31st May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
His last win came over C&D last July (good; off 1lb higher) and he stayed on for a close third at Hamilton (5f, good) a fortnight ago; could build on that latest performance now back up in trip; firmly in calculations. |
10/1 |

17th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
May have needed his recent comeback from six months off at his age (cracked late on having raced prominently from a low stall over 6f round Chester); 2lb below his last successful mark and has won here before but David Allan has opted for Vince L'Amour. |
12/1 |

On a competitive mark with a handy inside draw but he is returning from a seven month absence and his connections are also represented by Miraculous. |

21st Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 4f 214y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Over two years since he last ran on the AW but that made it 2-2 at Wolverhampton; won last year's Stewards' Cup and this year's Wokingham, so clearly a tip-top handicapper when on his game; found the ground too slow in last month's big handicap at Goodwood but his run back there last time is not so easily forgiven. |
16/1 |

24th Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
10st 0lb |
Had an excuse (ground not fast enough) last time when failing by a long way to complete Stewards' Cup double; made all at Ascot (6f, good to firm) in his other two British runs this term, including the Wokingham; very useful handicapper when conditions are ideal. |
3/1 |

3 (27) |
2nd Aug 2025 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Sprang a 40-1 surprise in this race 12 months ago, making all to beat Apollo One with the stands' rail proving advantageous; unsuccessful stint in Bahrain early in the year saw his handicap mark ease and he's returned to Britain with a bang, making all at Ascot (6f, good to firm; strong tailwind) in May and repeating the dose in the Wokingham there six weeks ago; only 4lb higher and foolish to think he couldn't slip the field again. |

Well handicapped on his Yarmouth win (5f, good to soft) last summer but he has a mixed record this season and has finished down the field in last two runs; losing run is now up to 11 and others are more solid. |

4th Sep 2024 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Smart in his prime and he retained sufficient ability to win a Salisbury handicap last summer off 13lb higher; not really fired this year though and opposable despite a reduced mark. |
10/1 |

4th 1 (8) |
13th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
10st 1lb |
Veteran who hasn't hit top gear yet in 2024 but who is eligible for Class 6 company as a result; other pace to deal with here and could prove vulnerable once again. |
10/1 |

4th 1 (6) |
18th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 16y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Veteran with just one win to his name in the last three years; that came off a 6lb higher mark but he wasn't near his best on last month's seasonal return; step forward is required. |

16th Sep 2023 Soft 0m 5f 143y Class 2 |
8st 7lb |
First two wins over 6f but seen more regularly at 5f now; nearly a year since she won on turf, when impressing at York (good to soft) but her recent run in a fillies' handicap at York was better than it looks at first glance; running into form and can give a good account. |
12/1 |
|
8th 6 (11) |
23rd Aug 2023 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Respectable fifth in both runs since returning from a break; may well raise her game back at York, where she's 1-1 over C&D after a win last October; Listed scorer on AW two starts later; possibilities off a workable mark. |
9/1 |
|
5th 2 (1) |
10th Aug 2023 Soft 0m 5f 16y Class 3 |
10st 0lb |
Won handicaps in 2022, over 6f (good) and 5f (good to soft) but her mark took a battering following a Listed AW win on reappearance and she faded back in a handicap at Ascot 12 days ago; might come on for that run after a break but others higher up the list. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Kicked off the season with back-to-back 5f wins at Wolverhampton and Pontefract before being run down by Vince L'Amour over C&D (Hurt You Never third) next time; nowhere near those same levels at Pontefract (ninth of ten) latest, so needs to bounce back. |
9/1 |
|
9th 4 (9) |
22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
He has returned from a six-month break in rude health, winning at Wolverhampton and over C&D (second C&D success) last month and running well in his hat-trick bid at Ripon a fortnight ago; wide draw not ideal for a front-runner but he isn't handicapped out of things; trainer also runs Jojo Rabbit. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 5 (4) |
8th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Returned from six months off with a win at Wolverhampton and he followed up with another narrow success at Pontefract (5f, good) 17 days ago; 3lb higher than for his front-running win last time but remains feasibly treated and is tactically versatile; key player for yard that won this in 2023 and 2025. |

7th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
C&D win last May and followed up at Lingfield (6f; both good to firm) one week later; now 14lb lower so he has handicapping claims, for all his recent efforts need bettering; stable also runs Cabeza De Llave. |
10/1 |
|
4th 3 (5) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
On the downgrade now but placed over C&D on two of his last three appearances; no match for Desdemona when second on latter occasion but now 11lb better off; can make his presence felt. |

14th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Dropped in the weights and much more competitive in recent starts, second at Chelmsford and Southwell before finishing third behind Sturlasson back at Southwell two weeks ago; better off at the weights with that rival today but might not reverse the placings. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 2 (7) |
29th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Her losing run goes back more than a year but she's been running well of late and confirmed her liking for this C&D when losing out narrowly to a well-treated rival (pair well clear) last week; solid claims. |
11/4 |
|
1 (6) |
21st Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Dropped a long way in the weights this year and she returned to form with a good second at Chelmsford last month (ran without the declared tongue-tie); back up 2lb but still well treated on last season's best; C&D winner; considered. |
