Three-time turf winner who is well treated on AW form as recent as February; has struggled on both turf runs this summer but perhaps the wind operation will have done the trick. |

5th Oct 2023 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Dropped in the weights for this yard and he showed his first sign that he may be ready to capitalise when third of 13 over 7f at Kempton last week (made the running; today's accessories tried for the first time); one to consider dropped further in grade. |

Lurks on a dangerous mark (three-time winner) but is hard to trust on the back of some uninspiring efforts; always a chance that cheekpieces will trigger something. |

1st Oct 2024 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Course regular who has dropped 1lb lower than when making all over C&D (good) in April; far from disgraced when fourth of 12 back here (good) last month; has form on a soft surface; shortlisted. |
10/1 |

4th 5 (4) |
14th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Dominated from the front over C&D (good) off today's mark for Stan Moore in April but not quite in that same form on any of three starts for current stable; others have more pressing claims. |

Dual C&D winner (same race in April the past two seasons), both under aggressive rides; again didn't look to see out 1m2f last time but he'd lost his way prior to that anyway. |

She hasn't kicked on from her promising stable debut at Kempton in April but she's now 9lb lower and a two-month break could have freshened her up; one to take seriously. |

2nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Ended last season with a success but has contrastingly started this campaign in poor form; hasn't won away from Newmarket since 2022; others preferred. |
20/1 |
|
8th 5 (4) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Beaten a long way at Leicester three weeks ago on his first run of the season but heavy reappearance defeats have been a recurring theme in his profile; won over C&D (good to soft) on final outing last year and he's also run well here on fast ground; could bounce back with a big run. |
12/1 |
|
7th 4 (7) |
25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Said goodbye to 2025 with a Newmarket win (6f, good to soft) in November; has won on good to firm but he missed a recent intended return on the surface and this might be needed anyway (soundly beaten here last April). |

Has gained both wins at 7f but last two efforts suggest she's worth this drop to 6f; however, whether she's up to defying top weight on first crack at sprinting is another matter. |
14/1 |
|
5th 4 (1) |
7th Nov 2022 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Two 7f wins at Lingfield (Polytrack) from her first eight starts but she didn't fire when back from a short break at Kempton last month; still 2lb higher than for last win in July and she needs to kick on again to defy this mark. |

1st Oct 2022 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |

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. |

Won twice as a 2yo when trained by George Boughey; started out for this yard with two creditable efforts in May but she ran poorly at Carlisle a fortnight ago; drops into 0-70 company but others are more appealing. |

5th Jun 2025 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |

Acts well over C&D but hasn't been back here since impressive win in 2023; on a handy mark and of interest after a good Leicester run in May, with Oisin Murphy a rare booking for the yard (0-1 in last five years). |

2nd 6 (1) |
25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Should be all the better for her Doncaster reappearance and she's back on the same mark as for her Windsor success (6f, good to firm) last June; however, all her turf wins have come there and at Salisbury and this is the first time she's run on this track. |
9/2 |

6th 5 (1) |
29th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |

Has gained all turf wins at Salisbury and Windsor but appears effective at Doncaster, having finished 2l third off 4lb higher in this race on reappearance last year; each-way shout. |
