9th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Chance on this winter's AW best but he failed to fire back on turf at Goodwood last week (5f); return to 6f can help but others are stronger. |
25/1 |

8th 5 (5) |
2nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
His three wins have come over 6f/7f including at Goodwood (good to soft) last summer and at Kempton (off 3lb lower) in January; made some late gains when a creditable third at Kempton last month but this is a different test and his tactical speed will be tested on this first try at 5f. |

3rd 7 (6) |
1st Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Ran on well to win a Class 4 over C&D in January; respectable efforts since, including when sixth of seven behind Em Four and Brazen Idol here two weeks ago (held up in a race where the front two dominated); still feasibly weighted. |

2nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
4yo who made the breakthrough when scoring off a reduced mark at Kempton (6f, Polytrack; 18-1) in March; has claims if he can back that up but he can miss the break and will need a good pace on this drop back to 5f. |

1st 1 (9) |
25th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Well handicapped on his second at Goodwood (6f, good) last August but he's lost his way in last four runs and was beaten 14l over C&D three weeks ago; record is now 0-10 and he has a lot to prove from tough draw. |

Most wins have come in the second half of the year and always after a recent outing; returns from four months off and she might need a bit more help from the handicapper. |

6th 6 (8) |
24th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Six-time turf winner who is 1-15 on AW, but that win was over C&D in November and she was placed here (6f) three weeks ago; has wide draw this time but she's tactically versatile and could go well again on this drop back in grade. |
14/1 |

1st 9 (2) |
30th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |

Has a patchy record but she won at Windsor (6f, good) in July and was a close third over C&D (heavy) ten days ago; 1lb lower than for that last run and has claims if she can back that up. |

20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Both wins have been on AW over 6f, latest at Wolverhampton last month on his second start for this stable; flopped when favourite on his return to turf at Bath (5.5f, good) a week later and may be worth another chance back on AW. |
7/2 |

8th 1 (9) |
17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Won at Southwell for Mick Appleby in December and he made it 2-4 in cheekpieces with a dominant display at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) last week; record of 0-7 on turf but he ran well in big-field handicap at York last summer and he's a major player if he can transfer his progress back to this sphere; respected under a penalty. |
5/2 |
|
1st 6 (6) |
10th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Took well to first-time cheekpieces when opening his account in December Southwell handicap; spoiled the follow-up attempt by racing too freely and subsequently left Mick Appleby for 30,000gns; had excuses when fair fifth on stable debut at Chelmsford (also 6f; Supreme King third, Lazzar behind) a fortnight ago and might emerge best of that trio this time. |

Sole win from 12 starts came in C&D maiden in May and she took her AW record to 22312 when a 4l second of nine at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) 19 days ago; can go well. |

4th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |

Hasn't always enjoyed the rub of the green in four turf handicaps, but hasn't been disgraced; interesting back on the AW (record 2231) and worth a second look. |
8/1 |

5th 4 (2) |
22nd Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Made winning reappearance in a 6f fillies' maiden at Chelmsford in May; better form in handicaps on next two starts and when below par at Windsor last time it was a Class 5; could resume her progress back down in grade. |

Still consistent but hasn't won in three years and isn't as good now; just a fair comeback effort over 5f here 12 days ago in second-time cheekpieces (has often worn a visor) but won't mind going back up in trip now he's had a run. |

1st Jun 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |

Wins for Heather Main came at Kempton; not at his best for this yard, including back to sprinting last time after a spell over further, and isn't obviously fancied from the outside stall. |
14/1 |

9th 1 (2) |
21st May 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Both wins have come at Kempton (6f, Polytrack), but he has mainly been racing over further this year; quiet in first two starts for this yard (1m/7f) and although the return to this trip may suit and he drops into a Class 6 for the first time, others are more compelling. |
14/1 |

11th 14 (12) |
6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Two wins for Heather Main came over 6f and he hasn't always convinced over this trip; never involved for his new yard last time, when trying 1m for the first time, and needs much more into a stronger handicap. |

Six turf wins, three in 2025; 0-22 on AW and although having a healthy pull at the weights with Desdemona on their C&D run in February he's not looked in peak form on last two starts. |

7th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |

C&D win last May and followed up at Lingfield (6f; both good to firm) one week later; now 14lb lower so he has handicapping claims, for all his recent efforts need bettering; stable also runs Cabeza De Llave. |

C&D winner but she's on a long losing run and was beaten 9l on Goodwood reappearance (6f, good) 17 days ago; that was a Class 3 but she needs to leave that form a long way behind on this drop back in trip. |

7th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |

Veteran who popped up in a Class 5 at Newbury in June (6f, good to soft); hasn't matched that in three runs since and although he's often run well here, he's yet to win at the track; minor money perhaps his best hope. |

Understandably not the force of old now a 10yo but he registered the ninth win of his long career when beating ten rivals at Newbury (6f, good to firm) in June; held in a couple of Class 4 events since but he's won here in the past and is not ruled out on this drop back in grade. |
