10st 0lb |
Six AW wins on his record, three of them at this track; solid third at Lingfield on Good Friday, on second run for this stable, and he's undergone wind surgery since; promising apprentice takes off 5lb and he's one to consider. |

Ran creditably on his stable debut at Southwell 12 days ago and returning to 6f won't be a problem; not sure he's ahead of his mark though. |

24th Oct 2024 Heavy 0m 5f 8y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
4-29 on turf and although he hasn't won on genuine soft ground he again showed he acts on it when second at Bath (5.7f) latest; each-way player. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 4 (5) |
21st Oct 2024 Heavy 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Has patchy record but he won on fast ground at Windsor (5f) in July and was beaten less than 2l on soft at Redcar (fourth of 11) last time; seems tactically versatile and he's not ruled out on this drop back on grade. |
13/2 |

5th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Dropped away in the final furlong in the race won Our Absent Friends at Ripon last week; Paul Mulrennan is a good booking (close fourth on him at Newmarket 11 months ago) but others appeal more. |

13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
5f winner here; she was involved in tight finishes at Bath (extended 5f; good to soft and heavy) last October and over 5f here in May but more often than not she tends to run out of steam over this trip. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 3 (2) |
27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 4f 217y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Arrives in good form, going close at Windsor before anticipating the start last time; losing run is 18, however, and never won off a mark this high. |
8/1 |
|
5th 7 (7) |
12th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
On a losing run but closely matched with Lequinto on their tight encounter at Windsor last time (5f, good) when she might have won but for hanging left late on; she doesn't always do that and has to be feared. |

11th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Stable yet to get rolling for the year but he was a bright spot when springing a surprise over C&D off 3lb lower in February; not entirely convinced over 7f a couple of times since and holds each-way claims. |
10/1 |
|
4th 7 (6) |
11th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
6f winner here on his penultimate start and he didn't fail through a lack of stamina when third at Chelmsford 13 days ago; he was well positioned in a race where nothing challenged from the rear there though and others appeal more for win purposes. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 6 (3) |
26th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Strong at the finish when winning a 6f handicap at Southwell two weeks ago; the subsequent 4lb rise looks less of a concern than the additional furlong. |

Placed in all three runs this year, racing wide when third of nine at Beverley (5f, good) ten days ago; trainer, who also saddles Tiriac, has won the last two runnings of this race. |

3rd 3 (7) |
16th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Came good twice last summer and he's knocking at the door again, doing his best work late on when second at Carlisle (5f, good) four weeks ago; one of the likelier candidates. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 6 (7) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Placed in AW contest on reappearance and has a fighting chance provided he builds on that effort; still well treated on his two wins (handicap/claimer) last summer. |

28th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Took advantage of a good opportunity over C&D last month but came up short off higher marks twice since; conditions will be fine but others are more appealing. |

6 (11) |
14th Sep 2025 Heavy 0m 5f 160y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Beat a next-time-out winner when scoring at Ffos Las last month and probably didn't have an ideal track position when fourth at Sandown (also 5f, soft) on Friday; respected if she makes a quick reappearance here. |
5/1 |
|
12 (9) |
12th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Won the corresponding race 12 months ago off a 4lb higher mark; first success since when beating four rivals at Ffos Las two weeks ago (5f, soft); this is deeper but a 2lb rise is manageable; more appealing than most. |

23rd Oct 2025 Soft 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |

Free-going sort; easily saw off five rivals on testing ground at Lingfield in June but he has been well held in three runs since; hopes rest on the return to slower ground giving him a lift. |

1st Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

28th Jul 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |

Well backed when winning a 6f handicap at Lingfield (soft) last month; not sure that was the greatest race, however, and he's since finished unplaced at Hamilton, albeit over 5f. |

C&D winner; should be well treated now but that has been the case for a while and he keeps finding one or two too strong; conditions no problem and likely to give his running again; stable also run Savannah Smiles. |

3rd 4 (4) |
17th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Losing run up to 13, but running well in defeat lately and fared best of those on his side when fourth of nine at Chepstow (5f, soft) 11 days ago; record over C&D reads 314; player. |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 16y Class 6 |

Still short of his best form but last month's midfield finish at Southwell was a step back in the right direction; 2lb lower today and no surprise to see him in the shake up. |

27th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |

29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Won comfortably after travelling strongly at Leicester (6f, good to firm) last month but he's not hit the same level in two subsequent runs; ran respectably back at Leicester last time but he needs to find more to get back on the scoresheet. |
7/1 |

3rd 2 (7) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Won comfortably after travelling strongly over this C&D (good to firm) last month but his jockey reported he never travelled when fourth of nine under a penalty at Salisbury (6f, good) 30 days ago; now 2lb higher but he can't be dismissed. |

Infrequent winner these days but always prominent when holding on at Chepstow (6f, good) four days ago; this looks tougher under a 4lb penalty (Alexandra Egan rides again). |

Just one win in the last five years but it came over C&D; back to form when second to Too Much Trevor over C&D nine days ago, doing comfortably best of the stands' side group, and 2lb better off today; good chance of turning the tables. |

8yo who is without a win since October 2023 and has finished soundly beaten in Class 5 handicaps on her last two starts; however, before those she went close in one at Chepstow in May and if rediscovering that form she'll be very tough to beat now dropped into a classified. |

19th Jul 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

On the downgrade in recent times and no surprise to see her fail to build on her Chepstow second when well held at Hamilton last time; the blinkers come off again tonight. |
20/1 |
Verdict
Punchbowl Flyer has to be respected back here on ground he relishes but FOUR ADAAY is still preferred after her emphatic Sandown win. Mumayaz was unlucky not to finish a lot closer on the drop to 5f at Bath recently and although he’s generally kept away from soft ground he has handled the surface in the past. Dashing Harry and Thankuappreciate also enter the reckoning.[Emily Weber]
