13th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 10lb |
Good strike-rate on AW includes a Listed sprint double at Lingfield this year; has lots of good form on turf, including very close third in this race two years ago and respectable fourth in Newmarket Group 3 last time; still a maiden (0-19) in this sphere, however. |

16th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
Good strike-rate on AW includes a Listed sprint double at Lingfield this year, sharing the spoils with Completely Random on reappearance; similar to that rival, looks far from guaranteed to maintain the form back on turf; 0-18 in this sphere. |

21st Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Smart on turf but AW is his thing and he added another Listed win to his tally when dead-heating in the Kachy Stakes (6f) here three weeks ago; has a penalty to shoulder but that was also the case when he won the corresponding race in 2024 (run at Southwell); a lower draw would have been preferable but he looks set to go well again. |

31st May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Group 3 winner at Ascot (6f, soft) last October and he's versatile ground-wise; down to a dangerous mark but he hasn't been at the top of his game on his four runs this year, in handicaps on the last two occasions, and he needs to turn things around in a first-time tongue-tie and reapplied cheekpieces. |
14/1 |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Successful in major handicap in 2023 and a few Group races since but balance of 2026 form suggests he's unlikely to defy top weight in this field. |
14/1 |

25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Ended last season with a game win in Group 3 at Ascot (6f, soft) in October; repeatedly met trouble when only seventh in Saudi Arabia (a race he'd won two years earlier) in February and things didn't really go his way again in a Listed race at Doncaster last month; has possibilities on this drop back in class and his last handicap win was off 1lb higher. |

6th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Won the Listed Golden Rose at Lingfield in November 2023 and landed a valuable 6f Class 2 handicap here (off 106) the following summer; has finally slipped back down the weights, giving notice of a return to form (third) in an added visor at Lingfield (7f) 51 days ago; respected. |

3rd 4 (7) |
14th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Good runs few and far between since August 2024; should be well handicapped but that has been the case for a while and he hasn't shown much this year; now tried in a visor; stable also run Heathcliff. |
20/1 |

9th 1 (2) |
30th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Not the force of old but he ran well when third in a hot Newcastle handicap last May (6f; RPR 108) and he races off a 7lb lower mark today; neither subsequent run has been comparable but this is a drop in grade and he can't be ruled out. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Long time since he won on turf and isn't as good now but remains consistent; returns from three months off but he can go well fresh; down to a career-low mark but he'd have preferred plenty of rain. |
14/1 |

6th 1 (4) |
12th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Ran well in a 0-90 at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) in December and was only beaten around 2l when fifth of seven there nine days ago; now 5lb below his last winning mark but this isn't guaranteed to be run to suit his hold-up style. |
4/1 |

5th 1 (3) |
3rd Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Conditions suit and he ran well for third in a stronger race over C&D in late December; not so good at Newcastle two weeks ago but he's still a key player dropped into a Class 4. |

25th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
10yo who isn't the same force as last year and may not want soft ground, but he's performed respectably in hot handicaps on his last few starts and is on a dangerous mark now dropping back down in grade; possible player. |
11/2 |

7th 4 (12) |
21st Sep 2024 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Top-of-the-trees in the best sprint handicaps down the years, winning the Stewards' Cup in 2020 and the Gold Cup in 2022; failed to beat a rival here 12 months ago but the weight has fallen off his back since and his run at the Curragh last week was encouraging; could well have a decent crack at this; refitted cheekpieces replace regular visor. |

16th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Should be thrown in on even last season's best but he has found it tough going for Robert Cowell this year; drops in class with cheekpieces fitted but drawn widest and others look safer. |

14th Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Off a 3lb lower mark when very nearly winning a 6f Class 2 handicap here last October (soft) on final run for John Ryan; however, a case can't be made on what he's shown during a light 2025 campaign. |
33/1 |

21st Aug 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Interesting on the pick of his form and he's on the same mark as when second in a better race at Doncaster last October (6f, soft); two modest efforts for his new yard this year but this is less taxing than the Stewards' Cup last time. |
