It's now 24 starts since his last victory though he shaped as if the run was needed after five months off when eighth of ten in 6f Wolverhampton handicap last month; needs to build on it. |

18 months since his last win but he is fully effective over C&D and he ran well for third here when last seen in January; this might not be the time to catch him. |

28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Has a patchy profile and was quiet at Wolverhampton last week, but he came from rear to snatch victory at Chester (5f, good) on his penultimate run; still looks feasibly treated on that form and has possibilities if this sets up for his closing style. |
8/1 |
|
8th 4 (8) |
17th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Has three course wins over 5f but has winning form over 6f; hold-up tactics worked to a tee at Chester (5f, good) last month when he weaved through the pack to win by a neck; such tactics do not always pay off so will do well to repeat those here. |

Not hit top gear this year but signs of a return to form when keeping on from off the pace here 14 days ago in a race he won the previous year; always dangerous if getting a strong pace to chase. |

Five wins here, two of which were over today's distance; landed his first turf win in a classified at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm) in June latest; withdrawn (upset in the stalls) five weeks ago; work to do back in a handicap. |

Four-time course winner, three over this trip, who was second in this race last year; running well since comeback in May, placed all three starts including a win over C&D (good; Soldiers Design third) in June; solid third over 6f here last time, despite a messy start; contender again. |

Mixed form since she won at Southwell (6f, Tapeta) last August, but there have been a few fair efforts in the interim and she's now 1lb below her last winning mark; not discounted. |

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. |

7th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |

9st 9lb |
Five-time AW winner including over C&D; his last success was 17 months ago but he returned after a short break with an eye-catching fourth in a Wolverhampton handicap (6f, Tapeta) last week; didn't get much luck in that race and he's in the mix back up in trip; visor reapplied. |

7th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |

His C&D third in March was his only effort of note since wind surgery last summer; it hasn't been a springboard to better things and he's not a solid option. |

4th 7 (1) |
3rd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
10st 3lb |
Rarely seen on turf these days even though he has won on it; only one piece of recent worthwhile form and jockey (who also owns him) is having her first ride in public; has dropped 8lb below his last winning mark, though, so could play a part if producing his best. |

14th May 2025 Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Has shown enough to think she could win races, but she's currently 0-33 and she didn't really threaten behind Banana here on her reappearance nine days ago (5f, firm); the extra distance should help, as may a change of headgear, but others appeal more for win purposes. |
