22nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Win (off 2lb lower last August) and two seconds to his name from four runs over C&D; pulled hard and didn't see it out over 1m here last time, and this hold-up performer should fare better as long as it doesn't become tactical. |

9th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 216y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won here (7f, good to firm) last August and made an encouraging reappearance when fifth of 14 at Kempton (7f, AW) last month; does stay this far but could do with the ground drying out. |

6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Four-time Tapeta winner who resumes from eight months off on a career-high mark; gone well fresh before but is used to plying his trade in lesser company and may need some help from the handicapper. |

11th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Good third over a mile here last month but he failed to back it up over that same distance 11 days ago; perhaps vulnerable once again. |
16/1 |
|
10th 11 (7) |
28th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Record of 1-27 on AW but he gave it a good shot when third behind Aisling Oscar over C&D three weeks ago; on same mark here and he could be in the mix again. |
12/1 |

3rd 3 (1) |
5th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
4-13 on turf but just 1-26 on AW; returned from five-month break with low-key 7f run here on Friday and remains on the same fairly tough mark. |

7th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Well short of his best on turf on his last two starts but perhaps better judged on this winter's AW efforts, which included a 6f win at Newcastle as well as several placed runs; not discounted at this level. |
7/1 |
|
12th 15 (12) |
1st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
6f AW win in November (visored first time) and placed on a few occasions subsequently; neither start since returning from a four-month break has been near that level though. |
33/1 |

15th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 110y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Does most of his racing on the AW; four places from six runs this year; effective at 5f/6f but bit to prove on his turf form. |

8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Five-time AW winner but still looking for a first turf win; well beaten in a C&D handicap six weeks ago; on a winning mark but not exactly solid. |
6/1 |
|
5th 9 (3) |
28th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Gained his fifth AW success when winning at Wolverhampton (8.6f) in December; mixed results in four subsequent runs but he rallied for fourth at Southwell (7f, AW) in March; now returns to turf but he has placed form in this sphere and is not ruled out back up in trip. |

8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Three times a course winner, including over 1m last July; ran into an improver here four weeks ago and she looks set to give another good account. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 4 (6) |
10th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Three-time course winner, including last June/July; could go well returned to this venue with Lingfield reappearance under her belt. |
16/1 |
