13th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 42y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Three-time winner on good to firm last year, including over C&D in August off a mark 1lb higher than today's; 0-4 in Bahrain this winter but now returns to Britain on a handy mark having been off for 83 days; could have this run to suit and holds claims. |

21st Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 4f 214y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Has gone 3-4 in cheekpieces and was drawn out of contention in the defeat at Goodwood; however, the handicapper is creeping closer and this race demands his best form yet. |

24th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 42y Class 3 |
10st 0lb |
Has won two of his last three and was drawn out of contention when beaten at Goodwood; always in a good place before doing it comfortably at Windsor (5f, good to firm); 7lb rise asks a question but he's on top of his game. |

Second at Newmarket in July (5f, good) but he failed to back it up at Newbury last time (stumbled leaving the stalls); has more to prove at 6f and a change of headgear isn't enough to tempt. |

16th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
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. |

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. |

27th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
11-time turf winner who won by 4l at Lingfied in July but he's been a long way below that form in three subsequent runs; this return to 6f is no problem but he needs a major revival on belated Tapeta debut; blinkers reapplied. |

9st 4lb |
Came good for Julie Camacho with narrow turf win in first-time cheekpieces this summer and did well to finish fourth on last month's AW debut at Lingfield (first-time visor), having started slowly; remains unexposed on artificial surfaces; one to consider. |

18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 21y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
7yo who recorded his 13th win when making all off a reduced mark at Bath (5f, good) two weeks ago; 3lb higher on this step back up in grade but he remains well treated on his best form and is 2-2 over C&D, including a success off current mark in this race 12 months ago; key player. |

Prominent racer; did best of the group to race on the stands' side when third in a 5f handicap at Newmarket three weeks ago; well handicapped on last summer's best and he has a good record at Bath; shortlisted. |

3rd 5 (7) |
14th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Multiple wins include this race (good) in 2025, on sole C&D start, then won two of his next three starts; his form died down after that which leaves him well treated again, 5lb lower than his latest win; good claims but he did seem better for his reappearance when coming up trumps last April. |

Debut winner on the AW; beaten 4l and 3l in her two handicaps (5f, good) and slow starts didn't help; more to prove than some. |

31st Aug 2024 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Below par the last twice and from stall two she could do with breaking better than on last month's handicap debut at Newmarket; however, she showed speed and promise in the spring on her first two starts (5f, AW/good to soft) and judged on that evidence she could be on a handy mark. |

Third, beaten 1.25l by Over Spiced, in a C&D handicap three weeks ago; that represented his best turf result but this race will demand an even bigger effort. |
9/1 |

3rd 6 (3) |
4th May 2026 Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
8st 7lb |
Big chance on his AW form but he has finished out of the placings in all nine turf runs; BHA mark is 15lb lower on turf but he's likely to remain vulnerable. |
14/1 |
|
6th 3 (3) |
21st Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won from a similar mark at Lingfield (5f; 8-1) in November; form levels have dipped since finishing third back there in January, failing to beat a single rival the last twice; is 2-4 over C&D, so it's possible that added cheekpieces can rekindle a spark. |
