15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 34y Class 3 |
10st 1lb |
Has added to his impressive tally with two further 5f wins this season but recent defeats suggest he's gone off the boil somewhat; dropped 2lb since last run but may need some more assistance from the handicapper. |

23rd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Arrives in good heart, following a third to Badri at Windsor with a battling success on the same course (6f, good to firm) 12 days ago; up 5lb for the win but that form was boosted when runner-up Trefor went one better here on Wednesday; needs to be considered. |
16/1 |

1st 9 (4) |
11th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Generally consistent for current yard and recent form features a Chepstow success; met traffic issues on his way to third behind Badri and Inishfallen over C&D last time; solid claims. |
10/1 |
|
6 (6) |
28th Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
First win since his 2yo debut when scoring off a reduced mark at Chepstow (6f, good to firm) 26 days ago; back up 5lb but his confidence should be boosted after that success and he has been generally consistent in handicaps; shortlisted. |

6th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Chelmsford winner off 5lb higher this time last year; boasts a fair record overall at this trip on the AW and a return to form wouldn't surprise; may well be dropped in and ridden for luck from stall 9. |
10/1 |
|
8th 2 (1) |
12th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Beneath his last winning mark (5f AW) and his second run back from a break was more encouraging, as although only eighth at Kempton he wasn't beaten too far (6f) from an unpromising position; capable of racing prominently, which would be helpful from stall 1, and could be interesting; soft ground would be a concern. |
6/1 |
|
8th 6 (12) |
20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Scored off this mark at Chelmsford (5f) last July; should be sharper following a run at Newmarket last month and steps back up to 6f; not out of this. |

24th Jun 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Returned from a break with four decent runs (all over 6f) this spring and continues to edge down the weights; now 0-29 since his 2yo success but probably won't be far away; sports refitted cheekpieces. |
13/2 |

13th May 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |

Losing run up to 28 but he has run three solid races since returning to turf last month; Rossa Ryan back on board and set to go well again; blinkers left off this time. |

19th Nov 2024 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Seen more regularly on turf and it's over two years since her one AW win (6f) but she's been running well off much-reduced mark of late; shouldn't be too far away if no ill effects from leaving off the headgear. |
9/2 |

15th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Eight-time AW winner but he's 1-21 on turf; placed a couple of times this season, including over C&D (good to firm) in April, but he's not easy to predict and was out the back at Doncaster last time; has another switch of headgear and he comes with risks attached. |
9/2 |
|
8th 6 (9) |
20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
A dual 6f scorer last season; comes here on the back of a good third of eight in 6f Leicester handicap last month so needs considering. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 4 (4) |
25th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
He has a much better strike-rate on AW than turf and was well beaten over C&D last time; however, prior to that he was second of six at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm) and is not written off today. |

22nd Oct 2024 Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |

Inconsistent this year but is well handicapped on best sprinting form, including a 2yo Listed win; possibilities provided he stays this new trip. |

15th Sep 2024 Good 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
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. |

15th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
Fared best of the stands' side group when second in this race 12 months ago; races off 3lb higher this time around but he confirmed his liking for the track with a C&D win in April and he was better than ever when beating 16 rivals at York (5f, good to firm) three weeks ago; high on the list. |
10/1 |

1st 1 (2) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Returned to form when fourth in first-time visor at Ripon (5f, good) three weeks ago despite stumbling and nearly losing his rider at the start; possibilities off same mark if the headgear has the same effect. |
8/1 |
|
4th 2 (8) |
6th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Has mostly duck eggs in his form figures this term but won at Ripon (6f) in April and the return to this venue, combined with first-time visor, may have positive effect; scored over 5f last year. |
7/1 |
