6th Jan 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 2 |

Well below par in two races (elsewhere) since returned to AW but could revive back at Wolverhampton; has form figures of 7112441 over C&D, most recently defying a 2lb higher mark last March; not dismissed. |

7f specialist who has to put a moderate effort at Southwell last time behind him, but is back off the same mark as when gaining his third Wolverhampton success back in March; has gone close on Polytrack and shouldn't be far away. |

6th Aug 2023 Good To Soft 0m 7f 127y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Well beaten on both Chester runs this season but one was her reappearance and the other was a tough Listed assignment; in between she went close at Haydock and she was a two-time course winner last year (7f, soft/good to soft); could go well now back in a handicap in first-time cheekpieces. |

27th May 2023 Good To Firm 0m 7f 37y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Disappointing on reappearance at Chester a fortnight ago, especially as she has a good record fresh and likes that track and soft ground; however, perhaps she needed the run this time around and she's run really well on all three previous visits to Haydock; not ruled out. |

23rd Jan 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Ended long losing run with a last-gasp win at Lingfield (1m) three weeks ago and he was only narrowly denied on his return visit 11 days ago; on same mark here and has possibilities if this sets up for his closing style. |
5/1 |
|

31st Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
9yo who is without a win since October 2023; ran four times last winter, best effort on first occasion and he's often gone well after other breaks, so he needs a second look off this career-low mark. |

17th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Fairly useful on his day but is on a long losing sequence and current mark reflects a general decline in his form; a regular at Newcastle and rarely seen at Wolverhampton. |

6th 6 (2) |
19th Feb 2026 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Losing run stretches back to December 2023; ran okay over C&D in November off a 7lb higher mark but he hasn't built on it since. |

30th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |

31st Oct 2022 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Two wind surgeries in 2022 haven't been enough to see him put his head in front and he has generally been well short of his best; not beaten far at Wolverhampton a fortnight ago but others in this field are more appealing; new headgear today. |

28th Sep 2022 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |

Has gained all wins on AW, the most recent here last December, and could stage a revival back on this surface; however, holds weak claims on 2022 form and others are more appealing on this year's evidence. |

7th Apr 2023 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Has proved consistent since switched to the AW last autumn, regaining winning form at Newcastle (1m2f, Tapeta) last time out; 3lb higher but no problem with the return to this trip; each-way shout. |
15/2 |
|
1st 2 (2) |
23rd Feb 2023 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
2-17 with his latest win a short head success at Wolverhampton (9.5f, Tapeta) in November; has run with credit in his five outings since including when second of seven back at Wolverhampton (1m4f) last time, but he stayed that trip well so may not want this to turn into a dawdle. |
7/4 |
|
2nd 3 (5) |
7th Feb 2023 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Has a modest strike-rate for this yard, his wins coming at 7f on turf in 2021 and over about 1m1f here in November, but he didn't get the ideal passage when a staying-on fifth upped to this trip at Kempton 19 days ago; probably capable of better over 1m4f. |

27th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Five-time AW winner (6f/7f), who scored at Kempton in January and at Chelmsford in March; no joy in last four runs but he's had another wind operation and it wouldn't be a surprise if he made a bold bid on this return to AW. |
12/1 |
|
5th 8 (10) |
4th Aug 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Has only ever placed once on turf, that coming over C&D (good to firm) a year ago, and isn't as good as on the AW but he is handicapped accordingly; didn't look to have any excuses here six weeks ago and today's slower ground may not be optimal. |
6/1 |

4 (4) |
21st Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Two front-running wins on Polytrack earlier in the year and ran as well as could have been expected in better company last time; currently rated a stone lower on turf (for a good reason) but did go close over C&D last July off a 4lb lower mark. |

11st 6lb |
Made all in small-field novice handicap hurdle at Southwell (2m4f, heavy; comfortably off 6lb lower) four weeks ago, adding to his Flat wins; possibilities provided he's just as effective over fences; tongue-tie applied. |

30th Aug 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Drops into a Class 6 for the first time on the AW, but has been running poorly lately and his record of 1-30 is another negative; needs the blinkers and returning tongue-tie to make a big difference. |

9th 8 (7) |
15th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Sole win in 29 starts came over two years ago and hasn't been at best on last three starts, remains to be seen whether drop back to 5f will be in his favour. |

3rd Oct 2024 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Comes with major risks attached as he was badly out of form on turf last month and refused to race at Redcar last week, while he's untested beyond about 1m; however, his last two wins have come here and he's dropped to a dangerous mark; not ruled out now back on this track. |

No stranger to the Ayr winners' enclosure, winning five at this track (5f-7f), including this race two years ago; has struggled for form in two 5f spins at Musselburgh this year, which makes him hard to fancy; on the plus side, the handicapper is beginning to give him a chance. |

Betting Forcast
9/2 Street Kid, 10/1 Eagleway, 8/1 Ffion, 14/1 Repertoire, 15/2 Swiss Ace, 25/1 Animal Instinct, 16/1 Dinoo, 10/1 Brunel Charm, 12/1 Aristobulus, 6/1 Buckshaw Village, 9/1 Star Zinc, 16/1 Barneys Bay, 6/1 Desert Land, 14/1 Classy Al
Verdict
Street Kid may confirm Lingfield placings with Ffion and Brunel Charm and he is high on the list, while Buckshaw Village and Star Zinc are interesting among the 3yos. SWISS ACE (nap) bolted up on his last AW run, though, and he should appreciate the return to Tapeta.[Paul Smith]
