Five-time course winner, but he's never scored beyond 1m2f and his last success was in November 2023; well handicapped on his old form but he's been well held in last four starts and latest was over 1m6f here last month; opposable. |

Regained the winning thread at Windsor (11.5f) last month; held off this mark at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW) last week but did enough to suggest he remains in form; could go well. |

Beaten a neck at Kempton (1m4f) on penultimate start and went one better at Windsor (11.4f) 12 days later, his first win for over two years; acts on Tapeta; back up another 2lb but in the mix if that form is repeated. |

9st 4lb |
Back-to-back wins from the front at Newmarket (1m1f, good) and Newcastle (1m2f, AW) last autumn and close third on his return on the AW this February; had excuses on his last two outings and the different headgear he tried last time is repeated; considered. |

9st 10lb |
Back-to-back wins at Newmarket (1m1f, good) and Newcastle (1m2f, AW) last autumn and was close up on his return on the AW over 9.4f; 1m too sharp a test last time and could go well if taking to blinkers (replace cheekpieces). |

Gained back-to-back wins at Newmarket (1m1f, good) and Newcastle (1m2f, Tapeta) last autumn and was beaten less than a length into third of ten in an amateur riders' event at Wolverhampton (9.5f, Tapeta) last time; races off the same mark, but this may be an insufficient test for him now. |

13th Sep 2025 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Has record of 4-10 at Chester and he won this race in 2023; no joy in Bahrain last winter and has mixed record since returned to Britain but he won at Haydock (1m2f, good) in June and was only just caught at Chelmsford last time; remains feasibly treated on his best form and he's respected back at this track. |
4/1 |

7th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Ended a long losing run when scoring off a reduced mark at Haydock (1m2f, good) in June but he dropped right out in his follow-up bid there two weeks later; now drops back in trip but he's not easy to predict and has had only three AW runs in his 42-race career; others preferred. |
13/2 |

5th Jul 2025 Good 1m 3f 175y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Snapped a long losing run and capitalised on a reduced mark over 10.4f here (good) a fortnight ago; enjoyed the run of the race in front and it might be the case this longer trip stretches him nowadays, but he did it nicely last time and remains well treated on old form back up 6lb; not discounted. |

Has worn these cheekpieces the last twice; inconsistent 9yo who was disappointing at Ayr (1m2f, good) last time but prior to that he was a good second over this C&D (soft) and he's capable bouncing back from a poor run; has won over C&D and is versatile ground-wise; not written off. |

All five wins have been at this track (9.4f) but losing spell goes back to April 2022 and he's been quiet in his three runs this winter; mark continues to fall but he's 0-8 at this trip and others are more convincing. |

1st Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Seven AW wins include one over C&D, and his two most recent 7f runs, here in February and at Southwell 11 days ago, were up there with his best efforts over the last year; likely to need extra from a high draw though. |

Winless in 18 months and has regressed in recent times; quite happy on Tapeta but most wins have come after a recent outing and he's been off since a poor one on turf in March. |

Tongue tied last three starts, back to some form on latest when coming from the back for fourth of nine at Beverley (8.4f, good to firm); needs to build on that and peak 2022 form gives hope. |

Tongue tied last two starts, 20-1 latterly when last of 14 on recent reappearance; each-way chance if she reverts to her best form of 2022 but she is unraced on firmer than good. |

Five turf wins include last year at the Curragh and when bolting up off 70 at Leopardstown in October; didn't count on seasonal return at the Curragh over a short enough trip; drops in class and upped to more suitable trip so has to be considered. |

Difficult to win with in recent years, now 7lb lower than when last successful at Southwell (1m) in August 2024; met trouble when sixth (beaten over 4l) here on penultimate start, but latest Leicester effort was less encouraging. |

Won at Newcastle in 2021 but came last at Wolverhampton in 2022 on his only other AW start, both on Tapeta; had turf wins last year at Windsor in May, Newbury in June and in Hungary in September, before two minor honours at Newmarket in the autumn; ran respectably on both attempts at 1m6f (last summer) but has more to prove going beyond that for the first time. |
