0-9 on AW but caught the eye over 10.5f on debut for this stable in early December, keeping on for fifth and not far behind Nakasero (7lb better off now); unsuited by 1m the last twice and could improve plenty for this longer trip; interesting. |

9st 3lb |
Three wins last year, including over C&D last November; 0-7 this season but has run some good races and was a 1l third of seven at Brighton (1m4f) three weeks ago; in with an each-way shout now back here. |

Steady progression in handicaps this year but he's had plenty of racing now and the handicapper knows where he is; no obvious reason he won't go well again for his in-form yard but is vulnerable to improvers. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Can miss the break but scored twice last year, a 20-1 win at Newmarket (good to firm) in July supplemented by a Yarmouth (also 7f, good to soft) success in September; never dangerous on AW return in February but might do better this time. |
20/1 |

6th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Three wins on turf; 0-7 on AW and often slowly away but is difficult to dismiss, having posted an encouraging effort over C&D most recently; Jack Dace takes off a handy 5lb. |

22nd Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Seen to advantage (sat off the strong pace) when producing career win number three (second at Yarmouth) 34 days ago (7f); she stays this far but it's doubtful things will pan out as favourably and a 6lb rise is tough. |

2nd Sep 2024 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Easy front-running success at Lingfield in July (7f, good to firm); spoiled his chance by hanging right at Sandown later that month and never landed a blow in a Class 4 at Doncaster last time; hood left off now back down in trip and grade. |
6/1 |
|
7th 8 (8) |
3rd Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Evidently suited by drop back to 7f when making all to win by 6l at Lingfield (good to firm) last month, her second handicap, and was not fazed by a change of tactics when keeping on from off the pace for third at Sandown (7f, good) last week; likely to make his presence felt again here. |

26th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Respectable efforts on last two starts, finishing third at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) then fourth of 14 over this C&D (good to firm); 0-11 on turf but has an each-way shout. |
7/1 |

4th 5 (11) |
25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Dual AW winner (1m) but he's 0-10 on turf; on reduced mark and was fair third at Wolverhampton (9.4f) last month but he's struggled in his last five turf runs and has something to prove back in this sphere. |
9/2 |

3rd 5 (6) |
10th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Two AW wins for Marco Botti, the second over 1m at Kempton in January 2025; has rather lost his form since, and after being sold for 26,000gns in January last year, was re-sold to current connections for just 1,000gns in November; needs to step up on recent efforts. |

24th Oct 2024 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
2-4 over 6f, keeping on well when scoring at Newcastle last month (cheekpieces first time); only fifth at Kempton two weeks ago (7f) when he made a big move in the sixth furlong but couldn't quite sustain his effort close home; change of headgear today; not fully exposed as a sprinter. |

1st 5 (2) |
10th Sep 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
A drop to sprinting paid dividends when he won a 6f maiden at Doncaster in June; two subsequent runs in 6f handicaps have been fine but he will need the new cheekpieces to prompt extra if he's to win. |

8th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 209y Class 4 |

Best form on AW but has won on turf and it was his best effort on grass when third of six at Newbury (2m, good; plugged on) three weeks ago; each-way shout. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 8 (8) |
17th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 3 |
8st 5lb |
Has done best on AW, including three wins at Wolverhampton (1m6f/2m) in the last six months; well held at Lingfield two weeks ago but has a modest record there; has won twice on turf, latterly on good ground at Bath (1m6f) last June but none of his turf form matches today's mark. |
25/1 |
|
8th 4 (12) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Something of a Wolverhampton specialist (3-5) though he has won on Polytrack at Kempton; the drop to 1m4f didn't help last time so the return to a longer distance should help, but his high draw may not be ideal even over this trip. |

Fourth to Tilsworth Max in a similar event over C&D 19 days ago, form already boosted by the second and third; could face competition for the lead here and others appeal more for win purposes. |

8th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Took him a long time to get off the mark, but has utilised forcing tactics to good effect over C&D this year (1241); 5lb higher than for his latest success, though, and he doesn't have a great draw. |
4/1 |
|
1st 4 (5) |
21st Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Came good at the 26th attempt over C&D in February when making all; has ran well twice since over C&D when in the money and a danger to all if he can grab an early lead in returning cheekpieces. |
9/4 |
|
4th 6 (9) |
23rd Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Disappointing at Southwell (6f) last time but he went close over C&D on his penultimate run and that was after an emphatic front-running success at this track; drawn out wide on this step back up in trip but has possibilities if he can bounce back. |
5/1 |
