10st 11lb |
Improved for the fitting of blinkers last summer, winning at Newbury and Goodwood, though she ended the season with two quiet runs; acts on any ground, but has a modest record fresh so the 233-day absence is a concern. |

Has won on good but his best form has come on a slow surface; ended 2024 in fine form but he returns from seven months off with neither headgear nor his usual tongue-tie; perhaps one for another day. |

Made all at Lingfield (7f, good) ten days ago, leaving her reappearance effort well behind; now on career-high mark but is a C&D scorer and can't be ruled out. |

No win since June 2022; well treated on last winter's best, however, and he shaped quite well back from a break at Wolverhampton (7f) 16 days ago, keeping on when denied a clear run inside the final 1f; player if he can build on that. |

15th May 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Yet to win for current stable but last season's best gives her a good chance off her reduced mark; yard out of a quiet spell now and she can leave her Kempton reappearance well behind her with a promising apprentice booked. |

9th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 210y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Better known as a sprinter but he cashed in on a reduced mark over this trip at Newmarket (good) last month; remains well treated on old form but he's not easy to predict and needs to bounce back after a disappointing run at Chepstow last time. |
10/1 |

21st May 2025 Good 0m 7f 16y Class 5 |

Better known as a sprinter but 7f now looks the future after snapping a long losing run last week at Newmarket (good; returned to sporting a hood in isolation); has no penalty for that so should be involved. |

9st 9lb |
Yet to win in 2024 but he's run some sound races in defeat; rarely seen on AW these days but his last run here saw him record an RPR of 71 over 6f (March 2023); not ruled out. |

3rd Sep 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 16y Class 6 |

Multiple winner down the years and served notice that he was ready to add to his tally when a close fourth over C&D (good to soft) eight days ago; closely matched with My Delilah and Some Nightmare on that run; rain no hindrance; contender. |
3/1 |

26th Aug 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 16y Class 6 |

Back-to-back wins in 2023 (extended 5f, good to soft; 6f, soft), the latter off 2lb higher; slow to get in the swing this year but he put up a better show when third of five at Yarmouth (5f, good to firm) last time, when persevering well; this slower ground should suit; weights chance. |

9st 1lb |
An 8yo mare who is 5lb above her last winning mark and couldn't cope with the comfortable winner last time at Chepstow (7f), where she has a solid record; Jack Callan claiming his 7lb can only enhance her prospects. |

2nd 6 (5) |
7th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 16y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Three wins, a second and a third to her name in seven runs over C&D, and the return here/drop from 1m will work in her favour; fine on any ground but might need a bit of help from the handicapper now (5lb higher than when last successful). |
10/1 |
|
6th 7 (5) |
24th May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Dual course winner over 6f though has won several times over 7f elsewhere; hasn't had many goes over this far, but ran well when third of ten on this month's Kempton reappearance (1m, AW; 50-1); could make an impact if building on that. |
