14th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 80y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Both turf wins have come at Doncaster where he beat only one home last time out (7f, good); that was his fourth disappointing run in succession. |

14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Both turf wins have come at Doncaster, the second in the corresponding event 12 months ago; wouldn't judge him too harshly on York last time and the return to this track and Class 5 company could see him rebound. |
9/1 |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Behind on his only run here (2023); Doncaster last June saw his only turf win since 2021, amidst plenty of AW success admittedly but he was out of form in February when last seen; has a competitive mark but other cases look a bit more solid, particularly as he's drawn wide. |

11th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Usually seen over further but he goes well on slow ground and is only 1lb higher than for his big-field win at York last summer (7f, good to soft); big run wouldn't be a bolt from the blue. |
12/1 |

1st May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Didn't appear to be crying out for the return to 1m at Doncaster and weakened late on; this is his trip, over which he was twice runner-up at Wolverhampton in March; not handicapped out of it, either. |

26th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
8st 9lb |
On a losing sequence but seemed rejuvenated by the refitting of a hood when a good third of ten in 7f Beverley handicap last month, nearest finish having had to wait for a run over 1f out; course winner who is effective over this shorter trip and a likely player off a reduced mark. |

Hurtling down the weights but for good reason as this multiple winner is looking very regressive. |

Fully 15lb lower than when winning at Lingfield (6f, AW) last December but this 9yo has regressed in recent months; has to turn things around. |

28th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Five-time AW winner but hasn't offered anything since his turf win in June, latterly here; Billy Loughnane rides but that's the main positive. |

1st Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Won over C&D in January and was also on target at Nottingham (6f, good) in June but was always behind at Lingfield (6f, AW) a fortnight ago and is far too inconsistent to rely upon. |

Veteran who does most racing over shorter now; didn't offer a lot back from a break over C&D last Monday and is some way down the pecking order. |

21st Sep 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |

2nd Oct 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Multiple winner on turf/AW but his form has dipped since a July double over 7f on good to firm; others are preferred . |

24th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Went up the weights for back-to-back 7f wins on turf in July and held since despite Toby Moore claiming his allowance; Billy Loughnane takes over but could be vulnerable off current mark. |

12th Sep 2026 Good 1m 3f 137y Class 6 |
10st 6lb |
Runaway winner at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW) last November but he's found things tough since including in two runs for new yard this summer; now back on last winning mark but sole turf win was three years ago and others are more convincing. |
8/1 |

31st Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 190y Class 6 |
10st 10lb |
Runaway winner at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW) last November, but he's struggled since and was tailed off on his stable debut at Wolverhampton (1m6f) last month; now only 1lb higher than for his last success but he needs a major revival back in trip. |
9/1 |

7th 5 (7) |
21st Jul 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 6 |
11st 0lb |
Hit with a sharp rise in the weights after running away with a 0-55 here last backend and has struggled since, including in one go over this far; has moved yards yet again (new trainer also runs Shopaholic) which needs to have helped. |

9st 8lb |
Doesn't win too often on the Flat these days but he has been placed on his last two starts, chasing home Seraphic at Chelmsford four weeks ago (1m2f); each-way claims again. |
4/1 |

27th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Prolific winning hurdler who opened AW account with clear win in amateur riders' race at Chelmsford in June; returned to the Flat with two below-par runs at Kempton this month, though, and has only dropped 1lb. |
