2nd 4 (8) |
5th Apr 2024 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Struggled in his last three runs during a light campaign last year but he was an emphatic front-running winner over C&D on his seasonal return last May; comes with risks attached but he still has low mileage and is a player if he can get back near best after 232 days off. |

Well backed on seasonal return at Lingfield (1m, AW) and landed the money in effortless style; 1m4f next time didn't suit and he was only fourth at Chelmsford eight weeks ago having made the running back at 1m; needs to bounce back to his best. |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has plenty of form over C&D including two wins; losing run up to 18, but he has never raced down at this level before so can't be dismissed by any means; stable also runs Sorted. |
5/1 |
|
6th 2 (4) |
13th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |

Has done all his winning at about 1m, including four times at Bath; has bits of 1m2f form but doesn't look the percentage call; losing run is mounting up. |
8/1 |

4th May 2026 Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Four C&D wins on good or slower (handles good to firm, not at best in one run on firm); not at his best this year but that is reflected in his much-reduced mark; risky but not impossible. |

Has failed to score this term (runner-up three starts ago) but now drops in class off 15lb below her last winning mark; holds clear possibilities at this level, provided she turns up in decent form. |

25th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Dual 7f course winner; 7f wins at Doncaster and Yarmouth last month, the latter off 7lb lower, but he wasn't suited by a modestly run race at the former track ten days ago; left the impression he's still in form and he holds claims returned to 1m. |
8/1 |

8th 5 (12) |
15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Ended a losing run over C&D in July and quickly followed up with comfortable success in 7f Yarmouth handicap 18 days ago; up another 7lb now but very much one to consider in his hat-trick bid. |
4/1 |

1st 2 (5) |
28th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Had his ideal combination of fast ground and a strong pace when back to winning form at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) ten days ago; only 2lb higher and much respected if this pans out in a similar way, which looks a possibility. |

13th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Has won at Wolverhampton (9.4f, Tapeta) in four of his last six starts, including a comfortable success from a wide draw three weeks ago; up another 4lb but he still looks feasibly treated and this return to Polytrack should be fine; big player in hat-trick bid. |
4/1 |
|
1st 2 (13) |
21st Jul 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Made it 3-3 over C&D when winning off a 3lb lower mark five weeks ago (ridden from off the pace by Jack Callan that night and may be again from stall 13); stable flying this month, with seven winners from its last 15 runners at the start of the day, and he holds good claims. |
6/1 |
|
1st 4 (4) |
16th Jun 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Currently 2-2 over C&D and 2-2 in cheekpieces (again off tonight) following wins here in April; excuses off his revised mark since and he is one to consider back on Tapeta. |

Three hurdle wins this season, most recently when given a nicely judged Joe Anderson ride from off the pace over C&D (good) 12 days ago; 4lb rise is not excessive but the ground may have turn against him now. |

30th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
11-time AW winner, the latest a Newcastle seller for the Moores (1m, Tapeta) last October; regressive for this yard in the meantime despite plummeting in the weights; best watched unless the market suggests otherwise. |
11/1 |
|
10th 7 (12) |
7th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |

11-time AW winner; quiet for Chelsea Banham this year but dropping down the weights and he is one of four runners on the card for connections that all require close market surveillance. |
9/1 |

9th 13 (1) |
20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
11-time AW winner but he's been out of sorts for new yard since December and was last of eight over C&D last time; mark is tumbling but he has lots to prove and needs a major revival. |

4th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Back on the mark he defied over 1m6f at Wolverhampton in March but recent efforts haven't been obviously encouraging, for all the 7f trip of the Buckingham Palace at Royal Ascot is almost certainly too short for him these days. |
33/1 |
|
19th 27 (27) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Effective at 7f earlier in career but seems to need much further now and gained last three wins over 1m4f/1m6f (stays 2m); still has a much better strike-rate on AW than on turf in any case and looks unlikely to figure in this hot prize, back down sharply in distance. |
66/1 |
|
9th 6 (11) |
3rd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Moving up to 1m4f worked well in December and comparable form at 1m6f/2m since, including another win three starts back; he's come up a bit short in warmer races this year, though, including behind Align The Stars at Kempton, and none of his turf form (admittedly at up to 1m2f) is close to this mark. |

9st 9lb |
Four-time C&D winner, the latest last July when 1lb lower; has been well beaten in both subsequent starts, the latter back here last November; bit to prove after that but dangerous to rule him out. |
10/1 |

10th 2 (3) |
6th Nov 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
All four of his wins have come over C&D, the latest off 2lb lower in July (good Topspeed figure for the grade); unsighted behind Dourado on turf in July but likely to be seen in a more favourable light here. |
