7th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
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. |

26th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |

All ten wins have been on AW including five at this track; runner-up off 2lb higher over C&D in September but it has been tough going since and others look safer. |

28th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |

Better at 6f these days and can be given a pass for his latest Southwell run (5f); second over C&D on his penultimate start and he is one to consider at this level. |

9st 6lb |
Drawn wide when winning this race 12 months ago off a 1lb higher mark; not hit top gear yet in 2026 but this should be run to suit him and a revival would come as no surprise. |
8/1 |
|
9th 6 (8) |
6th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Three of his four wins on AW have been over 5f at this track; has pulled too hard to give himself a chance in his two runs this year; needs revival on return to this track. |
7/1 |
|
7th 11 (5) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Runner-up in this race last year and he scored off 1lb lower at Chester (5f, good) last July; never a threat on his reappearance at Lingfield (6f) last month but he pulled hard and this drop back in trip is a positive; usually comes from off the pace and has claims if he gets the breaks. |

Veteran who gained a first win on turf in Yarmouth classified event (6f, good to firm) three weeks ago; work to do back in a handicap but this isn't the deepest of contests. |

26th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Nine-time AW winner who is 0-23 on turf, but he's versatile ground-wise and has finished runner-up in two of his five starts at Yarmouth; hasn't threatened back on turf in last two runs but he ran respectably over C&D last time and he's in the mix back in a classified event. |

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. |
12/1 |

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. |
