17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 6y Class 2 |
10st 0lb |
9yo whose last win was in September 2023 and it's possible that he'll need this first outing since February; however, he won this in 2021 and showed spark when twice finishing second in Bahrain this January (6f, good/good to firm); not ruled out. |
11/1 |

11th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
A tremendous campaigner over the years with two Stewards' Cups to his name; in and out this season and only twelfth in the Ayr Gold Cup three weeks ago, but he has clear possibilities on his fast-finishing second to stablemate Northern Ticker over C&D in August; 1lb lower today. |
16/1 |

20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Two years since his last win but this dual Stewards' Cup winner is more realistically treated these days and he gave his younger stablemate Northern Ticker a race at York last month; not so good at Doncaster last week and he will do well to win this race in his fourth attempt (seventh in 2021, runner-up in 2022 and sixth last year). |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Only 1lb higher than for his win at York's Ebor meeting (5.4f, good to firm) last August; Windsor fourth in May was promising and the Wokingham was always going to be a tough task latest; not dismissed. |
16/1 |
|
22th 28 (9) |
20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Useful form at a less competitive level in 2025, following 6f wins last June with one in a valuable York race (extended 5f, good to firm) in August; kept on well after being slightly checked in his run at Windsor in May but he has more to prove over this stiff 6f on course debut. |

27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Faced with his optimum conditions but he is 3lb higher than for his win in this race last summer; each-way claims once again. |
10/1 |

6th 8 (14) |
30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 182y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Four-time AW winner, only 1-27 on grass; never the slightest threat on return to turf at Leicester; others have more convincing profiles. |
16/1 |
|
11th 11 (6) |
25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 7lb |
Four-time AW winner who has finished close up on Tapeta (5f/6f) in his last three runs; record of 1-26 on turf but he's on a lower mark in this sphere and he ran well in the Great St Wilfrid at Ripon (6f, good to firm) last summer; dangerous. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Infrequent winner nowadays; faded into fifth of 13 at Hamilton four weeks ago; well below his last winning mark but that reflects a decline in his form. |
20/1 |
|
5th 5 (6) |
17th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Only won one of his last 28 starts but has slid to a competitive mark as a result and was unlucky not to finish closer behind The Good Biscuit and Jonny Concrete at Chester (hampered late); holds each-way claims. |
16/1 |
|
6th 7 (3) |
8th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
He hasn't been at his best in recent starts but he has dipped to a dangerous mark and he has landed a good draw; this is a tough race in which to try and turn things around though. |

3rd 11 (6) |
29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Multiple wins but he's won just once on turf in nearly two years and is suited by good or slower ground; two fair efforts of late (no help from the draw at Chester recently) but there may be other days. |
20/1 |
|
7th 2 (7) |
13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 17y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
His turf wins (5f to 6.5f) have come on good or slower; well held in three runs this spring but he offered more at Doncaster one week ago, when third despite blowing the start; mark fine and he needs respecting on this first visit to Chester on his 70th start. |
11/2 |
|
3rd 5 (2) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
His turf wins have come on good or slower including heavy ground; well held in three runs this spring but he won three times on AW during the winter and was successful in this race last year; now 2lb lower than for his last win and has claims if he can rediscover his spark. |

23rd Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Mixed results in higher grades on turf of late; has a better strike-rate (4-10) on AW and looks interesting returned to this sphere off 1lb below last winning mark. |
10/1 |
|
5 (6) |
27th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Never in contention in the Ayr Silver Cup last week; mark not beyond him judged on this year's best but he has few secrets now. |
20/1 |
|
18th 21 (17) |
20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Has a useful strike-rate on the AW but just 1-18 on turf; suffered some interference over C&D on his latest 6f start in July but he looks to have his share of weight relative to the company he keeps today. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Not the force of old but that is reflected in his handicap mark; has undergone wind surgery since his latest run but it isn't enough to earn him the vote in this competitive race; usual headgear is absent today. |
22/1 |
|
6th 4 (1) |
28th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Five visits here have resulted in three wins and two places, all at 6f; made an encouraging return when fourth of nine at Ripon three weeks ago and he's slipped to a dangerous mark; tempting. |
6/1 |
|
4th 6 (6) |
8th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
All of his four wins have been at Yarmouth (6f, good/good to firm) and latest was in September 2024; well treated on old form but he had a mixed record last season and was well held in the autumn on his final two runs; has a bit to prove after six months off and others are preferred. |

26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

His two standout efforts for this yard have come over 6f at Kempton; dropping into a Class 5 can help; each-way shout. |

10th 20 (11) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Not beaten far on AW at Kempton last time but previous turf run was a poor one; would benefit from plenty of rain (all three wins on soft). |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Six-time C&D winner; easing mark and back to form, just held by U Sure Do over C&D (good; 25-1) under four weeks ago; is capable of handling easier ground, and well drawn close to the stands' rail in stall 10; stablemate of William Dewhirst. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 9 (2) |
8th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Six-time course winner but well held in his three runs this year and latest was over C&D (good to soft) last month; has form figures of 1242 in this race in the last four years but he needs to turn things around off a sliding mark. |
12/1 |
