Nosed ahead in the final strides to beat Down To The Kid in C&D event three weeks ago, taking record at Southwell to 3-5 and strike-rate under Hector Crouch to 5-8; with those stats he's one for the shortlist. |

Made all and just held on when off the mark at the 20th attempt at Wolverhampton (9.5f, Tapeta) 11 days ago; 4lb wrong under her penalty, but the drop back in trip may suit on her first visit here; high on list. |

25th Feb 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Easy win in a 7f handicap last month but that race rather fell apart and the handicapper took no chances with a 6lb hike; unable to threaten back here 17 days ago; effective over C&D but others appeal more. |
10/1 |

7th 7 (8) |
8th Feb 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Back to winning ways when readily accounting for seven rivals over C&D 12 days ago; the short-priced favourite fluffed the start there and the race may not have taken much winning; a 6lb rise asks a stiffer question of her. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Infrequent winner; did score over C&D last July off a 3lb higher mark though and his latest Ffos Las second (7.3f, good) was a sound run; each-way shout. |

30th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 80y Class 6 |

2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
A winner on turf but has a superior strike-rate on the AW including a hat-trick earlier this year; only four ran when third at Yarmouth last time and that was under a 5lb claimer; could be vulnerable. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 3 (4) |
28th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 23y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Six time winner who won three in a row in January/February and he ran another good race when third at Lingfield (1m2f, Polytrack) last month; won on turf last summer but that was off a much lower mark and he needs to transfer his progress back to this sphere. |

14th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 6 |
10st 10lb |
Almost three years since he won and does most racing over shorter; gone well fresh before but pulled hard the only time he's tried this far and will want to settle early back from four months off; refused to enter stalls and withdrawn from last intended start in January (9-1 at the time). |
12/1 |

28th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Four-time AW winner who had lost his way but bounced back with a narrow defeat on stable debut over 1m2f here a month ago; unraced over quite this far but couldn't rule out. |
15/2 |
|
2nd 7 (9) |
29th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Four of his five wins have come on the AW including one here (7f); losing run up to 24 and makes his stable debut after seven months off having changed hands for 1,000gns in February; market should reveal what is expected. |

8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Five of his six wins have come on AW; didn't look straightforward without usual hood or tongue-tie (back on here) when fourth of seven at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) 12 days ago; two things in his favour here are that he is the only distance winner in the field and this represents a drop in grade, so he needs to be considered seriously. |
11/8 |
|
4th 3 (9) |
26th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Rarely seen on turf and below best since a close call on AW before Christmas but he had swamped his rivals at Redcar (1m, good) last September and was seriously hampered on the Rowley course after; weighted to go well and respected; usual aids missing but two wins minus headgear in 2025. |
8/1 |
|
8th 13 (2) |
10th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
1m turf win last September off 4lb lower; in and out since, often conceding ground at the start, but Ryan Kavanagh takes off a valuable 5lb; below his best in one Kempton appearance. |

Won three of his last four starts over 6f at different venues; shrugged off a 6lb rise last time and bids to do so again returned to further here (unlikely to be an issue); course debut. |

Won 7f Southwell classified in January and is also suited by this C&D but his recent efforts have been disappointing and his overall profile is not persuasive. |

4th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |

Veteran whose eight wins came on the AW in France; returned to form when third here over 7f eight days ago and now needs to back that up; return to 1m is no problem. |

Veteran whose eight wins came on the AW in France in his younger days; little of late to suggest he will prove a threat here. |
