23rd Oct 2025 Soft 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Down the field in two AW runs back from a break, the latest at Chelmsford last week; due to be 2lb lower from the weekend but he has a good record on soft ground and a revival wouldn't be a complete bolt from the blue. |
16/1 |

16th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Easy win over C&D in December off 3lb lower; should be sharper with his recent return to action behind him but others preferred at this level. |

3rd Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
In good order last winter, winning easily at Chelmsford last December and finishing second over C&D (off 2lb higher) in January; drawn wide on his return from 226 days off and likely there will be other days. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Front-runner who is much better known as a sprinter, but won over C&D in 2022 and looked suited by return to this trip when close third here (good to soft; just behind Too Much Trevor) last week; back in action before 1lb nudge takes effect and will be fine on the faster ground; respected. |
7/2 |

3rd 8 (2) |
21st May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 16y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Front-runner who has gained seven of her ten career wins at Chepstow; went backwards from a sound reappearance effort at Bath (extended 5f) when last of six over a bare 5f there 12 days later but a revival can't be ruled out back at Chepstow; raced exclusively at sprint trips since 2023 but won over C&D in 2022. |

6th 5 (4) |
29th Apr 2026 Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Front-runner whose ten wins on turf have included two over this C&D; possibly needed her first run for 179 days when fifth of 11 here over 5.5f last time and has to be of interest now dropping back in grade. |

24th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 210y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
3-13 here, taking advantage of a favourable mark when successful at this track (1m, good to firm; first-time cheekpieces) this month; only 2lb higher and still well treated on last summer's form; player. |
7/2 |
|
1st 4 (3) |
2nd Jun 2025 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Four wins last summer, latterly off a 7lb higher mark, and has come back to form round here lately; often blows the start and can pull hard, while it's late in the day to be trying headgear for the first time, but he remains quite capable if things fall right. |

8st 13lb |
Course winner over 5f on heavy ground in September and she has also won on good to firm; ended last season out of sorts and she was well held on her return at Leicester (6f, good) 16 days ago; hood is removed and tongue-tie is applied; bit to prove. |

Turf wins have come on stiff tracks, at 6f and 5f; had another good season in 2025 but it ended quietly in the autumn and she now has a hood refitted for the first time in over two years; has a bit to prove. |

16th Oct 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Yet to win in 2024 but he's run some sound races in defeat; rarely seen on AW these days but his last run here saw him record an RPR of 71 over 6f (March 2023); not ruled out. |
10/1 |

5th 1 (5) |
3rd Sep 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 16y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Multiple winner down the years and served notice that he was ready to add to his tally when a close fourth over C&D (good to soft) eight days ago; closely matched with My Delilah and Some Nightmare on that run; rain no hindrance; contender. |
3/1 |

26th Aug 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 16y Class 6 |

Back-to-back wins in 2023 (extended 5f, good to soft; 6f, soft), the latter off 2lb higher; slow to get in the swing this year but he put up a better show when third of five at Yarmouth (5f, good to firm) last time, when persevering well; this slower ground should suit; weights chance. |

9th Sep 2024 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 4 |

High in the weights after three wins this year but not disgraced the last twice and claiming 3lb through William Carver can aid his cause; won't be far away. |
15/2 |

5th 3 (10) |
31st Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 4 |

Three wins this year, the latest at Newmarket this month (1m, good); solid effort in a Racing League handicap 16 days ago; not handicapped out of it on last year's best but a lower draw would have been preferable for one that likes to race prominently. |
