Good strike-rate on AW includes a Listed sprint double at Lingfield this year; has lots of good form on turf, including very close third in this race two years ago and respectable fourth in Newmarket Group 3 last time; still a maiden (0-19) in this sphere, however. |

Good strike-rate on AW includes a Listed sprint double at Lingfield this year, sharing the spoils with Completely Random on reappearance; similar to that rival, looks far from guaranteed to maintain the form back on turf; 0-18 in this sphere. |

Smart on turf but AW is his thing and he added another Listed win to his tally when dead-heating in the Kachy Stakes (6f) here three weeks ago; has a penalty to shoulder but that was also the case when he won the corresponding race in 2024 (run at Southwell); a lower draw would have been preferable but he looks set to go well again. |

9st 5lb |
Coolmore cast-off who gained his first win for this yard when seeing off three rivals in a Windsor handicap in May (5f, good to firm); creditable effort in the Gosforth Park Cup seven weeks ago; conditions shouldn't be an issue but he's likely vulnerable to something lower down the weights. |

Disappointing at Doncaster 12 days ago but he's capable of bouncing back from a poor run, which is what happened when he won at Windsor (5f) last month; close second over 6f here in February and not discounted. |

Four-time AW winner, only 1-27 on grass; never the slightest threat on return to turf at Leicester; others have more convincing profiles. |

25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 7lb |
Four-time AW winner who has finished close up on Tapeta (5f/6f) in his last three runs; record of 1-26 on turf but he's on a lower mark in this sphere and he ran well in the Great St Wilfrid at Ripon (6f, good to firm) last summer; dangerous. |

Three-time C&D winner, including this race in 2024 off a 2lb higher mark, and he has shaped well on his last two starts; he will need luck if it gets congested up the stands' rail but too much ability to rule out. |

Recorded back-to-back C&D wins last October (the second off 3lb lower) but the wheels came off in his hat-trick bid in November; back from 161 days off with a point to prove. |

8st 12lb |
Two turf wins over 6f last year; stepped up on his Newcastle reappearance when readily seeing off eight rivals at Southwell in January; dropped away in the final furlong at Newcastle last month but this mark probably not beyond him judged on the Southwell win; one of three runners for Karl Burke. |

Created a favourable impression when easily winning a Catterick maiden and a Doncaster novice last summer (both 6f); got left behind in the final furlong on his seasonal/handicap debut at Newcastle four weeks ago but he may have needed that first run for six months; still needs a personal best to take this. |

8st 9lb |
Won big-field handicaps over C&D (good to firm) and at Goodwood (5f, good) last July, and this 9yo returned from wind surgery with a back-to-form, neck second at Thirsk (5f, good to firm) 12 days ago; Harry Vigors removes a valuable 7lb and this prominent-racer could be bang there once more. |

2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |

Narrowly landed big-field events at York and Goodwood last July, both for Warren Fentiman; ended the year quietly but he has had a wind op since last seen and is only 1lb higher than for the Goodwood win. |

23rd Sep 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
July yielded big-field 5f wins at York and Goodwood but two runs since have been underwhelming; return to Class 4 company asks a less-demanding question of him and he has won four times on Newcastle's Tapeta; a revival is quite possible. |

Established trailblazer who is 4-14 over C&D and looked to be on the way back when third of nine at Musselburgh (5f, good) at the start of the month; didn't back it up at York (5f, good to firm) next time but this is weaker; best watched for now. |

Ran away with this race in 2022 and went on to show smart form on both turf and AW in the next 12 months; not stood a lot of racing since but he showed he retained ability at Musselburgh 13 days ago; this is a much stronger contest but he couldn't be discounted with confidence. |

Won a Listed event (5f, good) at York's Dante meeting in 2022 but he's been disappointing since and failed to beat a rival in his two runs last year; now 15lb lower than for his peak mark but has plenty to prove for new yard after 427 days off; visor removed. |

Listed winner at York (5f, good) last May; however, his form went the wrong way subsequently and there was no revival at Newcastle (AW) in February on his first run since being gelded; unproven on slow ground. |
