9st 3lb |
8yo who has won five times on the July Course here, including two this year; 0-9 on this track but latest fifth of 23 in the Cambridgeshire was highly creditable; another who can't be discounted. |

8yo who has run well in this race previously and won two in a row on the other Newmarket course in July; however, he's finished no better than fifth across his last five outings and it's probably best to look elsewhere. |

21st Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
0-13 since winning his first two career starts on Polytrack, but capable of useful form as when third of 14 in the London Mile Series Final at Kempton (1m, Polytrack; first-time cheekpieces) 15 days ago; has run well on Tapeta at Newcastle and a player off the same mark as last time. |

6th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Career commenced with two wins; 0-12 since but close third in qualifier last time sets him up nicely for a crack at this final and first-time cheekpieces may have a boosting effect; in the mix. |
8/1 |

10st 1lb |
On a long losing sequence and he arrives below par, having been tried in a hood (now discarded) when seventh of ten in 1m Ascot handicap last month; handily weighted if he gets back on song though. |

3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Another prominent racer; now a seven-time winner on the AW after this year's wins over C&D and at Wolverhampton (8.6f); those were Class 4s but he's got a canny habit of never winning by far so remains on a fair mark. |
7/1 |

1st 3 (2) |
13th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 4 |

Having slipped down the weights he returned to winning ways with a comfortable success at Lingfield (1m) four weeks ago; up 4lb but not handicapped out of things. |
5/2 |

1st 5 (7) |
12th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 4 |

9st 6lb |
Sole win from 12 starts came in a Ripon novice in 2024 (1m, good); hasn't been the most consistent this season and he's been well beaten on his last two outings; down to a career-low mark but others are preferred. |
20/1 |

8th 5 (8) |
4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 4 |

Keen-going type who is winless since 2024; not proving the easiest to catch right this season too, beating just one in 1m Carlisle handicap ten days ago. |
14/1 |
|
13th 10 (6) |
24th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Often front-runner who can race freely; sole win from ten starts came in a Ripon novice (1m, good) in August 2024 but his best effort since undergoing wind surgery came when a 1l third of 11 at Nottingham (8.5f, good) last month; below his best in two starts since. |

9st 13lb |
All four wins at about this trip on the AW including one over C&D in March of last year; beaten only a nose in a competitive event at Southwell (1m, Tapeta) 13 days ago and one to take seriously from just 1lb higher. |
4/1 |
|
5 (3) |
21st Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Won four consecutive starts on the AW between March 2024 and June this year, including over C&D (2-2); solid fourth of eight at Kempton (7f, Polytrack) last month and shortlisted having fallen 1lb below her last winning mark. |
8/1 |

27th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Glorious Goodwood defeat took her turf record to 0-10; she's 4-6 on AW, all wins at about 1m; possibilities returned to this sphere off last winning mark, assuming she proves as effective back over 7f. |

15th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Two AW wins in the winter (9.4f/1m2f); it's possible he's gone off the boil but when beaten 8l in ninth of 13 at Newmarket a fortnight ago he was denied a clear passage before keeping on nicely; not ruled out each-way back up in trip. |
25/1 |
|
9th 5 (11) |
2nd May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Won twice on the AW over the winter but he seems to have gone off the boil, well beaten at Newcastle on Good Friday; not so effective yet on turf; others make more appeal. |
16/1 |
|
11th 13 (7) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
Won at Wolverhampton (9.4f) in December and over this C&D in January; below best at Wolverhampton (8.6f) latest and he's running in a higher grade than he's used to, but he has an each-way shout on the pick of his winter form. |

Five-time AW winner over 1m and he was runner-up on turf over this C&D two weeks ago on his first start for 270 days; the winner has won again since; has major claims in the returning cheekpieces. |
15/8 |

2nd 10 (5) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 4 |

Drew a blank in 2025 after a successful time of things in 2024; returns from nine months off on a dangerous mark but he is a better horse on AW. |
20/1 |
|
7 (14) |
21st Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Won his first five starts on the AW between October 2023 and October 2024 including twice over C&D; has run well on several occasions since then and just 2lb above his last winning mark, but the outside stall makes things tricky. |

It's now 13 starts since his last success but he comes here in good form, challenging wide when fourth of nine in 1m handicap at Pontefract 12 days ago; weighted to go well eased 1lb. |
4/1 |
|
4th 3 (5) |
7th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |

Has made the frame a few times this year including off higher marks, but is just 1-24 since joining this yard; others more compelling. |
10/1 |

9th 14 (17) |
24th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Sole win since joining this yard came in a first-time visor at Wolverhampton (8.5f, AW) in December and he's ran some good races since the cheekpieces went on; didn't get the best of passages at Wetherby (1m, good to firm) nine days ago and can be treated as if still in form; up in grade but could go well. |

15th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

17th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Gained a deserved first win since 2024 in 1m apprentices' handicap at Ascot a week ago, when well on top at the finish; escapes a penalty and is able to race off 2lb lower than last time, so he's very hard to side against. |
10/11 |

7f AW novice winner in 2024 but 0-17 subsequently; in the frame at 7f on his last four starts, though, and he stays 1m; due for a 2lb drop but still considered. |

7f AW novice winner at two; 0-16 in handicaps but yet another sound effort in defeat last time at Newmarket (7f, good); handicapped about right but one of these can come his way. |

14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |

5th 1 (1) |
1st May 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Began his 3yo campaign with a BHA mark of 93; a lot of water has flowed under the bridge since but he has bounced back to form for Adam Kirby, finishing second at Chelmsford in March (7f) before an easy win at Yarmouth ten days ago (6f, good to firm); 3lb well in under a penalty; obvious chance. |
6/4 |

1st 4 (1) |
21st Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
A fairly useful 7f winner at his best; gambled on for his new yard and and shaped well when second of 11 in 7f Chelmsford handicap 26 days ago, just edged out having been set plenty to do; up 3lb but he can make amends with cheekpieces refitted. |

9st 13lb |
Has seven AW wins to his name, the latest at Kempton (7f) in May, but he's 0-14 on turf; solid fourth in this race last year, however, and latest sixth of 14 (1m, AW; hampered) suggests he can play a part again. |
8/1 |

6th 6 (4) |
29th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Seven AW wins, the latest on his seasonal return last month when getting the better of I'm Working On It (7f); midfield on turf latest; returning to AW is in his favour but all his wins have come at 7f (0-10 at 1m+) and he could prove vulnerable to stronger stayers today. |
9/1 |
|
8th 11 (16) |
11th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Went very close in this last year (good) and, having ended 2025 with a win at Kempton (7f, AW), he reappeared with another there (7f) last month; he can be bang there if handling conditions (unproven on slow ground). |
