8th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Acts on good to firm and soft ground; won at Thirsk (6f, good) last spring and recorded his second AW win on his Southwell reappearance last month; up 4lb but he still looks feasibly treated and should get a good tow into this race; key player. |

1st 3 (2) |
2nd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Ended 2025 with a whimper but he has slipped back down the weights as a consequence; won on last year's reappearance and also ran a fine race after a 175-day layoff in 2024 so unlikely to be lacking in fitness; one to consider. |

19th Sep 2025 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

Got no run when favourite at Thirsk a fortnight ago and a line can be put through that race; effective in a big field and has an each-way shout on this year's best form (on various ground); wears first-time cheekpieces. |

9st 8lb |
C&D win last May and followed up at Lingfield (6f; both good to firm) one week later; now 14lb lower so he has handicapping claims, for all his recent efforts need bettering; stable also runs Cabeza De Llave. |

On the downgrade now but placed over C&D on two of his last three appearances; no match for Desdemona when second on latter occasion but now 11lb better off; can make his presence felt. |

24th Oct 2024 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
All four wins on the AW (rated 4lb higher than on turf) including one over C&D; went close at Redcar (5f, good to firm) on his penultimate start, but is without a success since August 2022; others make greater appeal. |
10/1 |

30th Sep 2024 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Did well to go close at Redcar (5f) two weeks ago considering he probably didn't have the ideal track position; now 0-9 for current yard and 7lb higher back on AW but still looks well treated on historical data. |
7/1 |

2nd 7 (9) |
17th Sep 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Four AW wins for previous yard; 0-8 for current stable and has the same record on turf but he ran encouragingly on his most recent start in this sphere; attractively weighted. |

1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 34y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Ran twice over C&D last summer and performed with great credit on both occasions, finishing second to Faustus in July and filling the same position one month later; career-best effort when winning at Bath last week (5f, firm); penalty demands more but he can't be discounted. |
7/2 |

1st 2 (5) |
26th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Four-time AW winner who broke his turf duck at Chester last July off a 2lb lower mark (5f, good); two respectable efforts here this spring and Finley Marsh replaces an apprentice today; a big run is on the cards. |
13/2 |

6th 3 (5) |

5f win at Chester (good) last summer came off a 4lb lower mark; encouraging return to action here (5.7f, good) 17 days ago and should go well if building on that first run for 199 days. |

24th Oct 2024 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Both wins came over 5f on the AW early last year; does stay this far, but 0-12 in handicaps and slow breaks continue to hold her back; has the ability to win a race off this mark when things fall right, but risky. |

8th Oct 2024 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |

Yet to win a handicap; she's edging down the weights and has run some good races this year but she's vulnerable to progressive rivals. |

22nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Tapeta specialist but he's hung right before finishing a well-held fifth at Wolverhampton (5f) in his last two starts; continues to edge down the weights but he's 0-13 on turf and has not run in this sphere since last May; others preferred. |
11/2 |

5th 7 (7) |
21st Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
8st 6lb |
Four C&D wins (from marks in the 60s); excuses when a closing third over C&D on penultimate start; hung right when three places (over 4l) behind Shalaa Asker subsequently; has won for Kieran O'Neill but needs everything to drop his way. |

5th 7 (4) |
4th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |

Not straightforward (hangs right) but these conditions suit him well and he wasn't beaten far into third here two weeks ago; one of two contenders for Scott Dixon. |

15th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Career win number ten at Yarmouth last month (6f, good) and the first-time visor tried there was replaced by cheekpieces when fourth at Bath; with the visor back on he's entitled to have some say. |
10/1 |
|
1 (3) |
1st Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
All of his turf wins have been on good or quicker and he secured his tenth career success when scoring at Yarmouth (6f) two weeks ago; remains feasibly treated off 4lb higher and he's a big player again if he gets a good tow into this race; visor worn last time is removed and cheekpieces return. |
7/2 |

3 (6) |
16th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Won off way higher marks in the past and ran respectably to be third at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) last time; first-time visor joins his regular tongue-tie (usually wears cheekpieces) and he's down to a career-low mark; has run well here before and he's respected. |

26th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

Still 8lb higher than when winning over C&D in September, but narrow defeats off similar marks to this in his last two outings suggest he is capable of playing a part. |
9/2 |

3 (9) |
27th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
A string of good runs at Brighton before collecting by 3l over C&D in a race that panned out to perfection; bled from the nose when disappointing at Brighton last time but he's 7lb higher than for his penultimate run and could have competition for the lead back on AW. |

9st 13lb |
Knocking on the door with increasing vigour and went down by just half-a-length in a 0-80 here three weeks ago (7f); no issue with returning to further (has won over 8.6f) and a 2lb rise is justified; claims. |

6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Nine-time winner who has not scored since September 2024 but he finished well to go close at Catterick (5f, good) last week; looks interesting off same mark and this step back up in trip is a positive. |

11th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 6 |

Veteran with a better record on AW than turf; 5f on fast ground no problem for him and he has run well after an absence in the past (although not last year); good run wouldn't be a surprise but others appeal more for win purposes. |

17th Feb 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
12-time winner split between turf and AW; his last success was off 3lb higher at Leicester (6f) last August and he showed signs of a revival with his late headway at Southwell (5f, Tapeta) last month; has each-way claims if he can build on that and yard is in good form. |
