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. |

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. |
3/1 |

1st 5 (2) |
29th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
C&D winner who is 3lb lower than when last successful; second of nine at Lingfield (5f, AW) in September but he was below his best on turf on his next three outings; returns from a 97-day absence but he's of interest back on the AW. |

22nd May 2026 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
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. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 2 (2) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Well beaten on reappearance at Newcastle (6f, AW) 30 days ago and needs to be an entirely different proposition today; however, he's on a competitive mark on last season's best efforts and his C&D form figures read 123, with all three of those runs coming in cheekpieces (which go back on). |

20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Hasn't won for a while but was an encouraging third on his return at action at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 16 days ago; sports a first-time visor and is well-handicapped on his old form. |
9/1 |
|
3rd 5 (6) |
4th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Has returned to AW this year, best efforts when placed twice; losing run is mounting up but he has loads of Windsor form, including three wins, and returns to this venue off an attractive mark; possibilities. |

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. |

9th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
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. |
12/1 |
|
5th 10 (4) |
16th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Good efforts on his last three 5f runs but in between there have been two lesser efforts over 6f; did win over C&D off 1lb higher last November though and he can't be left out of calculations. |

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 |

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 |

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]
