28th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Five visits here have resulted in three wins and two places, all at 6f; made an encouraging return when fourth of nine at Ripon three weeks ago and he's slipped to a dangerous mark; tempting. |
6/1 |

4th 6 (6) |
8th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
All of his four wins have been at Yarmouth (6f, good/good to firm) and latest was in September 2024; well treated on old form but he had a mixed record last season and was well held in the autumn on his final two runs; has a bit to prove after six months off and others are preferred. |
12/1 |

3 (4) |
12th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
7yo who has run some good races in defeat this season, finishing third of 17 at Ripon (6f, good to firm) in August and 3l second of five at Yarmouth (6f, good to soft) last time; this front-runner can make a bold bid. |

Proving hard to win with; not beaten far last two AW runs, behind I Bid You Ajou when sixth at Naas last time; handicapper starting to play ball. |

9th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 205y |
10st 1lb |
Sole win in June 2023; in good form on the AW off this mark recently, beaten less than 1l the last twice; best turf form on fast ground and on a dangerous mark based on a 2l second at Windsor off 7lb higher last June; could go well. |
15/2 |

4th 1 (3) |
1st Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y |

Yet to add to his 6f 2yo win on AW in Britain for Brian Meehan; solid level of form here of late, most recently staying on for second behind all-the-way winner Sporting Hero over this trip last month from a wide draw; 4lb better off with rival here, major chance. |

13th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 42y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Three-time winner on good to firm last year, including over C&D in August off a mark 1lb higher than today's; 0-4 in Bahrain this winter but now returns to Britain on a handy mark having been off for 83 days; could have this run to suit and holds claims. |

21st Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 4f 214y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Has gone 3-4 in cheekpieces and was drawn out of contention in the defeat at Goodwood; however, the handicapper is creeping closer and this race demands his best form yet. |
12/1 |

24th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 42y Class 3 |
10st 0lb |
Has won two of his last three and was drawn out of contention when beaten at Goodwood; always in a good place before doing it comfortably at Windsor (5f, good to firm); 7lb rise asks a question but he's on top of his game. |

29th May 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Upped in distance for two wins at Wolverhampton (8.6f/9.4f) early this year, with plenty in hand on second occasion but he was well beaten off this 9lb higher mark in a valuable Newcastle race 11 weeks later; has a little bit more more to prove back on turf as well. |

Two from two since upped in distance, both wins at Wolverhampton (8.5f/9.5f); had plenty in hand last time and should cope with 9lb rise; interesting with further progress plausible. |

20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Hasn't won for a while but was an encouraging third on his return at action at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 16 days ago; sports a first-time visor and is well-handicapped on his old form. |
9/1 |
|
3rd 5 (6) |
4th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Has returned to AW this year, best efforts when placed twice; losing run is mounting up but he has loads of Windsor form, including three wins, and returns to this venue off an attractive mark; possibilities. |

20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Ten-time winner who scored at Lingfield (7f, Polytrack) in Janaury but he's not got involved in his last three starts; now 2lb lower than for that last success but he needs to rediscover his spark. |
20/1 |
|
5th 2 (7) |
27th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Consistent record round here (2-4 over C&D) and is back on the mark off which he won here in January; not in the same form of late, there's always a chance he'll blow the start and it's no certainty the race will be set up for him. |
8/1 |
|
6th 3 (3) |
9th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
C&D winner who gained his sixth success on the AW at Lingfield (7f, AW) in January; didn't quite see 1m out when sixth there in February and he never featured in a 0-105 at Kempton (7f) 22 days ago; will appreciate the drop in grade but he'll want a good gallop to aim at over this shorter trip. |

16th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Should be thrown in on even last season's best but he has found it tough going for Robert Cowell this year; drops in class with cheekpieces fitted but drawn widest and others look safer. |
33/1 |

14th Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Off a 3lb lower mark when very nearly winning a 6f Class 2 handicap here last October (soft) on final run for John Ryan; however, a case can't be made on what he's shown during a light 2025 campaign. |
33/1 |

21st Aug 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Interesting on the pick of his form and he's on the same mark as when second in a better race at Doncaster last October (6f, soft); two modest efforts for his new yard this year but this is less taxing than the Stewards' Cup last time. |

20th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |

Opened his AW account in Kempton contest (6f) in December; has remained in form since, without necessarily building on that success; likely needs to raise his game in this field. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 3 (2) |
4th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Made his AW breakthrough when scoring over C&D in December; matched that form when second over C&D in January and big player with Billy Loughnane taking over in the saddle for the first time. |

2nd 2 (6) |
14th Jan 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Made his AW breakthrough when scoring over C&D near the start of last month and it was a creditable effort when close fifth of 12 at Southwell (6f, Tapeta) a fortnight ago; solid claims from the same mark. |

20th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
He has an up-and-down profile but he won at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) in March and finished second of seven over this C&D (good to firm) a fortnight ago; leading claims if backing up that latest performance. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 3 (9) |
5th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Hold-up performer who was a ready winner at Wolverhampton in March; similar form wheen fourth at Southwell on his next start but his performance has dipped twice since; no guarantee this will be run to suit. |
5/1 |
|
6th 5 (1) |
22nd Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Hold-up handicapper who won a 7f Wolverhampton handicap off a 7lb lower mark last month; two creditable efforts have followed but he will need to raise his game to defy this mark and stall 1 will mean he needs some luck in running too. |
11/1 |
