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. |

5th Oct 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 23y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Four of his six wins have been at Chester, where he weakened into fifth last time out (reportedly lost a shoe); has a bit to prove right now. |
13/2 |
|
5th 3 (2) |
12th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 70y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Four of his six wins have been at Chester, including this race in 2023 in which he was also second last year to Spioradalta; dropped out on last month's comeback run at Windsor but entitled to have needed that, perhaps with this race in mind. |
10/1 |

6th 4 (7) |
13th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Four of his six wins have been at Chester where he nearly won again when last seen 11 months ago; trip/ground fine and on a fair mark, but market confidence would be welcomed after so long out. |

26th Sep 2026 Good 2m 2f 140y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Four Flat wins, including two (1m2f-1m3f) for Ian Williams; runner-up in a Class 5 at Nottingham (1m2f, good to firm) in July; potential over hurdles in novice and maiden company back in 2024, so he could be interesting on handicap hurdle debut; first start for Olly Murphy. |
2/1 |

2nd 2 (5) |
18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Won twice in Britain for current yard since winning twice in France; however, beaten 21l at Leicester (1m2f, good) last month following five-month layoff and lacks the scope of his rivals. |
20/1 |
|
9th 11 (11) |
8th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Won a 1m3f Class 5 handicap at Southwell in October and slightly better form when collared late over 1m2f at Lingfield in January; broke out of stalls and withdrawn at Kempton 11 days later (10-1 at the time); now returns to turf after a break but he's a dual winner in this sphere and is versatile ground-wise; possibilities. |

26th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Regressive and inconsistent in recent times, finishing well held a couple of times since a surprise Epsom win off 1lb lower in July; the return to the AW won't hurt, as a four-time Tapeta winner, but others have more pressing claims. |
16/1 |
|
7th 1 (3) |
4th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
A tongue-tie was added to cheekpieces when off the mark for this yard, getting up late at Epsom (1m4f, good to firm) in July; weak in the market under a penalty when beaten 5l in amateur riders' event over C&D (good) the following week; combination of this trip and slow ground will be new to him. |

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. |

18th Sep 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Two AW wins in December and he returned to winning ways at Chester (10.3f, good) in July; not so good at Windsor five weeks ago and likely vulnerable to younger rivals. |
14/1 |
|
4th 5 (5) |
13th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Had gone badly off the boil but back in a Class 4 he came from behind to score narrowly at Chester (extended 1m2f); if he's turned a corner then likely to have some say off 3lb higher. |

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. |
