1st May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Trainer on a lengthy losing run but has had a good few pop up at big prices here down the years; this gelding, whose best work for Archie Watson came on the AW, will need to improve a lot upon his two starts for current connections if he's to follow suit. |

15th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Seven-time AW scorer, mainly over 1m, most recently in January; latest effort (failed to beat a rival) took turf record to 0-16; enough to prove back over 7f for first time in five years. |
33/1 |
|
11th 10 (3) |
1st May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Had the run of things when winning over Newcastle's 1m in January and has since finished behind both Dosman and Angel Hunter; goes to work today off his 8lb lower turf mark but that's because he's 0-15 on grass. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 1 (4) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Lightly raced since winning this last year off a 7lb lower mark; dictated steady fractions when winning his penultimate race at Newcastle (1m) and then well held off this rating at Southwell; may need everything to go like clockwork if he's to repeat last year's win off this higher mark. |

27th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 2 |

Came from off the pace to win a 7f handicap at Wolverhampton in fine style in December; beaten twice since but she hasn't run badly; fully exposed but a strong pace would enhance her claims. |
12/1 |
|
5th 7 (5) |
16th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Six-time AW winner but has high mileage and is more exposed than most of today's rivals; gained her most recent success (penultimate start) in Class 5 and faces a stiffer task at this level. |
16/1 |
|
4th 4 (12) |
4th Nov 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

20th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Returned from two-month break with a win at Wetherby (1m, good to firm) last month and he went close at Thirsk (1m, good) on Saturday; this C&D winner has very solid claims off the same mark as four days ago. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 3 (9) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Yard won this or a division of it three times since 2016, including with this one in 2024; successful return to turf at Wetherby (1m, good to firm; second Rajapour was hampered) in April and didn't do much damage to his mark by going back up just 2lb; the stronger the pace the better; respected. |
11/2 |

1st 4 (10) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
He was winning for the fifth time when landing a 1m handicap at Southwell in December; not far short of that level in defeat on his next two starts; each-way shout if getting a good pace to aim at. |

Brings positives, being a dual course scorer who is back on last winning mark; the negative is that he dropped right away and finished tailed-off last on seasonal debut. |
25/1 |

12th 2 (4) |
16th Jun 2025 Soft 1m 1f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Has two wins on soft but this is his first run on the Flat since last October, and first since pulled up over hurdles in November, and was below his best on all three previous visits to this track; best watched. |
14/1 |

26th Nov 2024 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |

Little to get excited about in three starts over hurdles last year, but he has won six times on the Flat including this summer; could step forward now switched to a handicap. |

11-84; runner-up at Carlisle (1m, soft; joint-favourite) in July on last turf appearance; 0-4 on AW (1m-1m2f) since, not doing enough to suggest his turn is near; blinkers are added on this attempt for first win since April 2023. |

Veteran (13-102); has won just once since late 2024, when edging out Pallas Lord over C&D (15-2) on New Year's Day; kept on after a slow start, fifth of seven, at Ayr (7f; 33-1) four weeks ago. |

Five-time winner on the Flat in Britain; 0-11 hurdling for this yard, best effort yet when runner-up in a claimer at Clonmel in February; leading when slipped up going to three out at the same venue nine weeks ago; not ruled out. |

22nd May 2026 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Useful on his day but losing run is mounting up and two duck eggs this year leave a question mark over his current form; chance partly depends on how well he responds to the removal of usual cheekpieces. |
7/1 |
|
14th 20 (21) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Showed his effectiveness over a straight 1m when beaten a nose in the 2025 Lincoln at Doncaster (good to soft) and he's now 3lb lower; several respectable efforts afterwards, and 6f on good ground was probably too sharp on his sole outing in Bahrain over the winter; certainly well handicapped on best form and well worth a market check after 106 days off. |
20/1 |
|
15 (22) |
18th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
0-10 on turf but he went very close behind Godwinson in the Lincoln (1m, good to soft) in March and is also effective on good ground; denied a clear run when keeping on for a close seventh of 12 at Newcastle (7f, AW) three weeks ago and he's one to be interested in now back up in trip. |

Lightly raced 4yo who won a 1m novice at Newcastle on his second start last March; raced freely in a steadily run 1m2f handicap at Newcastle on his return from a seven-month break four weeks ago, tiring in the closing stages; can do better and this represents an ease in class. |
