11th Mar 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

Has form in better races than this but he's on a losing run now and failed to benefit from a drop to this level at Southwell (6f) last month; needs revival back over 7f on course debut. |

Losing run up to 16, but he has winning form over C&D and drops to this level for the first time; not beaten far the last twice and a major player on these terms; cheekpieces removed. |

Had looked exposed but the drop back to 6f saw him land a 6f Class 5 event at Lingfield 11 days ago; only 2lb higher and although he's drawn wide, he is likely to be dropped in; could rate higher as a sprinter. |

First 7f win at Newmarket in May; just 1-22 on the AW but this surface suits and he was unlucky in his sole C&D run, when runner-up in September, and looks well worth another go back over this trip. |

All bar one of his seven wins has come over 6f, but he has finished runner-up in both goes over this trip including here; still 6lb above his last winning mark, though, so needs to find a bit more. |

2nd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Did best of those in the stands' side group at York (6f, good to firm) in July and then kept on for third of nine at Southwell (6f, AW) 27 days ago despite not getting the best of passages; now down to a career-low mark and this dual C&D winner should appreciate stepping back up in trip. |
7/2 |

3rd 1 (7) |
6th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
He's struggled to get competitive on turf on his four starts since May, albeit he fared best in the near-side group at York a fortnight ago; Tapeta seems to be his preferred surface and he's 5lb lower than when going close at Wolverhampton (7f) in February; no surprise to see a big run. |

Veteran with 18 wins on his CV, including over C&D; last success was from the front at Redcar (6f, good to firm) in May but he's been well held in both runs since; bit to prove again but has possibilities if he can bounce back. |

15th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Eight-time AW winner but he's 1-21 on turf; placed a couple of times this season, including over C&D (good to firm) in April, but he's not easy to predict and was out the back at Doncaster last time; has another switch of headgear and he comes with risks attached. |
9/2 |

8th 6 (9) |
20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 5 |

A dual 6f scorer last season; comes here on the back of a good third of eight in 6f Leicester handicap last month so needs considering. |

3rd 4 (4) |
25th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

He has a much better strike-rate on AW than turf and was well beaten over C&D last time; however, prior to that he was second of six at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm) and is not written off today. |

All three wins on Tapeta, the latest over 5f here a year ago; now 6lb lower, but he has finished out of the frame in all eight starts since that success so doubts over whether he can take advantage. |

10th Nov 2023 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Form dipped sharply the last twice, so needs to bounce back in a major way; however, looks difficult to dismiss, having scored over C&D (off 3lb lower) on last AW appearance. |

20th Oct 2023 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Smart earlier in career, when acting on soft; revived since wind surgery, winning on AW then a luckless third at Beverley (5f, good); however, he finished nearer last than first at Ayr since and left on the same mark. |

Ended a losing run with a front-running 6f win at Thirsk in April; not so good since but he is well drawn to attack and this track suits his aggressive racing style; one to take seriously. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Belatedly added to her 2021 nursery win with narrow success at Southwell (6f; first-time tongue-tie) last month; this race is much more competitive, though, and she needs to prove she can cope with the drop back to 5f. |

Pipped So Smart in the final strides at Chepstow in July (5f, good to soft) and he's 2lb better off with that rival today; subsequent Leicester run (6f) less convincing but returning to a stiff 5f should suit, especially with a fast pace looking assured. |

Better with each of his three runs back from almost a year off, latterly on his first crack at this trip a month ago; that gave something to build on off the same mark. |
