3rd 3 |
27th May 2026 Good 2m 2f 110y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Bumper and four-time Flat (1m2f/1m4f) winner who is ideally suited by fast ground; respectable fourth on AW when last seen in February and he's on a workable mark back over hurdles; needs close look for in-form yard. |
7/1 |

4th 2 (4) |
10th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Out of the frame in all four starts since returned to the AW, but his fifth of ten over 1m2f here in December suggested that all may not be lost; now 6lb lower than for that effort and 8lb lower than when last successful; interesting. |
11/1 |
|
7th 2 (1) |
24th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Now 6lb lower than for his two turf wins last May, but he's finished down the field in last six starts and last three have been at this track (1m2f/1m4f); others preferred. |

8th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 209y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Scored for the sixth time when making all at Newbury (13.5f, good to firm) off 1lb lower in July and gave it a fair go from the front when second at Bath (2m1f, good to firm; Educator third) three weeks ago; same mark and should make his presence felt. |
16/1 |
|
2nd 5 (1) |
17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 2m 1f 24y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Often a front-runner but he's a tactically versatile; six wins on turf (1m4f-1m6f) but he's not easy to predict and has been quiet on AW this winter; now only 1lb higher than for his last success but he still has stamina to prove at this trip and others are preferred. |
12/1 |
|
8th 6 (1) |
21st Feb 2026 Standard 1m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Six-time turf winner but he's 0-5 on AW and has been well held at Kempton (2m, Polytrack) in last two runs; bit to prove but a return to positive tactics could help and his last win was over 1m5f; reapplied cheekpieces replace blinkers; stablemate of Risen Again. |

29th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 2f 50y Class 6 |
11st 13lb |
Dual Nottingham winner; acts on soft, unraced on heavy; shot back to some form when storming home in an amateur riders' race at Bath (11.5f, good to soft) last month; well below form next time (1m6f, which he stays) but Henry Callan galvanised him to a 1m4f win at Newbury (soft) on Saturday; sole attempt at 1m2f was in 2021 but he had to hold on at Newbury after going clear and his appearance over this trip with 4lb penalty no longer looks ridiculous. |

Acts on soft, unraced on heavy; shot back to some form when storming home in an amateur riders' race at Bath (11.5f, good to soft) last month; well below form off this 7lb higher mark at Haydock (1m6f, which he stays) 13 days later, however. |

25th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Consistent mare who scored three times at Windsor (11.5f) last term and has posted two creditable efforts at Lingfield (latest over 2m) this year; C&D record reads 312; solid claims. |
7/2 |
|
5th 6 (7) |
31st Jan 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Reliable type who returned from over three months off with a creditable fourth over 1m4f here three weeks ago; versatile trip-wise and stays this far; each-way hopes. |
10/1 |
|
7 (4) |
28th Sep 2025 Good 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Has gained all turf wins over the extended 1m3f at Windsor, including in three of her last four outings; switching back to elsewhere isn't ideal but she has bits of Epsom form; better than ever and enters calculations. |

4th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
No win since May 2024 (1m2f, Bath) but she has fallen a long way in the weights as a result; may have needed her reappearance run at Wolverhampton (9.4f) last month but she had a patchy record last season and others are more convincing. |
12/1 |
|
4th 6 (2) |
21st Apr 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
No win since May 2024 (1m2f, Bath) but she has fallen a long way in the weights as a result; bogged down on heavy ground at Nottingham last October; it's difficult to know what to expect returned to AW (0-11) off a six-month absence. |
16/1 |
|
16 (7) |
23rd Oct 2025 Soft 1m 2f 50y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
C&D winner who handles testing conditions; short of her best on last two starts but August's Chelmsford third came off 5lb higher. |

15th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
12-race maiden; creditable efforts in three AW handicaps in the spring but he's failed to beat a rival at Windsor (11.4f) and Southwell (2m) in last two starts; has plenty to prove again and he needs a major revival back at this trip. |
12/1 |

14th 8 (4) |
13th Jul 2025 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
11-race maiden, all on AW except when well beaten on good ground on latest outing; pretty consistent in this sphere and well treated judged on best efforts, but the move up from 1m4f requires some guesswork. |
16/1 |
|
6 (7) |
9th Jun 2025 Good 1m 3f 99y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Ten-race maiden, all on AW; pretty consistent, stays 1m4f and edging down the weights but probably needs to find a bit extra for this turf debut. |

18th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Belatedly opened his account in Chelmsford contest (1m2f) in August; couple of subsequent defeats confirm his limitations and take strike-rate to just 1-23; not the percentage call. |
14/1 |
|
7th 2 (7) |
18th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Off the mark at the 21st attempt in an amateur riders' race at Chelmsford (1m2f, Polytrack) last month, but only fifth of nine behind Royal Pleasure at Lingfield (1m2f, Polytrack) 15 days ago; these conditions may suit him better having been placed in one go over this C&D. |
7/1 |
|
5 (9) |
3rd Sep 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Off the mark at the 21st attempt when readily seeing off six rivals in an amateurs' race at Chelmsford 13 days ago; up 3lb but comes here at the top of his game. |

24th Jun 2025 Good 1m 3f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Front-runner; gained back-to-back wins in the middle of 2022 and 2024 and has done so again this year following recent victories at Chepstow (1m4f, good) and Windsor (good); the hat-trick has just eluded him so far, but hard to rule out in his current form. |
13/2 |
|
9 (3) |
9th Jun 2025 Good 1m 3f 99y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Front-runner; it's eyecatching that he's won over this trip in his only two handicap starts at Windsor (2022 and August 2024); last year's was middle leg of a hat-trick (following a long break) on wide range of ground and he reappeared with a Chepstow win four weeks ago; up 6lb to career-high mark but did it well and looks sure to have a big shout. |
3/1 |
|
1st 5 (3) |
13th May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
C&D winner who hasn't been seen in 162 days, but he has been successful after a much longer absence; just 1lb above his last winning mark and could go well. |
