7th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
11-time AW winner; quiet for Chelsea Banham this year but dropping down the weights and he is one of four runners on the card for connections that all require close market surveillance. |
9/1 |

9th 13 (1) |
20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
11-time AW winner but he's been out of sorts for new yard since December and was last of eight over C&D last time; mark is tumbling but he has lots to prove and needs a major revival. |
66/1 |
|
8th 6 (8) |
4th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
All 11 wins on the AW, including one over C&D, though his latest success for the Moores was in a Newcastle seller (1m, Tapeta) in October; out of the frame in all four starts for this yard since then and may be best watched despite his declining mark. |

8th 6 (4) |
13th Jun 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 8lb |
Well suited by switchback tracks and is on his last winning mark but he offered very little for his new yard at a big price on his recent comeback; headgear goes back on (first-time cheekpieces). |
50/1 |

3 (5) |
1st Jun 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
The latest of his seven wins on turf was in April 2024 off today's mark; out of form on last three starts last year, including with slow starts, and has since left the Newland/Insole stable; no tongue-tie or other headgear today, for the first time since 2021. |

21st Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Front-runner who doesn't have the best strike-rate (3-48), but he is consistent and again ran well when fourth of 11 from the outside stall over C&D 15 days ago; may not face too much competition for the lead and could go well again. |

4th 13 (12) |
6th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |

All three wins have been at this track, one over C&D; hasn't been firing on all cylinders this year though and needs the return to this track to bring about a revival. |

4th 6 (2) |
23rd Jun 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
Front-runner; 0-12 on turf but has placed form and he's a three-time AW winner; last run was disappointing (stays 6f) but had been running well prior to that; a greater concern would be the forecast slow ground. |

4th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Recorded the 18th win of his long career when leading late over C&D in February (for Myla Coppins); ran well behind a thriving rival at Lingfield next time but he failed to fire over C&D a fortnight ago (finished behind Coloane); he has bounced back from quiet runs before so can't be ruled out. |
6/1 |
|
8th 7 (7) |
20th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
18th success of his long career when getting the better of Antiquity (winner since and runs in the 6.00) over C&D last month; bumped into an in-form opponent at Lingfield two weeks ago (7f; blinkered first time); another 2lb rise is not ideal but he is likely to give his running. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 2 (4) |
5th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Well into the veteran stage but he retains plenty of enthusiasm and ran on well to beat a subsequent winner (Age Of Time third) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) three weeks ago, his 18th success; a 2lb rise not excessive but late in the day to be giving blinkers a go (has run well in new headgear before). |

21st Jul 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Made it 3-3 over C&D when winning off a 3lb lower mark five weeks ago (ridden from off the pace by Jack Callan that night and may be again from stall 13); stable flying this month, with seven winners from its last 15 runners at the start of the day, and he holds good claims. |
6/1 |
|
1st 4 (4) |
16th Jun 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Currently 2-2 over C&D and 2-2 in cheekpieces (again off tonight) following wins here in April; excuses off his revised mark since and he is one to consider back on Tapeta. |
8/1 |
|
5th 5 (1) |
6th Jun 2026 Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Seemingly boosted by cheekpieces when winning twice at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) in April and endured a wide trip before keeping on steadily for sixth at Kempton (1m, AW; no headgear, as today) last month; versatile ground-wise on turf; can't be ignored. |

9st 10lb |
Sole win over 1m on AW in late 2022; 0-11 on turf but he hasn't often had the fast ground that suits and he looks well worth another go back at this trip after weakening over 1m2f here this month; can be involved. |

5th Jun 2024 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |

Lacks consistency, has won only once (26 races) and is better known nowadays on the AW; beaten a head three starts back at Kempton (Polytrack) and is back to the same career-low mark, but others have more pressing claims. |

27th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Five-time AW winner (6f/7f), who scored at Kempton in January and at Chelmsford in March; no joy in last four runs but he's had another wind operation and it wouldn't be a surprise if he made a bold bid on this return to AW. |
12/1 |
|
5th 8 (10) |
4th Aug 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Has only ever placed once on turf, that coming over C&D (good to firm) a year ago, and isn't as good as on the AW but he is handicapped accordingly; didn't look to have any excuses here six weeks ago and today's slower ground may not be optimal. |
6/1 |

21st Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Two front-running wins on Polytrack earlier in the year and ran as well as could have been expected in better company last time; currently rated a stone lower on turf (for a good reason) but did go close over C&D last July off a 4lb lower mark. |

All three wins gained here, doing well to overcome pace bias on Saturday (7f); the other two wins came over this trip and he's not handicapped out of it under a 5lb penalty. |

Both wins have come over C&D and he's reached the frame here in his last three runs; wasn't far behind Harry The Haggler when third last time and has possibilities if this sets up for his closing style. |

0-5 for Owen Burrows and 0-3 for this yard but close third third at Chelmsford (1m, AW; held up) on penultimate start was his best result; raced freely and made most when disappointing at Lingfield (1m, AW) 13 days later, but final start last term (Sandown; held up) suggested he stays 1m2f. |
