3rd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Back to winning ways in a C&D classified event in July; similar form back here in handicap company two weeks ago; a good early pace would play to his strengths. |

6th 11 (11) |
20th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Hardly prolific but he has six C&D wins on his record, the latest three weeks ago when coming from off the pace to win decisively in 0-50 classified company; this is tougher but we know he's capable when in top form. |

1st Mar 2024 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Won three times at Chelmsford when trained by James Tate; the return to AW has prompted further progress for her new stable and having seen off Aramis Grey at Wolverhampton she ran on well to score at Newcastle on New Year's Day; latest 3lb rise unlikely to prove beyond her. |

Up just 2lb for half-length win at Wolverhampton (6f) four weeks ago; now 4-11 on AW and can remain competitive provided she's as effective back up in trip; mixed record (1547) over 7f. |

19th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
His last win was at Windsor 13 months ago but that was off 13lb higher and he finished a close third over C&D (good to firm) on his penultimate run; has possibilities if he can recapture that form and he won't mind what the weather does. |
15/2 |

15th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |

Won at Windsor last April off a mark 12lb higher than today's and he took a step back in the right direction when a close-up third at Nottingham (5f) a week ago; claims if building on that now returned to the AW. |

21st Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
C&D winner who hasn't shown much lately, but is back off the same mark as when successful at Lingfield (6f, Polytrack) in February and is better drawn than he was back here last time; worth a second look, especially if backed. |
10/1 |

8th 11 (11) |
1st Jun 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Took advantage of a sliding mark round Lingfield in the winter (last four wins come there but is fine on Tapeta); off the boil since and this is a bit tougher; would want to see some support tonight. |
20/1 |

11th 3 (1) |
21st May 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
In good form at Lingfield during the winter and is a bit of specialist over 6f there (112121), but he has won over this C&D; latest Kempton effort not hard to forgive given his record at that track and could easily bounce back; shortlisted. |

31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 16y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
All ground seems to come alike to him and he gained his second C&D success (good to firm) last month, but a 4lb rise appeared to anchor him in his two outings since; may need the returning visor to perk him up a bit. |
5/1 |
|
7th 6 (9) |
28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Prominent racer who was well held at Chepstow last time, but that was a Class 4 event and he won that track (5f, good to firm) on his penultimate run; remains well treated on his old form and has claims if he can bounce back on this drop back in grade; acts on fast and soft ground. |
5/1 |

6th 6 (3) |
6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 16y Class 4 |

24th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 60y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Notched a third win over C&D earlier in the month; that race rather fell into his lap, though, with the leaders going off too hard, and he'll find today's company tougher off a 6lb higher mark; not disgraced, having made late headway, here (6f) on Sunday. |
4/1 |
|
5th 6 (10) |
23rd Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 215y Class 2 |

Multiple course winner, the latest 18 days ago when he was far too strong for five rivals over 5.3f (good to firm); up 6lb in a deeper race but still feasibly weighted. |
13/2 |

1st 3 (7) |
5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Returned to form with narrow win at Chepstow (5f, good to firm) in June; remains on workable mark after 3lb rise and is very well suited by this track (four-time C&D winner) but managed only fifth of six at Bath (5f, firm) three weeks ago and has become unreliable. |

6-21 on AW as opposed to 0-16 on turf; the handicapper has been in command so far this year but he is edging down the weights and may yet come good on grass; refused to race in last season's Ayr Silver Cup. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

6-21 on AW but still seeking a first turf win after 15 attempts; latest Thirsk fourth (6f, good to firm) as good as anything he's produced on the grass but may find at least the odd one too strong again. |

6th 3 (5) |
5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |

Both wins on turf have been on ground slower than good and his last four wins have been on the AW; beat only one rival home at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) 19 days ago and now drops back in trip with promising amateur Henry Callan taking over in the saddle; visor back on. |

Has a better strike-rate on the AW and his last turf win was over two years ago; finished well when runner-up at Catterick (5f, good) in May but he's been quiet since and reared at the start when down the field at Ayr last time; others preferred. |
