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. |

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. |

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. |

9st 11lb |
Her losing run stands at 26 but that doesn't do her justice as she's an admirable mare who has run numerous good races since that latest success; good third against male opposition at Newcastle four weeks ago; should get a good pace to aim at and more prize money would seem likely. |

1st Jun 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Missed a chunk of last year and has slid to a competitive mark for his current yard; just behind Southbank over C&D a month ago and is one to consider back in headgear (second-time blinkers). |
5/1 |
|
3rd 9 (10) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Down the field on first four starts for Chelsea Banham but fared better when fifth in a Wolverhampton classified (6f; heavily backed) last month; needs to build on that effort but it will be interesting to see whether he's strong in the betting again. |
6/1 |
|
5th 11 (2) |
24th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won a C&D handicap in December 2024, recording an RPR of 71 in the process; unfancied and has finished down the field in four runs for Chelsea Banham this winter; eligible for this 0-50 classified as a result; a return to form is likely to be foretold by the betting. |

9th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 4 |

Had been banging at the door prior to his 7f win at Lingfileld last month; a 4lb rise for that win demands more but he has had few chances in this headgear. |
5/1 |

1st 1 (8) |
7th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
All eight wins have been at sprint trips and seven have been on turf; record of 1-17 on AW but he's a reliable type who has been placed on Tapeta (6f) and Polytrack (7f) in last three runs; remains well treated on old form and he should go well again. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 7 (4) |
28th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 5f 212y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
1lb lower than for his Hamilton win in July (6f, good) and he has run well in defeat on his last two starts, close up in fourth over C&D ten days ago; Ethan Tindall takes off a useful 7lb and he is more appealing than many; won't mind what the ground does. |

18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Versatile trip-wise and six of his 12 wins have come at Windsor; on same mark as for his Sandown win last autumn and he's been running well on AW this spring; should get a good tow into this race and he's in the mix back at this track. |
11/2 |

3rd 3 (1) |
28th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
No AW win since December 2021 but there have been some good runs on both Polytrack and Tapeta this year, including C&D, and yesterday's 6f second was another sound display; wasn't helping his rider under pressure on that occasion and opposable for win purposes. |

Absent since finishing fifth over C&D two months ago; 0-10 for current stable but remains well handicapped on historical data; admittedly doesn't seem the force of old. |

18th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 4 |

Four-time winner who has come down 15lb in the handicap since the start of the season but isn't obviously shaping as if he's about to exploit it. |

Seven-time winner (including four at this track); has looked regressive the last couple of years and was beaten out of sight at Naas last month; hopes rest on a return to the AW from a falling mark; wide draw doesn't help. |

Not as good or consistent as he was and does a lot of his racing now over 6f, as when behind Monks Dream (Dark Kestrel fifth) here recently; again only holds each-way claims. |
8/1 |

7 (6) |
15th Feb 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Dropped to a dangerous mark and his last two efforts have been more encouraging; 7lb better off with Brazilian Rose on last month's C&D run but wouldn't be open to the same progress as that rival. |

4th 2 (2) |
17th Jan 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Close third on latest outing but isn't certain to build on that effort; 0-11 for current yard and losing run goes back to 2022. |

Has been a superb servant, winning 16 of his 99 starts, including three this year; comfortable scorer at Haydock (6f, good to firm) latest, for which he has gone up 6lb; has won over C&D and looks a player again. |
2/1 |

25th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
The winner of two of his six starts this year, both over 6f at Southwell; he could only manage fourth of the nine runners back at Southwell 20 days ago and he will need to raise his game to defy this mark. |

Made it 4-15 under Connor Planas when gaining his second C&D success ten days ago; did it comfortably enough and despite a 5lb higher mark, is a major player if in the same form; stable also runs Melissa Honey. |

7th Sep 2023 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 2 |

Half-brother to the very useful Dragon Symbol who's lightly raced and open to improvement; was drawn away from the action on his return from six months off on turf recently (gelded) and that was promising enough; is again drawn wide though. |

11th Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
He had dropped a long way in the weights prior to his fine third at York's Dante meeting and he confirmed his wellbeing when seeing off 20 rivals back at York two weeks later (7f, good); ran poorly when an odds-on favourite at Chepstow one week later; fully effective over C&D; can't be dismissed. |

7th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 16y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Useful in his younger days and, having regressed last year, has found his level again of late; easily beat a big field from the front at York last weekend and a 6lb rise may well be within range now he's back in the groove. |

Last turf win came off an 11lb higher mark at Newmarket in August 2022 (6f, good to firm) but has won twice on AW since (6f/7f); sound run when close third to Delicacy over C&D last time last time (good to firm) and although 2lb higher is one with a chance. |
