1st Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
These conditions bring out the best in him and was taking his C&D record to 4-6 when finishing with a flourish to win a strong handicap last month; remains capable of further progress and although he has something to find at the weights, a bigger concern is the prospect of a tactical event. |
3/1 |
|
1st 2 (4) |
6th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Better on AW than turf and his C&D record reads 31511 (including this race 12 months ago); endured a troubled passage at Newcastle on his most recent AW run and still looked in form; no show in the Stewards' Cup but this is altogether more suitable; Oisin Murphy rides for the first time. |
4/1 |

2nd Aug 2025 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

Capable off this mark and he didn't enjoy a clear run at Newcastle five weeks ago (6f); all his best form has come on AW though and nothing in his turf record suggests he's the answer. |

20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 34y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
Has bundles of early speed and she used it to good effect at both Kempton (6f) and York (5f) in the first half of the season; ran better than the 5l defeat suggests behind Shagraan at Beverley last time but, even so, it appeared to highlight her limitations at this level. |
40/1 |
|

30th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
8st 13lb |
Has progressed with virtually every run since joining her current yard in 2023, winning five handicaps; her latest success at York in May was a personal best by some way and showed she's at least as effective at 5f as 6f; in much deeper here but she still looks unexposed and could have a say. |

Won last season's Great St Wilfrid at Ripon off a 7lb higher mark; didn't run badly at Nottingham (5f, good) on penultimate start and a wide draw offers an excuse at Chester since. |

10th 13 (12) |
8th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Won last season's Great St Wilfrid at Ripon off a 5lb higher mark; didn't run badly at Nottingham 12 days ago (5f, good) but he has a double-figure stall to contend with and could prove vulnerable. |
16/1 |
|
4th 9 (6) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
Has a better strike-rate on AW than on turf and has done all his winning over 6f/7f; inconsistent since last success; 0-12 over 5f and doesn't look the answer. |

3rd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

Handicap mark not impossible judged on his C&D win last May off 3lb lower; running okay in defeat this winter and it would be no surprise to see him in the thick of the action. |
12/1 |
|
6th 2 (4) |
7th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Good record on AW; as good as ever this year, finishing fourth (behind Cool Hoof Luke) in a Listed race at Lingfield five weeks ago and then second in a handicap back at Lingfield last week; stamina for 7f has to be taken on trust (one turf attempt saw him finish tailed off) but he hasn't got much to find on form. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 1 (4) |
27th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
He was returning from a 147-day break when readily accounting for eight rivals in the corresponding event 12 months ago; 10lb higher this time around but he has earned his lofty rating; close fourth in a Listed event here four weeks ago; contender. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
6yo mare who sprang a 22-1 surprise in Listed race at Bath (5f, good) in April, swooping fast and late; likeable type with an impressive strike-rate but she'll need another personal best under a penalty. |
10/1 |
|
1st 3 (11) |
5th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
Back to something approaching her best when winning a 14-runner handicap at Southwell last September (blinkered first time); may have needed the run back at Southwell last month (first run for 164 days); she'll do well to win but a minor placing isn't out of the question. |
25/1 |
|
6th 4 (8) |
4th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Gained her first turf success at Redcar (5f, good to firm) last June and made it 5-10 on the AW when landing a handicap in first-time blinkers over this C&D in September; off since but she holds good claims on this surface off this 4lb higher mark. |

26th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Retains plenty of ability aged nine and rallied well for neck success over C&D most recently, taking AW record to 11-69; back up the weights but won off this mark in 2022 and 2024; may remain competitive. |
13/2 |
|
1st 3 (4) |
7th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Ten-time AW winner who boasts a consistent record over C&D; high enough in the weights but his latest Kempton effort, back from a break, is best overlooked and the return here won't hurt. |
8/1 |
|
7th 1 (6) |
25th Feb 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Down in the weights before winning back to back last summer; held form quite well after, going down narrowly in sprint series final last time; Jack Gilligan steered him to success the last time he climbed aboard; sound claims back from short break. |

18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
His last win was off 15lb higher but that was on AW in April 2024 and he has mixed record in four runs this year; ran well at Kempton (6f) in March but he was remote when third at Leicester last time and needs to bounce back again after that disappointing effort. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 2 (5) |
13th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Losing turf run goes back four years and he wasn't particularly convincing on grass in the middle months of 2025; however, he is 11lb lower than the latest attempt and his recent AW run at Kempton was quite encouraging; revival on the cards with Rossa Ryan up for the first time. |
5/2 |
|
3rd 2 (8) |
18th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
His form has deteriorated and he was underwhelming over C&D four weeks ago; however, prior to that he was a close fourth over C&D after a break and this C&D winner is not ruled out off a reduced mark. |

9st 6lb |
Two 6f AW wins for previous yard last winter but it hasn't been easy since winning for this one at Newmarket in August and, after getting closer at Wolverhampton last month, things never went his way from a wide draw at Southwell; needs more weight off his back. |

9th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 1 |
9st 10lb |
In good form on the AW this year, winning a handicap at Lingfield (7f) in February and running creditably when fourth in similar event at Newcastle (6f) on Good Friday; has shown he's up to Listed level but this is still a warm race in which to be making his debut on grass. |
25/1 |

4th 3 (11) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
C&D winner; running well in handicaps this winter before a fine second in Listed company at Wolverhampton four weeks ago; the 10lb hike for that will surely leave him vulnerable. |
25/1 |
|
2nd 3 (1) |
7th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Still improving and his latest Lingfield success (7f) was just reward for a string of good placed efforts this year; has a stiff task at the weights but likely he will fare better than they suggest. |
