Has made his name on the AW, winning five times at 2m; arrives here in good nick and he's not had all that many chances on turf. |

9st 9lb |
All five wins have been over 2m on AW; couldn't pose a threat at Lingfield last month but the drop back to 1m5f looked against him and he went very close on his Wolverhampton reappearance in March; still looks feasibly treated on that form and has possibilities back at his optimum trip. |

19th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 133y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Held on to win at Kempton (2m, AW) in February and posted a solid effort when fourth at Southwell (2m, AW) 84 days ago; off since and this drop back in trip probably isn't ideal on his first outing on turf since September 2023. |

24th Feb 2026 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
2lb higher than when narrowly returning to winning form at Kempton (2m, Polytrack) 13 days ago; that was in a steadily run race, but he has a good record here (4711134) including two wins over this trip; respected. |

11th Feb 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Shaped quite nicely from off the pace in a Southwell handicap three weeks ago (1m6f); dangerous if he can build on it and he is a C&D winner on a dangerous mark. |

10st 2lb |
Was building up a head of steam over 2m, winning at Lingfield and Nottingham on fast turf this summer, but the wheels came off at Beverley seven weeks ago; he has run well in both visits to Chelmsford before; considered. |

3rd Oct 2024 Standard To Slow 2m 0f 0y Class 6 |

C&D win off 2lb higher in May; more recent efforts haven't been her best but getting back on AW may help, as could a change of headgear. |

14th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 2m 1f 24y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Both wins on AW (1m6f and 2m) but she acts on turf and is closely matched with Hawk Jet on a recent Salisbury run (1m6f); has possibilities but could probably do with the ground drying out. |

30th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 6f 44y Class 6 |

Both wins on AW, off 1lb lower; ran creditably on turf at Lingfield (2m) in June but subsequent efforts leave something to be desired; not the percentage call. |

24th Feb 2026 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Capable on her day as she showed when beaten a neck (clear of the third) at Wolverhampton (1m6f, Tapeta) on her penultimate start; not the most consistent, though, and has run poorly in both starts over C&D; apprentice-ridden for last 11 starts but Dylan Hogan on board today. |

23rd Jan 2026 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 6 |

Reasonably consistent mare who is a four-time AW scorer; clear second at Wolverhampton (1m6f) most recently; stays 2m; may remain competitive back up just 2lb. |

Made all in 1m3f classified at Yarmouth in July (good) and back to form with a close second under Grace Littmoden on the AW a month ago; ground this testing is the main concern. |

Dropped in class when making all in 1m3f classified at Yarmouth in July before a respectable fourth at Ripon under Grace Littmoden; lesser effort since and inconclusive AW form so far; shade to prove. |

31st Oct 2025 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
2-19 overall, with both his wins in 2024 over 1m2f; three thirds from his five starts (all 1m2f) this season and he would have been close up at Leicester last time but for some interference, but he did not shape that day as if this shorter trip would suit. |

Two wins last year, the first over C&D; ran well on when third over C&D on first two starts this season, but not done quite as well since; could bounce back at this track. |

One of better efforts came over this C&D just over a year ago but soundly beaten on last five starts; back in trip with tongue-tie on but easy enough to take on. |

Just missed out in a C&D handicap one year ago when rated 7lb higher; the reason for his drop in the weights is that he's been tailed off in all four starts since. |
