1st May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
His losing sequence goes back 22 races to February 2024; however, he's often run well in the interim and he's been given a bit of help from the handicapper ahead of this reappearance; can be in the mix if fully tuned up. |
10/1 |

8th 11 (9) |
10th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
5yo whose 31 starts have been at 5f-7f and his losing spell goes back to February 2024; however, he's run many big races in the interim, most recently at Goodwood (7f, good to firm) in August when finishing strongly for a share of third, and on that evidence this first crack at 1m is well worth a go. |

3rd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
11-time AW winner (mainly on Polytrack); ought to have been suited by the soft ground when well-held fifth at Windsor on Saturday, after a break, and might find younger rivals better handicapped here. |
12/1 |

29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Likes soft ground, on which he was a close second (clear of rest) at Lingfield in June and that was after a break of 72 days; a wet day would make him interesting. |

2nd 2 (8) |
6th Jun 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Far from solid on 2026 AW form, notwithstanding a March win, and rarely seen on turf in the last two years; others preferred. |

27th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Not one to rely on but she scored at Wolverhampton (6f) in April and bounced back to form when a nose second of nine in 6f Catterick handicap ten days ago; not out of things if on her A-game again. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 2 (8) |
17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |

This mark isn't beyond her but her style of racing doesn't really lend itself to this track; others appeal more for win purposes. |
12/1 |
|
7th 7 (9) |
6th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Seven wins on the AW including two over C&D, but she needs a strong pace to run at and some luck, which she didn't get at Wolverhampton (6f, Tapeta) last month; not certain this will be run to suit either, but she has the ability to figure if it is. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 3 |

Made all over C&D in June and runner-up on his next two starts; below his best last time at Ayr but a revival would come as no surprise. |

18th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Both wins were in late 2022 and he has been looking regressive this year; wouldn't be the obvious answer after nearly three months off. |
8/1 |
|
6 (13) |
27th Jun 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
His last win was over C&D but that was in a novice in December 2022; very well treated on old form but he's faded in his five runs this year and was beaten 15l at Chepstow (7-2) last time; had a difficult track position in that race but he needs a big turnaround back in trip. |
9/1 |
|
12th 2 (2) |
30th May 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
No win since late 2022; has dropped in the weights and his reappearance effort at Doncaster wasn't a bad run but he failed to build on it at Salisbury a fortnight ago; others appeal more. |

31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 16y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
All ground seems to come alike to him and he gained his second C&D success (good to firm) last month, but a 4lb rise appeared to anchor him in his two outings since; may need the returning visor to perk him up a bit. |
5/1 |
|
7th 6 (9) |
28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Prominent racer who was well held at Chepstow last time, but that was a Class 4 event and he won that track (5f, good to firm) on his penultimate run; remains well treated on his old form and has claims if he can bounce back on this drop back in grade; acts on fast and soft ground. |
5/1 |
|
6th 6 (3) |
6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 16y Class 4 |

Exposed but very consistent and deserved to snap a losing streak over C&D recently when racing prominently and keeping on; back up 4lb. |

30th Dec 2024 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Has done her winning at 6f but the way she shaped over 7f here last time (second run for new stable) suggests this new trip is worth exploring; attractively weighted off 4lb below last winning mark; interesting. |

3rd 1 (8) |
14th Dec 2024 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Decent strike-rate on AW but form has been patchy since her last win April and she failed to beat a rival at Chelmsford (6f) on last month's stable debut; now 3lb lower than for last success but she still has stamina to prove at this trip and others are more solid; cheekpieces reapplied. |
