12th Oct 2024 Soft 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Landed another Chester win in May but behind Stressfree, Have Secret and Paddy The Squire there last month, albeit perhaps just needing the outing after 11 weeks off; acts on heavy. |
18/1 |

7th 1 (8) |
14th Sep 2024 Heavy 1m 2f 70y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
C&D winner on soft and good to firm at the last two May meetings; below par at Epsom and Newcastle this summer but returns from an 11-week break only 1lb above the mark he defied in May. |
11/2 |

29th Jun 2024 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Enhanced his good Chester record there in May (1m2f, good to firm); comfortably held off this mark at Epsom since but good chance he'll bounce back and Wolverhampton exploits bode well for his first visit here. |

13th Sep 2025 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Has record of 4-10 at Chester and he won this race in 2023; no joy in Bahrain last winter and has mixed record since returned to Britain but he won at Haydock (1m2f, good) in June and was only just caught at Chelmsford last time; remains feasibly treated on his best form and he's respected back at this track. |
4/1 |

8 (2) |
7th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Ended a long losing run when scoring off a reduced mark at Haydock (1m2f, good) in June but he dropped right out in his follow-up bid there two weeks later; now drops back in trip but he's not easy to predict and has had only three AW runs in his 42-race career; others preferred. |
13/2 |

12th 9 (16) |
5th Jul 2025 Good 1m 3f 175y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Snapped a long losing run and capitalised on a reduced mark over 10.4f here (good) a fortnight ago; enjoyed the run of the race in front and it might be the case this longer trip stretches him nowadays, but he did it nicely last time and remains well treated on old form back up 6lb; not discounted. |

21st Jan 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Won a 1m3f Class 5 handicap at Southwell in October and slightly better form when collared late over 1m2f at Lingfield 11 days ago; 1lb higher in a better race but current wellbeing will count for plenty here. |
9/2 |

30th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
3-36 and has suffered heavy defeats on turf in two his last three starts, but he went down by just a head at Kempton (1m3f, Polytrack) in between; perhaps not the most reliable, but would be a player on that form. |

28th Sep 2025 Good 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |

Good second off this mark in better race over C&D on Derby day, having scored at Chester the time before; not in the same form since and suffered a heavy defeat last Sunday. |

21st Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 4f 14y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Has only won over 1m4f at Chester in his last 26 starts; feasibly handicapped but he hasn't threatened in last four runs and others are more persuasive; 0-2 here. |

23rd Sep 2025 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Fine on Tapeta but has done most winning round Chelmsford, always over 1m2f; generally consistent in recent times, without looking quite as good, and has to prove his stamina going beyond 1m4f for the first time; the usual headgear comes off. |
10/1 |
|
1 (4) |
21st Aug 2025 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Much more exposed than some of these and usually runs over 1m2f but gave pretty good account when fourth in valuable Chelmsford handicap (1m2f) a fortnight and is 1lb lower here; could have a say. |
4/1 |
|
9 (5) |
7th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Formerly a front-runner but more often held up these days; finished a 4l seventh at Wolverhampton in last two starts but he's 5-9 at Chelmsford and was runner-up over C&D in June; has possibilities back at this track and he needs a close look with Hollie Doyle booked. |

25th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Five-time winner who has been operating close to his best in defeat this year but not last time at Epsom when in first-time cheekpieces; even if back on song, others are more intriguing. |
25/1 |
|
6th 4 (4) |
28th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 17y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Two AW wins in December and returned to turf with 3l third of eight at Pontefract (1m2f, good) last Tuesday; might not be far away but there's a suspicion that this exposed 7yo might find a few too good; cheekpieces go on. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 10 (10) |
21st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 5y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Two AW wins in December (1m2f/9.4f) and good third at Kempton (1m4f, AW) last month; no threat at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) last time but that was a hot contest and this three-time turf winner is not ruled out each-way. |

2nd Aug 2025 Soft 1m 1f 11y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Placed twice in a row in Bahrain earlier this year and didn't run badly when fifth of seven at Windsor in June following a three-month break; could build on that latest run and continues to drop down the weights, but he's without a win since July 2023 and others are more compelling. |
40/1 |
|
1 (3) |
30th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
10st 4lb |
Well treated on old form but his last win was almost two years ago; two placed efforts in Bahrain (1m1f/1m2f) earlier this year but he returned to Britain with a heavy defeat at Kempton in March; now drops back in grade but he's hard to predict and comes with risks attached after a break. |
16/1 |
|
11th 12 (12) |
29th Mar 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Made most when second in this race last year off 11lb higher, the last of only three ventures on AW; that has to catch the eye and he also has a chance on turf form for Charlie Johnston as recent as September; fit from placed efforts in Bahrain for new yard this year and a case can be made. |
