Two 5f handicap wins in Class 5 company this season; effective at this track but he was well held when returned to 6f at Windsor three weeks ago; remains opposable at this trip. |

6th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Three-time AW winner who got off the mark on turf at the 14th attempt, at Brighton (5.2f, good to firm) on Monday; also effective on good to soft; she won that four-runner handicap in fine style and is entitled to respect under a 5lb penalty, but today's company is more demanding. |

2nd Sep 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 60y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Triple AW winner who is 0-13 on turf but she's run respectably at Lingfield (5f, good to firm) and Nottingham (5f, good) in her last two runs; returns after another short break but she's generally reliable and shouldn't be far away. |

24th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y |
9st 11lb |
Eleven-time winner including at Listed level; ran well on seasonal reappearance in the Listed Beverley Bullet but has failed to land a blow the last twice; 3-16 on the AW but could only manage sixth when 5-1 for this last year; needs to rediscover best. |
15/2 |

12th 3 (11) |
19th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 5f 110y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Made all in this last year (good) and encouraging Listed third at Beverley (5f, good to firm) three weeks ago on her belated reappearance; won on soft ground at the start of her career; her usual visor returns (left off last time) and she has leading claims if building on her comeback run. |
4/1 |

30th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
8st 13lb |
Had a busy 2024 and notched six wins, the last of them in 5.5f Listed race at Ayr; would have real possibilities if repeating that form, although she'll need to hit the ground running after over ten months off. |

Has registered two wins apiece on AW and turf; went close at Nottingham (5f, good) most recently; again receives weight all round and may well remain competitive; has bits of C&D form. |
13/2 |

2nd 10 (2) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 3 |

Has returned to AW for two starts this year, better effort when runner-up on reappearance; has gained both turf wins at Windsor but is attractively treated off current mark; could go well. |

17th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Course regular who landed her third race here when making all over C&D (good) in July; similar form when second at Chester (5.5f, soft) last time; player. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 5 (2) |
20th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 5f 110y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Recorded her sixth win when making all at Haydock (5f, good) in July but she's not gone on from that in three runs since; ran respectably at Haydock last time but she looks weighted near her best off this mark and could be vulnerable again. |
13/2 |

7 (8) |
5th Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Well beaten over C&D last month but that was a rare start on fast ground; has won here three times, the latest over C&D (good) in July, and she's also won on soft ground; could bounce back with a bold show. |

9st 10lb |
0-21 but regularly running to an RPR in the 70s over the winter; form has dipped more recently but he's been given a big chance by the handicapper and could have a big run in him from the inside stall. |

Two 5f wins at the track; solid effort at Ffos Las 19 days ago (6f, good); able to race off 2lb lower mark today and the return to this track should suit. |

8th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Used to make all but has become tactically versatile; all four wins have been at Chelmsford where he ran well from a wide draw 11 days ago; 0-6 on the AW here but three times a runner-up and much respected from stall 1. |
11/4 |

5th 9 (9) |
28th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Has been a trailblazer in the past, but showed he didn't have to lead when successful off this mark on his reappearance over C&D in May (all four wins here); should appreciate the return to this venue following three lesser efforts on turf and one for the shortlist despite the outside stall. |
9/2 |

All four wins have come on the AW at Chelmsford including from 2lb lower on his reappearance in May (5f); however, he is 0-26 elsewhere and 0-15 on turf so not hard to have reservations. |

Won a 5f maiden here last May but she's 0-14 since and has not finished closer than fourth in her eight runs this year; has dropped a long way in the weights but she still has something to prove at this trip and others are preferred. |
