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 |

11th 8 (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. |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
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. |
12/1 |

22nd May 2026 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |

Went close at Musselburgh (7f, good) last time, showing he retains full ability aged eight; dual winner at Goodwood and may remain competitive; gained last three wins on soft ground. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
His last win was in December 2024 but he's finished runner-up over C&D (good to firm) in his last two starts including behind Lequinto on his penultimate run; didn't get much luck when returned to hold-up tactics last Monday and he looks interesting with Oisin Murphy booked again. |
15/8 |
|
2nd 9 (8) |
13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Losing turf run goes back over two years but his last three wins on grass have come over C&D, including on good to firm, and he ran another good race on this track two weeks ago; has better claims than many. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 2 (10) |
29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
His last success was in December 2024 but he's on a dangerous mark and wasn't beaten far in a Class 3 over C&D (good to firm) two weeks ago; has possibilities on this big drop back in grade and three of his eight wins have come at this track; visor is removed and cheekpieces return. |

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. |

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. |

3rd 16 (3) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Ended 2025 with a 6f win at Chelmsford in December; 2lb higher mark and stronger opposition might find him out back from five months off. |

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. |
16/1 |
|
7th 3 (6) |
18th Sep 2024 Good 0m 6f 3y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
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 |

took keen hold, led, headed over 2f out, soon weakened and eased |
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]
