3rd 7 (6) |
21st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Won two of his four starts (1m2f-1m4f) since joining Tony Carroll, including for today's rider; dropping back to 1m not sure to play to his strengths though. |
8/1 |
|
5th 5 (7) |
30th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Four-time winner for Ed Dunlop and he made it 2-3 for current yard when landing novice amateurs' race at Catterick (1m4f, good to firm) two weeks ago; up another 2lb but remains well treated on his old form, and four of his wins have come over this trip; leading contender. |
9/4 |

1st 3 (3) |
15th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 13y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Four-time winner for Ed Dunlop; lost his way in Ireland but bounced back to make a winning start for Tony Carroll at Chepstow (1m2f, good to soft; fine on faster) last month; possibly found the run coming too soon when only fifth over 1m at Brighton six days later; probably stays 1m4f and retains handicapping scope on his best form. |

21st Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Dual C&D winner, including in March off a mark 1lb lower than today; respectable fifth of ten here two weeks ago when he was held up off a steady pace and raced wide on the turn for home; respected. |
9/2 |
|
2 (3) |
7th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won over C&D in March and had to wait for a clear run when fourth here (1m2f) the following month; tailed off at Newbury in June but the suitability of turf is questionable nowadays and he could bounce back on this return to AW. |
15/2 |

10st 11lb |
Won at Chelmsford (1m2f, AW) in March and had to wait for a clear run when fourth there (1m2f) three weeks ago; a case can be made on those efforts but the suitability of turf is questionable nowadays. |

On a losing run of 18 but does know how to win and drops below 0-60 level for the first time; each-way claims; stable also runs Maryland Star. |
7/1 |

3rd 3 (2) |
6th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Four wins on turf, mainly in the spring months, and she's 0-12 on the AW; better effort at Windsor in May but never went a yard without the usual cheekpieces (back today) as favourite last time; Polytrack record wouldn't inspire. |

27th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
He has the ability to make a nonsense of his lowly rating but slow starts have been a recurring theme and he completely disgraced himself at Leicester in May; running okay over hurdles this summer but can't be backed with any confidence. |
7/1 |
|
4th 3 |
20th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
1-25 on the Flat; kept on for third on handicap hurdle debut at Southwell (2m, good) in June but two lesser efforts have followed and it's questionable whether the refitted cheekpieces will make the necessary difference. |
14/1 |
|
9th 1 |
24th Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Has modest strike-rate on the Flat and is 0-4 over hurdles; placed off today's mark on handicap hurdle debut at Southwell (2m, good) last month but subsequent run in Worcester maiden was underwhelming; others have more persuasive profiles. |

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. |

13th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
11-time AW winner including four at this track (7f/1m2f); has a patchy record this year but he came from the rear to finish runner-up in a classified event at Wolverhampton (8.6f) last Tuesday; should get a decent tow into this race and he's respected back on Polytrack. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 3 (9) |
7th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Prolific winner down the years; not at very best this summer but he drops into a classified race with apprentice Myla Coppins taking off a useful 7lb; may need more of a test these days. |
11/4 |

4th 3 (2) |
21st Jun 2026 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |

2nd Sep 2025 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
All five wins have been on the AW, the latest over 9.5f here in March last year; placed in a seller (9.5f) and a handicap (1m4f) here in April; poor run back on turf after a break last time; blinkers replace visor. |

7th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
On lengthy losing run but he's been placed at Wolverhampton (9.4f/1m4f) in last two starts and three of his five wins have come over C&D; has each-way claims again back at this track. |
9/2 |

21st Apr 2025 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Handy sort; has done most of his winning at Chelmsford, but he does act here (244232172); hasn't had many goes over this far, but finished second of 11 in his only previous attempt over C&D; interesting back up in trip at this level. |

7th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
C&D winner who scored on turf at Lingfield on his penultimate run and he wasn't suited by a tactical race at Epsom (third of four) last time; only 3lb higher than for that last success and has claims if things go to plan back on AW. |
8/1 |

3rd 4 (3) |
17th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 17y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
In good form prior to capitalising on the step back up in trip to win at Lingfield (1m2f, good to firm) last month; had just a short head to spare but he's only 3lb higher today and can be bang there once more. |
7/2 |

28th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

Running consistently well in defeat on AW this season, finishing placed at Wolverhampton on last two starts (9.4f); there's every chance this three-time turf winner will be thereabouts. |

1m2f winner; positives to take from three of his four runs over hurdles, last time chasing home an odds-on Olly Murphy runner; thereabouts. |
11/2 |

2nd 2 |
13th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 3y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Won on the AW last summer (1m2f) and launched hurdling career with two encouraging fourths, latterly when just over 2l behind Jamada in 18-runner Lingfield maiden (2m, soft) in January; safely held on subsequent handicap debut but still considered here, with the switch to better ground a possible source of improvement. |

11th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 23y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Won first three handicaps for new yard on AW and turf (1m-1m2f) by emphatic margins but he couldn't defy a penalty in October and was a further 5lb higher when soundly beaten in November; now has to show he can cope with current mark; regular cheekpieces left off. |

31st Oct 2025 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 5 |

Ridden last three years by Alice Bond; 3-3 for Martin Dunne with his wins over 9.4f at Wolverhampton, 1m2f at Brighton and 8.6f at Wolverhampton, with varied tactics but all in good style; 4lb penalty and just six days off but that latest run was career-best form and this 7yo is on the march. |
