12th Oct 2024 Soft 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Landed another Chester win in May but behind Stressfree, Have Secret and Paddy The Squire there last month, albeit perhaps just needing the outing after 11 weeks off; acts on heavy. |

14th Sep 2024 Heavy 1m 2f 70y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
C&D winner on soft and good to firm at the last two May meetings; below par at Epsom and Newcastle this summer but returns from an 11-week break only 1lb above the mark he defied in May. |

29th Jun 2024 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Enhanced his good Chester record there in May (1m2f, good to firm); comfortably held off this mark at Epsom since but good chance he'll bounce back and Wolverhampton exploits bode well for his first visit here. |

2nd Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Dual Kempton winner in 2023 and he's very well handicapped judged on form as recent as one year ago; Bahrain last winter did not go well for new connections, however, and although there was a whiff of his old form when seventh of 13 over C&D on his British return in May, he tailed off at Epsom ten days later; soft ground might excuse that but there are questions to answer. |
16/1 |

10th 11 (2) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 6y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Locally trained runner who offered something to work on when seventh of 13 at Kempton (1m4f, AW) on his British return ten days ago; also has form on good to soft but latest effort still leaves him with work to do and he finished tailed off in the 2023 running of this. |

2nd Oct 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
6-25 on the AW compared to 0-14 on turf; below form on last two outings (back on AW ten days ago) but won off a 4lb higher mark over C&D in February and can't be ruled out. |
9/2 |
|
5th 5 (6) |
22nd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
6-24 on the AW compared to 0-14 on turf; below his best at Chester (1m2f, good) two months ago but he's now 4lb lower than for February's Wolverhampton success, and this dual C&D winner makes some appeal back on the AW. |
9/1 |

5th 1 (4) |
25th Jul 2026 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
6-24 on AW but 0-13 on turf; returned to form when second over C&D (good; Class 3) two weeks ago but he dictated steady fractions from the front and it probably flatters him; still commands some attention. |

1st Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Has proved consistent since reappearing for Jack Morland in January (4243514) with the win coming at Haydock (10.5f, good to firm) in August; record around here (1m3f/1m4f) reads 123 and another big run would be no surprise. |
5/1 |

4th 6 (12) |
13th Sep 2025 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Mostly competitive off reduced marks for new yard this season and Haydock (1m2f, good to firm) five weeks ago saw him lead final 1f to break a long losing run, doing it in good style too; back up 5lb but he used to be effective on a range of ground and has returned to serious calculations. |

21st Oct 2024 Heavy 1m 2f 37y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Returned after wind surgery with close thirds at Lingfield (1m4f, AW) and Windsor (11.4f, good) but he didn't find much when disappointing at Kempton last time; bit to prove again after that and he's had only one win in his last 17 starts. |
6/1 |

11th 10 (3) |
25th Sep 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Only recently returned from wind surgery and under positive rides has finished close up at Lingfield (1m4f AW) and Windsor (1m3.5f); had no excuses either time but he's unlikely to be far away. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 5 (8) |
16th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 3f 99y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
First run after wind surgery when unable to exploit a soft lead on the AW recently (1m4f); however, six of his seven wins have been on turf and he likes it around here; dangerously handicapped. |

He's dropped to a dangerous mark but this 7yo has struggled to get competitive this season and others arrive with more compelling claims. |

19th Sep 2026 Good 1m 5f 61y Class 2 |

Successful at the 2025 Newmarket July festival (1m6f) but has failed to repeat the form since; new headgear needs to prompt a resurgence. |

29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 218y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Beaten under 3l in the Shergar Cup Stayers last time and is possibly running into form; however, usually races over further nowadays and this drop back to 1m4f looks a negative; cheekpieces reapplied. |

Performed respectably at Kempton on most recent AW attempt but was no match for Saratoga Gold and this is a higher grade; well exposed 8yo who is on a 16-race losing sequence; opposed. |
