26th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Retains plenty of ability aged nine and rallied well for neck success over C&D most recently, taking AW record to 11-69; back up the weights but won off this mark in 2022 and 2024; may remain competitive. |
13/2 |

1st 3 (4) |
7th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Ten-time AW winner who boasts a consistent record over C&D; high enough in the weights but his latest Kempton effort, back from a break, is best overlooked and the return here won't hurt. |
8/1 |

25th Feb 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Down in the weights before winning back to back last summer; held form quite well after, going down narrowly in sprint series final last time; Jack Gilligan steered him to success the last time he climbed aboard; sound claims back from short break. |

7th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
C&D win last May and followed up at Lingfield (6f; both good to firm) one week later; now 14lb lower so he has handicapping claims, for all his recent efforts need bettering; stable also runs Cabeza De Llave. |
10/1 |

4th 3 (5) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |

On the downgrade now but placed over C&D on two of his last three appearances; no match for Desdemona when second on latter occasion but now 11lb better off; can make his presence felt. |

8th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
His last three wins have come on the AW at Newcastle but he is effective on turf and this mark shouldn't be beyond him; stall 15 is a severe hindrance though. |
16/1 |
|
10th 1 (4) |
6th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
He had dropped down the weights prior to a ready C&D win in December, his third course success; a 4lb rise still leaves him feasibly weighted and he is high on the list. |

1st Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Well suited by conditions; made a promising stable debut 14 days ago, forcing Em Four to pull out all the stops, and that was after a 702-day absence; has to back it up but he will be a danger to all if he does. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 7 (5) |
18th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
This is his first run since April 2024 and it remains to be seen how much ability he retains; however, the handicapper has given this two-time C&D winner a chance, and he's not ruled out on his first run for John Ryan (has left John Butler); watch the betting. |

27th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 4 |

Shaped well, amid traffic issues, over 6f at Kempton on reappearance; has gained most wins over 7f, including twice at Wolverhampton; interesting back up in trip with Toby Moore taking off a handy 7lb. |

5th 4 (4) |
14th Jan 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

6f winner but majority of his wins at 7f; went back-to-back at Chepstow in May/June; not in same form since and returns to AW after a break with his mark still looking tricky; drop back down in trip also a slight query. |

5th Feb 2024 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |

Made a winning debut at Chelmsford; beaten in his five handicaps but got closer when beaten just over a length at Newcastle (6f) last time and he was running on after a slow start; considered. |

19th Jan 2024 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

11th Jan 2024 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |

She hasn't recaptured her best since returning to the AW in October; Rossa Ryan is a notable booking but there are risks attached now she's dropping back to 5f. |

28th Dec 2023 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Comes into this in red-hot form having won his last five starts on the AW, the latest when dead-heating with Recon Mission at Lingfield (5f, Polytrack) 11 days ago; meets him on the same terms and has winning form over C&D, so hard to rule out despite a 7lb higher mark and rise in grade. |

4th Dec 2023 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Four-time winner over 6f for Tim Easterby, including on the old Fibresand surface at Southwell; didn't show much on her stable debut over C&D last time (behind Ultramarine) and best to look elsewhere. |
25/1 |
|
7 (5) |
18th Nov 2023 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Mostly consistent on turf this year for Tim Easterby, sold for 5,500gns after finishing third of nine at Redcar four weeks ago; rarely seen on AW but did win at Southwell (Fibresand) earlier in career. |

String of good efforts in July and August, winning at Carlisle (6f, good to soft) and placed on five other occasions; not at his best at Pontefract 11 days ago though and he'll be 2lb lower from the weekend. |

15th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Seemingly no longer relishes the fast surfaces of 2023's peak win and placed form, judged on June's last of ten at Wetherby (5.5f), and balance of this year's form limits her appeal anyway; cheekpieces return. |
20/1 |

19th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 110y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
6f turf win two years ago remains her only success from 21 starts; not at her best in two AW runs earlier in the year and no better back on turf at Ripon a fortnight ago; down in weights but risky. |
