30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 182y Class 3 |

Four-time AW winner, only 1-27 on grass; never the slightest threat on return to turf at Leicester; others have more convincing profiles. |

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. |
8/1 |

2nd 13 (14) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Three-time C&D winner, including this race in 2024 off a 2lb higher mark, and he has shaped well on his last two starts; he will need luck if it gets congested up the stands' rail but too much ability to rule out. |

13th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Produced an uncharacteristic below-par run at Newcastle (6f, AW) last month but he's had wind surgery since and was progressive on AW in the winter; twice finished close-up in big-field handicaps over this C&D (good/good to firm) last summer and there's every chance he will be bang there. |
10/1 |

7th 7 (16) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Rewarded strong market support in game fashion at Southwell on New Year's Day (6f); another solid effort when second of 14 over C&D two weeks later; 2lb higher today but there is a fair chance he hasn't reached his ceiling after just 12 starts. |
7/1 |

2nd 3 (8) |
16th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

Ran several good races in defeat last year and he recorded his first handicap success when seeing off a few reopposing rivals at Southwell on New Year's Day (heavily backed); raised 3lb but still on the up. |

12th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |

Went close at Newcastle (6f) two weeks ago on debut for new yard, taking AW record to 11113; effective at 7f; only 1-10 on turf and doesn't look the percentage call in this major handicap. |
20/1 |

3rd 4 (1) |
28th Jun 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
4-4 on AW when trained by Archie Watson, including a 7f handicap win at Chelmsford off a 3lb higher mark; 2024 was disappointing and he was also well held on his reappearance in Qatar in January; should be of more interest back on AW starting out for a new stable. |

13th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 10lb |
Steadily progressive over 6f, mostly in handicaps prior to showing bigger things this season by bagging Listed honours at Doncaster (good to soft) and finishing a good second in Group 3 at Newmarket (good); at the top of his form and may rate higher still; in the mix. |
9/1 |

2nd 1 (12) |
16th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
Steadily progressive, mostly in handicaps, throughout his career; won by 1l going away from Jasour in Listed event at Doncaster (6f, good to soft) on seasonal debut, looking better than ever and taking record to 6-23; solid second in both C&D starts; enters calculations upped further in grade. |

Notably tough and consistent in handicaps, posting another personal best when winning narrowly at Ascot (6f, soft) last October; this Listed event requires another step up the ladder but he always gives his all and it's not out of the question. |

Promising reappearance after wind surgery when fourth at Newcastle (6f) but has taken two backward steps since; has his first run beyond sprint distances here and needs to bounce back after seven weeks off. |

27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |

9st 4lb |
Third in 2yo Group 2 in 2024; ran respectably off a falling mark on a few occasions last season but he's struggled in two 1m handicaps (good to soft/good to firm) this spring; has plenty to prove and overall record is now 1-14. |

20th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 3 |

Third in 2yo Group 2 in 2024; unable to reproduce that promise last season and well beaten in last month's Spring Mile on stable/seasonal debut; however, he has a reduced mark to work with and his new trainer may well find the key to him sooner rather than later; the returning visor may be a plus. |

1st Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
These conditions bring out the best in him and was taking his C&D record to 4-6 when finishing with a flourish to win a strong handicap last month; remains capable of further progress and although he has something to find at the weights, a bigger concern is the prospect of a tactical event. |
3/1 |

1st 2 (4) |
6th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Better on AW than turf and his C&D record reads 31511 (including this race 12 months ago); endured a troubled passage at Newcastle on his most recent AW run and still looked in form; no show in the Stewards' Cup but this is altogether more suitable; Oisin Murphy rides for the first time. |
4/1 |

2nd Aug 2025 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

13th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

Reappeared with close third at Newcastle (6f, AW) last month then snapped a losing run when winning at Leicester (6f, good to firm); there's still mileage in his mark judged on old form (including two C&D wins); chance. |
14/1 |

1st 12 (8) |
25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

On lengthy losing but he's a smart handicapper on his day and he returned from five months off with a good third at Newcastle (6f, AW) two weeks ago; should benefit from that run and he remains well treated on his second in the Stewards' Cup last August; interesting contender. |

Smart on his day, as when close up in a Group 3 at Newbury (7f, good to soft) in April 2024; showed he was sharp enough for 5f when going down in a tight finish at Hamilton (good; four ran) in August and although below that level since he'll be suited by a return to good to soft ground in this lower grade than of late; has run well in a visor and it's now refitted. |
