9th Jun 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Has a poor strike-rate since 2022 and isn't particularly solid on 2025 efforts; however, drops in grade off a reduced mark and can't be dismissed; very similar type to Illusionist. |

26th May 2025 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
He's dropped to a dangerous mark and showed the odd hint of spark on occasions towards the end of last year; can go well fresh but he's been regressive and has a poor strike-rate over the last few years. |

Three wins during his latest spell on AW; close second to Dark Thirty in this contest two years ago but needs to rebound, having been comfortably held returned to turf 17 days ago. |

29th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 2y Class 3 |

2-4 at Doncaster; ended 2025 in rude health on the AW, winning handicaps at Southwell (6f), Wolverhampton and Lingfield (both 5f); his form has dipped slightly on his last two starts but it's not out of the question that this return to Doncaster will pique his interest. |

Her losing run stands at 26 but that doesn't do her justice as she's an admirable mare who has run numerous good races since that latest success; good third against male opposition at Newcastle four weeks ago; should get a good pace to aim at and more prize money would seem likely. |

25th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |
8st 7lb |
Nine wins on AW; scored at Bath on penultimate outing but is only 2-23 on turf and latest effort confirms that marks in the 80s are probably beyond him, at least nowadays, in this sphere. |
11/2 |
|
3rd 1 (4) |
25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Has a better strike-rate on AW than turf but he's capable of useful 6f form on grass and made short work of his rivals at Bath (extended 5f, good) last week; now 6lb higher but this mark isn't beyond him on past exploits; would have welcomed rain but still considered. |
5/1 |

1st 3 (12) |
17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Nine-time AW winner who won three in a row during the winter and was a creditable fifth in Class 3 at Lingfield (6f, Polytrack) two weeks ago; record of 1-21 on turf but he's on a lower mark in this sphere and he had a close call at Windsor last autumn; dangerous. |

Four-time AW winner, only 1-27 on grass; never the slightest threat on return to turf at Leicester; others have more convincing profiles. |
16/1 |
|
11th 11 (6) |
25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 7lb |
Four-time AW winner who has finished close up on Tapeta (5f/6f) in his last three runs; record of 1-26 on turf but he's on a lower mark in this sphere and he ran well in the Great St Wilfrid at Ripon (6f, good to firm) last summer; dangerous. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 13 (14) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Three-time C&D winner, including this race in 2024 off a 2lb higher mark, and he has shaped well on his last two starts; he will need luck if it gets congested up the stands' rail but too much ability to rule out. |

Completed a 5f AW hat-trick last backend and has continued in fine form this spring, runner-up in 5f Southwell handicap last time; must enter calculations back on turf. |
15/2 |

2nd 8 (12) |
21st Mar 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Ended 2025 on the up and he improved again when second in the Listed Hever Stakes at Lingfield four weeks ago; a 3lb rise demands extra but this speedy sort shouldn't be discounted. |
7/1 |

2nd 2 (3) |
21st Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Better than ever in late 2025, winning two C&D handicaps before completing his hat-trick at Wolverhampton in November; ran as well as he ever has when second over C&D in December but that defeat off a BHA mark of 96 will need bettering to trouble the principals. |

Still consistent but hasn't won in three years and isn't as good now; just a fair comeback effort over 5f here 12 days ago in second-time cheekpieces (has often worn a visor) but won't mind going back up in trip now he's had a run. |

9th Oct 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Prominent racer; ran well for second at Epsom in July (6f, good to soft); less convincing in his three starts since, albeit latest run on heavy is easy to excuse; risky but not impossible that this first taste of a Class 5 handicap will prompt a revival. |

25th Sep 2024 Heavy 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

9th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 215y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Made a bold bid when runner-up off a reduced mark at Epsom (6f, good to soft) last month but he failed to beat a rival in a big field at Windsor (behind Supreme King) last time; has something to prove again after that and his last win was over two years ago. |

Four of his five wins have come at Ascot, including when registering his only win since 2022 in the corresponding race 12 months ago; that was run at a crawl though and subsequent efforts don't suggest he is the answer. |
