Nosed ahead in the final strides to beat Down To The Kid in C&D event three weeks ago, taking record at Southwell to 3-5 and strike-rate under Hector Crouch to 5-8; with those stats he's one for the shortlist. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 195y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Still 5lb below his last winning mark and was having only his third start for the yard when beaten a neck by a much better-fancied stablemate at Catterick (7f, good) eight days ago; already due a 2lb rise for that and no surprise if he steps up again; major player. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 7 (11) |
21st May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Won over C&D (for Declan Carroll) last July and he competes here from a 5lb lower mark; lacked the pace to challenge on first two starts for Ruth Carr (who also saddles Filey Beach) so stepping back up to 7f rates as a positive move; wide draw, yet still merits respect. |
11/2 |

4th 4 (7) |
7th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |

Mixed bag for his former stable but he looked a cut above this level on occasions; joint-favourite for his stable/seasonal debut at Thirsk 19 days ago and ran on for a never-dangerous fifth; he will need to build on that effort to win here but that is not out of the question. |

21st Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

Wolverhampton specialist who doesn't run often on turf these days and rarely goes this far; not in much form on the AW this year and isn't obviously fancied. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Has done nothing but progress since the visor went on, winning five of his last eight starts (including C&D) and going up 31lb in the weights; off for eight months since winning at Goodwood in September and will need another career-best off this mark. |
8/1 |

1st 1 (1) |
24th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Has won four of his last seven starts at 6f, on AW then back on turf at Doncaster (good to firm) in June; up 7lb but it was a solid sixth of 22 at York (good) in July, when he raced away from the main action; drying ground would be a likely positive and he's firmly in the picture. |

Three-time course winner who's regressed since two victories last August, latterly when behind four of tonight's rivals over C&D; only holds outside claims. |

9th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |

Won a Chelmsford handicap (5f) last August but he's 0-9 since and hasn't threatened in classified events in his last three runs; has good draw back on Tapeta but he needs to raise his game. |

Veteran who is 9-46 on the AW and 0-21 on grass, but he has become dangerously well handicapped on the pick of his turf form last year; should find this race is run to suit. |

9th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Nine-time AW winner, with the latest success coming at Lingfield (5f, AW) last February; ran well when a close third of nine there 20 days ago and the return of a visor is a positive (last three wins have came in a visor). |
7/1 |

3rd 8 (5) |
20th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |

Three-time Wolverhampton 7f winner who rarely runs on turf or in sprints these days; usually has plenty of use made of him but whether he'll be able to hold a pitch, down in trip from the outside stall, remains to be seen. |

25th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
9yo who returned to form when third at Southwell (1m, AW) last month and built on it to win at Doncaster (7f, good to soft) nine days ago; he should be fine on today's better ground and is respected up just 3lb. |
9/2 |

1st 10 (11) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Seven of his nine wins have been on AW but he's well handicapped on some runner-up efforts on turf last season; has mixed record since his last success 12 months ago but he was placed at Southwell (1m) last time and has claims if he can build on that. |
16/1 |

3rd 7 (5) |
29th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Has won five times here; a line can be put through his most recent C&D run and he didn't get any peace out in front at Nottingham 11 days ago (weakened into eighth of ten); it wouldn't be the biggest surprise to see him bounce back (there is possible competition for the lead but no other out-and-out front-runners). |

Turf maiden (0-13) who has gained four 7f wins on AW, the most recent of which was at Lingfield in March; twice placed during the summer, losing out by a neck (third) at Salisbury on penultimate start; returns from a break. |

Four-time winner on the AW and 0-12 on turf, but was only beaten a head and a short head into third of 13 in an amateur riders' event at Salisbury (7f, good to firm) ten days ago; 1lb higher, but still shortlisted. |

23rd Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 213y Class 6 |

Can lead; four AW wins at 7f but 0-11 on turf and the way he was finishing at Brighton in May suggests he won't be one of the stronger finishers with extra emphasis on stamina on this track. |
