tapeta) last month; has each-way claims if he can build on that and yard is in good form. |

3rd 1 (7) |
24th Jan 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |

9st 3lb |
Runner-up for the third time in five starts since joining John Butler when best of the rest behind the well-treated Ancient State (won next time) in 16-runner race over C&D (good) 29 days ago; same mark today. |

19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Four runs for John Butler, running well in three Class 5s but below par in a Class 3 in May; goes well at the Newmarket tracks and he holds each-way claims again. |

1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 34y Class 5 |

His losing run is gathering momentum and he has not won over 5f for three years; went close at Goodwood last month (5f, good) though and he should remain a potent force at this level. |

9st 12lb |
Made all at Salisbury (6f, good) in May; unplaced on next two starts but he was a close fifth of seven at Ffos Las most recently and he ran well over C&D last August on firm ground; might not be far away. |
6/1 |

5th 3 (4) |
23rd Jun 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Multiple winner who made all at Salisbury last month (6f, good) and was ridden differently when never involved at Catterick; had no penalty last time and now 5lb higher, but if returned to positive tactics the ground won't be an excuse. |
8/1 |

7th 6 (7) |
21st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
7-43; took full advantage of an easing mark to gain his third Salisbury win when making all (6f apprentices', good) last week; escapes a penalty, and Jake Dickson is able to claim his 7lb allowance, so his chance is an obvious one; clearly the one to beat if in the same kind of form. |

9th Oct 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Prominent racer; ran well for second at Epsom in July (6f, good to soft); less convincing in his three starts since, albeit latest run on heavy is easy to excuse; risky but not impossible that this first taste of a Class 5 handicap will prompt a revival. |

9th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 215y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Made a bold bid when runner-up off a reduced mark at Epsom (6f, good to soft) last month but he failed to beat a rival in a big field at Windsor (behind Supreme King) last time; has something to prove again after that and his last win was over two years ago. |
