13th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 10lb |
Steadily progressive over 6f, mostly in handicaps prior to showing bigger things this season by bagging Listed honours at Doncaster (good to soft) and finishing a good second in Group 3 at Newmarket (good); at the top of his form and may rate higher still; in the mix. |
9/1 |

2nd 1 (12) |
16th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
Steadily progressive, mostly in handicaps, throughout his career; won by 1l going away from Jasour in Listed event at Doncaster (6f, good to soft) on seasonal debut, looking better than ever and taking record to 6-23; solid second in both C&D starts; enters calculations upped further in grade. |

28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 2y Class 1 |
9st 10lb |
Notably tough and consistent in handicaps, posting another personal best when winning narrowly at Ascot (6f, soft) last October; this Listed event requires another step up the ladder but he always gives his all and it's not out of the question. |

Resurgent 5yo who won at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) in September before a close call at Wolverhampton the following month; this is tougher back in a Class 2 but he remains well handicapped on his best form and is not ruled out. |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Won last season's Great St Wilfrid at Ripon off a 7lb higher mark; didn't run badly at Nottingham (5f, good) on penultimate start and a wide draw offers an excuse at Chester since. |
33/1 |

10th 13 (12) |
8th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Won last season's Great St Wilfrid at Ripon off a 5lb higher mark; didn't run badly at Nottingham 12 days ago (5f, good) but he has a double-figure stall to contend with and could prove vulnerable. |
16/1 |

4th 9 (6) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
Has a better strike-rate on AW than on turf and has done all his winning over 6f/7f; inconsistent since last success; 0-12 over 5f and doesn't look the answer. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
6yo mare who sprang a 22-1 surprise in Listed race at Bath (5f, good) in April, swooping fast and late; likeable type with an impressive strike-rate but she'll need another personal best under a penalty. |
10/1 |
|
1st 3 (11) |
5th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
Back to something approaching her best when winning a 14-runner handicap at Southwell last September (blinkered first time); may have needed the run back at Southwell last month (first run for 164 days); she'll do well to win but a minor placing isn't out of the question. |
25/1 |
|
6th 4 (8) |
4th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Gained her first turf success at Redcar (5f, good to firm) last June and made it 5-10 on the AW when landing a handicap in first-time blinkers over this C&D in September; off since but she holds good claims on this surface off this 4lb higher mark. |

14th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Front-runner who won twice over 6f at Southwell last year when trained by Robert Cowell, the most recent coming in October off 2lb higher; visor worn on his final start for that yard is left off for this stable debut (bought for 9,500gns). |
10/1 |

4th 1 (5) |
7th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Front-runner whose three wins for David Simcock, including here, came over 7f; added two more victories over this trip round Southwell last autumn but not at best since and the first-time visor will need to help over tonight's easier 6f. |

4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 7y Class 5 |

Has only won on Tapeta and spends a lot of his time at Newcastle; finished well behind in his last two races on turf. |
10/1 |

12th 10 (13) |
17th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Wins have all come on Tapeta and does most racing now at Newcastle; decent second there last time, back up from 5f, but this is stronger and he's far from certain to repeat the effort. |

1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Multiple AW winner; quirky sort who often starts slowly but he finally got off the mark (in a change of headgear) on turf in 5f Goodwood handicap last month; up 3lb but he can make his presence felt again. |
4/1 |
|
1st 2 (6) |
2nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
All seven wins have been on AW; record of 0-16 on turf but he was only beaten a nose off this mark at Bath (5f, firm) on Monday; has leading claims if he can repeat that form and he's versatile ground-wise; regular hood is removed and cheekpieces return. |
11/4 |
|
2nd 1 (7) |
27th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |

Multiple AW winner; hindered by being hampered on Good Friday last time; 0-15 on turf but ran creditably (finished second) in this race last year; place claims off same mark. |

12th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Three-time C&D winner, including twice off higher marks in the month of April; unlucky third, having found daylight too late, in this race 12 months ago; soft ground was against him here last weekend; likely player if the cards drop right. |
10/1 |
|
9th 6 (8) |
4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Below best on latest course start in October but has a strong C&D record otherwise, three wins include this race (good to soft) last year; now 2lb lower and primed for a good run if he avoids trouble in running. |
9/2 |
|
7th 10 (4) |
20th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Hasn't won as often as one of his ability probably should but he did score twice in 2025, the latter win over C&D; 3lb higher in a better race this time and he'll need to be somewhere near last year's best to take this after four months off. |

18th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 4 |

Gained his sixth win at Chester (5.5f, soft) last month; well beaten at York last month but turning tracks seem to bring out the best in him (has a win and second from only three visits here); not discounted. |

18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Versatile trip-wise and six of his 12 wins have come at Windsor; on same mark as for his Sandown win last autumn and he's been running well on AW this spring; should get a good tow into this race and he's in the mix back at this track. |
11/2 |

3rd 3 (1) |
28th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
No AW win since December 2021 but there have been some good runs on both Polytrack and Tapeta this year, including C&D, and yesterday's 6f second was another sound display; wasn't helping his rider under pressure on that occasion and opposable for win purposes. |

19th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Three-time course winner who's been in good form here this spring; no obvious reason he won't go well again, having split Lord Capulet and King's School last month, but there's not much room for manoeuvre off this mark. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 6 (5) |
1st May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Close up behind Beale Street here in March (6f) and produced a similar effort from off the pace to be runner-up over C&D 11 days ago; needs a good pace to chase (stays 1m) and no guarantee that he'll get one here. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 6 (1) |
20th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
His last three wins have been at Newcastle and he produced a powerful finish when going close in a Class 4 here (6f) last month; looks interesting off only 1lb higher on this drop back in grade and his last success was over C&D. |

5th Oct 2024 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Looked a smart prospect when running away with a Kempton novice last November (6f) and again when making all at Doncaster on his handicap debut in May (6f, good to firm; hooded first time); low-key runs twice since (Royal Ascot on first occasion) but the potential remains for a bigger effort at some point; stall 12 not ideal though. |
