9st 10lb |
Six-time winner, the latest over C&D in May off 2lb lower; underfoot conditions shouldn't faze him but he does need to rebound from a lesser effort at Chester six weeks ago. |

Only 3lb lower when beating five others at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) in May but he was beaten a long way over hurdles last time having bled from the nose. |

All three wins on turf came on soft/heavy; it's been a while since his last success but he may be able to exploit this plummeting mark when he gets his conditions. |

3rd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
10st 5lb |
Last two wins have come over C&D and he is 13lb lower than for the latest in May 2024 (0-24 since); has won fresh in the past and has run well on good to firm ground, but a softer surface suits him better. |

His losing run is gathering momentum but he was back near his recent best when second of ten over 6f here four weeks ago; no problem with the return to 7f but others appeal more for win purposes. |

31st Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
4lb lower than when winning at Wolverhampton last November; 2025 has been a struggle but he's eligible for this lowly level as a result and today is the first time he hasn't been apprentice-ridden in over two years; risky but not impossible. |

Decent record over C&D (13022; all in 2023) but has become very hard to predict; given a seven-week break since a poor effort at Chepstow and others are more reliable. |

Seven-time AW winner but he's finished a well-held seventh at Kempton in last two starts; on much lower mark back on turf and he's just 1-11 in this sphere; that win was a narrow success off 4lb lower; others preferred. |

Fared better when upped to middle distances before a blowout early last month; has since done better on the AW four weeks ago, when maybe stretched by 1m6f, but needs more off this mark. |

Got off the mark at Beverley (1m4f, good to firm) last month but ran no sort of race at Lingfield (11.5f, good) two weeks ago; returns to AW with a bounce back needed on his first try over this far; stable going well. |

Off the mark at the 17th attempt when winning a Beverley handicap (1m4f, good to firm) in June; that came off a career-low mark and he's gone back up 5lb; still respected. |

9th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 216y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Record of 1-14 but she nearly added to her tally when going close off this mark over C&D (good to firm) last Monday; that was much more like it on her drop back to 1m and she's a big player if she can repeat the form. |
4/1 |

2nd Jun 2025 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 6 |

Gets away with 1m2f but she's pulled hard all four times she's tackled it and today's drop to 1m should suit; finished last in both runs this spring but ought to do much better. |

9th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Hit the ground running last year, winning twice at Nottingham in April, over 8.5f (good) and 1m2f (good to firm); also scored at Epsom (good to soft) in September and once again made a winning return when picking up an AW handicap here (1m2f) 19 days ago; up 5lb and this is tougher but he's progressive and can't be ignored. |

A three-time winner (at up to 1m2f) in 2025 but he signed off with a below-par fifth in 1m2f Nottingham handicap in October; has won off a break though. |

2nd Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 50y Class 2 |

4yo who's come into his own this season with three wins, the first two on a sound surface at this track (1m/1m2f) in April and the latest when coming from the rear at Epsom (1m2f, good to soft) three weeks ago; needed some riding last time and is 5lb higher today but he was strong where it mattered and finished well on top. |

Five-race maiden; clear second off this mark at Kempton (1m) last Monday, showing improvement for first-time blinkers; likely to go up in the weights once reassessed; respected in the retained headgear. |

Up in the weights following three wins in the second half of last year; not at his best in a couple of starts back off 3lb higher and might need more help yet from the handicapper. |

It took him a long time to get off the mark but he was successful three times last year; goes on any ground, but may just need this after five months off; stable also runs Beau Jardine. |

Verdict
Having posted an improved effort at Nottingham on his debut for Dylan Cunha, EDVARD GRIEG (nap) could well take another step forward and get off the mark. Double Red, who may show the benefit of this drop in class with headgear fitted, is second choice ahead of Finn Russell who won his most recent Flat start. Darysina Gold has possibilities granted fast ground, while Lzaz could be involved now handicapping.[Steve Boow]
