15th Jul 2026 Firm 1m 3f 137y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
C&D winner who hasn't scored since August 2023; well beaten in his only two starts since September 2024 and looks best watched. |
20/1 |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Good record here down the years, with form figures of 21319 highlighting two wins at 1m4f (good); also scored twice over this trip in 2023 (including on good to soft) but no wins since and he only saw the track once last year; still worth a market check ahead of his return. |

1st Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Went close at Windsor (11.5f) in May and she was winning her fifth race when landing a 1m4f Brighton classified (also good to firm) going away last Monday; 4lb penalty makes things trickier back in a handicap but she's not discounted. |
4/1 |

1st 4 (8) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good 1m 3f 198y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Solid effort back on turf early last month but below that level on both starts since, most recently when well beaten over C&D yesterday; nearly three years since her last win. |
4/1 |

21st Jun 2026 Good 1m 3f 198y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Close second on turf return at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm) last month and remains on a workable mark but her latest run was disappointing and it's nearly three years since her last win. |

26th Jul 2023 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Tailed off on final 2022 start and had wind surgery this March; back in the groove six days ago to win in clearcut fashion at Epsom, where he has a good record; has a bit more to prove today dropping back from 1m4f and carrying a penalty, but he has a 7lb claimer enlisted. |

27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Very solid record in 2024 on turf but 592 days off before this season; beaten a long way on his return (his only AW race) and not so far next time but he still has major work to do to turn things around. |
33/1 |

6th 3 (3) |
12th Jun 2026 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Beaten a long way on his return from 20 months off at Kempton (2m, AW) 16 days ago and still 6lb above his last winning mark; needs the ground to dry out. |
14/1 |
|
9th 1 (4) |
27th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Finally off the mark in Britain in May 2024 and runner-up on next four starts, including when coming from well back over 2m4f at Glorious Goodwood; however, he flopped when just 9-1 for the Cesarewitch (soft) that October and not seen since; that was his only run in Britain on softer than good; well handicapped were he to return at his best on this AW debut after 588 days off; market may guide. |

1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Bids for a hat-trick after two wins at Bath (1m2f, firm), beating Galaxy Wonder by half a length on the latest occasion; up another 2lb, but still a big player in his current mood. |
5/1 |
|
1st 5 (1) |
12th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 37y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Most wins on the AW but it was his third success on the grass when coming home 2.5l to the good over C&D two weeks ago; defying the 5lb rise shouldn't be beyond him. |
9/2 |
|
1st 5 (2) |
27th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |

Has a better strike-rate on AW than on turf but he's in form, creditable third at Lingfield on Good Friday last time; gained last win off 5lb higher (in July 2024); shortlisted. |

21st Sep 2023 Standard 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Not proven at this track but the best of his six AW runs came on latest attempt when winning a five-runner race on Wolverhampton Tapeta (1m6f) in July; back to that form when close third at Bath (1m6f) on latest outing; big player if that form is reproduced. |

Won over this far at Wolverhampton and didn't run too badly back over 1m4f at Brighton when lacking the gears to land a blow; could go well. |

26th Jul 2025 Good 1m 3f 99y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Kept on for third in recent selling handicap at Lingfield (11.6f, good; behind Velvet Vulcan), making the frame in his fourth consecutive Flat race, but career strike-rate now stands at 0-31. |
12/1 |
|
8 (6) |
8th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 133y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
0-24 on the Flat but he wasn't running badly in this sphere prior to finishing tailed off over hurdles three weeks ago; not ruled out from this career-low mark with Oisin Murphy taking over. |
4/1 |
|
9th 6 |
17th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
0-24 on the Flat and 0-5 over hurdles; not seen over jumps since 38l defeat in 2m2f handicap here in October and his tendency to race too freely is always a worry. |
50/1 |
