Latest of multiple wins came at 7f last August; below par lately, including behind The Gay Blade over C&D 12 days ago, but won in cheekpieces earlier in career and they're refitted for the first time since 2022. |

11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Five-time AW winner who was knocking on the door at Wolverhampton (8.6f/7f) in his final two starts in the spring; only 1lb higher than for his last run but this is tougher back up in grade and he's 1-25 on turf; has some work to do from high draw after a break. |

31st Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |

20th Oct 2023 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Sole win came at this venue a year ago; largely consistent this season and has made the frame in two C&D contests since wearing cheekpieces, good second latest; solid claims in the retained headgear. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 9 (7) |
19th Sep 2023 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Won C&D nursery last October and has made the frame on five of his six starts this year, most recently when fourth over C&D in first-time cheekpieces (retained) this month; 1lb lower today and likely to be on the premises again. |

17th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 7y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Quirky customer with two C&D wins on his record and now 6lb lower than for last July's success; running himself into form this year but his stable look to hold stronger claims elsewhere. |
12/1 |
|
4th 6 (6) |
27th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 7y Class 4 |
8st 10lb |
Does plenty wrong during his races but it hasn't stopped him from winning seven times, two of them over C&D; running himself back into form this year but others appeal more. |
12/1 |

4th 3 (7) |
20th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
No stranger to the Ayr winners' enclosure, winning five at this track (5f-7f), including this race two years ago; has struggled for form in two 5f spins at Musselburgh this year, which makes him hard to fancy; on the plus side, the handicapper is beginning to give him a chance. |

8st 11lb |
Very rarely goes this far and it's a long time since he won at higher than 0-55 level; always a chance he'll miss the break too and he's some way down the pecking order. |

6th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Well handicapped on pick of this year's AW form but finished well down the field on both starts last month (1m1f/7f) and is now 0-23 on turf. |

22nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |

Kept busy and largely in good form without winning on the AW this season; beat one back on turf in 1m1f Carlisle handicap two weeks ago though so has a bit to prove. |

2nd Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Eight-time winner with first four on turf and latest four on Tapeta; his last success was by 3l here (9.4f) in December but he's been disappointing in both subsequent runs and needs to bounce back near his best. |
14/1 |

8th 10 (4) |
16th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 4 |
8st 9lb |
Eight-time winner with first four on turf and last four on Tapeta; his last success was by 3l here (9.4f) last month but he flopped when favourite over C&D ten days ago; a switch to more prominent tactics may have backfired in that race but he needs to bounce back after that disappointing effort. |
9/1 |

28th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
11st 9lb |
In excellent form in refitted visor on Tapata when last seen in spring, winning three in a row (1m-8.6f); has fitness and stamina to prove today but the return to turf on the slow side of good won't be a problem. |

Two-time winner on turf; unplaced in all six AW starts but there has been some promise on Tapeta at Newcastle; others more persuasive this time. |

Off the mark in Carlisle handicap (1m, good to firm) last month, then ran well behind higher-rated rival in seller here (1m1f, good to soft) eight days ago; in-form contender who has solid claims. |

Still seeking his first win (0-20) but has been placed in three of his last four starts, including when a beaten favourite - third to today's rival Chinese Spirit - at Musselburgh (1m) last week; previous Carlisle form figures read 23, and he'll surely strike eventually; a possible. |

Beaten 13 times since her winning debut for James Tate in July 2022; dropping down the weights but others look safer. |

9th 2 (11) |
19th Nov 2023 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
It's now 12 starts since her last win and she beat only two in C&D handicap 19 days ago on her first run since leaving Iain Jardine; needs to take a big step forward for her new yard. |
20/1 |

10th 7 (6) |
31st Oct 2023 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
3lb lower than wen second of eight at Beverley (7f, good to firm) in June, but hasn't beaten many in four subsequent starts; needs the change of stable to help bring about a resurgence. |
