5th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
His three wins have come over 6f but he's hinted when running well over that trip this summer that this return to 7f is worth exploring; versatile ground-wise and could be in with a chance. |

14th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
C&D winner last year; promising efforts over C&D and at Yarmouth (both on soft) last month but he found things happening too quickly on good to firm ground over C&D on Monday; blinkers now replaced by a new visor. |

11th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
Form off current mark, all in Class 4, features a success over C&D in 2024 and placed efforts the last twice; steps up two grades but Oliver Carmichael takes off a handy 7lb; could go well. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |

Dry since a C&D win in 2023 and has looked on the downgrade in recent times; goes back to cheekpieces from blinkers, minus the tongue-tie again, after four months off; outsider. |

3rd Jul 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Versatile trip-wise; C&D winner; put a couple of low-key runs behind her when a front-running second at Chester three weeks ago (7.6f, good); 1lb higher but her apprentice takes off a valuable 7lb; one to consider. |
8/1 |

27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |

Twice a runner-up over 6f this winter, including here, but he raced too freely in one 7f run and he still has to prove he needs this far. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 7 (10) |
6th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
He has finished second on his last two attempts at this trip, chasing home Hundred Caps at Southwell 17 days ago; 4lb better off with his old rival today; each-way claims. |
8/1 |

2nd 5 (4) |
20th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Ran encouragingly at Lingfield (6f) on belated return to AW and the step up to 7f provides an excuse for subsequent effort; remains well treated on best turf form; possibilities. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Won at Kempton (6f, AW) last month and second of 11 at Windsor (6f, good to firm) next time; this in-form 6yo is one to consider. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 8 (8) |
4th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Generally in good form on AW since December and regained the winning thread at Kempton (6f) most recently; goes without usual cheekpieces but that was also the case when he scored over C&D (off 2lb higher) in 2024; warrants respect. |
3/1 |

1st 9 (3) |
1st Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Style of racing can leave him a hostage to fortune but he is well handicapped and has been threatening something bigger of late; should get a pace to aim at this time and he is greatly respected. |

9st 6lb |
Three wins in the first half of 2023, all over 6f on soft ground; not stood a great deal of racing in the last two years and he carries plenty of risk despite a reduced mark and suitable conditions. |

4th Oct 2024 Heavy 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Her form has been patchy since she won at Nottingham (6f, good) in May but she's now 6lb lower and can also be effective on soft ground; it might be dangerous to rule her out. |
16/1 |
|
14th 5 (16) |
15th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 160y Class 2 |

Ended her losing run at Nottingham in May (6f, good); more modest efforts than good have followed but she's 3lb lower than for the win as a result; stable also run Silent Flame. |

4th 4 (1) |
3rd Sep 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 4 |

Landed her sixth win on turf when making all at Nottingham (6f, good) in May for today's rider Oliver Searle off 1lb higher mark; beaten five times since, mostly below form, and steps back up to 7f for the first time since August 2022; vulnerable to less exposed rivals. |

Nine-race maiden who has form figures of 8898 in handicaps since March; mark is tumbling but he was always in rear at Chelmsford last time and needs a major revival back up in trip. |

1st Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Was running well at 6f and 7f here in the spring but he's never won on the AW and has seemingly gone off the boil a touch, having run a rare moderate race at Chepstow recently. |
20/1 |
|
7th 2 (5) |
21st May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Dual C&D winner who was also beaten a nose off this mark in September on last visit here (7f); running respectably on AW earlier this year but below par returned to turf at Haydock last month; this is easier and he's never confidently ruled out at this track. |
12/1 |

8th 9 (8) |
25th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Knocking at the door over 6f and 7f on AW this year; won't mind getting back on turf and he should give it another good go from the front. |

Holds weak claims on his form this winter for new yard; possibly found 5f too sharp last time but returning to 7f may not be the answer; 6f has looked his optimum trip. |

2nd Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Close third off lower AW mark at Kempton (1m) in May and fair effort when third at Salisbury (7f, good to firm) since; two of his last three wins have come over this C&D and he's respected now back here. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 2 (3) |
15th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 213y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Unraced here but a five-time turf winner over 7f at four different tracks; might well have won over 1m at Kempton (AW) last month had that race panned out more favourably; 7lb higher this time back on the grass but he can cope with this mark. |
6/1 |
|
7 (2) |
21st May 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Was having just his second start over 1m+ when running only okay at his favourite venue Epsom 29 days ago and he's towards the foot of the list in trying to capitalise on a lower AW mark here; trainer won this race last year. |
