16th Sep 2023 Good To Soft 1m 6f 87y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Improved when switched to handicaps this summer, winning twice at Leicester (1m4f, soft) but only second of four when sent off odds-on for her hat-trick bid over the same C&D (good to firm) last time; return to softer ground would be a help and she is a half-sister to a winner over this trip; shortlisted. |

23rd Aug 2023 Good To Firm 1m 3f 179y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Second on handicap debut on good to firm, followed by two wins (much better form) on soft and all three of those races were over C&D; up another 5lb but should go very well if the return to much firmer ground is okay. |

21st Jun 2025 Good To Firm 2m 5f 143y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Typical of a Prescott handicapper to have graduated from a low level to where he is now, and he could have done with faster ground when beaten 12l in last season's Cesarewitch (soft); plenty to like about his reappearance run under a big weight at Goodwood (2m, good) and he gave the impression he'd stay all day when winning over Pontefract's stiff 2m2f last season (good to firm); one of the more appealing each-way options. |

23rd May 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |

Successful six times during a spell as a classic Prescott improver; limitations somewhat exposed in Class 2 events (including two major handicaps) subsequently; a possible danger back down in grade. |

17th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
All five AW wins have been at this track, four of which were over this trip; recorded his first turf success at Doncaster in June and has run well since, which augurs well for this return to AW. |
5/1 |

2nd 1 (5) |
29th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Off the mark on turf when beating five rivals at Doncaster (1m4f, good to soft) last month but he was beaten 8l when fifth of ten off this mark at York (1m4f, good to firm) 19 days ago; now drops back in trip. |
4/1 |

5th 7 (4) |
10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 188y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Five-time AW winner who made it sixteenth time lucky on turf when seeing off five rivals over 1m4f at Doncaster (good to soft) under Conor Whiteley 26 days ago; 3lb higher in a deeper race now but the Michael Herrington stable continues in good form. |

26th Jul 2023 Good To Soft 1m 3f 179y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Kept on for third at Yarmouth (1m, good to firm; second run in cheekpieces) in early June but backward steps since, latterly in a first-time visor; unconvincing. |
12/1 |
|
7th 3 (6) |
7th Jul 2023 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Suggested her turn might be near when keeping-on third at Yarmouth (1m, good to firm) last month but needs to bounce back quickly from a poor performance on Monday; swaps cheekpieces for first-time visor. |
10/1 |
|
6th 5 (1) |
2nd Jul 2023 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Two bits of fair form among her six starts, including when third of ten in handicap at Yarmouth (1m, good to firm) latest but she still needs to find a bit extra; wore cheekpieces on last two outings. |

1st Sep 2023 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |

Handicap debut fourth at Haydock in June (1m2f, good) wasn't a bad run but he has followed it with two heavy defeats; too much to prove for comfort. |
25/1 |
|
6th 9 (7) |
26th Jul 2023 Good To Soft 1m 3f 179y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Beaten about 8l when fourth of seven on handicap at Haydock (1m2f, good) but then finished stone-cold last on his return visit when upped to a similar trip to today's; the first-time hood needs to bring him on. |
12/1 |

7th Jul 2023 Good 1m 3f 140y Class 5 |
8st 4lb |
Beaten about 8l when fourth of seven on recent handicap and seasonal debut here (1m2f, good), but he kept on well having been denied a clear run and this Australia gelding is open to improvement now up in trip; chance. |

Effective over C&D but he's out of the winning habit, being 0-12 this year; not in the best of form either and was comfortably held in the Brighton event won by Wrist Art. |

23rd Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 198y Class 6 |

5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 5y Class 6 |

1m2f turf winner (good) who has won over 1m3f on AW; holds place claims if back to the form of his third at Chepstow (on stable debut) in June. |

9st 5lb |
C&D winner; in good order this winter, including when midfield over C&D last week (met trouble on a few occasions); Rossa Ryan retains the ride and he should be in the thick of it once again. |
7/2 |
|
5th 2 (9) |
4th Feb 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

Generally consistent; close second, finishing strongly from difficult position, in amateur riders' event at Kempton (6f) last week; respected off same mark back up in distance. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 2 (7) |
28th Jan 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
11st 1lb |
Generally consistent, including over 6f (raced mainly at further); has made the frame at Southwell in three starts since returned to AW; won his last Kempton attempt (in late 2024); solid. |
