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. |

13th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Six-time course winner, most recently off 2lb lower in December; finished an aggregate of almost 3l behind Diamondonthehill in two subsequent starts; that solid rival seems to have the upper hand. |

Record of 10-46 on AW, the most recent success at Wolverhampton in December; respectable fourth to Echalar there in follow-up attempt and remains in form. |

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. |
4/1 |

28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Best form over 7f, including second-place finishes on Wolverhampton AW this year; faded into midfield, having raced freely, when joint-favourite for this contest 12 months ago; not crying out for return to 1m. |

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 |

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. |

All five wins have been on the AW over further than this, the latest at Wolverhampton in January; below his best in three starts since finishing third there in February and he's 0-15 on turf. |

Five-time AW winner who scored at Wolverhampton (7f) in January but he's been out of sorts on Tapeta in his last two runs; has plenty to prove again and all of his wins have been over longer trips. |

11-time course winner, including three since December; only 1lb higher than when completing a C&D double in February but he has struggled on his last four starts; needs to get back on track. |

Winless since 2024 and he beat only two home in a 7f Lingfield handicap 17 days ago; cheekpieces are reached for now. |
7/1 |

7th 5 (8) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
He has run just once at this track and it resulted in his best performance for some time, finishing a neck second over this trip in January; not so good at Kempton last month but he drops back down in class today. |

1st Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Multiple wins include four over C&D; his losing AW run goes back two years but he's on a handy mark now and showed he can make it pay when close up at Bath (1m) recently after getting checked in his run; blinkers return and Oisin Murphy rides for the first time; can be involved. |

12th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Two wins last year, the latter in runaway fashion over 1m4f here in November (6lb higher today); shot up the weights and found it tough since but he is creeping back down again; unraced on Flat beyond 1m4f. |

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. |
