Not the force of old and, although he retains some ability, others in this field have more pressing claims. |

12th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |

Multiple 5f winner down the years, including over C&D, but his powers appear to be on the wane; a couple of respectable efforts last month but more will be needed to win. |

10th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 110y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Course win (5f, good) last July; arrives in top form, winning Class 5 events at Bath and Newbury (5f, firm and good to firm) this summer; 2lb rise shouldn't prevent another bold bid. |
5/1 |

1st 1 (2) |
1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 34y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Ran twice over C&D last summer and performed with great credit on both occasions, finishing second to Faustus in July and filling the same position one month later; career-best effort when winning at Bath last week (5f, firm); penalty demands more but he can't be discounted. |
7/2 |

26th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Four-time AW winner who broke his turf duck at Chester last July off a 2lb lower mark (5f, good); two respectable efforts here this spring and Finley Marsh replaces an apprentice today; a big run is on the cards. |

15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 182y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Seemingly aided by first-time tongue-tie when causing 28-1 surprise on AW in February (6f) but absent since running as though something was amiss the following month and has become far too inconsistent to rely upon; not the percentage call on first turf start since summer 2024. |

6th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Returned to form out of the blue when winning a C&D handicap last month (tongue tied first time); fair effort at Southwell (5f) one week later and he will be happier back up in distance. |
11/4 |
|
4th 1 (5) |
11th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Almost a year off was followed by a couple of inauspicious efforts but he came good at a big price in a first-time tongue-tie at Newcastle (6f, Tapeta) last week; has had consistent spells once hitting form in the past and a 4lb penalty means he's still on a handy mark; big player. |

dwelt start, towards rear, pushed along halfway, raced wide on turn over 2f out, keeping on but still plenty to do inside final furlong, ran on well to lead towards finish |

14th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
9yo who has had 16 wins on AW, in January most recently; sole turf win (from 19 attempts) was at Yarmouth in 2022 but he came within a neck of another in a classified at same track (6f, good to firm) 18 days ago, which was the first time this year that he's worn his usual cheekpieces; has a shout if that form is repeated. |
5/2 |

2nd 2 (2) |
26th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
9yo who has won 16 times on AW; his sole turf win came at Yarmouth but he failed to beat a rival over C&D (good) when last seen in April and needs to bounce back after that 16l defeat; cheekpieces reapplied. |
7/2 |

8th 5 (4) |
28th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Chelmsford specialist who ran another sound race there on final start in March; only 1-17 on turf but has course form and this mark gives him a chance. |

13th Apr 2024 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Record over C&D reads 133 and her latest third of six behind The Defiant here (first-time blinkers) was even better than it looked with the blindfold being removed late; down another 1lb but the draw hasn't been kind; no headgear today. |

21st May 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Drawn wide back up to 6f last time and that run is best overlooked; previously in good form over C&D, winning at a short price late last month in 0-55 company, but this race is stronger and he's 6lb higher. |
12/1 |

9th 9 (10) |
6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Dual C&D winner who recorded his eighth AW win when coming from last to first at Southwell (5f) last week; 5lb higher under a penalty but he remains feasibly treated and is a big player again back up in trip. |
7/2 |
|
1st 4 (4) |
28th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Seven AW wins have come elsewhere but he has often run well over C&D and did so again when only narrowly failing to end a losing run here on Saturday; had no problem with returning to 5f for the first time in over a year and a likely candidate. |

24th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Conditions to suit and he ran well in defeat at Chelmsford (5f) in February/March; didn't run badly in a stronger C&D handicap last week and he can feature prominently back into 0-55 company. |
6/1 |
|
7th 10 (8) |
20th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
8st 4lb |
Finished a solid second at Chelmsford (5f Class 6) on his last two starts and his turn looks near; back up in grade but receives weight all round and remains favourably treated on plenty of form; not dismissed. |

10st 6lb |
2-4 over 6f here and 3lb lower than when winning at Lingfield (5f, Polytrack) in May; not really threatened since, though, and needs the cheekpieces to bring about a resurgence (has worn a hood). |

6f Tapeta (twice) and 5f Polytrack winner; back on her last winning mark after being well below that level in four of her five subsequent starts; bit to prove. |
