5th Jul 2026 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Eight-time AW winner, including thrice at Southwell; close third in the Northumberland Vase at Newcastle last weekend when returned to this sphere; back up 2lb but takes a drop back in grade; solid chance. |

3rd 6 (2) |
27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Very busy and he's had his share of wins, including four (one here) over 2m in 2025; AW has dominated his career; three of his last four turf starts were respectable and he's edging down the weights, so not entirely dismissed. |

21st Jun 2026 Good 2m 2f 2y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Very busy and he's had his share of wins, including four over 2m in 2025, but that's been mostly on AW which has dominated his career; best turf ratings two and three runs back before tailed off (might have overdone it up front) at Goodwood latest; again has just four rivals today but others are preferred. |

10st 7lb |
A three-time winner (including over C&D) in 2025 for Ian Williams; in good nick for his present yard too, fourth of eight in 1m3f Southwell handicap eight days ago; not out of things. |

On the downgrade in recent times for Ian Williams, from whom he was picked up for 7,500gns last month; just a fair debut for his new yard recently and this trip is a bare minimum these days. |

31st May 2025 Good To Soft 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Six AW wins since December, including a four-timer in February/March after the cheekpieces went on; four defeats have followed but he was staying on again when hampered in the closing stages over the extended 1m2f here last time, suggesting this return to a longer trip may suit. |

Off a reduced mark he was only 2.5l away in the first-time tongue-tie at Leicester (1m4f) and he does stay this far; respected. |

Maiden whose best efforts have come at Wolverhampton and who's tried in a first-time tongue-tie off the back of two poor runs on turf; this is easier but has something to prove currently. |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Took ten goes to get off the mark but it was a convincing win at Ffos Las (1m4f, soft) in August and he doubled his tally when bagging Southwell handicap (1m3f, AW) on his April return; back up 4lb but he might be capable of better and holds leading claims. |
5/2 |

1st 4 (2) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Made the breakthrough in a 0-55 at Ffos Las (1m4f, soft; 6-4 favourite) last August; failed to back that up in two subsequent starts, the latest when fifth of seven at Redcar (1m6f, good) in November; 2lb lower returned to AW (0-7) for seasonal reappearance. |

Never got involved on the AW last time but had previously got off the mark with a 4l win over 1m4f at Ffos Las (soft); that form brings him into this, off just a 3lb higher mark. |

Doesn't win very often but is usually there or thereabouts; fourth of six at Southwell (1m4f, Tapeta) five weeks ago not amongst her best efforts and better will be required. |

25th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
No win since December 2024 (1m4f); weakened from 2f out on recent stable debut at Redcar (1m2f; 14-1, beaten 15l by Woodleigh); possibly needed that first run for 278 days but others are preferred. |

Ex-Seb Spencer; dual AW winner who ran a sound race when fourth in Doncaster handicap last August (1m2f, good to firm; cheekpieces first time); no headgear this time and may need the run after 278-day break. |

11th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 13y Class 6 |

Just one win from his 25 starts but he was a good third over C&D last month and didn't see out 1m6f when fifth to Free Pic here last time; each-way claims back down in trip. |

In the hands of John Butler when sporting first-time blinkers to score at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) in February; that's her only success but a keeping-on third here (1m4f, good) was a respectable effort a fortnight ago and this new trip is probably worth a go. |

6th Jun 2025 Good 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Former Group 3 winner who's been on the slide for a while now; suggested he was about to exploit a much reduced mark when fourth at Wolverhampton (9.4f) last month and he attracted good support when keeping on for third at Brighton (1m2f, good to soft) ten days ago; overall profile far from persuasive but he still warrants consideration. |
3/1 |

3rd 6 (1) |
27th May 2025 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Suggested he might be able to exploit his much reduced mark soon when fourth at Wolverhampton (9.4f) a fortnight ago but his run at Kempton (1m4f) on Wednesday was a backward step and he remains without a win since his Irish Group 3 success in June 2022. |
