27th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Shaped well, amid traffic issues, over 6f at Kempton on reappearance; has gained most wins over 7f, including twice at Wolverhampton; interesting back up in trip with Toby Moore taking off a handy 7lb. |
8/1 |

14th Jan 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
6f winner but majority of his wins at 7f; went back-to-back at Chepstow in May/June; not in same form since and returns to AW after a break with his mark still looking tricky; drop back down in trip also a slight query. |

2nd Oct 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
10st 7lb |
Some fair efforts on turf (6f) and AW (7f) this season; well beaten behind Tex and Dannick over 1m here last month but shaped as if back in better form (met trouble) when sixth of 12 at Leicester (6f) last week. |
33/1 |

21st Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Some fair efforts on turf (6f) and AW (7f) this season but his form nosedived at Ascot last time; that was a Class 4 event but he needs to bounce back and probably doesn't have much in hand off his current mark. |
16/1 |

4th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

He's not running at all badly but has nothing in hand off his current mark and he's probably better at shorter trips. |

14th Oct 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Prevailed by a whisker in blanket finish over C&D last week, taking AW record to 4-19; that was a timely success in a qualifier but he faces a stiffer assignment under 5lb penalty in this series final. |
10/1 |

1st 3 (5) |
5th Oct 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Spent most of the season over 5f and generally proven consistent on turf; fine on the AW and is capable off this mark, given a third try in a visor in place of the usual blinkers. |
5/1 |

7th 13 (9) |
5th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 7lb |
Conditions no problem and he ran creditably for third at Nottingham (5f, good to firm) last month; this is tougher but more minor money could be on the cards. |

23rd Oct 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Bounced back from a spell in the doldrums with fair front-running fourth at Wolverhampton (7f, Tapeta) last month; also effective over C&D and a bold bid is possible. |
11/1 |

4th 4 (2) |
27th Sep 2024 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Only 2lb higher than for his Chester win in June; three heavy defeats have followed though and others look much safer; cheekpieces back today. |
20/1 |

9th 3 (6) |
28th Aug 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Campaigned at Chester this summer, twice disappointing since his June win; has a solid record (13122) in AW handicaps but the removal of usual cheekpieces presents a question mark. |

29th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Seven-time AW winner for Darryll Holland, notably of a 7f handicap at Southwell in March 2025 when 5lb higher; well beaten in three runs for Jim Boyle and, although the last two were on turf, enough to prove even back on AW. |
33/1 |

1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
All seven wins have been on AW; yet to hit form in two runs for this yard; cheekpieces return but best watched at present. |

7th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
A fairly useful 6f-1m AW winner at his best for Darryll Holland, but he failed to beat a rival on his yard debut in 7f Kempton handicap in November; needs to take a big step forward after a break. |

3rd Oct 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Three-time winner here early in the season, all over 1m, who's lost his form of late, the switch from blinkers to cheekpieces not helping; runs in a sprint for the first time this year. |
25/1 |

17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Found a rich vein of form earlier in the year, with five wins between February and June (including 7f here), but has been operating below that level in recent starts. |
16/1 |
|
5th 6 (6) |
3rd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Four of his five AW wins have been at this track and the other at Wolverhampton; only 1lb higher than for June's Wetherby win but hasn't been at best on his last two starts; better is needed back on the AW but he's capable. |

25th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Turf winner who has bagged four wins at this venue; returns following a two-month break (has gone well fresh) but he's more a place prospect than a win-only one. |
20/1 |

22nd Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 80y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Returned to form with 8.6f AW win in March and comes here after two good efforts over 1m on turf; drops in grade here and should be fine over this extended 7f; might be the answer. |
7/2 |

18th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 212y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Four-time AW winner who returned to form when scoring at Wolverhampton (8.6f) in March; record of 1-18 on turf but he went close at Chepstow (1m, good) last month and is a big player if he can back that up off unchanged mark. |

Over two years since the last of his seven wins; several good runs in 2025, including when keeping on for second over 1m four weeks ago; 1lb higher this evening but back at his optimum trip. |

Still seeking a first handicap success; ran well in first-time blinkers at Southwell in October but two runs since haven't been quite at the same level; drops into a Class 5 but others appeal more. |
