4th 7 (5) |
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. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y |
9st 9lb |
British challenger a five-time handicap winner, most recently scoring off 92 at York in May; creditable first run in stakes company in a Sandown Group 3 last time when a 1.25l third behind the 110-rated Rumstar; that's solid form and Colin Keane keeps the faith; place chance. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 2 (4) |
4th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Useful handicapper who has shown career-best form on last two starts, winning at York (5f) then creditable third at Epsom (6f); faces a stiffer assignment on these terms, however. |
33/1 |
|
3rd 6 (14) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 3y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Unproven on soft/heavy ground; has got faster over time and prevailed narrowly at York (5f, good) most recently, registering a first sprint win; peaking at the right time and record of 2-2 at Epsom (7f) includes a success at this meeting 12 months ago; major player. |

17th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
On a losing run and he looked rusty after eight months off when tenth of 14 in 1m2f handicap at York on his return 20 days ago; this C&D winner can take a step forward here. |
7/1 |
|
10th 12 (2) |
27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Potentially very well handicapped but that's for a reason as last season was mostly underwhelming; off since November. |
16/1 |

6th 2 (6) |
23rd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Two wins last year, the latest at Pontefract (1m, good to firm) in September off 8lb higher than today; beaten about only 3l when ninth of 16 at York (1m, good) 46 days ago and now drops in grade on his return to AW. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
10st 0lb |
Dual winner at 1m who was dropped back down to 7f when he scored at Newmarket (good) in May; stayed on for third over that trip on the July course a fortnight ago so this first start at 6f is something of a surprise. |
14/1 |
|
3rd 4 (6) |
25th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Not straightforward but he is a capable performer on his day and he landed his first turf success when beating Silver Ghost on the Rowley course six weeks ago, again hanging right under pressure but full value for the neck winning margin; up 3lb but has the ability to feature. |
6/1 |
|
1st 7 (13) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
0-7 on turf and his best form (and both wins) has come on AW; below par on AW on last two starts and arrives with something to prove. |

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. |

11th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Promising fifth in the Spring Mile on his return and then found only a stablemate too strong at Ripon in April (both 1m, good to soft); not so good at Pontefract last time when faced with good ground; the more rain to fall the better for him. |
6/1 |
|
7th 5 (6) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Won last summer's Carlisle Bell off this mark (1m, soft); ran well when fifth in the Spring Mile at Doncaster on his return before finding only his stablemate Milteye too strong at Ripon 13 days ago (1m, good to soft; Walsingham back in third); fully effective over C&D but he appears to have a preference for slower than good now and drying conditions aren't sure to suit. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 5 (4) |
16th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
The vast majority of his wins have come on slow ground but the going was good when he was second in this race last year; reappeared with promising fifth of 22 in the Spring Mile at Doncaster and could be in the mix. |

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. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 2 (6) |
12th May 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Responded well to the fitting of a visor when winning easily on his Kempton return (1m, Polytrack) in February, but twice disappointing since and still 7lb higher; enough to prove. |
12/1 |
|
7th 2 (1) |
6th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Very disappointing when last of five behind City Of God in a Chelmsford seller (1m, Polytrack; 4-7) last time but perhaps the run came too soon after gaining second C&D success eight days earlier; a player if bouncing back. |
