5th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 3 |
8st 9lb |
This is his first outing since last December but he's gone well fresh in the past and ran some good races in the second half of last year; his C&D form figures read 12772 and he can be in the shake-up if fully tuned up. |
10/1 |

23rd Sep 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Hasn't had many chances on AW but he looked good over C&D last spring and he picked up smartly to beat eight rivals at Chelmsford last month; this is a higher grade but a 4lb rise is fair enough and he still has a bit of potential. |
5/1 |

28th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Southwell Tapeta winner who is now 1lb lower than when successful at Haydock (5f, good) last summer, but probably needs a bit more than in his recent efforts now switched to Polytrack; stable triple-handed. |

14th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Dropped in the weights and much more competitive in recent starts, second at Chelmsford and Southwell before finishing third behind Sturlasson back at Southwell two weeks ago; better off at the weights with that rival today but might not reverse the placings. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 2 (7) |
29th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Her losing run goes back more than a year but she's been running well of late and confirmed her liking for this C&D when losing out narrowly to a well-treated rival (pair well clear) last week; solid claims. |
11/4 |

21st Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Dropped a long way in the weights this year and she returned to form with a good second at Chelmsford last month (ran without the declared tongue-tie); back up 2lb but still well treated on last season's best; C&D winner; considered. |

1st Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y |
9st 2lb |
Three wins in Britain at 5f (twice on AW); placed at Lingfield over the winter before being bought for 14,000gns in February; dropped out quickly after forcing pace on yard debut in Naas handicap last month on soft; probably best watched for now. |
20/1 |

19th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
A three-time winner (including over C&D) in 2025; yet to add to it this season but back to form with fourth of ten in 5f Southwell handicap 16 days ago; ought to be thereabouts eased 1lb. |
8/1 |

4th 3 (4) |
3rd Oct 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Handicapper giving him every chance but he's been below-par in two runs back on the AW; fine on Tapeta but does need a revival. |
16/1 |
|
8th 10 (6) |
7th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
C&D winner (from the front) who's slid to a handy mark; said to have hung right when below market expectations at Lingfield last time and needs to bounce back. |

8th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Used to make all but has become tactically versatile; all four wins have been at Chelmsford where he ran well from a wide draw 11 days ago; 0-6 on the AW here but three times a runner-up and much respected from stall 1. |
11/4 |
|
5th 9 (9) |
28th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Has been a trailblazer in the past, but showed he didn't have to lead when successful off this mark on his reappearance over C&D in May (all four wins here); should appreciate the return to this venue following three lesser efforts on turf and one for the shortlist despite the outside stall. |

30th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Rattled off an Ayr hat-trick over 7f on fast ground in July; yet to score off a mark this high, and wasn't so good on his last two starts, but good to soft ground probably didn't suit at Thirsk 25 days ago. |
14/1 |
|
7th 6 (5) |
5th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Belatedly exploited his drop down the handicap at Ayr (7f, good to firm) in July and he added two more wins over that C&D in the next fortnight; came up short in his bid for a four-timer at Doncaster three weeks ago; not handicapped out of things though and could bounce back. |

25th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Both wins have come at Chelmsford (5f, Polytrack) and is 5lb lower than for the latest in January; hasn't enjoyed the smoothest of runs in two of his last three starts and could go well from the inside stall granted a kinder trip. |
8/1 |

7th 7 (6) |
21st Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
All ten runs over 5f on AW, winning a novice and a Class 5 handicap at Chelmsford; cheekpieces didn't have a positive effect back at Chelmsford last month though and others are more appealing; first run at Southwell. |

27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 0y |
10st 1lb |
Four-time AW winner at 7f/1m for Jennie Candlish with his last win coming at Southwell off 70 in August; not at the same level since, but the best of three runs for this yard came last time here over 5f when 3l behind the winner; into 0-60 company now and returns to winning distance. |
16/1 |

7th 8 (3) |
13th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y |

Useful AW form in Britain, winning four times; well below his best in final runs for Laura Morgan and poor form has continued in two outings here for new yard; Colin Keane takes over for the first time now. |
