0-18, but runner-up four times over this trip on the AW this year; likes to go forward, tactics that are well suited to this C&D; could make the frame again. |

9st 5lb |
6f win on slow turf in June when trained by Archie Watson; generally struggled for new yard though and the addition of a tongue-tie isn't enough to tempt. |

6f winner (soft) who has been below his best in all four starts so far for this trainer; back on a handy mark but not easy to be confident he'll take advantage. |

Won off this mark at Yarmouth (5f, good to soft) last October but hasn't got going in four runs this year, beating only one rival; needs to show more. |

4th May 2026 Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
C&D winner; had a good time of things in 2025, winning four times; she has finished last in her three AW runs this year and has only dropped 3lb; may need some more help from the handicapper. |

21st Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won at her beloved Yarmouth (5f, good to soft; from 4lb lower) last October; hasn't been at her best since returning to AW recently; this is a fraction easier and she could strip fitter but others are more appealing. |

Regressive maiden who was again below market expectations over C&D last time; maybe he didn't take to soft ground that day but there can only be so many excuses. |
