Has defied current mark three times, including in this race 12 months ago, and Jack Callan removes a bonus 5lb today; close second at Brighton (7f) latest start; respected. |

9st 5lb |
Seven-time winner who handles any ground but he can miss the break; now 2lb lower than for his Newbury win (1m, good) in May but he's lost his way since and needs a major revival. |

Issues at the start and with pulling hard in early runs and has been expensive to follow, going backwards since entering handicaps; didn't see out 1m2f on rain-softened ground last time but is running out of excuses. |

18th Sep 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Has shown ability in his last three starts and did well to finish third of ten on handicap debut at Bath (1m, good to soft) last time given that he didn't enjoy a smooth trip; could make an impact on AW debut, though he could do with breaking better than he has been. |

Plenty of short-priced defeats to her name but doesn't do anything wrong and the cheekpieces have helped, with two Kempton wins from the front this summer; has a career-high mark to overcome, having gone up another 3lb for her Sandown near-miss. |

Two wins as a 3yo came over a round 1m on soft ground and she's entitled to have come on for her Ripon return seven weeks ago; one to consider. |

9st 7lb |
6lb below his last winning mark but recent form has been patchy, his narrow defeat at Wolverhampton (8.6f, Tapeta) last month surrounded by lesser efforts at the same track; 1-18 on AW; others more compelling. |

27th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Normally starts slowly; goes well fresh so would like to have seen more on reappearance at Bath and didn't fare much better there four weeks ago; fourth is the best he's managed on AW; passed over. |
20/1 |

5th 1 (1) |
29th Apr 2026 Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
He made a winning reappearance here in 2024 and 2025 so it's disconcerting he was well beaten on his comeback here 24 days ago, and he could do with breaking sharper; however, it's possible he needed the run this time and, having won three times last year, he's entitled to respect. |
7/1 |

9th 2 (1) |
5th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Two of his eight wins have been over C&D and they were first time out in April 2024 and April 2025; two wins last summer ensure that he remains much higher in the weights but that reappearance record here is striking. |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Serial slow-starter who has won seven times over 6f/7f on the AW; held in handicaps lately, but the return to this level offers hope and he's capable of playing a part if things pan out his way. |
10/1 |

8th 9 (10) |
27th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
8st 8lb |
Serial slow starter who switches back from blinkers to the visor sported for last month's 0-50 Kempton win; will be happier back up from 6f but is yet another who'll need some luck from a wide stall. |

6th 11 (11) |

Infrequent winner who's found his level again in lesser handicaps of late having missed almost a year; gave his running once more behind Ajrad over C&D 11 days ago and is 7lb better off but the winner had a good bit in hand that day. |

11 months off before this season and returned to some form when second of 13 over C&D (good to firm) three weeks ago; capable of better last term, including on soft, so he's back in place contention, but no win since 2022. |

25th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |

The last six of his seven wins have been at Ffos Las and four of the last five were on heavy going, including two over 1m2f last month; latest win was under Jessica Llewellyn and by 16l, but an 11lb higher mark has now kicked in; that, and the way he's drawn a blank at other tracks and over 1m3f/1m4f, pours some cold water on his chance. |
