30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Habitual slow starter who is 0-24 in Britain; now 5lb lower than when finishing well for third at Kempton (6f) in December but this year's form has been disappointing; others are much less risky. |
9/1 |

25th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Habitual slow starter who is 0-23 in Britain; perked up with a close third over C&D (20-1) in December but he's struggled in last two runs and others carry fewer risks. |

27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Reliable operator on AW and after wins at Chelmsford and Wolverhampton he found only Tuco Salamanca too strong in his hat-trick bid in March; better off with that rival today but not sure he's quite so progressive. |
16/1 |

2nd 3 (3) |
28th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
2-2 this year, winning 6f handicaps at Chelmsford in January and at Wolverhampton three weeks ago; 6lb rise for latest success takes him to a career-high mark but he is well drawn and should give it another good go. |
6/1 |
|
1st 5 (4) |
7th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Running in this race for the third time, having finished second in 2024 and fourth last year; those runs were after a break but he has the benefit of a run this time around, winning a 6f handicap at Chelmsford five weeks ago; still on a feasible mark and he is a key player for a stable going well. |

9st 4lb |
Best with positive tactics, as when leading until well inside final 1f at Goodwood in May; only tenth at Epsom on Oaks day but that was a warm race and he's had a break since; goes well on soft ground; possibilities. |
14/1 |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 2 |

8yo who has been as good as ever this spring, short-headed at Musselburgh (7f, good) then second of 14 to Crimson Spirit at Goodwood (7f, good); last season's two wins came on soft ground; effective here; respected. |

Never easily knocked when competing here; had no excuses behind a couple of these 12 days ago but ran his usual sold race; has won on slow and fast ground. |
10/1 |

17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Form dipped slightly when never-dangerous favourite in Class 3 here three weeks ago, following two seconds and a win (all also C&D) on previous three starts; back to Class 4 and, like most of these, has each-way claims. |
7/1 |

27th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
In excellent form of late and ended a long losing run with a deserved fourth C&D win in eight-runner contest a week ago; very much one to consider under a 4lb penalty with Oisin Murphy again up. |

31st Dec 2023 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Capable at the right level and she ran right up to her best when a close third at Kempton 18 days ago (6f), not aiding her cause by hanging left in the closing stages; good chance if she can keep straighter this time. |

30th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 42y Class 3 |
8st 8lb |
Commendable third of 18 on seasonal debut at Ascot (6f, good to firm) in May and bounced back from lesser effort when close second at Newmarket (5f, good) last week; remains on a workable mark and the forecast rain won't faze him; shortlisted. |
5/1 |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Disappointed when dropped back to 5f in June and absent for ten weeks since but was commendable third of 18 on seasonal debut at Ascot (6f, good to firm) in May and is now 1lb lower; player if back on song. |
10/1 |

12th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Soon off the mark for this yard at Chelmsford (AW) in December and it was a fine return when quickly out of the stalls and finishing third of 18 at Ascot (again 6f, good to firm); respected off the same mark despite his unfavourable draw; goes on all ground. |

10th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Capable off this sort of mark and although this is a Class 5 in name, it's effectively a Class 6; solid effort in a better race over C&D last week; leading claims with Rossa Ryan booked. |
9/4 |

4th 9 (1) |
1st Oct 2024 Soft 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Best effort this year when third at Nottingham (6f) in May; 2-2 under Benoit De La Sayette when the ground is soft, the wins gained off higher marks in spring 2023; interesting on a similar surface. |

18th Sep 2024 Good 0m 6f 3y Class 5 |

The winner of eight of her 48 starts; promising return from 112 days off at Chelmsford 18 days ago; should run her race but perhaps vulnerable to younger rivals. |

8th Sep 2023 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Returning from nine months off when beaten a neck in a Yarmouth maiden (7f, good to soft) in July (winner has gone in again since), but nowhere near that form at Nottingham (1m, good) last month; nicely bred and worth a second look now switched to a handicap. |
20/1 |

11/2 |
Verdict
Judged on best form, AMAZONIAN DREAM looks capable of defying a 5lb penalty for his Windsor success. Knebworth, who holds a solid chance, is second choice ahead of Fantasy Master. Magnificence would command respect if turning up here instead of Doncaster.[Steve Boow]
