22nd May 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Regained the winning thread at Ripon (5f, good) on stable/seasonal debut when 5lb lower and rider took off 7lb; this seems a harder task but he remains well treated on peak form and is a dual winner at Goodwood; enters calculations. |
9/2 |

1st 5 (1) |
25th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Ten-time winner down the years for James Evans; drew a blank in 2025 but runner-up twice off marks in the 90s, including reappearance, so well treated starting out for Tony Carroll (same owners); interesting to see what the betting makes of him. |
14/1 |

20th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Won over C&D (good to firm) last August and twice went close over C&D earlier this year (good); versatile ground-wise; he's gone off the boil more recently but perhaps the first-time blinkers (replacing cheekpieces) and the return to this track will prompt a revival; on a reduced mark. |

18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 21y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Front-runner who looks well handicapped on his win at Haydock (5f, good) last autumn but he's been disappointing at Musselburgh and Goodwood this spring; has some questions to answer and he needs a major revival with headgear removed; stablemate of Rhythm N Hooves. |
12/1 |

9th 1 (1) |
1st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |

Useful front-runner who returned with a good third in 5f AW listed event at Lingfield in February; not at his best on soft ground at Musselburgh since but can bounce back here. |
8/1 |

13th 1 (6) |
4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 1y Class 2 |

Tough 5f specialist who usually makes the running; a respectable third at Lingfield six weeks ago should have blown away the cobwebs; concedes weight all round but he's a classy type and should go well. |

26th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Well handicapped on last year's C&D form for Karl Burke but refused to race in April on final outing for that yard and down the field over C&D on recent stable debut, when again awkward at the start; risks attached. |
33/1 |
|
14th 6 (6) |
11th Jul 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Beaten 16 times since his C&D win in September 2023; has often run well in defeat, including here, but he put a major black mark on his record at Nottingham in April, belatedly leaving the stalls but downing tools and bucking around immediately afterwards; the combination of a subsequent stable switch/wind surgery/change of headgear could all be beneficial and there's no doubt he has the ability to win a race like this; risky but feared. |

16th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |

Has been much better than this level in his time but winless for 18 months; in the money over C&D on each of his last three starts and likely to make another bold bid; cheekpieces now added. |
4/1 |

7th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 60y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
Without a win since scoring at Windsor (5f, good to soft; from 20lb higher) over 18 months ago; has been knocking at the door over this C&D in recent weeks, including when beaten a neck (Call Time third) on penultimate start; foolish to discount. |

19th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

13th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 143y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Eight-time winner and also first past the post in this race in 2022 (demoted to second after causing interference); well treated if retaining all his ability but he was tailed off in the Shergar Cup on his reappearance after a long absence, having hit his head on the stalls; risky. |
40/1 |
|
10th 4 (5) |
9th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Eight-time winner, not seen since finishing tenth in the Wokingham here in June 2024 (subsequently gelded); has run some good races at Ascot, including when fourth in this event two years ago, and he's well treated if retaining all his ability, but looks a risky proposition after such a long absence. |
20/1 |
|
10th 18 (21) |
22nd Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
His most recent wins were 6f on AW but he tends to flag over this trip on turf and his stride shortened in this race 12 months ago; on a more favourable mark now but others should find greater reserves in the later stages. |

6th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 1y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Campaigned almost exclusively over sprint trips; consistent AW form this year includes two wins; effective on turf but hasn't scored in this sphere for three years and he's not the percentage call back at 7f. |
25/1 |
|
3rd 5 (5) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Ended a long losing run at Newcastle (6f, Tapeta) in January and he also won at Wolverhampton (6f, Tapeta) in February; he's continued in good form on Tapeta on his last two starts and is also effective over this C&D; might have a part to play. |
8/1 |

3rd 7 (5) |
7th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 3 |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |

Runner-up in this race in 2024, and he warmed up nicely for another bid with a good fourth in a big field over C&D at the Dante meeting; should be in the thick of things once more. |
12/1 |
|
4th 20 (15) |
14th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 4lb |
Two wins last autumn and he's better than he's shown at Pontefract and Ascot of late; however, this is tougher and he needs to raise his game. |
33/1 |
|
10th 6 (5) |
1st May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Not handicapped out of things and his latest run at Pontefract, his first start for 12 weeks, was creditable; twice a course winner and likely to make a bold bid. |

18th Nov 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Has only managed to win two of his last 31 starts, though he got it right when recording his second C&D success last month (four of these behind); had excuses back here last time (blindfold removed late) and he's a big player if things pan out right this time. |
4/1 |

27th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

9st 5lb |
Progressive 3yo but his form headed south last year; back to winning ways when making all at Bath (5f, firm) four weeks ago; his head carriage has always been a bit ungainly but he's tough to pass when on song; major player despite the 4lb rise. |

23rd Sep 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 4 |

30th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 4lb |
Has a stunning record at this meeting, winning four of his five attempts, including this race for the last three years (soft, good and good to soft); well held of late but he ran no worse last time out than he had in his prep race before the 2023 win and he's weighted to have a big chance despite being 3lb wrong; Hollie Doyle rode for his 2021 win; drying ground could be the sticking point, however. |

Unplaced in this race in 2021 and 2023 and short of his best when last seen on AW in February; his last three wins have come in the same 5f handicap at Glorious Goodwood and that race looks a better fit than today's. |

Favourite for this race last year but his was one of the stalls to open late and his chance was compromised as a result; solid effort at Doncaster two weeks ago and rider's claim will help offset being 3lb out of the weights; effective on most ground and likely to go well. |

21st Mar 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
High-class sprinter on turf and AW; his two C&D wins have both been mighty performances and there is no doubt he has the raw ability to give the weight away to today's opponents; sadly he has become a nightmare at the start, refusing to race in three of his last five runs; can't be supported with confidence; stable run four here. |

28th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
High-class sprinter on his day and he has tasted defeat in just one of his four runs on AW; fine effort to beat Marshman in a Listed race here in February and third in a Newmarket Group 3 next time; no doubt he has the ability to win a race of this nature but he is increasingly troublesome at the start and he has refused to race twice this summer; capable but too much risk attached to recommend. |
