9st 2lb |
7yo who is lightly raced for his age and made it 6-12 on AW when winning a competitive C&D handicap over Easter; failed to get heavily involved back on turf at the York Dante meeting since but has to enter calculations now back on AW. |

15th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
7yo who is lightly raced for his age and made it 6-12 on AW when winning a competitive 1m2f handicap at Newcastle last month; achieved very little on turf at the start of his career but he's a different model now and he could be in the shake-up if the return to grass isn't an issue. |

Five AW wins between July 2024 and February 2025, including here; however, he hasn't been at the top of his game on his three starts since November, which puts him down the pecking order today. |

9yo who was down the field at Southwell (1m3f, AW) last time but was running consistently well prior to that; this C&D winner has an each-way chance if bouncing back. |
25/1 |

9th 1 (10) |
28th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 3 |

Hearty strike-rate on turf, adding another in a Racing League race at Yarmouth (1m2f) in July; less of a win machine on AW but both wins have come on this track, over C&D and 1m4f in early 2024, and he was involved in a tight finish back on AW at Wolverhampton two starts ago; not far away. |

Cruised into contention and breezed clear for an easy win over C&D in January when last seen, taking AW record to 3-6 and looking a suitable type for this prize; could well defy a 9lb rise. |

27th Sep 2025 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 2 |
10st 12lb |
Seemingly aided by new tongue-tie since the summer, most notably when keeping on well to score at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) 11 days ago; also suited by 2m but recent 5lb rise might leave him vulnerable in this competitive race. |
9/1 |

16th Sep 2025 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 4 |

Posted sound effort when second at Worcester (2m4f, good) last month but has modest strike-rate in recent years and probably won't be favoured by the forecast rain here; others have more pressing claims. |

31st Aug 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |

Hasn't threatened on the Flat on last two starts but this course winner didn't run badly when mid-division in a higher grade than this over hurdles at Market Rasen (2m, good) last month and today's step back up in trip is well worth a go for one who stays 1m6f on the Flat; interesting. |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 100y |
11st 12lb |
Three-time Flat winner in Britain (1m-1m3f); made promising start to hurdling career on stable debut after 11 months off when landing 2m1f maiden at Killarney 27 days ago, beating Tyson Fury by 4l; jumping was very novicey and needs to improve; form of that race has a solid look to it and he's a leading contender; wouldn't want much rain based on Flat form. |
15/8 |

9th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 0y |

Three-time Flat winner for Marco Botti in Britain; purchased for 89,000gns in August; brings a Flat rating of 89 for his hurdling/stable debut; should be suited by this better ground and of obvious interest given trainer/rider combination. |
5/2 |

16th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 210y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Wore cheekpieces last six starts, winning in late summer last year on first two occasions; a late effort took him from last to fifth of 14 when he made a good reappearance here (1m4f, good to firm) last month but venturing beyond an extended 1m4f for first time provides a huge question mark. |
33/1 |
|
5th 1 (9) |
9th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 211y Class 3 |

The winner of eight of his 22 starts, the latest success coming at Kempton (1m4f) off a 2lb lower mark; ended 2025 with a couple of lesser runs and might be best watched on return. |
33/1 |

6th 1 (3) |
28th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 3 |

9st 7lb |
His last win was two years ago but he's been placed in all three runs this season including close calls over C&D (good to firm) and at Ffos Las (1m2f, good); remains well handicapped on his old form and he should make another bold bid. |
3/1 |

1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |

11st 4lb |
Useful on the Flat at his best and made the frame in two maiden hurdles in April 2025 (both 2m, good); this is his first run since and he doesn't set a daunting form standard but, nevertheless, he's a big player. |

11st 5lb |
Chance on November's Doncaster hurdles second, less so on all which has followed; unexposed in this sphere, with one start over fences compared to the other trio's 41 combined, but none too convincing on that belated chase debut at Wetherby latest (1m7f, good), jumping left and weakening. |

27th Mar 2026 Good 1m 7f 36y Class 4 |

Unable to beat a rival on AW on last two starts but could be a different proposition now back hurdling and back here, as two visits to Doncaster (both C&D) have yielded an easy novice win (good) and a good second in a handicap (soft; in November); very much of interest given record at the track. |

Seven-time winner whose three appearances here have yielded two wins (7f and 1m) back in 2022/2023; also finished runner-up in this race (good to firm) in 2024 and he was back on track when fairly close third of four at Hamilton (1m5f, good to firm) four weeks ago; winner and second have won subsequently and he warrants consideration. |

Bumper and four-time Flat (1m2f/1m4f) winner who is ideally suited by fast ground; respectable fourth on AW when last seen in February and he's on a workable mark back over hurdles; needs close look for in-form yard. |

Out of the frame in all four starts since returned to the AW, but his fifth of ten over 1m2f here in December suggested that all may not be lost; now 6lb lower than for that effort and 8lb lower than when last successful; interesting. |
