2nd Oct 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Stuck on a losing run but has never been lower in the ratings and latest fourth of ten at Sandown was in a higher grade; one to consider. |
7/1 |
|
4th 12 (7) |
16th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
8st 7lb |
Six-time winner but his losing runs stretches back to October 2024 and a career-low mark saw him only finish fifth of 11 at Windsor (5f) last Monday; however, his sole appearance here, when a runner-up in 2023, was has second-best effort on RPRs and he'll probably pop up again at some point; 1lb out of the handicap. |

5th 5 (2) |

9st 6lb |
Losing run up to 18, but he has dropped to an attractive mark and has won twice and been placed five times from 12 starts over C&D; one to be interested in. |

18th May 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Won off this mark at Yarmouth (5f, good to soft) last October but hasn't got going in four runs this year, beating only one rival; needs to show more. |
16/1 |

4th May 2026 Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
C&D winner; had a good time of things in 2025, winning four times; she has finished last in her three AW runs this year and has only dropped 3lb; may need some more help from the handicapper. |
20/1 |

7th 4 (1) |
21st Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won at her beloved Yarmouth (5f, good to soft; from 4lb lower) last October; hasn't been at her best since returning to AW recently; this is a fraction easier and she could strip fitter but others are more appealing. |

1st Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 60y Class 5 |
8st 7lb |
Three-time course winner but last season ended on a low note and he was tailed off here on last month's return, albeit on ground faster than ideal. |
12/1 |
|
6th 1 (4) |
5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Three-time C&D winner, most recently last May; absent since two disappointing runs here last August, though, and would appeal more on good or slower ground. |
13/2 |
|
5 (2) |
1st Sep 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 60y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Two wins this season, the latter from the front over C&D (good to soft) in May; also suited by good to firm ground and last month's down-the-field finish here can be excused (stumbled leaving stalls) but others in this line-up look better handicapped; finished last of 13 in first-time visor here yesterday. |

27th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Prolific 5f winner, including over C&D, most recently at Chelmsford in October off 2lb lower; however, he was disappointing back at Chelmsford in February and has a bit to prove this time. |
5/1 |
|
8th 5 (3) |
21st Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Recorded his 11th AW win when narrowly beating Shalaa Asker over C&D in October; been absent since then but he's only 2lb higher than for that last win and he has won after a break in the past; dangerous on return. |

11th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
His C&D win last October came off a 16lb higher mark so his ability for a race of this nature isn't in doubt; he hasn't been firing in recent starts though, including when well supported. |
6/1 |
|
9 (6) |
18th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Two 6f wins in 2024, both off a mark 14lb higher than today's; the odd promising sign this year and Hector Crouch replaces a 7lb claimer tonight. |
14/1 |
|
4th 1 (4) |
6th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
5yo who has a regressive profile but has dropped down the weights and took a step back in the right direction when sixth of 14 at Windsor (6f, good to firm) in June last time; might not be far away. |

5th Oct 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Front-runner who's done most winning over 5f and is generally kept to that trip; soft ground likely behind a below-par effort last time and should do better back on the AW but there's little wiggle room off this mark. |
16/1 |
|
6th 1 (8) |
11th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Front-runner who returned to winning form under Chloe Lyons at Newmarket (5f, good to firm; has won on soft) last month, but has twice been held off this mark since; needs a bit more; stable also runs Adalida. |
10/1 |
|
4th 3 (2) |
24th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 60y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
In-form front-runner who has two wins, a second and two thirds to his name in five runs here; on career-high mark, though, having been put up 5lb for his Newmarket win early in the month under 7lb claimer Chloe Lyons. |

26th Oct 2024 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Fluffed the start when last of seven behind Cabeza De LLave last week; overall profile unconvincing. |

17th Oct 2024 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Disappointing in sole run this term but is open to improvement now handicapping over new trip (looks worth a go at 5f); interesting. |
