1st 1 (11) |
16th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Having dropped 1lb below his last winning mark he returned to form when third of 13 over C&D a fortnight ago (good to firm; Final Night second); he can be in the mix back up 1lb if backing up that latest performance. |
8/1 |

3rd 8 (2) |
2nd May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Fine stable servant with 11 wins to his name, although recent efforts have been underwhelming; only seventh of ten at the Craven meeting here and he needs to be revived by the presence of Ryan Moore in the saddle. |
18/1 |
|
7th 9 (7) |
14th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Record of 8-42 on turf, the most recent win at Doncaster (7f, good to soft) last July; finished last on his AW return in March and no impact when beaten 10l in Doncaster's Spring Mile a fortnight later, but he's won over 1m and there's nothing wrong with this mark. |

18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Versatile trip-wise and six of his 12 wins have come at Windsor; on same mark as for his Sandown win last autumn and he's been running well on AW this spring; should get a good tow into this race and he's in the mix back at this track. |
11/2 |
|
3rd 3 (1) |
28th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
No AW win since December 2021 but there have been some good runs on both Polytrack and Tapeta this year, including C&D, and yesterday's 6f second was another sound display; wasn't helping his rider under pressure on that occasion and opposable for win purposes. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 2 (1) |
27th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Into the veteran stage now and it's a long time since his latest AW win but he made the frame over C&D two starts ago and kept on well for second behind a next-time-out winner at Wolverhampton (6f) on his most recent outing. |

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. |

Made a winning stable debut at Wolverhampton in December (6f), overcoming a 448-day absence in the process; he hasn't kicked on from that in three runs since and connections now reach for cheekpieces. |

18th Oct 2023 Heavy 0m 5f 8y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Defied higher marks twice on home soil in 2021 and won in Bahrain last December; 0-12 this year but posted encouraging efforts the last twice, latest when 1l second at York (soft) last Friday; could well go one better. |
5/2 |
|
2nd 9 (14) |
13th Oct 2023 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
Hasn't won in Britain since 2021 but some useful efforts in 2023, including here; needs things to go better at the start than they sometimes do if he's to play a part. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 6 (4) |
9th Sep 2023 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Has drawn a blank this season but he retains a good chunk of ability, running well at Haydock in June off a 5lb higher mark and beaten under 4l in a hot York sprint latest; capable of a big run but slow starts have been a feature the last twice and that sounds a note of caution. |

2nd May 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Finally exploited his drop in the weights when winning a C&D handicap last October (heavy ground); should come on for March's return to action at Doncaster and while slower ground would be ideal, he did run well in a fast-ground Stewards' Cup in 2020. |

Absent since prevailing narrowly on heavy ground at Goodwood in October, ending a three-year losing spell; not an obvious type to follow up, especially as his record in this race (three attempts) is modest. |

9st 9lb |
Has won five races up to 1m1f from 34 Flat starts; fine runs in defeat in premier handicaps at Leopardstown and Galway over the summer but was a bit below that level in the Cambridgeshire here last time; can be keen so needs to settle better. |
7/1 |

Drops back in class having faced a stiff task in Listed grade on seasonal debut; has bits of 6f form but his wins have come over shorter and off lower marks; not the percentage call. |

27th May 2023 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |

Looked a sprinter going places last spring but he failed to fire at Newmarket and Newcastle last summer; off for 336 days (had a wind op in March); should have more races in him but he's flying high on his return and his rider can't use his claim either. |
