27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Slow starter; on a long losing run; creditable effort at Chester four weeks ago but this stiff 7f isn't sure to suit. |
20/1 |

6th 7 (11) |
30th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 1y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Slow-starter; on a dangerous mark but he is without a win since October 2023 and one 7f run didn't see him improve for the trip. |
28/1 |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

Useful on his day but is on a long losing run and has a doubt over current form; by no means sure to take advantage of a reduced mark. |

23rd Jun 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Infrequent winner these days but always prominent when holding on at Chepstow (6f, good) four days ago; this looks tougher under a 4lb penalty (Alexandra Egan rides again). |
5/1 |

15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Just one win in the last five years but it came over C&D; back to form when second to Too Much Trevor over C&D nine days ago, doing comfortably best of the stands' side group, and 2lb better off today; good chance of turning the tables. |

13th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 143y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Eight-time winner and also first past the post in this race in 2022 (demoted to second after causing interference); well treated if retaining all his ability but he was tailed off in the Shergar Cup on his reappearance after a long absence, having hit his head on the stalls; risky. |
40/1 |
|
10th 4 (5) |
9th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Eight-time winner, not seen since finishing tenth in the Wokingham here in June 2024 (subsequently gelded); has run some good races at Ascot, including when fourth in this event two years ago, and he's well treated if retaining all his ability, but looks a risky proposition after such a long absence. |
20/1 |
|
10th 18 (21) |
22nd Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
His most recent wins were 6f on AW but he tends to flag over this trip on turf and his stride shortened in this race 12 months ago; on a more favourable mark now but others should find greater reserves in the later stages. |

25th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 5f 3y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Never a threat after a slow start in the corresponding race 12 months ago; as good as ever when winning at Sandown and Ascot (came from well back) in August/September and two subsequent defeats excusable (ground/Listed race); 3-8 on soft or worse but might be better suited by a stiffer finish. |
16/1 |
|
8th 12 (5) |
4th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
8st 12lb |
At least as good as ever this year, winning handicaps at Sandown (5f, soft) and over C&D (good to soft) in September; found things happening too quickly at Haydock last Saturday and she's in deeper today, but she does go really well at Ascot and the more rain that falls the better. |
16/1 |
|
3 (2) |
27th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Likeable mare with eight wins to her name, including at Sandown (5f, soft) and Ascot (5f, good to soft) in the last four weeks; impossible to rule out but she's gone up 13lb in total for those successes and she'll need a career best to complete the hat-trick. |

9th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Veteran; all 12 wins have been over 5f and is ideally suited by plenty of give in the ground; hasn't been out since Doncaster win in March (5f, good to soft); has plenty in his favour and should go well again. |
13/2 |

29th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |

10st 0lb |
Six AW wins on his record, three of them at this track; solid third at Lingfield on Good Friday, on second run for this stable, and he's undergone wind surgery since; promising apprentice takes off 5lb and he's one to consider. |

Ran creditably on his stable debut at Southwell 12 days ago and returning to 6f won't be a problem; not sure he's ahead of his mark though. |

0-9 since her two wins in August 2023 but currently in a consistent vein of form; raced mainly at sprint distances but ran respectably over 7f at Leicester (heavy) most recently and again has frame possibilities. |

2nd Nov 2024 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Latest run at Nottingham is easy to forgive (unsuitable ground) and he had recorded a career-best RPR when winning at Wolverhampton (5f) on his penultimate start; no issue with 6f but 5f is possibly his optimum. |
