28th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Scored with a fair degree of authority at Ayr (1m2f, good; from 2lb lower) in April 2025; absent since toiling at Chester 362 days ago, which raises concerns, but he did win over C&D on his 2024 reappearance; the betting should help to guide expectations. |

31st May 2025 Good To Soft 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who was all the sharper for his reappearance when resuming his progression with a 2l win at Ayr (1m2f, good); the runner-up was 6l clear of the third so the handicapper could have put him up by more than 4lb; could be more to come from him now stepping up to 1m4f for the first time. |

14th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 6 |
10st 8lb |
Regressive maiden who's been running over further in recent times, latterly when below market expectations over 1m6f here; capable off this mark under Daniel Perrin, who's taking his first ride under rules. |

7th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
25-race maiden who runs the odd decent race but makes limited appeal for win purposes. |

28th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 3 |
8st 9lb |
Runner-up three times last season, including C&D; respectable fourth of ten to Spioradalta on C&D reappearance (good to soft); well beaten at the York Dante meeting since but should find this a bit easier. |
12/1 |
|
10th 17 (7) |
15th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
8st 5lb |
Runner-up three times last season, including in a big field over C&D (good), and he could improve for last month's reappearance run at Ripon; however, this is a tough contest in which to try to snap a 13-race losing run. |
20/1 |
|
4th 6 (5) |
16th Apr 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
0-11 last year when not at his best on his final few runs; however, he was runner-up three times last season, including in this race on his reappearance (good), and he's 2lb lower 12 months on; capable of having a big say. |

8st 10lb |
Record in AW handicaps since last June reads 511215111; finished strongly from the rear to collar Qitaal (who finished third) near the line and shade a blanket finish over C&D last time; has to enter calculations again off only 2lb higher. |

1st 3 (10) |
10th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Record in AW handicaps since last June reads 51121511 including an emphatic win over C&D; off since winning by a nose at Kempton (1m3f, Polytrack) in December and now 8lb higher, but still hard to leave him out of calculations. |
