1st 7 (3) |
25th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |
8st 7lb |
Nine wins on AW; scored at Bath on penultimate outing but is only 2-23 on turf and latest effort confirms that marks in the 80s are probably beyond him, at least nowadays, in this sphere. |
11/2 |
|
3rd 1 (4) |
25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Has a better strike-rate on AW than turf but he's capable of useful 6f form on grass and made short work of his rivals at Bath (extended 5f, good) last week; now 6lb higher but this mark isn't beyond him on past exploits; would have welcomed rain but still considered. |
5/1 |
|
1st 3 (12) |
17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Nine-time AW winner who won three in a row during the winter and was a creditable fifth in Class 3 at Lingfield (6f, Polytrack) two weeks ago; record of 1-21 on turf but he's on a lower mark in this sphere and he had a close call at Windsor last autumn; dangerous. |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Won last season's Great St Wilfrid at Ripon off a 7lb higher mark; didn't run badly at Nottingham (5f, good) on penultimate start and a wide draw offers an excuse at Chester since. |
33/1 |
|
10th 13 (12) |
8th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Won last season's Great St Wilfrid at Ripon off a 5lb higher mark; didn't run badly at Nottingham 12 days ago (5f, good) but he has a double-figure stall to contend with and could prove vulnerable. |
16/1 |
|
4th 9 (6) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
Has a better strike-rate on AW than on turf and has done all his winning over 6f/7f; inconsistent since last success; 0-12 over 5f and doesn't look the answer. |

4th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Busy since the autumn; some narrow defeats to go with three 5f wins, on Polytrack elsewhere and Tapeta; ran flat at Southwell recently but he's realistically weighted if that wasn't a sign that he's going off the boil. |
9/2 |
|
6th 5 (2) |
21st May 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Three wins in the winter, including over C&D, and he has continued to run well off his revised mark; drawn wide on turf last time and usually gives his running round here, so holds each-way claims. |
12/1 |
|
6th 3 (1) |
9th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 4f 217y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Nine wins on the AW but just 1-28 on turf; fit from a productive winter campaign but he's drawn on the outside and others are more appealing. |

26th Jan 2023 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Still has low mileage; gelded prior to creditable efforts over 6f at Wolverhampton and Southwell this winter, finishing fourth both times; may do better still and enters calculations. |
5/1 |
|
4th 8 (9) |
15th Jan 2023 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Won a 6f maiden on Polytrack on his second start; career-best RPR when fourth of ten at Wolverhampton (6f) on his return last month (first start after a gelding operation) from a nine-month break; still low mileage and his yard are going well. |
14/1 |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
His last turf success came over this C&D (good) but back in April 2022; this is his level now but others are more appealing for win purposes. |
20/1 |
|
8th 12 (6) |
1st May 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
8st 4lb |
Five-time C&D winner; unable to justify favouritism in a 0-55 here 11 days ago and he has more on his plate at this level. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 6 (6) |
20th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Five AW wins but losing run is mounting up; needs a fast pace to aim at and is slipping down the weights; likely to come good again one of these days. |

19th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Three-time course winner who's been in good form here this spring; no obvious reason he won't go well again, having split Lord Capulet and King's School last month, but there's not much room for manoeuvre off this mark. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 6 (5) |
1st May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Close up behind Beale Street here in March (6f) and produced a similar effort from off the pace to be runner-up over C&D 11 days ago; needs a good pace to chase (stays 1m) and no guarantee that he'll get one here. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 6 (1) |
20th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
His last three wins have been at Newcastle and he produced a powerful finish when going close in a Class 4 here (6f) last month; looks interesting off only 1lb higher on this drop back in grade and his last success was over C&D. |

13th Sep 2023 Good To Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |

Got his head back in front at Yarmouth (5f, good to firm) but was entitled to run better next time at Newmarket when good to soft ground was no excuse; bit to prove on the back of that. |

Course winner who won at Musselburgh (5f) in April and went close at Hamilton next time; however, his subsequent form hasn't been up to scratch and he has to raise his game. |

9st 10lb |
Won three times (5f/6f) on the AW last autumn/winter and he's equally good on turf; however, he's not known for his reliability and his last two efforts have been poor ones; bit to prove after an absence. |
14/1 |

3rd Mar 2023 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 3 |

Deserves some credit for winning three times this autumn/winter, including here; however, the negative is his inconsistency, as reflected in his form figures; not entirely sure what to expect. |

Gained three 6f wins on the AW last spring but he went off the boil and refused to race in the Ayr Silver Cup on his final outing; hard to see him breaking his turf duck after eight months off. |
25/1 |
|
11 (7) |
20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
He had a very good run on AW in the spring, winning three in a row over 6f, but was last to finish on his latest start in May; it's hard to see him breaking his turf duck off an 18lb higher mark than his most recent defeat on grass in June 2024. |
