28th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Tends to lead; started the year well on AW but it all went wrong at Newcastle in March and he could only beat one home in seven-runner 5f course handicap a fortnight ago; easy ground probably no help that day and it's not impossible this C&D winner can stage a revival. |

6th 8 (12) |
13th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 42y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Front-runner whose last four wins have been on the AW, the most recent over 6f at Newcastle in February, but he did win here (6f) in 2024; failed to beat a rival home having unseated his rider on the way to the start at Newcastle in March and now drops back to 5f on first start since; looks likely to face competition for the lead. |

14th 10 (3) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
His good 5-15 AW record includes a comfortable C&D win from the front last month; creditable third of nine at Chelmsford (5f) since and the form of that race has been boosted; a must for the shortlist. |

11th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Runner-up at Kempton (7f, AW) two starts ago and he has a 9lb lower mark to work with on turf; however, he's been inconsistent this year and his sole turf win (from 15 attempts) came back in 2023. |

11th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Two-time C&D winner; solid efforts in defeat on his last two starts; still feasibly weighted but happiest when dominating and a few of these like to force the pace. |

2nd 4 (1) |
2nd Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Seven of his eight wins have come on AW, including two over C&D; only 1lb higher than for his last success in October and he ran for a long way when fourth at Chelmsford 18 days ago; has good draw back at this track and it wouldn't be a surprise if he made a bold bid. |

6f wins at Newcastle and Lingfield this winter; not at his best at Newcastle (5f; tried in a visor) last month and the return of his usual cheekpieces isn't enough to tempt. |

4th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Three 7f wins on AW elsewhere, most recently at Southwell in April; a quick return didn't pay off there next time and he was always behind when returned to turf at Leicester last month; has run well over C&D in the past, though, so he may be more himself this time. |

9th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

9st 6lb |
Arrives in great form, having won three of his four turf starts this season, two of those here over 7f and the latest over C&D; up another 4lb but looked like he had a bit more up his sleeve last time; big player. |

1st 5 (2) |
21st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Thrives here - form figures 72111 - twice accounting for Vince Le Prince over 7f last month; weakened at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) 19 days ago, but this track is a much better fit, and he's unlikely to be hindered by rain; still fairly treated off 67 based on historic form. |

Dual AW winner who won off 3lb higher at Kempton (6f) last November but she's not hit the same level this season and was beaten 9l back at Kempton last month; still unexposed on turf but she needs a major revival back in this sphere; first-time cheekpieces are added. |

9st 13lb |
Made it an amazing seven wins for the year, all from the front, over C&D on Friday; subsequent 1lb rise and 4lb penalty sees him still just below his highest successful mark and there's every chance he can complete a two-month eight-timer. |

13th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
He was recording his 11th course win when making all in a Class 5 over C&D ten days ago, completing a six-timer in the process; 1lb well in under his penalty, well drawn and dropping in grade, so a seven-timer is beckoning. |

3rd Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |

On a six-timer; all out to defy a double penalty over C&D 15 days ago and will need more off 5lb higher, especially as they claimed 5lb last time; still respected given the form he's in. |

Won twice last autumn and latest was over C&D; 0-10 since that last success but she's been placed twice over C&D and didn't get any luck when favourite here (fifth of nine) last Monday; could be a big factor if she gets the breaks this time and she's in the mix off a dangerous mark; blinkers removed. |
