Low-mileage 4yo who is 3-3 since being gelded (maiden previously), most recently winning with something to spare at Lingfield (1m) in the trial for this race; on a roll and holds strong claims. |

28th Feb 2025 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
He has looked an improved performer since returning to action (gelded during his absence) this year, following an easy 8.6f maiden win at Wolverhampton with a front-running success in a handicap over the same C&D 17 days later; 6lb rise asks more of him but he could be up to the task. |

16th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Having dropped 1lb below his last winning mark he returned to form when third of 13 over C&D a fortnight ago (good to firm; Final Night second); he can be in the mix back up 1lb if backing up that latest performance. |

Fine stable servant with 11 wins to his name, although recent efforts have been underwhelming; only seventh of ten at the Craven meeting here and he needs to be revived by the presence of Ryan Moore in the saddle. |

31st Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Drawn a blank since January 2024 but he hasn't had much clemency from the handicapper; latest AW run saw him finish fourth at Newcastle in June having met trouble in running and he will be in the shake-up if anywhere near that level. |

21st Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Won his first five starts on the AW between October 2023 and October 2024 including twice over C&D; has run well on several occasions since then and just 2lb above his last winning mark, but the outside stall makes things tricky. |
16/1 |

23rd Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 31y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Five-time AW winner but he was reluctant to race at Kempton (tailed off) last month and finished well held back off a lower turf mark at Sandown (1m, good) last time; record on grass is 0-9 and others are preferred. |
14/1 |

7th Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Well handicapped on this year's AW form but reluctant to race when well beaten at Kempton (1m, AW) last month and he has a lower turf mark for a very good reason (0-8 on grass as opposed to 5-12 on AW). |

16th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
His only turf wins came in a Royal Ascot handicap and Newbury Group 3, but they were in 2023 and he needs the cards to drop right for his late bids; scored on AW in January but subsequent form, including when 40-1 in the Victoria Cup last Saturday, isn't good enough. |
40/1 |

20th 1 (9) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Very useful but rather needs the cards to drop right and gained his only turf wins, namely in Royal Ascot handicap and Newbury Group 3, in 2023; peak AW form this year when scoring in January; finished seventh (off 4lb higher) in this contest 12 months ago. |

9st 7lb |
Only won one of his last 25 starts and regressed last year; now 11lb lower than when beaten a nose over C&D last spring but there's nothing to suggest he's best caught fresh; others have more pressing claims. |
16/1 |

3rd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Struggled on his last four starts but he has dropped 9lb as a result; fully effective around here and he's likely to bounce back soon; 7f perhaps his optimum trip though. |

25th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 3 |

Five-time AW scorer who is only 1-19 on turf; admittedly faced a stiffer task in Class 2 event returned to grass last time and this looks more suitable; mark is workable. |

11th 14 (12) |
16th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
1-18 on turf but his only two appearances at this track saw him take third in the Spring Cup and this race in 2024; operating a bit below that level since last August, which, despite some AW success, has to put him down the pecking order in such a hot race. |

Campaigned mostly on AW, reaching a fairly useful standard; posted good efforts in November/January but form dipped last month; something to prove off current mark in this warm event back on turf. |

28th Feb 2025 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 2 |

C&D win last April; runner-up in handicaps at around this trip at Southwell and Wolverhampton this winter but his form dipped back at Wolverhampton four weeks ago (9.5f); cheekpieces now added. |
12/1 |

7th 6 (1) |
1st Feb 2025 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Hasn't finished out of the first three in five AW starts, on the latest collared only in the final strides by the reopposing Smart Hero over 8.6f here; this low-mileage 4yo is likely to give another good account. |
