3rd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 3lb |
All of his Flat success for this yard has been on AW, albeit with good-ground hurdle wins too and he was runner-up at Goodwood (1m6f, good to firm) last August; has a run under his belt this term but to win this would require a new best performance on turf. |
7/1 |

6th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Was a more convincing Wolverhampton winner (2m) in October than the narrow margin suggests, making it 4-5 on sand for this yard, including at 1m3f and 1m4f on this track; well held over hurdles in November but had wind operation since; by no means out of it. |
13/2 |

1st 3 (3) |
25th Oct 2025 Standard 2m 0f 120y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Mainly seen over hurdles these days but he finished second of ten at Goodwood (1m6f, good to firm) in October and had a good AW record last year (1112) including a win here (1m4f); attempts this far for the first time on the Flat and is off a career-high mark, but good chance if he stays. |

28th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 6y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Not disgraced in last year's Northern Dancer over C&D (good; likely softer) on sole start here; also won twice at Ascot (good to firm) last term; back to form on last two starts, latterly when beaten 2l at Musselburgh (also 1m4f, good) on Sunday; should make his presence felt. |
9/2 |

26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 4f 104y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Won off just 1lb lower at Ascot (1m4f, good to firm) last August, his second win there last year; 0-12 on AW but close third on latest start (first with tongue tied) was up with his best form; should go well. |

Chased home an improver at Wolverhampton (1m4f, Tapeta) 11 days ago and races off the same mark, but a record of 1-32 makes him hard to warm to. |

Placed a few times at up to 1m6f this term but form dipped the last twice; has a poor strike-rate (1-31) and is likely set for minor honours even if back on song. |

23rd Sep 2024 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |

Handicapped to win but he's rather been going through the motions this summer; has form at this track but over further and he may be ideally suited by more of a test. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 166y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Dual AW winner on the Flat who was 61l adrift when beating one home on his handicap hurdle debut at Kempton (2m) last month; just a fair effort on the Flat a fortnight ago; upped markedly in trip for his second go in this sphere. |
8/1 |

8th 10 (7) |
8th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Mainly seen over hurdles lately and is just 2-33 under rules, but one of his wins came over C&D and his last few efforts on the AW off similar marks would give him an each-way chance here. |
13/2 |
|
5th 2 |
23rd Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Goes handicapping for the first time in this sphere but probably doesn't have anything in hand, with opening hurdles mark roughly in keeping with his Flat ability; that doesn't necessarily mean he can't run well. |

8st 12lb |
9.4f win off 3lb lower here in March 2023 on final start for Andrew Balding; close fifth of nine at Chelmsford (1m2f) this May on first run since, which was followed by a lesser show behind Goblet Of Fire at Kempton (1m3f) 19 days ago; cheekpieces are now given a go. |

9.5f win at Wolverhampton on final start for Andrew Balding in March 2023; he was having his first run since when a close fifth of nine at Chelmsford three weeks ago (1m2f), keeping on well; Oisin Murphy takes over today; not fully exposed. |

4th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
All seven wins have been on AW (four over C&D) but last win was in 2023; ran his best race for some time when fourth of 12 at Kempton (1m3f, AW) in June; impossible to rule out but needs more. |
10/1 |

11th Jun 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Often front-runs; three-time course winner (1m4f/2m) but he's without a win in two years; struggled in two starts on AW in December and he was beaten 59l at Windsor (good to firm) nine days ago; needs the switch of headgear to spark a revival. |

Yet to win in 19 starts under either code but he ran well when third here (1m4f) in February off a 3lb higher mark; less good since and others have more pressing claims. |

1m4f AW winner in September 2021; regressed for Robyn Brisland in 2022 and then missed the following season; low-key return from 529 days off last month (stable debut) and hard to recommend. |
