31st Jul 2024 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Won three times over this trip last year when with Roger Varian; no wins in seven for current yard and this is a tough race in which to put that right; in first-time cheekpieces today. |

12th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 13lb |
Triple 7f winner for Roger Varian last year; gave a pretty good account before fading into sixth at Epsom (7f, good) nine days ago but is now 0-6 for George Baker and needs to find something extra. |

6th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Too headstrong in a clear lead at Southwell (7f) last time, so did fairly well to be beaten only 2l in the end; gained last win off 10lb higher at Newcastle in August 2024; fighting chance provided he settles. |
10/1 |

23rd Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Well treated on last year's high points and it wasn't a bad run from off the pace at Chelmsford 12 days ago, given how that race panned out (pulled hard/got behind/found trouble); the cheekpieces are worth persevering with. |
4/1 |

Well suited by York and went close there in June; inconsistent otherwise during a 2025 campaign that has been markedly less productive than 2024; cheekpieces refitted for the first time since 2022; opposed. |

4th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Recorded the 18th win of his long career when leading late over C&D in February (for Myla Coppins); ran well behind a thriving rival at Lingfield next time but he failed to fire over C&D a fortnight ago (finished behind Coloane); he has bounced back from quiet runs before so can't be ruled out. |
6/1 |
|
8th 7 (7) |
20th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
18th success of his long career when getting the better of Antiquity (winner since and runs in the 6.00) over C&D last month; bumped into an in-form opponent at Lingfield two weeks ago (7f; blinkered first time); another 2lb rise is not ideal but he is likely to give his running. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 2 (4) |
5th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Well into the veteran stage but he retains plenty of enthusiasm and ran on well to beat a subsequent winner (Age Of Time third) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) three weeks ago, his 18th success; a 2lb rise not excessive but late in the day to be giving blinkers a go (has run well in new headgear before). |

10th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Habitual front-runner; reeled in after going off a bit too hard over 1m at Brighton recently but won over 7f there (good to firm) two starts ago and has the ideal draw here; could take some catching. |
9/2 |

30th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Ran well when third of 12 on his reappearance over C&D this month (Rogue Dynasty second), but all six wins have come over 7f including when recording his fourth course success back here eight days ago, for which he has a 4lb penalty. |

7th Nov 2023 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Veteran who has been a bit in and out this year, but is 2lb lower than when successful over 6f here in May; return to this trip no problem having won twice over C&D, but he needs to better his two efforts since returning to the AW in September. |

Six-time winner who is well treated on best form; however, below par during a light 2024 campaign and failed to revive on reappearance; best watched unless the betting suggests otherwise. |

29th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Losing run is mounting up but he shaped well from the front over C&D (good) eight days ago, eventually tying up having kicked clear too soon in hindsight, beaten only 2l; big chance off same mark with Ethan Tindall taking off a bonus 5lb, provided his energy is used better. |

21st Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Ran poorly last time, failing to back up reappearance effort and continuing his long losing spell; otherwise well capable of taking a serious hand off current mark, provided he rebounds. |

27th Jun 2023 Good To Firm 0m 6f 210y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Ended last year with a 4l win in a Chelmsford novice (7f, AW) but she returned from an absence with a low-key effort on her handicap debut at Kempton (15-2) two weeks ago; still has potential after only five starts but she needs to resume her progress back on turf. |

10th Nov 2022 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Big prices and out of the frame in her first three outings (around 2l behind Colombidea at Kempton on her second start); likely she won't come into her own until tackling handicaps over further. |
9/1 |
