1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
1lb lower than for his last win; two runs back from wind surgery haven't been his best and he is taking on some potential improvers today. |
14/1 |

9th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Close third in this in 2024 and he enhanced a good C&D record when winning last year's edition (good to firm) from this mark; placed on his next four starts and had a soft-ground excuse on final start that term; had wind surgery ahead of a quiet comeback at Newbury three weeks ago but no surprise if this day has been ringed in his calendar. |
7/1 |

10th 12 (3) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Suited by good/firmer and has won four 1m2f handicaps, the latest last May; he seemed in need of the run when 28-1 in this race the time before, so that's a concern on today's first run since his second wind surgery. |

4th Sep 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Fairly useful 1m2f handicapper; won at Yarmouth in July and mostly consistent otherwise this term; remains on career-high mark, however, and this longer distance is an unknown. |

10st 4lb |
Doubled his winning tally when easily disposing of three rivals from the front under Joe Bradnam in an apprentice event at Yarmouth (1m2f, good) seven days ago; still 4lb well in despite a 2lb rise, but ground softer than good would pose a question. |

1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Bids for a hat-trick after two wins at Bath (1m2f, firm), beating Galaxy Wonder by half a length on the latest occasion; up another 2lb, but still a big player in his current mood. |
5/1 |

1st 5 (1) |
12th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 37y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Most wins on the AW but it was his third success on the grass when coming home 2.5l to the good over C&D two weeks ago; defying the 5lb rise shouldn't be beyond him. |
9/2 |
|
1st 5 (2) |
27th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Has a better strike-rate on AW than on turf but he's in form, creditable third at Lingfield on Good Friday last time; gained last win off 5lb higher (in July 2024); shortlisted. |

20th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
His two wins last August/September (including here) came over 1m2f but he travelled well when fourth over 1m1f here (good to firm) on his recent return to action, when short of room close home, and he may have versatility in terms of trip; interesting contender. |
11/2 |

4th 6 (1) |
5th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 20y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Winner over 1m2f at Ayr (good; cheekpieces on) and Newcastle (tongue-tie and cheekpieces) last term; some fair AW runs after that but off since January and perhaps best watched this time (no cheekpieces). |
12/1 |
|

1st Nov 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Won at Ayr in August and he responded well to a tongue-tie when scoring over C&D the following month; still looks feasibly treated but he flopped here (last of nine) and needs to bounce back after that laboured effort. |

18th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Unraced on softer than good; won four of her seven handicaps, the latest win in good style under Millie Wonnacott at Newbury in July; easily her worst display in those races, however, came off this 8lb higher mark at Windsor (again 1m2f on good to firm) on her only start since, when reportedly fractious in the preliminaries; needs to bounce back with another improved show. |

slightly awkward start, took keen hold, in touch with leaders |
7/4 |

1st 5 (1) |
25th Jul 2024 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Gained a third handicap win when scoring easily over 1m2f at Chepstow (good) last Thursday; carries a 6lb penalty but Millie Wonnacott takes 5lb off; leading claims. |
6/4 |
