20th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Three AW wins last year, the latest over C&D in October and he's now back to that mark for the first time since; bits of encouragement since give him a place in calculations. |

Fast-finishing fourth over 1m2f at Lingfield in January but he hasn't found the same form in two subsequent outings there; Marquand up but others bring more compelling claims. |

Fast-finishing fourth over C&D 19 days ago but he wasn't in the same form behind Tommy's Promise here one week later; Rossa Ryan booked and he's capable of a big run at this level. |

Two Yarmouth runs over 1m2f in April tie in closely with A Major Payne, including when a whisker behind that rival in third a fortnight ago; shouldn't be much between the pair again. |

3rd 5 (4) |
30th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 23y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Won at Sandown (1m2f) last summer in first two starts after cheekpieces were refitted; respectable in two of four starts since, including over C&D recently when finishing on the heels of A Major Payne; should be competitive. |

Successful in first two starts after cheekpieces were refitted, at Sandown (1m2f; good and soft) last summer, but his form went to pot in two of three runs after; needs to return in much better form. |

3lb lower than winning at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) in November and was running well when last seen on turf last summer, including a win here (11.5f, good to firm); still capable over this shorter trip and shortlisted. |

25th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 3 |
8st 9lb |
Prevailed by a neck at Wolverhampton (9.5f) last time for a fifth AW win; upped in grade but receives weight all round and is a solid contender, with C&D form figures reading 1223. |
6/1 |
|
1st 9 (9) |
27th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Has two course wins, including one over C&D; fair fifth of 11 at Lingfield (1m, AW) 13 days ago an first outing for six months; should come on for the run but looks high enough in the weights for now. |
10/1 |

5th 9 (9) |
14th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Decent record round here, including a C&D win last April, one of three victories in 2025; gone well fresh but is used to plying his trade in lesser company and resumes from six months off on a career-high mark (4lb higher than when last successful). |

9st 4lb |
Four wins, two seconds and two thirds to his name from ten runs over C&D and bounced back to form 18 days ago (7f, Polytrack) on his first start since undergoing a second round of wind surgery; on a very attractive mark if building on that. |

20th Oct 2025 Good 2m 1f 24y Class 6 |
10st 7lb |
Flat and hurdle winner who showed signs of a revival when runner-up at Ffos Las (1m4f, soft) in August but she was well held here next time; bit to prove again after that and she's untried beyond 1m4f on the Flat. |
6/1 |

14th Sep 2025 Heavy 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Returned from break with two below-par runs in July but last month's Ffos Las second (1m4f, soft) was much better, and she was a heavy-ground C&D winner off today's mark last autumn; high on the list. |
4/1 |

29th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 209y Class 6 |

Has possibly found good ground on the quick side of late but she was a wide-margin winner on heavy (1m2f) last October and won over hurdles (good to soft) the following month so any rain would suit; not ruled out. |

1st Sep 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
The form of his two wins here (1m2f/1m) this summer has substance; raced freely and folded over 1m2f last time when bidding for Brighton hat-trick, suggesting he'll benefit from this drop back in trip; remains of interest at this level. |

Cheekpieces were on for both of his wins in the summer of 2024 but he's generally struggled in that aid since and trailed the field on three of his last four starts; newly fitted visor needs to prompt a big revival. |
