Consistent gelding who's usually ridden from off the pace; no obvious reason why he won't go well once more, back over an easier 6f, returning from a short break. |

Usually a reliable sort whose five wins have all been over 6f; beaten a head over 5f at Wolverhampton in March and a shade disappointing back on turf subsequently but should give a better performance here. |

8th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
All five wins have been this trip but he had a near-miss over 5f at Wolverhampton in March; only 1lb higher today but he was a disappointing favourite back on turf at Doncaster (5f, good to soft) last time; has a bit to prove again after that and this is a step back up in grade. |

26th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Retains plenty of ability aged nine and rallied well for neck success over C&D most recently, taking AW record to 11-69; back up the weights but won off this mark in 2022 and 2024; may remain competitive. |
13/2 |

1st 3 (4) |
7th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Ten-time AW winner who boasts a consistent record over C&D; high enough in the weights but his latest Kempton effort, back from a break, is best overlooked and the return here won't hurt. |

Looks a bit between trips just now, keeping on over Lingfield's Polytrack 6f before failing to see out 7f there latest; not beaten far on either occasion, so a further 2lb drop is a welcome surprise. |

18th Apr 2025 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Sole win in 7f maiden for Charles Hills but she went down only narrowly in a Thirsk handicap at that trip in September and is now 2lb lower; hasn't shot the lights out for new yard as yet but the return to 7f can suit and adding cheekpieces may also help. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Now 16lb lower than when winning at Ascot (6f, good to firm; also suited by 7f) on stable debut last spring, but finished well down the field in all four AW sprints since December and returns to turf with lots to prove. |
20/1 |

8th 7 (2) |
11th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
This his time of year, with two May wins in 2024 and a hat-trick last spring; arrives off the back of a string of modest efforts, though, the returning visor not making much difference last time. |
20/1 |

11th 2 (8) |
25th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Landed a turf hat-trick for the visor first going on last spring (won twice in May the year before too); well held in two AW runs from wide stalls this winter and can do better at this lower level with the visor back in place. |

Dual course winner (6f/7f) and 3lb lower than when successful at Wolverhampton (6f, Tapeta) last September, but he can't be entertained on his performances in the meantime. |

18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
The winner of 13 races, but just three of them have been on turf; yet to shine this year and he was behind a few of today's rivals over C&D last week. |
20/1 |

12th 14 (12) |
10th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Winner of 13 races and just 1lb higher than for the latest, but quiet in two starts at Southwell (6f, AW) since returning in February; needs to step up. |

17th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Ten-time sprint winner who scored at Bath (5f, good) two weeks ago and the quick turnaround may have caused his downfall at Kempton three days later; has claims if he can recapture that penultimate form and his four runs over C&D include a win and two thirds; dangerous. |
7/2 |
|
9th 1 (3) |
8th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Often a front-runner and dual C&D winner who has been in good form lately, including scoring by a neck at Bath (5f, good) on Sunday; has a 4lb penalty for that, but is well drawn to attack and much respected. |
7/2 |

1st 5 (7) |
5th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |

Front-runner; two wins in December and in the money on his last three starts; just 1-15 on turf as opposed to 8-37 on AW; others appeal more for win purposes. |

27th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Five-time AW winner (6f/7f), who scored at Kempton in January and at Chelmsford in March; no joy in last four runs but he's had another wind operation and it wouldn't be a surprise if he made a bold bid on this return to AW. |
12/1 |
|
5th 8 (10) |
4th Aug 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Has only ever placed once on turf, that coming over C&D (good to firm) a year ago, and isn't as good as on the AW but he is handicapped accordingly; didn't look to have any excuses here six weeks ago and today's slower ground may not be optimal. |
6/1 |
|
4 (4) |
21st Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Two front-running wins on Polytrack earlier in the year and ran as well as could have been expected in better company last time; currently rated a stone lower on turf (for a good reason) but did go close over C&D last July off a 4lb lower mark. |

Six-time winner on Jersey but only success on the mainland came almost two years ago; may have needed his Chelmsford return (6f, Polytrack) 11 days ago, but needs to step forward from it. |
