21st May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Two wins at 7f on AW and he went close on that surface at Wolverhampton (7f) in March; below that form on last two starts and has something to prove back at 6f on this forecast easy turf; blinkers go on. |

27th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Regressive gelding who's often been inclined to pull hard since returning from a year off; winless since his 3yo days and there are safer options. |

10th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Overall record of 2-30 but this 7yo has been in good form recently and he was only just caught over C&D last time; only 1lb higher and she should make another bold bid. |

31st May 2024 Soft 0m 6f 195y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Has dropped a long way in the weights and is 5lb lower than when runner-up in a big-field handicap at Newmarket (7f, heavy) last November; needs to better her three efforts since returning in March, though. |

Three wins, the latest over 6f at Pontefract in October 2022 (good to soft); good run when second over 7f at Newmarket in November (7f, heavy) but disappointing since. |

16th Jun 2024 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
2-3 on turf, winning a Nottingham maiden by 9l in May last year (6f, soft) and a 7f handicap at Ayr in April (good); poor run when favourite at Catterick last time (7f, soft; never travelling); needs to bounce back. |

23rd May 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Soft-ground maiden winner who returned to form with narrow win at Ayr (7f, good) last month; it was a tight finish but she's just 2lb higher today and this lightly raced 4yo could have more to offer. |

10th Sep 2024 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Completed an AW hat-trick in the autumn of 2022, but despite having dropped below the marks he defied for his last two wins he has fallen just short of late; down another 1lb but others look more compelling. |
7/1 |

4th 5 (1) |
30th Aug 2024 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Won final three AW starts in 2022, at 7f and 1m; missed 2023 and slow to find form again but he gave way only late on at Kempton recently (first run following wind surgery) and too well treated to ignore. |
3/1 |

4th 12 (8) |
14th Aug 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Ended 2022 on a sharp upward curve but he missed 2023 and it's taken him a while to find his feet this year; latest third to Dutch Kingdom at Lingfield was better though and a subsequent wind operation could prompt another step forward. |

26th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
9yo who needs to produce more than he's managed the last twice but before those he was a creditable fifth in the Ayr Bronze Cup and he's dropped to a dangerous mark; not written off. |
14/1 |

5th 1 (8) |
18th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 5f 217y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Most of his nine wins on soft or heavy; finished close up in the Ayr Bronze Cup last month and ran well enough to think he's still in reasonable form when fifth in a higher grade than this at Haydock last time; in the mix. |
15/2 |

6th 10 (2) |
28th Sep 2024 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
Most of his nine wins on soft or heavy; finished close up in the Ayr Bronze Cup last weekend which gives him a fighting chance here but he has a better overall record on that track than this one and remains on much the same mark as when well adrift of Trilby here in April. |

1st Aug 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
8yo who is without a win since October 2023 and has finished soundly beaten in Class 5 handicaps on her last two starts; however, before those she went close in one at Chepstow in May and if rediscovering that form she'll be very tough to beat now dropped into a classified. |

19th Jul 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

On the downgrade in recent times and no surprise to see her fail to build on her Chepstow second when well held at Hamilton last time; the blinkers come off again tonight. |

Won two of his last three starts, picking up well to land an apprentice handicap over C&D last week; unpenalised and looks to have plenty in his favour. |

31st Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Consistent spell over 7f featured an Epsom win in July; well held on penultimate start, though, and never got into it over 1m at Brighton on latest (patchy record over 1m); good chance if back to her peak. |

Verdict
This looks tricky and the market should be informative. Spirit Of Breeze ended last season with a strong-finishing win over 6f here and is respected at this new trip on his return. Cold Stare is ideally suited by the mud and could be a big factor back on turf, while Shandy Star enters the reckoning on a piece of form in the autumn. However, it might be worth siding with the lightly raced 4yo CUE’S BEAU, who looks interesting on this drop back in trip and her only previous run on turf resulted in a 9l win on soft ground.[David Moon]
