3rd Oct 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Prolific AW winner whose offputting 0-21 strike-rate on turf doesn't do him anywhere near justice, as he's finished in the frame many times in Group sprints, including on this track; not far away in a Group 3 at Newbury recently and he could go well at a price now back at 6f. |

3rd 1 (8) |
19th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 34y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Ten-time AW winner; has comparable form on turf, including in Group 3 races at Newbury, and holds place claims on the figures in this field; harder to make first choice, being 0-20 in this sphere. |

26th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Not as good or consistent as he was and is always capable of fluffing the start; has been running over 6f on turf in recent times and will need things to fall just so back to 5f. |

Had been running well but has performed miserably in his last two races when awkward at the start both times. |

Good run of form ground to a halt at Thirsk ten days ago when he wasn't on his best behaviour in the stalls; has the ability to feature off this mark but is not without risk. |

21st Mar 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
High-class sprinter on turf and AW; his two C&D wins have both been mighty performances and there is no doubt he has the raw ability to give the weight away to today's opponents; sadly he has become a nightmare at the start, refusing to race in three of his last five runs; can't be supported with confidence; stable run four here. |
16/1 |

28th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
High-class sprinter on his day and he has tasted defeat in just one of his four runs on AW; fine effort to beat Marshman in a Listed race here in February and third in a Newmarket Group 3 next time; no doubt he has the ability to win a race of this nature but he is increasingly troublesome at the start and he has refused to race twice this summer; capable but too much risk attached to recommend. |

4th Mar 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Record of 4-22 on AW; no win since 2023 but has consistent handicap form this winter, going close on a few occasions, and faced a stiff task at Listed level last time; fighting chance off current mark. |
9/2 |

27th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
A fair 5f winner in 2025 but yet to fire this season, tenth of 12 in 6f Hamilton handicap 16 days ago; needs to take a big step forward. |
16/1 |

10th 11 (8) |
11th Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Course winner last June off a 10lb higher mark than today's, but he's been struggling in recent starts and hasn't won over 6f since August 2022; best watched at present. |
33/1 |

10th 9 (7) |
1st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |

Fine servant down the years but he hasn't won over 6f since August 2022; on a good mark and can pop up soon but would like to see more from him before getting involved. |

5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Prolific winner, mainly over 6f, the latest when 2lb higher at Catterick (6f, good) in April; went close when on this mark in successive starts last month, before a below-par effort in a big-field York sprint latest; player if he can bounce back. |

24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
C&D winner; runner-up on his last two starts but this is more competitive and more minor money may be his best hope. |
10/1 |
|
2nd 1 (6) |
15th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 212y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Not the force of old but won over C&D (good) off 2lb higher in April and last week's second at Epsom (6f, good to firm) confirms he's back in form; bold show likely. |

31st May 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Established trailblazer who is 4-14 over C&D and looked to be on the way back when third of nine at Musselburgh (5f, good) at the start of the month; didn't back it up at York (5f, good to firm) next time but this is weaker; best watched for now. |

15th May 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 4lb |
Ran away with this race in 2022 and went on to show smart form on both turf and AW in the next 12 months; not stood a lot of racing since but he showed he retained ability at Musselburgh 13 days ago; this is a much stronger contest but he couldn't be discounted with confidence. |

9th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Veteran; goes well on soft ground and ran a fine race when second to Trilby (2lb worse off for 0.5l) at Haydock last time (5f, soft; tongue-tie tried); tongue-tie retained and sound each-way chance. |
6/1 |

21st May 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

His mark continues to fall but for good reason and this 9yo arrives with plenty to prove; wears a first-time tongue-tie; visor is removed. |

13th Sep 2026 Yielding 0m 6f 0y |
9st 2lb |
Listed winner last season for Jack Davison; below best in light campaign this term until more encouraging effort on yard debut eight days ago in this headgear combination, staying on into third (well behind front two) over 5f at Navan; more needed here in a much deeper race. |
14/1 |

3rd 2 (5) |
5th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y |
9st 10lb |
C&D winner; very useful on his day and has won at Group 3 and Listed level; below best in three runs this term and sold for 35,000gns last month; tongue tie goes on for stable debut and on a dangerous mark if that sparks a revival. |
16/1 |
|
23th 20 (15) |
20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Back on song when convincing winner of a 6f Listed event at Naas (yielding) last October; unable to get involved in two runs at that level in 2026 but he was badly checked back at Naas in April and in better form than the 5l defeat suggests; however, he has more to prove back on this track with good to firm ground quicker than ideal; regular cheekpieces are discarded. |
