1st Oct 2024 Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Five-time turf winner on a variety of ground, but has shown precious little in nine starts for this yard despite a plummeting mark; market should indicate whether a revival is expected. |

Five-time winner over 5f on turf; out of form since joining present yard, but has dropped to a good mark and may do better on return from a break. |

21st May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 16y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Seven turf wins on ground ranging from good to heavy; not in peak form on AW this year but last autumn's wins at Bath (5.5f, heavy) and Leicester (5f, soft) make him of firm interest off this mark. |
9/2 |
|
10th 3 (9) |
20th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
On a difficult mark and has done all of his winning on turf, mostly over shorter than 6f; mixed RPRs since returned to AW; not the percentage call in this competitive race. |
40/1 |
|
4th 2 (3) |
4th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Had a good spell in the mud on turf last autumn but ended his year with a lesser run at Newcastle in November, taking his AW record to 0-8; might be best watched after 97 days off. |

22nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Acts of firm and heavy ground; triple course winner who scored at Wolverhampton (6f, Tapeta) in January but he's been quiet there in last three runs; has bit to prove and needs to rediscover his spark back on turf. |
14/1 |
|
8th 8 (7) |
23rd Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Gained the latest of his nine wins in a C&D handicap in January; good second here next time but his form has cooled in classified events over C&D in last two runs; bit to prove and he needs to get back on track. |

19th May 2026 Good 0m 4f 217y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Has six wins to his name but the last one came in October 2024; second on his return to turf at Windsor (5f, good) and should run well. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 3 (8) |
7th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Two of his three turf wins have come over C&D; solid return to action at Chelmsford in February but he took a backward step at Southwell 12 days ago; William Carson replaces a 7lb claimer; not discounted. |
7/1 |
|
6th 3 (4) |
25th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Consistent 7yo who kept on from the rear for third under James Glennon at Chelmsford (5f) in February, after a layoff; has never run here before but has form on Tapeta at Wolverhampton; can make his presence felt. |

9st 4lb |
5yo mare who recorded her sixth AW win when scoring at Southwell (5f) last month; record of 0-10 on turf but she's 4lb lower back in this sphere and she ran well for a long way at Windsor in August; not ruled out. |

27th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Recent form-figures look less than encouraging but she returned from a short break with a respectable fourth at Windsor and then showed up well for a long way over 6f at Lingfield; now returns to the C&D of her last three successes and she's back to her last winning mark; might be the answer. |

29th Apr 2026 Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |

Eight of his nine wins have been on turf, with the most recent coming at Chepstow (5f, good) last August; weakened late at Wolverhampton 20 days ago and now steps up in grade. |
10/1 |
|
8th 6 (2) |
9th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |

Only one of his nine wins have been on the AW but he posted some solid efforts this winter; third of nine over this C&D 51 days ago and this is his first start since; has claims. |

2nd Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
1-15 but has been running well since returning from seven months off in May, including when second of ten in his only previous start down at this level; beaten just over a length into second of six in a 0-55 handicap over C&D nine days ago and that reads well in this company. |
11/4 |

2nd 4 (6) |
23rd Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 16y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
6f win at Salisbury on his seasonal return last month; series of good runs in defeat since but needs to raise his game judged on latest Bath effort (behind Darkened Edge and lucky to finish in front of Coco Hill). |
4/1 |
|
3rd 9 (9) |
14th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |

Won at Salisbury on his reappearance and he has finished second over 5.7f here on his last two starts; should give it another good go. |

Still a maiden after 17 starts but she's dropped a long way in the weights and was a clear second over C&D (heavy; blinkers added) 11 days ago; that was a bold bid and she looks interesting off same mark here. |

9st 6lb |
Dual Polytrack winner here this year, latterly in 0-50 company; didn't look to have any excuses back on turf (now 0-19) off this mark early in the month and needs more. |
8/1 |

5th 5 (7) |
7th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Took an age to get off the mark, finally opening his account at the 31st attempt in a 1m2f handicap at Lingfield (AW) in January; four runs since, twice finishing second before recording another Lingfield success six weeks ago; still unexposed at this trip and he is effective on turf. |

25th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

Enjoyed a generally consistent winter for Jack Dace over C&D; usually dropped in and a lot will hinge on how he settles early back from six weeks off, and how the race unfolds. |

6th Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
2-45, with the latest win coming at Bath (5.5f, good) last July; tailed off on his return at Salisbury (5f, good to firm; reported to have had a respiratory issue) two weeks ago; has form over this far but others are currently preferred. |
20/1 |

23rd Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has a poor strike-rate and is the only runner who lacks recent match practice, having been absent since last October; best watched unless the market speaks favourably. |
33/1 |

5th 9 (8) |
31st Oct 2024 Soft 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Had a good record at Bath until tailed off here (5f, heavy) last time in first-time blinkers; however, the ground may have been too much and he's back in cheekpieces today; has shown promise on soft going; could go well. |
