6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Up in the weights after two turf wins last year and has never won off a mark this high on the AW; finished the season with a whimper and may need this at his age back from six months off. |

26th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Won three times in 2024 but unable to add to his haul since; retains ability but perhaps vulnerable for win purposes once more. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 4 (2) |
14th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Four-time winner from 40 starts; made an encouraging start to the campaign when second at Bath last month but ran below his best at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 10 days ago; without a win since July 2024 and needs to bounce back from that latest effort. |
6/1 |
|
8th 10 (1) |
4th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Made an encouraging start to the campaign with second-place finish at Bath; likely to remain competitive, having posted form figures of 1122 at Windsor, including a sound effort behind Tiger Tulip last May; hasn't won since 2024 but looks a solid contender. |

18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Versatile trip-wise and six of his 12 wins have come at Windsor; on same mark as for his Sandown win last autumn and he's been running well on AW this spring; should get a good tow into this race and he's in the mix back at this track. |
11/2 |

3rd 3 (1) |
28th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
No AW win since December 2021 but there have been some good runs on both Polytrack and Tapeta this year, including C&D, and yesterday's 6f second was another sound display; wasn't helping his rider under pressure on that occasion and opposable for win purposes. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 2 (1) |
27th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Into the veteran stage now and it's a long time since his latest AW win but he made the frame over C&D two starts ago and kept on well for second behind a next-time-out winner at Wolverhampton (6f) on his most recent outing. |

23rd Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
9-38, her latest success coming when beating three rivals off 2lb lower at Salisbury (5f, good to firm) in June; just as effective over this trip and was poorly drawn when well held at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) last time; not dismissed. |
6/1 |
|
10th 9 (13) |
31st Jul 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Ended 2024 in fine form, winning three AW handicaps between September and November; off the mark for 2025 when keeping on strongly to win an uncompetitive four-runner event at Salisbury last month; respectable third at Newmarket 13 days ago; drawn widest and likely vulnerable. |
12/1 |
|
5 (2) |
18th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Three 6f AW wins last autumn and back on the scoresheet in four-runner handicap at Salisbury (5f, good to firm) last month; inconsistent this year and in a tougher race today, but she's nevertheless respected up 4lb. |

17th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Record on the AW reads 1211 and he was impressive when making virtually all over 6f here eight days ago; 5lb penalty and return to 5f shouldn't preclude another big performance. |
11/10 |
|
1st 4 (2) |
9th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Made it 2-3 on the AW when making all at Chelmsford (6f, AW) two weeks ago having been gelded over the winter; 4lb rise for that success looks fair and he has strong claims. |
2/1 |

1st 1 (1) |
26th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Less exposed on AW than on turf; form in this sphere comprises a success in C&D novice in 2024 and creditable second in Lingfield handicap (5f) on penultimate appearance; gelded since latest; one to consider. |

20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Hasn't won for a while but was an encouraging third on his return at action at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 16 days ago; sports a first-time visor and is well-handicapped on his old form. |
9/1 |

3rd 5 (6) |
4th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Has returned to AW this year, best efforts when placed twice; losing run is mounting up but he has loads of Windsor form, including three wins, and returns to this venue off an attractive mark; possibilities. |

4 (9) |
2nd Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
In fair form in second half of 2024, winning 7f Salisbury maiden (good to firm) before finishing third in Southwell novice (6f); had a wind op afterwards; best of her three runs this year when 3.5l seventh of nine at Windsor last time (6f, good); return to 7f could suit. |

23rd Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |

Won a Salisbury maiden (7f, good to firm) a year ago, but having undergone wind surgery has been well beaten in both starts over C&D since returning in June; best watched for now. |

Ran well on his only previous outing at Southwell but has lost his form of late and finished down the field at Redcar 11 days ago; hopes depend on how he reacts to first-time cheekpieces. |
8/1 |

16th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 217y Class 4 |

Off the mark on handicap debut at Doncaster in April (5f, good to firm); some fair runs since, including a good second over 6f, but disappointing on last two starts. |
8/1 |

8th 5 (9) |
23rd Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Patchy form since making a successful handicap debut/reappearance at Doncaster (5f, good to firm) in April, his best subsequent effort when beaten a head off this mark at Catterick (6f, good to soft) on his penultimate outing; each-way claims on his best form. |

9st 12lb |
Both wins on turf in 2024 when trained by Ralph Beckett; ran her best race for current yard when third of ten here (6f) on AW debut ten days ago; is at least as effective over 7f and should run well. |
7/2 |

4 (3) |
27th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Best of three runs for this yard when fourth of 14 at Haydock (5f) three weeks ago, keeping on; at least as effective over 6f and well treated on her best form for Ralph Beckett; AW debut. |
7/1 |
|
6 (9) |
5th Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
On a competitive mark on form as recent as June but hasn't been at the top of her game on her two outings for this yard; unproven on slow ground. |
