5th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
In-form 6yo who scored at Nottingham in May/June and ran well when favourite for the Carlisle Bell most recently; revised mark has kicked in but he defied it last summer; solid chance. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 13 (13) |
24th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Creditable sixth of 16 at York (1m1f, good) before winning at Nottingham (8.5f, good) under Jake Dickson four days ago, making it two wins from his last three starts; escapes a penalty for that success and can't be dismissed. |
8/1 |

1st 4 (1) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Recorded his fourth win when scoring over C&D (good) last month and he backed that up with a creditable sixth in a big field at York (1m1f, good); remains feasibly treated on his best form and he's in the mix back at this track. |

13th Sep 2026 Yielding 0m 5f 0y |
9st 6lb |
Some good efforts over 5f this year but has met his match in Group races won by Rumstar, Cover Up and American Affair; 66-1 when towards the rear in the Nunthorpe. |

|
15th 6 (17) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
10st 1lb |
Some good efforts over 5f this year but he has met his match in Group races won by Rumstar, Cover Up and American Affair on his last three starts and has it to prove in this company. |
66/1 |
|
7th 6 (8) |
31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
6yo who has been campaigned over further for the majority of his career but he's been a progressive sprinter this season, finishing third in a Group 3 at Sandown (5f, good) on July 4 then runner-up in Group 2 at the Curragh (5f, good to firm) last time; however, this tougher race demands more. |

24th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 5 |

Three good runs since the tongue-tie went on, last time finishing third of five at Nottingham (8.5f, good to firm); each-way chance. |
11/2 |

3rd 1 (4) |
3rd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Serial slow starter who ended a losing run off a 4lb lower mark at Doncaster 11 days ago before bumping into a well-handicapped winner over C&D last Thursday; holds claims, especially if he can get away on terms for a change. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 2 (5) |
30th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Often slowly away, just as he was when winning at Doncaster (1m, good to firm; first-time tongue-tie) last week having dropped a long way in the weights; has to be respected under a 5lb penalty. |

29th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
In good form since returning to turf in the spring, getting the better of Silver Ghost to score at Newmarket (good) in May before solid third on the July course (again 7f, good to firm) the following month; just caught out by a drop to 6f when fourth at Ascot 19 days ago but that form is working out well; player back at 7f with William Buick taking over. |

3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Another prominent racer; now a seven-time winner on the AW after this year's wins over C&D and at Wolverhampton (8.6f); those were Class 4s but he's got a canny habit of never winning by far so remains on a fair mark. |
7/1 |
|
1st 3 (2) |
13th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Having slipped down the weights he returned to winning ways with a comfortable success at Lingfield (1m) four weeks ago; up 4lb but not handicapped out of things. |
5/2 |
|
1st 5 (7) |
12th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Has dropped to a dangerous mark, 8lb lower than when last successful, but losing run up to 11 and he was behind three of these at Wolverhampton (8.6f, Tapeta) 13 days ago. |

16th Oct 2026 Heavy 0m 7f 212y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Down the field at Southwell last time but that was a rare AW start; prior to that he was an unlucky runner-up at Beverley (8.4f, heavy) and he won this race on heavy ground in 2024; finished fourth last year; key player. |
10/1 |
|
7th 6 (3) |
22nd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Losing run is up to 13 but he went close at Newcastle (1m, Tapeta) in July and backed that up with a good second at Beverley (8.4f, heavy) last month; only 1lb higher back on AW and he should be in the thick of things again. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 7 (7) |
30th Aug 2026 Soft 1m 0f 100y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
0-12 since winning off 2lb higher at Carlisle (7.7f, soft) in June last year, but has gone close a couple of times in that period as when beaten a head and a neck into third of 14 at Newcastle (1m, AW) last month (winner has gone in again twice since); goes very well on soft ground and has won twice here (7f/8.5f); a player. |

30th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Well beaten on turf on his last two starts (soft/good to soft) but both of his wins have been over this C&D, the most recent when visored for the first time in February off a 7lb lower mark; could be more competitive back on this surface. |
33/1 |
|
10th 10 (7) |
3rd Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Two AW wins at 1m, the latest in February, but it's over two years since he achieved anything on turf and that was in a maiden; up against it. |
33/1 |
|
7th 4 (1) |
12th Jun 2026 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Up and down on AW since these aids were fitted at the start of 2026, winning at Kempton and back to form after a couple of lesser efforts when runner-up at Lingfield in May (both 1m); no good thing to improve on poor efforts in two previous turf handicaps last year. |
