Regressive gelding who can pull hard and has hung left a couple of times since returned to turf, including here; most racing over 5f and his record over this trip is hard to enthuse about, for all that this is easier snd he's in a new headgear combination. |

Not as good as he was and although that is reflected in his handicap mark, others bring more pressing claims. |

3-25; most recent win came off 16lb higher at Goodwood (5f, good) in August 2023; pulled hard at Chelmsford (5f, AW) when last seen in February; refused to enter stalls in March and returns to turf with hood reapplied. |

Took advantage of a sliding mark round Lingfield in the winter (last four wins come there but is fine on Tapeta); off the boil since and this is a bit tougher; would want to see some support tonight. |

In good form at Lingfield during the winter and is a bit of specialist over 6f there (112121), but he has won over this C&D; latest Kempton effort not hard to forgive given his record at that track and could easily bounce back; shortlisted. |

Won 5f Catterick maiden as a 2yo; has struggled in handicaps for more than a year but the drop to this grade could help and first-time cheekpieces may also assist. |

Much lower in the weights than when making the frame in her first three starts last year, but that's for a good reason with her form in four outings for this yard since last November decidedly moderate; look elsewhere. |

Solid strike-rate on AW but not so good on turf and latest sixth of 12 at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) will need improving on; nothing wrong with this mark, though. |

Enjoyed a hot spell in late 2025, winning three times (5f) either side of a close second over C&D; it has been tougher going this year and although Billy Loughnane's booking heightens interest, the draw could have been kinder. |

Last five wins have been over 5f, the most recent at Wolverhampton (AW) in December; below his best in four starts since and now returns to turf for the first time since October 2024 following a 120-day break; best form on grass has been on soft/heavy. |

9st 6lb |
Five-time AW winner (6f/7f), who scored at Kempton in January and at Chelmsford in March; no joy in last four runs but he's had another wind operation and it wouldn't be a surprise if he made a bold bid on this return to AW. |
12/1 |

4th Aug 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Has only ever placed once on turf, that coming over C&D (good to firm) a year ago, and isn't as good as on the AW but he is handicapped accordingly; didn't look to have any excuses here six weeks ago and today's slower ground may not be optimal. |

Two front-running wins on Polytrack earlier in the year and ran as well as could have been expected in better company last time; currently rated a stone lower on turf (for a good reason) but did go close over C&D last July off a 4lb lower mark. |

2-2 over C&D (both in 2023) and tends to come to hand around this time of year; back on a fair mark and offered more last time, so there are positives for a yard that took this three years ago. |

22nd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Three wins at both sprint trips on this course, on good to firm and good; one to keep an eye on as she's been a regular winner down the years but she came home in her own time on her recent return from a break so another run or two might be in order. |

30th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Most wins have come in the second half of the year and always after a recent outing; returns from four months off and she might need a bit more help from the handicapper. |

9st 13lb |
Back on the up following a wind op in May, placed at Bath and over C&D before making all in a small-field handicap at Lingfield (6f, good to firm) 19 days ago; a 4lb rise asks more of her but she should give another good account; stable also run So Smart. |

27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Well suited by undulating tracks and has come back to form since undergoing wind surgery; now 3lb below her last winning mark and Harry Vigors has plenty of experience for 5lb in this company; down in class and it's hard to find any negatives. |

15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 16y Class 5 |

A few near-misses to go with her C&D win and she bounced back last time from a string of poor efforts on her first start since undergoing wind surgery; on a fair mark if she builds on that. |

Last three turf wins came on this track, on extremes of going; went quiet on the AW earlier in the year but he came from a long way back to take a late third over C&D in May and has better claims than most. |

Pretty consistent last spring-autumn but doesn't win very often and made a low-key reappearance over C&D last month; needs to have taken significant benefit from that recent outing. |

Verdict
Provided his latest effort is backed up, FAI FAI has an excellent chance back down two grades. Sisters In The Sky, Brunel Charm and Watermelon Sugar look the biggest dangers, in that order of preference.[Steve Boow]
