1st Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
These conditions bring out the best in him and was taking his C&D record to 4-6 when finishing with a flourish to win a strong handicap last month; remains capable of further progress and although he has something to find at the weights, a bigger concern is the prospect of a tactical event. |

6th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Better on AW than turf and his C&D record reads 31511 (including this race 12 months ago); endured a troubled passage at Newcastle on his most recent AW run and still looked in form; no show in the Stewards' Cup but this is altogether more suitable; Oisin Murphy rides for the first time. |

Capable off this mark and he didn't enjoy a clear run at Newcastle five weeks ago (6f); all his best form has come on AW though and nothing in his turf record suggests he's the answer. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Yielding 0m 6f 0y |
9st 10lb |
Smart turf form at up to 7f in Bahrain for George Scott early last year; standout runs for current yard this year when second to Sir Les Patterson on the AW and latest when close fourth of 13 at Chester early this month, extended 7f looking to stretch him; return to stiff 6f could suit. |

Smart turf form at up to in Bahrain for George Scott early last year; best run for Adrian McGuinness when second over 6f at Dundalk in February and bounced back from a lesser effort at Newcastle on Good Friday when fifth of 12 on return to turf at Naas (6f, good) last Monday; has a handy draw but not obviously well treated on recent exploits. |

Smart turf form for George Scott in Bahrain early last year; best run for Ado McGuinness over 6f at Dundalk on penultimate but only beat two rivals home at Newcastle on latest; potentially well handicapped on return to turf and not dismissed. |

2nd Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Won at Ascot (5f, good to firm) in April and kept on for close second at Haydock (5f, good to firm) next time; feasibly treated on that form but he hasn't shone on his last two outings and needs to get back on track. |

14th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 3 |

Looked good dropped to 5f at Ascot in April and ran creditably on his next two starts; low draw excuses a lesser run back at Ascot last month; returns to 6f and shouldn't be passed over lightly. |

12th Jul 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Impressed over C&D in April, his first attempt at 5f; ran well at Haydock next time and the ground shouldn't have been an issue when only fifth at Hamilton last time; still possible he's happiest on good to firm though and could yet rate higher at the trip. |

Dual AW winner who gave it a good shot upped to 7f when third in a Newbury handicap (soft) in September; left the Crisfords for 32,000gns since; goes back up in grade for new yard but she's only had five handicap runs and could have more to offer at this trip; one to keep an eye on. |

Hard to make a case for him being on a good mark on what we've seen in handicaps but perhaps returning to sprinting will help this free-goer; Rossa Ryan back in the plate for AW debut. |

Went close off this mark over C&D in November; good run at Kempton on his penultimate start and he will find this more manageable than the hot Kempton handicap he contested on Friday; respected. |

Two-time C&D winner; has been competitive off this sort of mark in recent months, beaten two noses into third over C&D 24 days ago (blinkered first time); up in class but likely to give it another good go. |

11th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Turf winner as 2yo; missed all of 2025 but she's made hay off a much-reduced mark on AW for new yard, not needing much urging to complete the 6f hat-trick at Southwell in January; up 4lb but her best handicap form for previous yard was gained off a higher mark than today's; much respected. |

Thrown in on her best form for Georgina Nicholls and she made it 2-2 for new connections with a Lingfield win that was more commanding than the winning distance might suggest; 1lb wrong under a penalty but surprising if there isn't a fair bit left in the tank. |

9th Jul 2024 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Often placed before getting off the mark in a C&D novice in January; two 6f handicap runs since returning from a three-month break have been underwhelming; back up in trip and down in class so there could be a bigger effort forthcoming. |

12th Jun 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Didn't need to improve to land Lingfield novice in January (led and held on gamely over 7f); soft ground a possible excuse when running no race off a break last time. |

16th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Reappeared with a win at Doncaster (7f, good to soft) in March and got up in the final strides to follow up at Southwell (7f, AW); won over 1m last summer and versatile ground-wise; this progressive 5yo is climbing the weights only slowly and could play another leading role. |

30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |

Well backed at Doncaster (7f Class 4, good to soft) just over a month ago and that support was justified, as he drew clear of his 15 rivals; 4lb higher but no issues with AW and this long home straight should play to his strengths; the one to beat and he has Silvestre De Sousa in the saddle. |

22nd May 2026 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Didn't seem beaten entirely by the 7.5f trip at Chester on seasonal debut but is still seeking a first success beyond sprint distances; not exactly guaranteed to take advantage of being 1lb below last winning mark. |

6th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 127y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Useful sprinter, landing soft-ground wins over 6f here and 5f at Yarmouth last summer; has had wind surgery ahead of reappearance; a new trip and a wide stall and are enough reasons to look elsewhere. |
25/1 |

25th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 5f 3y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Good record on heavy and he was in fine form on soft ground in midsummer, winning decisively at Chester (6f) and Yarmouth (5f); not quite so good on his last two starts but a return to his best could be forthcoming; high on the list for a yard also represented by Germanic. |
