3rd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Handicap mark not impossible judged on his C&D win last May off 3lb lower; running okay in defeat this winter and it would be no surprise to see him in the thick of the action. |
12/1 |

7th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Good record on AW; as good as ever this year, finishing fourth (behind Cool Hoof Luke) in a Listed race at Lingfield five weeks ago and then second in a handicap back at Lingfield last week; stamina for 7f has to be taken on trust (one turf attempt saw him finish tailed off) but he hasn't got much to find on form. |
9/2 |

2nd 1 (4) |
27th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
He was returning from a 147-day break when readily accounting for eight rivals in the corresponding event 12 months ago; 10lb higher this time around but he has earned his lofty rating; close fourth in a Listed event here four weeks ago; contender. |

6th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 1y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Campaigned almost exclusively over sprint trips; consistent AW form this year includes two wins; effective on turf but hasn't scored in this sphere for three years and he's not the percentage call back at 7f. |
25/1 |
|
3rd 5 (5) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Ended a long losing run at Newcastle (6f, Tapeta) in January and he also won at Wolverhampton (6f, Tapeta) in February; he's continued in good form on Tapeta on his last two starts and is also effective over this C&D; might have a part to play. |
8/1 |

3rd 7 (5) |
7th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Ended a long losing run at Newcastle in January and successful again over C&D last month; poorly drawn when fourth at Southwell last time; one to consider. |

21st Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Thereabouts in 6f Group races in France and Ireland last summer, including on good to firm, and has shed a few pounds with his mark since; hampered on last two AW starts and not discounted back on turf in first-time cheekpieces for yard that won this with 22-1 shot Saint Lawrence (also runs today) in 2023. |
16/1 |

10th 4 (2) |
6th Apr 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Two 7f wins last spring, including Listed; made a promising seasonal/handicap debut when third at Lingfield in February (6f) but he was disappointing over C&D last month, awkward leaving the stalls but unable to make up any ground in the straight; dropped another 2lb; more appealing over further. |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Won last season's Great St Wilfrid at Ripon off a 7lb higher mark; didn't run badly at Nottingham (5f, good) on penultimate start and a wide draw offers an excuse at Chester since. |
33/1 |

10th 13 (12) |
8th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Won last season's Great St Wilfrid at Ripon off a 5lb higher mark; didn't run badly at Nottingham 12 days ago (5f, good) but he has a double-figure stall to contend with and could prove vulnerable. |
16/1 |

4th 9 (6) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
Has a better strike-rate on AW than on turf and has done all his winning over 6f/7f; inconsistent since last success; 0-12 over 5f and doesn't look the answer. |

11th Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
He had dropped a long way in the weights prior to his fine third at York's Dante meeting and he confirmed his wellbeing when seeing off 20 rivals back at York two weeks later (7f, good); ran poorly when an odds-on favourite at Chepstow one week later; fully effective over C&D; can't be dismissed. |
7/1 |

7th 1 (3) |
7th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 16y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Useful in his younger days and, having regressed last year, has found his level again of late; easily beat a big field from the front at York last weekend and a 6lb rise may well be within range now he's back in the groove. |

31st May 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Last turf win came off an 11lb higher mark at Newmarket in August 2022 (6f, good to firm) but has won twice on AW since (6f/7f); sound run when close third to Delicacy over C&D last time last time (good to firm) and although 2lb higher is one with a chance. |

1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Multiple AW winner; quirky sort who often starts slowly but he finally got off the mark (in a change of headgear) on turf in 5f Goodwood handicap last month; up 3lb but he can make his presence felt again. |
4/1 |

1st 2 (6) |
2nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
All seven wins have been on AW; record of 0-16 on turf but he was only beaten a nose off this mark at Bath (5f, firm) on Monday; has leading claims if he can repeat that form and he's versatile ground-wise; regular hood is removed and cheekpieces return. |
11/4 |

2nd 1 (7) |
27th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |

Multiple AW winner; hindered by being hampered on Good Friday last time; 0-15 on turf but ran creditably (finished second) in this race last year; place claims off same mark. |

6th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Has five C&D wins on his resume, including two Wokinghams and two Group 3s; getting on for two years since his last win though and this might be too competitive these days. |
14/1 |

28th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Hold-up sprinter who has been a source of frustration since his last win in October 2023; on a lowly mark and his four C&D runs this year have all been competitive; shouldn't be far away. |

28th Feb 2025 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
High-class sprinter in his younger days, enjoying Group 1 success in the 2021 Sprint Cup at Haydock; had some strong form last year too and although he struggled in Dubai last month, getting dropped 7lb will help; this represents an easier assignment and he's one for the shortlist. |

2nd 3 (3) |
24th Sep 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Won a local Group 3 in Qatar (6f, good) in February on second start for this yard and returned to form with very close Listed third over C&D (good to firm) last month; unproven on slow ground; he'll be tough to beat if reproducing that latest form. |

31st Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |

Collected a big prize in Qatar (6f, good; local Group 3) in February on only his second outing for this stable, but hasn't repeated that form in two runs since returning to Britain and now has something to prove. |

Not out of it on his best form but consistency isn't his strongest suit; up in class and others appeal more for win purposes. |

31st Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
His C&D win in April came off 5lb higher but little to celebrate since; needs the nine-week break to have revived his fortunes. |
