10st 3lb |
Two AW wins (at 5f and 6f) last year for Jonathan Portman; has run well off marks in the mid-70s; now a modest 60, having shown very little in four runs for this stable, including a 7f claimer at Dundalk last time; definite chance on his old form; worth a market check. |

Two-time AW winner at 5f-6f for Jonathan Portman; hard to fancy on recent form (blood noted at both nostrils on comeback run), too keen at Ayr latest; first-time tongue-tie. |

9st 7lb |
Two-time AW winner at 5f-6f for Jonathan Portman; blood noted at both nostrils after a poor run at Down Royal (7f) for May's stable debut and he beat one home back there (5f, also good) having stumbled last time; risky. |

Still short of his best form but last month's midfield finish at Southwell was a step back in the right direction; 2lb lower today and no surprise to see him in the shake up. |

31st Dec 2024 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Ended losing run at Salisbury in June and he has not run badly on his last three AW starts, third of eight at Southwell 11 days ago (cheekpieces first time, retained); has done the bulk of his racing over 5f but the best effort of his career came when a close third in a Meydan Group 1 over this trip; contender. |

13th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Picked up for 4,000gns from the Hannon yard last autumn after breaking a blood-vessel for the second time in four runs; not much luck and maybe fresh is the time to catch him, going in a first-time hood, but the stiff 6f is a concern (most starts at 5f). |

2nd Sep 2025 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Travelled well but found little for pressure here 11 days ago (5f, good); that was after three months off and he lurks on a dangerous mark; fine on soft. |

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. |

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. |

21st Mar 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 4 |

Dropped away on recent seasonal return; not out of it if back to last year's best but she's unlikely to be left alone up front. |

4th Mar 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Hard-pulling front-runner who can go to her right; her two handicap wins came off slightly lower marks but the drop back from 6f looks in her favour and she'd be a player if able to dictate with a rail on her off-side. |

2nd Dec 2024 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 3 |

Comfortable turf win in August (5f, good) and she has run creditably in defeat twice since; hopes pinned on the step back up in distance sparking a bit extra. |

Only 1lb higher than when beating Colors Of Freedom over C&D last month; solid placed efforts on his last two starts (caught wide over C&D latest) and he should remain competitive. |

16th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |

Won a similar race over C&D for Joanna Mason last month before again not looking to see out 6f next time; too many near-misses for comfort but holds similar claims to Captain Kinsella on Newcastle running four days ago. |

3rd 6 (3) |
12th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Again didn't look to see out 6f last time and is best judged on his previous 0-50 Wolverhampton victory; too many near-misses for comfort prior to that but will rightly be popular. |
