15th Oct 2023 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Recorded a clearcut success on soft going at Windsor (1m) in the spring; respectable third on similar surface at this course (1m1f) most recently; has slipped back to an attractive mark and enters calculations. |

27th Sep 2023 Soft 1m 1f 11y Class 4 |

Similar type to Junkanoo, having recorded a clearcut success on soft going at Windsor (1m) in the spring; not disgraced over 1m1f three starts back; on a workable mark and looks one to consider. |

27th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Hold-up performer who has yet to hit top form since returning last month, but is 1lb lower than when last successful at Beverley (7f, good to firm) a year ago; has won around here (1m) and worth a second look. |
6/1 |

4th 1 (8) |
13th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Hostage to fortune under his usual running style but defied trouble in running for both 7.5f wins here last year, one at this meeting off today's mark; should be coming to the boil after two staying-on efforts over that same C&D this term, and did win third time out in 2025; very interesting. |
5/1 |

5th 6 (2) |
28th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Two of his three wins last year were on fast ground over C&D; well beaten over C&D on belated reappearance two weeks ago; shpuld come on for that. |

26th Sep 2023 Soft 1m 0f 75y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Won 1m Yarmouth novice on good to soft last September; no real evidence he's ahead of his mark this year, despite a somewhat luckless AW run behind Botas (1m) in August; however, his finishing hasn't been that strong over the trip on turf and AW since and looks up against it. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 3 (10) |
18th Sep 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Yarmouth novice winner (1m, good to soft) a year ago and has run some good race since handicapping, especially since headgear went on; finished just behind King Cabo over C&D on his penultimate start (first-time blinkers), but may have finished ahead of that rival with a clear run; could be worth chancing. |
10/1 |
|
5th 2 (5) |
25th Aug 2023 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Yarmouth novice winner (1m, good to soft) last autumn and twice runner-up off similar marks in handicaps this summer; possible to forgive his latest effort on AW debut (first-time blinkers), but he could probably do with some rain back on turf. |

12th Sep 2024 Soft 1m 0f 113y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
C&D winner but he arrives well below par, beating only one in 1m Kempton AW handicap 29 days ago; he needs to get back on track. |
7/1 |
|
10th 4 (11) |
14th Aug 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Two AW wins this year, one over C&D, and he ran well for a close fourth at Ascot on his penultimate start; poorly drawn when disappointing at Goodwood 11 days ago and he's stuck out wide here too. |
10/1 |
|
9th 14 (16) |
3rd Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 1f 11y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
Won over 1m on Polytrack in April and June; ran on well for a close fourth at Ascot (1m, good to soft) three weeks ago, which is easily the best of his three turf appearances this year and needs respect, but he'd have more to prove on good to firm. |

All four AW wins have been at this track; steps up in distance and holds claims if he gets the trip. |

5th 4 (6) |
6th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Has four wins at this track, mostly over today's distance; 3lb higher than his last success in March but cannot be dismissed here. |
12/1 |
|
5th 8 (11) |
30th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
It was a narrow verdict over 8.6f here four weeks ago and he went up only 3lb; with that run under his belt and being a triple C&D winner, he should feature again if able to overcome a wider than ideal draw. |
