20th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
His win in July took C&D record to 3-4 (good to soft and good to firm); had a very awkward start here since and was soon tailed off (stablemate Cherry Cobbler was second) but, given his fine strike-rate here, he can't easily be left out. |

9th 6 (4) |
31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
All four turf wins have been gained on this course (7f/1m); beaten around 9l in his first two runs this season but he returned to form when beating Jumby over C&D (good to firm) 13 days ago; only 2lb higher here and has leading claims if he can back that up. |
7/2 |

1st 7 (5) |
18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
All three wins on turf have been achieved on this course (7f/1m); beaten around 9l in two comeback outings in recent months but eased 3lb and capable of bouncing back to form to a form with a bang. |

7f win here in December came off a 1lb higher mark; two low-key turf runs this summer and sold for £2,500 in August; cheekpieces the headgear of choice on stable debut. |

Didn't find much after travelling strongly at Newbury (6f, good to firm) last month but that was his first run since February and he's on a good mark if the outing brought him on. |

30th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Six-time turf winner who was also winning his sixth AW event when scoring at Southwell (7f) in February; 2lb lower when coming back to form with neck defeat over that C&D in April but not seen since; nothing wrong with his mark if this isn't merely a springboard to another AW campaign. |
8/1 |

2nd 5 (1) |
23rd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Gained his second C&D success when winning off a 2lb higher mark in February but he's been down the field in four starts since, including when missing the break at Lingfield 27 days ago; return to form is needed. |

29th Jan 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Familiar sight over 7f on other AW tracks, now having her first go at this one; sole win was at Wolverhampton in December, coming from off a good pace, but she followed that with a modest show off this 7lb higher mark; 7lb claimer is now enlisted. |

6th Jan 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |

Generally consistent; opened her account with 3l success over C&D last month in a race that set up nicely (came from off the good pace); could defy a 7lb rise provided the cards again drop right. |

25th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |

Hard to fault on the score of consistency this year but it's nearly two years since his last success and others appeal as likelier winners. |
8/1 |

2nd 3 (7) |
2nd Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Both wins came over C&D in 2023, but losing run now up to 17 despite a slipping mark; beaten only 3l into fifth of 13 at Southwell (1m, Tapeta) eight days ago and could play a part if building on that in the returning cheekpieces. |

25th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |

Both wins over 7f at Wolverhampton; has form at 1m, too, but he hasn't excelled himself in two C&D starts and others have stronger claims. |

Veteran who does most racing over shorter now; didn't offer a lot back from a break over C&D last Monday and is some way down the pecking order. |

All four wins have come on AW over 7f, including here in March off 55; ran no sort of race when last seen here in July from a wide draw (much better draw here). |

All four wins from 45 attempts have come on AW over 7f; her last win was at this track in March from a mark of 55; well held in four starts since (one here and three on turf); not discounted now back on this surface. |

25th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |

Turf winner who has bagged four wins at this venue; returns following a two-month break (has gone well fresh) but he's more a place prospect than a win-only one. |

22nd Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 80y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Returned to form with 8.6f AW win in March and comes here after two good efforts over 1m on turf; drops in grade here and should be fine over this extended 7f; might be the answer. |
7/2 |

8 (6) |
18th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 212y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Four-time AW winner who returned to form when scoring at Wolverhampton (8.6f) in March; record of 1-18 on turf but he went close at Chepstow (1m, good) last month and is a big player if he can back that up off unchanged mark. |

30th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Good course record, with four wins (three at 7f) and a second from eight starts; caught wide when he ran poorly over C&D last month but it was a step back in the right direction when fifth at Thirsk a fortnight ago, and he's down to the mark he won a 6f course handicap from in May; draw not overly helpful but he's considered. |

14th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

A three-time 6f/7f winner in the first half of 2026; caught wide throughout when last of nine in 7f Catterick handicap four weeks ago and no surprise to see him bounce back here. |
11/1 |

9th 2 (6) |
17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Three course wins in the first half of the year, the latest (6f, good) off a 3lb lower mark; his form has dipped on his last two starts but a revival wouldn't be a great surprise. |

14th Oct 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Prevailed by a whisker in blanket finish over C&D last week, taking AW record to 4-19; that was a timely success in a qualifier but he faces a stiffer assignment under 5lb penalty in this series final. |

1st 3 (5) |
5th Oct 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Spent most of the season over 5f and generally proven consistent on turf; fine on the AW and is capable off this mark, given a third try in a visor in place of the usual blinkers. |
5/1 |

7th 13 (9) |
5th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 7lb |
Conditions no problem and he ran creditably for third at Nottingham (5f, good to firm) last month; this is tougher but more minor money could be on the cards. |
